Lomacang and with me

amazing how time flies,
00:00:41.96\00:00:45.14
but how wonderful God's
promises are and we can trust
00:00:45.35\00:00:48.77
in those promises all the time.
00:00:48.97\00:00:50.48

00:00:58.89\00:01:00.23
we are gonna dive into
some further understandings
00:01:00.43\00:01:02.86
of the topic of
health and what intension
00:01:03.06\00:01:06.01
God has for your body.
We have some Bible questions
00:01:06.19\00:01:08.10
also and before we even
give you our website address,
00:01:08.31\00:01:12.05
where you can
send those questions,
00:01:12.25\00:01:13.29
we are gonna
begin with some prayer.
00:01:13.49\00:01:14.74
So John, why don't
you do that for us today?
00:01:14.95\00:01:17.09
That's sounds good;
bow your heads with us.
00:01:17.32\00:01:18.84
Father in Heaven we
just thank you again

00:01:36.62\00:01:38.76
Housecalls@3abn.org
is where you send
00:01:39.74\00:01:44.77
your questions and we do
appreciate that very much.
00:01:44.97\00:01:46.90
We know that we have
talked about a number of things
00:01:47.12\00:01:50.50
in our last program
that housecalls@3abn.org
00:01:50.70\00:01:53.91
anywhere from this
planet, anywhere you are,
00:01:54.14\00:01:56.95
if you have a computer
you can send your questions.
00:01:57.16\00:01:59.13
For those of you
who send snail mail.
00:01:59.34\00:02:01.15
Most of you know, the
3ABN address, PO Box 220,
00:02:01.37\00:02:06.13
West. Frankfort, IL 62896.
00:02:06.33\00:02:08.52
You can send that if
you don't have a computer,
00:02:08.73\00:02:10.01
I was surprised how
many people I said e-mail me
00:02:10.22\00:02:12.61
and lot of people
said, I don't have a computer
00:02:12.82\00:02:14.44
and some people
said, well so let have your
00:02:14.66\00:02:17.40
daughter do it, my daughter
doesn't have a computer.
00:02:17.60\00:02:19.17
Well, do you have a
friend who has computer?
00:02:19.39\00:02:20.46
No, I don't have
anybody who has computer;
00:02:20.96\00:02:22.07
I don't mess with those things.
00:02:22.28\00:02:23.51
Send me mail, send me mail.
00:02:23.75\00:02:25.93
But John we have
some Bible questions
00:02:26.17\00:02:28.22
and we, we have a lot to cover.
00:02:28.45\00:02:29.75
We want to try to sow up
this topic today on health
00:02:29.96\00:02:32.87
and we are gonna get a
lot into the principles
00:02:33.07\00:02:35.39
that the Bible outlines,
00:02:35.62\00:02:37.02
so we won't just tell
you the dos and don'ts.
00:02:37.27\00:02:39.08
What's our question for today?
00:02:39.30\00:02:40.85
John we are, this first
question comes from a place
00:02:41.07\00:02:43.68
that you and I
both love very much.
00:02:43.90\00:02:45.99
You have been there
little more then I have,
00:02:46.22\00:02:47.61
Heaven, but the
Caribbean. Woe! Man a lot.
00:02:47.82\00:02:51.52
Marline is from
Barbados in the Caribbean,
00:02:51.75\00:02:54.83
and she has this question.
She says that the redeemed
00:02:55.06\00:02:57.92
are carp to me Jesus
in the air and shall spin
00:02:58.11\00:03:00.21
to thousand years
in heaven with him,
00:03:00.42\00:03:01.71
had everyone is to be judged.
00:03:01.93\00:03:03.99
I understand that those
who loose out on eternity
00:03:04.24\00:03:07.07
will be judged by the redeemed
00:03:07.29\00:03:08.26
at the end of
the thousand years.
00:03:08.37\00:03:09.78
Of course, we see that
in scripture, but where,
00:03:10.01\00:03:13.00
when are the redeemed judged?
00:03:13.21\00:03:15.18
And so, let's
take a look at that,
00:03:15.42\00:03:16.97
when do the redeemed judged?
00:03:17.19\00:03:18.23
Well, as you know, 3ABN
and this program advocates
00:03:18.45\00:03:23.25
very, very heavily and
strongly you hear often we use
00:03:23.50\00:03:27.25
the term The
Three Angels Messages.
00:03:27.45\00:03:29.28
The Three Angels Messages
are messages that are given
00:03:29.49\00:03:31.91
to this world at the end of time
00:03:32.11\00:03:33.98
just before Christ coming.
00:03:34.19\00:03:35.91
And they are urgent
messages, John aren't they?
00:03:36.13\00:03:38.98
That's right. Very
urgent messages, very urgent,
00:03:39.18\00:03:40.40
once that you
can just slough off,
00:03:40.60\00:03:42.04
you can't pretend
they didn't happen,
00:03:42.26\00:03:43.35
they are essential
for waking up this world
00:03:43.57\00:03:45.91
to the fact that
Jesus is coming soon. Amen.
00:03:46.13\00:03:48.05
And the very first
message is very keen
00:03:48.27\00:03:50.68
helping us
understand when the judgment
00:03:50.89\00:03:53.44
of the redeemed actually occurs?
00:03:53.64\00:03:55.56
And so turn with me
to Revelation chapter 14,
00:03:55.77\00:03:58.42
where we see the first message.
00:03:58.64\00:04:00.01
And I'm gonna read
beginning in verse 6,
00:04:00.23\00:04:03.18
"Then I saw another angel
flying in the midst of heaven."
00:04:03.41\00:04:07.55
Now, John first of all
before I go any further
00:04:07.77\00:04:09.79
what is an angel
represent? What is it?
00:04:10.00\00:04:11.39
A messenger, it's a messenger,
an angel is a messenger.
00:04:11.61\00:04:14.48
So, we know that this
angel is flying throughout
00:04:14.70\00:04:16.76
in the midst of
heaven has a message.
00:04:16.96\00:04:19.26
And it says that "He
has the everlasting gospel
00:04:19.48\00:04:23.21
to preach, there is a
message to those who dwell
00:04:23.41\00:04:25.92
on the face of the
earth to every nation,
00:04:26.14\00:04:28.68
tribe, tongue, and people,
saying with a loud voice,
00:04:28.89\00:04:31.88
fear God, and give glory to Him;
00:04:32.09\00:04:35.38
for the hour of
His judgment has come:
00:04:35.59\00:04:39.21
and worship Him who made
heaven, and earth, the sea,
00:04:39.43\00:04:43.28
and springs of
waters." The hour it says,
00:04:43.48\00:04:45.67
of his judgment
has come, has come.
00:04:45.88\00:04:48.21
So, it's arrived,
and this message is being
00:04:48.45\00:04:51.39
preached to everyone
prior to Jesus coming.
00:04:51.60\00:04:54.89
That's right. So,
now we know that judgment
00:04:55.12\00:04:57.47
does begin before Jesus comes.
00:04:57.68\00:04:59.52
Now, we also have
seen and we could find
00:04:59.75\00:05:01.77
a very clearly in
Revelation chapter 20,
00:05:01.98\00:05:04.47
that the wicked or
judged after that all occurs,
00:05:04.68\00:05:07.72
and after the thousand years.
00:05:07.94\00:05:09.39
So, we know they are,
has got to be two judgments.
00:05:09.62\00:05:11.61
There is another text
that separates those judgments
00:05:11.83\00:05:15.08
that we all are, faced
the judgment seed of Christ,
00:05:15.28\00:05:18.41
some come up to condemnation,
00:05:18.60\00:05:20.41
some come up to receive glory
00:05:20.63\00:05:22.97
and receive a
kingdom, the eternal life.
00:05:23.18\00:05:24.95
And, so those two
happen at different times.
00:05:25.17\00:05:27.87
We also see that
there are two resurrections,
00:05:28.09\00:05:29.88
look at
Revelation chapter 20 again.
00:05:30.10\00:05:31.66
We see the dead who
in Christ who raised;
00:05:31.87\00:05:34.70
raised first
also you find that in
00:05:34.91\00:05:37.41
First Thessalonians chapter
4, and then you also have
00:05:38.21\00:05:41.32
those who
experience a second death.
00:05:41.53\00:05:43.47
That means to
experience the second death
00:05:43.70\00:05:45.32
John you have to be
raised once to die again.
00:05:45.54\00:05:48.48
That's right. So,
there are two resurrections.
00:05:48.69\00:05:51.22
So, now let's
take a look at this.
00:05:51.43\00:05:53.04
Go to our next text, if
there are two judgments,
00:05:53.26\00:05:57.66
who gets judged
first? Who gets judged first?
00:05:57.86\00:06:00.99
Turn with me to
First Peter chapter 4,
00:06:01.20\00:06:04.52
first Peter chapter 4, I
knew you would call on that,
00:06:04.72\00:06:09.65
you wanna read it
for me? Sure, it says,
00:06:09.85\00:06:11.98
"For the time has
come for judgment to begin
00:06:12.21\00:06:18.86
at the house of God; and
if it begins with us first,
00:06:19.08\00:06:23.57
first, what will
be the end be of those
00:06:23.79\00:06:25.89
who do not obey
the gospel of God?
00:06:26.10\00:06:28.36
Now, if the righteous
one is scarcely saved,
00:06:28.58\00:06:31.95
where will the ungodly
and the sinner appear?"
00:06:32.15\00:06:35.29
Alright, so very
interesting here we see judgment
00:06:35.52\00:06:38.63
is to begin at the house
of God, and then it says,
00:06:38.82\00:06:42.16
and if it begins with us
first then what's to happen
00:06:42.36\00:06:45.54
to those who aren't
of the household of God.
00:06:45.73\00:06:48.05
Now, we know
what happens to them?
00:06:48.27\00:06:49.89
Revelation 20 tells us
that, so that's one text
00:06:50.11\00:06:52.80
that tell us the
judgment does begin,
00:06:53.01\00:06:54.49
we have already
seen that the judgment
00:06:54.71\00:06:56.71
has come prior to
Christ coming as well.
00:06:56.91\00:06:59.64
Now, one of the text
I'm gonna give you to get
00:06:59.85\00:07:01.69
some little more meet to
this is Revelation chapter 11,
00:07:01.90\00:07:05.73
and it's says in verse
1, "Then I was given a reed
00:07:05.95\00:07:10.29
like a measuring
rod and the angel stood,
00:07:10.50\00:07:12.62
saying, Rise, and
measure the temple of God,
00:07:12.84\00:07:15.14
the altar, and
those who worship there,
00:07:15.35\00:07:18.95
but leave out the court
which is outside the temple
00:07:19.17\00:07:22.83
and do not measure it, for
it has been given to, who?"
00:07:23.05\00:07:26.87
The gentiles, gentiles,
so, we see the judgment
00:07:27.08\00:07:30.24
there also occurs
the measurement of God;
00:07:30.45\00:07:32.25
God's people
those who worship him.
00:07:32.46\00:07:33.98
The standard,
that's right. That's right,
00:07:34.20\00:07:36.35
so we see clearly here
that there are, there are two
00:07:36.56\00:07:38.73
judgments that they
happen in different times
00:07:38.94\00:07:40.75
and the judgment of
the redeemed have to,
00:07:40.97\00:07:43.01
has to happen
prior to Christ coming.
00:07:43.21\00:07:45.21
We know that
because this is my last text
00:07:45.42\00:07:47.31
and I let you dive
right in here John.
00:07:47.51\00:07:48.84
Okay, Do you
want to say something?
00:07:49.05\00:07:50.02
You know, I'm, I'm just
hovering. Revelation 22,
00:07:50.07\00:07:51.46
you probably
already hovering there.
00:07:51.67\00:07:53.05
Revelation chapter 22,
verse 11, verse 11 and 12,
00:07:53.81\00:08:05.52
12 is the one and I'm
really, I really looking at.
00:08:05.72\00:08:07.61
The verse 11 says,
"He who is unjust let him
00:08:07.81\00:08:11.67
be unjust still:
he who is filthy,
00:08:11.87\00:08:13.42
let him be filthy
still: he who is righteous,
00:08:13.63\00:08:16.66
let him be righteous still:
00:08:16.85\00:08:17.83
he who is holy,
let him be holy still."
00:08:18.04\00:08:19.88
In other words, at
this point whatever state
00:08:20.08\00:08:22.25
you are in, whether you
are outside of the household
00:08:22.46\00:08:24.62
of God or inside, you
will remain in that state.
00:08:24.83\00:08:26.74
Verse 12, the great
dividing of time is to when
00:08:26.95\00:08:30.80
that happens especially the,
00:08:31.01\00:08:32.26
the redeemed finally
receive the reward it says,
00:08:32.48\00:08:34.88
"If Christ behold,
I am coming quickly,
00:08:35.08\00:08:37.09
and My reward is
what? With Me, with me,
00:08:37.30\00:08:40.56
"To give to everyone
according to his work."
00:08:40.80\00:08:43.66
So, therefore when Jesus comes,
00:08:43.90\00:08:45.73
he is bringing with him what?
00:08:45.94\00:08:46.93
His reward and if he is
bringing a reward with him
00:08:47.14\00:08:50.09
does he have to judge people
00:08:50.30\00:08:51.92
before that reward is given.
00:08:52.13\00:08:54.20
As to whether or
not they are redeemed
00:08:54.40\00:08:56.30
or they are lost. That's right.
00:08:56.50\00:08:58.06
And so knowing that
I, I can think of often
00:08:58.27\00:09:01.27
that my parents and I
don't ever recall a time John,
00:09:01.48\00:09:05.68
when my parents came
to me and said to me.
00:09:05.88\00:09:07.70
John we have this
wonderful gift for you.
00:09:07.92\00:09:10.93
Here is your reward and
then said, but you know what,
00:09:11.13\00:09:15.90
but we want you
to do this for it.
00:09:16.10\00:09:17.60
I never had my parents
give me my reward prior
00:09:17.80\00:09:21.48
to giving me my challenge
or my, my specific thing
00:09:21.69\00:09:25.69
that they wanted me to do.
00:09:25.88\00:09:27.26
And it always has
come afterwards John
00:09:27.49\00:09:29.20
you clean up
your house, your room,
00:09:29.42\00:09:30.86
John you make your
bed, John you study
00:09:31.09\00:09:33.41
you got an annual report card,
00:09:33.61\00:09:34.96
whatever it is,
here is your reward.
00:09:35.19\00:09:36.97
The reward comes after always,
00:09:37.18\00:09:39.46
and so Jesus is
coming to give his reward
00:09:39.67\00:09:41.45
to the redeemed that is because
00:09:41.67\00:09:43.54
the redeemed have been judged.
00:09:43.75\00:09:45.49
Now, John I know
there is a lot more to this,
00:09:45.71\00:09:47.65
we know that this all
ties into the prophecy
00:09:47.86\00:09:50.48
of the 2,300
years, the period of 1844,
00:09:50.68\00:09:54.22
where judgment begins, the
cleansing of the sanctuary,
00:09:54.43\00:09:56.78
I'm trying not to go
there because we don't have
00:09:56.98\00:09:58.89
enough time for that,
but I'm sure you have got
00:09:59.09\00:10:00.49
something's to add there
to this whole mix as well,
00:10:00.69\00:10:03.25
they help us
understand judgment.
00:10:03.44\00:10:04.61
Well, in Isaiah 58 verse
1. You know, the Bible talks
00:10:04.84\00:10:09.33
about the fact that the
people of God must be aware
00:10:09.54\00:10:11.86
that danger is coming,
there is a judgment coming.
00:10:12.06\00:10:16.40
Ecclesiastes
chapter 12, verse 13 and 14.
00:10:16.61\00:10:21.17
The Bible says, "Fear God
and keep his commandments:
00:10:21.37\00:10:25.22
for this is the
whole duty of man.
00:10:25.41\00:10:27.16
For God shall bring
every work into judgment,
00:10:27.39\00:10:30.10
with every secret thing,
00:10:30.30\00:10:31.79
whether it be good
or whether it be evil."
00:10:32.00\00:10:34.16
That's Ecclesiastes chapter
12 verse 13 and verse 14.
00:10:34.35\00:10:37.10
Remember, now the
creator in the days thy youth.
00:10:37.91\00:10:40.62
Once again in a
statement saying that the,
00:10:40.83\00:10:43.23
the Lord is encouraging
the young people to remember,
00:10:43.42\00:10:46.10
the creator,
while they are young
00:10:46.34\00:10:48.36
and that applies
not to just teenagers,
00:10:48.58\00:10:50.25
but the text actually
means remember the creator
00:10:50.48\00:10:52.87
before you get any older,
00:10:53.11\00:10:54.26
but when you think of Isaiah
58, the Bible says verse 1
00:10:54.50\00:10:57.97
"A lift up thy voice like
a trumpet, and show my people
00:10:58.18\00:11:02.52
their transgressions, and
the house of Jacob their sins.
00:11:02.71\00:11:05.74
The reason, why the language
is used lift up thy voice
00:11:05.96\00:11:08.75
like a trumpet, lift up
your voice like a trumpet,
00:11:08.96\00:11:11.45
is before the Day of Judgment
in the economy of Israel.
00:11:11.71\00:11:15.41
The trumpet was
blown ten days before
00:11:15.62\00:11:18.60
the Day of Atonement
services were all over.
00:11:18.81\00:11:21.32
And they knew that,
when the atonement services
00:11:21.54\00:11:23.75
came and past, all those
who sins were not atoned for.
00:11:23.96\00:11:28.13
We are now in, in
condemnation, they were not
00:11:28.35\00:11:32.86
in reward as John use
the comparison, condemnation,
00:11:33.06\00:11:36.27
and they were not
looking for any good reward,
00:11:36.47\00:11:38.70
they were banished from
the camp of the Israelites
00:11:38.91\00:11:40.95
as they celebrated
the Feast of tabernacles,
00:11:41.18\00:11:44.95
they celebrated for seven
days this wonderful riddance
00:11:45.17\00:11:49.44
of their sins, the
blotting out of all their sins.
00:11:49.62\00:11:51.70
And so in, in short the
saints are looking forward
00:11:51.91\00:11:56.18
to being in heaven celebrating
00:11:56.39\00:11:58.21
the removal of sin forever.
00:11:58.43\00:12:00.89
The blotting out
of their sin and Peter
00:12:01.10\00:12:03.87
on the day of
Pentecost, he says, repent
00:12:04.09\00:12:05.34
and be converted that
your sins maybe blotted out.
00:12:05.55\00:12:08.20
When the time
of refreshing comes
00:12:08.42\00:12:10.28
from the presence of the Lord.
00:12:10.49\00:12:11.51
So, the saints
are in judgment now.
00:12:11.73\00:12:15.23
Now, here is the
reason why? Somebody may say,
00:12:15.44\00:12:18.39
well if you are saint,
why be in judgment because
00:12:18.59\00:12:20.78
your profession in other
words what you profess to be,
00:12:20.99\00:12:24.31
and what you actually
are, is what the issue is?
00:12:24.53\00:12:27.99
Some people say I'm
Christian but people don't know
00:12:28.20\00:12:31.16
that in their lives
outside of the visible life
00:12:31.36\00:12:34.02
they live, that they are
not living Christian lives.
00:12:34.23\00:12:36.59
So, the Lord is saying,
I'm going to examine your life,
00:12:36.80\00:12:39.51
so that when you
are saved those who know
00:12:39.72\00:12:43.25
that you are saved, we
will see that your life
00:12:43.44\00:12:45.15
in private measured up
with your life in public,
00:12:45.36\00:12:48.89
but there those who
are Christians in public
00:12:49.10\00:12:51.70
that are anything,
but Christians in private.
00:12:51.93\00:12:54.29
And so the reason
why the judgment begins
00:12:54.50\00:12:56.40
at God's house
00:12:56.61\00:12:58.36
is our profession
must match our works,
00:12:58.58\00:13:04.64
not the other way around.
00:13:04.85\00:13:06.68
Our profession and our
works must mess together.
00:13:06.91\00:13:09.37
So, God the reason why
we are judged is God says,
00:13:09.57\00:13:13.24
I know you say
you are Christians,
00:13:13.44\00:13:15.13
but the world needs to
know what you really are.
00:13:15.36\00:13:18.45
And so when we are saved
00:13:18.66\00:13:20.70
and we are sealed as
Revelation 22:11 says,
00:13:20.95\00:13:24.16
"If you are unjust, you
see that where you are filthy,
00:13:24.36\00:13:26.36
you stay there
with your righteous,
00:13:26.57\00:13:27.54
you stay there with
your holy, you stay that way.
00:13:27.62\00:13:29.18
When we are sealed
there is no more judgment,
00:13:29.40\00:13:31.74
so the word
judgment has a number of,
00:13:31.94\00:13:33.93
of actual applications.
One is investigation
00:13:34.14\00:13:37.77
a record scene,
every acquisition,
00:13:37.97\00:13:39.95
there is an
investigation all the evidence
00:13:40.15\00:13:42.11
is need to be produced,
where are the evidences is in
00:13:42.32\00:13:44.44
this case being produced
from the works in our lives.
00:13:44.64\00:13:48.23
Faith without works is dead.
00:13:48.46\00:13:50.75
So, our works must
measure up with our profession.
00:13:50.96\00:13:54.74
That' right, so the things
that are been written down
00:13:54.94\00:13:56.76
by the angels in the
book. The Book of Life,
00:13:56.98\00:13:58.99
if there is a Book
of Life there is also
00:13:59.21\00:14:01.20
a book of death, there
is a book of remembrance.
00:14:01.40\00:14:03.22
So, the Bible
eludes the Book of Death,
00:14:03.44\00:14:06.66
but we know that if
you are not written in the
00:14:06.86\00:14:08.12
Book of Life then you
are not gonna be saved,
00:14:08.32\00:14:10.16
if your name is not
written there as the song writer
00:14:10.40\00:14:12.72
says, you won't be in
the kingdom, but so your,
00:14:12.91\00:14:16.92
your works are being
written there, but now
00:14:17.72\00:14:19.53
what is the blotting out
have to do with anything?
00:14:19.73\00:14:21.50
All the things
you have done wrong,
00:14:21.71\00:14:23.94
there is a clear
record taken of that,
00:14:24.15\00:14:26.71
the Bible says, by
your words shall you be
00:14:26.93\00:14:29.11
justified by your
words, shall you be condemn,
00:14:29.32\00:14:32.04
but notice, there is an
investigation before there
00:14:32.25\00:14:35.10
is condemnation, here is
the beauty of thou friends.
00:14:35.33\00:14:38.30
John 3:17, "For God sent
not his Son into the world
00:14:38.51\00:14:43.87
to condemn the world, but
that the world through him
00:14:44.08\00:14:46.82
might be saved." So,
Jesus was sent, not to condemn
00:14:47.02\00:14:49.31
John or I, but he was
sent to all for salvation.
00:14:49.51\00:14:52.19
Were we lost before
Jesus, we were already lost,
00:14:52.41\00:14:56.87
he didn't come to
say to us, you lost,
00:14:57.08\00:14:58.70
and you are gonna say that way,
00:14:58.93\00:15:00.62
he came to say it
was because you are lost,
00:15:00.83\00:15:02.88
I'm offering you different way.
00:15:03.10\00:15:04.38
Yeah, in the fact
he goes on to say,
00:15:04.60\00:15:05.80
this is the condemnation.
And what is the way,
00:15:06.01\00:15:08.91
the reason that
they are condemned?
00:15:09.11\00:15:10.36
Because they love
darkness rather than light.
00:15:10.56\00:15:12.11
They love darkness
rather than light that means
00:15:12.32\00:15:13.78
that they actually
chose themselves as to whether
00:15:13.99\00:15:16.38
or not they are
lost or they are saved.
00:15:16.59\00:15:18.02
So, Jesus
wasn't condemning them.
00:15:18.23\00:15:19.48
You know, I like the
picture that you paint
00:15:19.69\00:15:20.89
there in fact; Matthew 22
paints also another picture.
00:15:21.09\00:15:24.23
Okay, of the judgment
seen, which is he conscious
00:15:24.42\00:15:26.73
here in, in a
parable of a wedding hall
00:15:26.94\00:15:29.43
that's filled
with with guests. Okay
00:15:29.63\00:15:31.05
Chapter 22 and it
begins around verse 1.
00:15:31.29\00:15:33.64
I'm not gonna read
the whole thing here,
00:15:33.84\00:15:34.81
I'm gonna tell you the story.
00:15:35.04\00:15:36.01
The several
invitations go out to people
00:15:37.81\00:15:38.78
to come to the wedding.
Finally, the third invitation
00:15:38.79\00:15:40.78
comes out because the
other first invitations
00:15:41.00\00:15:42.73
were not really
received very well.
00:15:42.96\00:15:44.61
In fact, what
happened was is they basically,
00:15:44.83\00:15:46.91
we are not interested,
we are doing another things
00:15:47.12\00:15:48.97
that cares of this
life. They were more concerned
00:15:49.18\00:15:51.55
about then joining
and following Christ,
00:15:51.76\00:15:53.92
but here we have in the
third call, verse 9 it says,
00:15:54.14\00:15:58.37
therefore, and
this is the king saying,
00:15:58.58\00:16:01.75
"Go ye into the highways,
and as many as you find,
00:16:01.96\00:16:03.87
invite to the wedding.
So, the servants went out
00:16:04.10\00:16:05.92
into the highways,
and gathered together
00:16:06.13\00:16:07.27
all whom they found,
both what? Bad and good:
00:16:07.48\00:16:12.15
and the wedding hall
was filled with guests.
00:16:12.36\00:16:15.91
In other words, in the
wedding hall, in attendance
00:16:16.11\00:16:18.54
are the wheat and the
tares, the bad and the good.
00:16:18.75\00:16:22.23
They have all profess
Christ because the only way
00:16:22.44\00:16:24.39
you get into the
wedding is to believe.
00:16:24.58\00:16:26.28
And I say that because if
you have look at the parable
00:16:26.49\00:16:29.62
of the ten versions, it
says, those that were ready
00:16:29.81\00:16:31.53
went in with in
him to the wedding.
00:16:31.75\00:16:33.09
You can't get in unless
you profess faith in Christ.
00:16:33.32\00:16:36.77
That's right. So, now
this wedding hall is filled
00:16:36.98\00:16:39.28
with guests, but some
are bad and some are good.
00:16:39.49\00:16:41.58
Yes, they all have been,
have been the consciousness
00:16:41.80\00:16:44.73
have been pricked
by the Holy Spirit,
00:16:44.94\00:16:46.42
and they have,
they accept the Christ,
00:16:46.63\00:16:47.78
but now let's see if
their fruits still bears way,
00:16:48.00\00:16:50.84
and that's what you
are saying John profession
00:16:51.05\00:16:52.45
is one thing, but
what are their works?
00:16:52.67\00:16:55.15
Then it's says in verse
11 in Matthew, Matthew 22,
00:16:55.37\00:16:58.29
"When the king came into
see or inspect the guests,
00:16:58.50\00:17:02.73
he saw a man there who
did not have on a wedding
00:17:02.93\00:17:05.97
garmet. So, we have
said to him, Friend,
00:17:06.17\00:17:08.89
how did you come in here
without a wedding garment?
00:17:09.11\00:17:11.36
And his friend was
speechless and then he says,
00:17:11.58\00:17:15.34
bind his hand and foot and
cast him in outer darkness.
00:17:15.55\00:17:18.14
Now, I believe John
when he was speechless,
00:17:18.17\00:17:21.49
he looked down because
he had a wedding garment in,
00:17:21.71\00:17:24.62
see what's the only way
to get into the wedding?
00:17:24.84\00:17:26.09
Is for Christ to
put a garment on you.
00:17:26.30\00:17:29.27
So, when he said,
friend how did you get in here
00:17:29.49\00:17:31.57
without a wedding garment?
00:17:31.79\00:17:32.86
The friend looked down
and said, Oh! I had one on,
00:17:33.09\00:17:35.00
he is thinking what?
And he was speechless
00:17:35.22\00:17:38.38
because he expected to
find it, but he did not find it.
00:17:38.60\00:17:42.06
Now, what happen to him?
Well, judgment per se had
00:17:42.28\00:17:46.87
been rendered and he was
cast out to outer darkness.
00:17:47.07\00:17:49.46
So, what we see
here is this wedding hall
00:17:49.67\00:17:52.08
filled with guests,
every time a believer professes
00:17:52.29\00:17:55.21
faith in Jesus Christ and
accepts him as their savior,
00:17:55.43\00:17:58.48
they enter that wedding
hall and they become a guest
00:17:58.69\00:18:01.66
at the wedding that
is ongoing right now
00:18:01.87\00:18:03.76
in the heavens above,
isn't that a beautiful picture?
00:18:03.98\00:18:06.59
It is, and you know,
what's the wonderful about
00:18:06.80\00:18:08.36
that is that, we are
invited, we are invited in,
00:18:08.56\00:18:11.59
but staying in is the
real issue. So, this once saved
00:18:11.80\00:18:17.32
always saved idea is
bunked by that very verse.
00:18:17.57\00:18:21.96
Because they were in
there, but those who were
00:18:22.17\00:18:24.04
in the wedding
hall, where good and bad
00:18:24.24\00:18:27.34
they have responded to
the call like many people
00:18:27.57\00:18:30.43
responded to call,
they come to the church.
00:18:30.63\00:18:32.48
And they were given a garment.
00:18:32.69\00:18:33.66
But here is
where the problem was,
00:18:33.78\00:18:35.03
look at verse 15 of
Revelation chapter 16.
00:18:35.25\00:18:38.16
"Behold, I am coming as a thief.
00:18:38.39\00:18:41.51
Blessed is he who
watches, and keeps his garment,
00:18:41.73\00:18:46.04
that's the point,
you just made John.
00:18:46.24\00:18:47.48
That's right. He
had on the garment,
00:18:47.70\00:18:48.67
but he didn't keep
it, keeps his garment,
00:18:48.87\00:18:51.13
lest he walk naked,
and they see his shame.
00:18:51.35\00:18:55.85
The reason why he
didn't have a thing to say,
00:18:56.07\00:18:58.55
he looked down and
he saw his shame. Yeah.
00:18:58.75\00:19:01.94
And they said you can't
go into the wedding feast.
00:19:01.97\00:19:05.25
Right, which is the
reception hall for all those
00:19:05.47\00:19:08.70
who have been married
to Christ in his kingdom.
00:19:08.91\00:19:10.87
That's right, spoke wonderful.
00:19:11.08\00:19:12.67
Amen beautiful picture.
00:19:12.89\00:19:13.86
You know, we spend all
the time on this particular
00:19:13.87\00:19:15.38
question because this
is a serious issue about
00:19:15.59\00:19:17.12
judgment about being
saved, about being lost.
00:19:17.32\00:19:19.38
The beauty of this
friends is John 3:17,
00:19:19.58\00:19:21.60
God didn't sent
Jesus Christ to condemn us,
00:19:21.81\00:19:24.17
but that we might be
saved. Condemnation comes
00:19:24.36\00:19:26.66
because the light comes
and we were rather the darkness
00:19:26.88\00:19:29.72
than the light. I pray
that you make a decision
00:19:29.92\00:19:31.92
to accept the light.
And the light sometimes
00:19:32.12\00:19:34.97
is bright, but we don't
wanna burn you with the light
00:19:35.19\00:19:38.21
that we have been sharing.
00:19:38.46\00:19:39.56
We want that light that
comes from the word of God
00:19:39.80\00:19:41.86
to guide you. His
word is a lamp to our feet
00:19:42.08\00:19:44.59
and a light to our path.
00:19:44.81\00:19:46.23
Anymore questions on the
topic or any other questions
00:19:46.45\00:19:48.30
send those to
Housecalls@3abn.Org
00:19:48.51\00:19:51.06
that's Housecalls@3abn.org.
00:19:51.26\00:19:54.59
We are gonna dive
into our topic today,
00:19:54.81\00:19:56.02
John because we are
gonna wind it up today.
00:19:56.23\00:19:57.44
There are lot of things
that we are gonna talk about,
00:19:57.67\00:19:59.11
we ended, I think, how
do we end our last program?
00:19:59.34\00:20:03.26
Well, we, we were
talking about you know,
00:20:03.48\00:20:05.87
through the last program
we talked about wine and,
00:20:06.09\00:20:07.75
and alcohol and so forth.
We talked little bit about
00:20:07.78\00:20:10.15
foods clean and
unclean, cigarettes,
00:20:10.39\00:20:12.59
and then, yeah, and cigarettes,
00:20:12.83\00:20:13.87
and then we got to the
main point of the whole thing,
00:20:13.90\00:20:16.11
which is giving
glory to God in our bodies.
00:20:16.32\00:20:17.93
And so now I think we
are gonna kind a transition
00:20:18.74\00:20:20.24
to a conclusion of
that, which is how do we give
00:20:20.46\00:20:22.62
glory to God in
our bodies. Good idea.
00:20:22.83\00:20:24.58
And one of those
things is the subject
00:20:24.81\00:20:25.85
of obedience itself.
We give glory because
00:20:25.88\00:20:28.73
we respond to God's word
and what God's word tells us.
00:20:28.94\00:20:31.86
Okay. And so you
know, many will say,
00:20:32.08\00:20:34.15
well these
things aren't important.
00:20:34.37\00:20:35.56
We can see them in God's
word, but you know, I really
00:20:35.78\00:20:37.30
don't think that God
would judge me in those matters.
00:20:37.52\00:20:39.94
Well we know
judgment is beginning now like
00:20:40.17\00:20:42.87
we talked about. And
our books are opened,
00:20:43.09\00:20:45.60
what's that phrase, I
can read you like a, book,
00:20:45.82\00:20:49.69
open book, if our books
are open then shouldn't we
00:20:49.91\00:20:53.91
then have that book
the testimony of praise
00:20:54.12\00:20:56.41
to our Father and
Jesus Christ, absolutely.
00:20:56.63\00:20:59.73
And so we do that in
our lifestyle and so yes
00:20:59.95\00:21:03.06
we talked about
alcohol, we talked about clean
00:21:03.27\00:21:04.58
and unclean foods, but
there are some other things
00:21:04.80\00:21:07.20
you know one of the things
that jumps out of me here,
00:21:07.41\00:21:09.19
John is that. You
know, what we allow our eyes
00:21:09.43\00:21:11.57
to take in. You know, I
know we are talking about
00:21:11.81\00:21:14.84
diet and so forth, but
just let's touch briefly because
00:21:15.05\00:21:17.35
we are talking about giving
glory to God in our bodies.
00:21:17.55\00:21:19.44
And, and Paul
says, that when we,
00:21:19.65\00:21:21.56
when we engage
in sexual immorality
00:21:21.59\00:21:23.94
We actually sin
against our own body.
00:21:24.15\00:21:25.81
That's a very, very good point.
00:21:26.04\00:21:28.32
And the impact is that
what we taking to our eyes,
00:21:28.54\00:21:31.15
affects also
physically even our body.
00:21:31.38\00:21:35.41
And so, how should we
conduct ourselves in areas
00:21:35.65\00:21:38.92
of being you know,
clean. And being and looking
00:21:39.16\00:21:43.02
at pure things and so forth.
00:21:43.22\00:21:44.41
Of course, we read
in, in Philippians.
00:21:44.64\00:21:46.71
Whatsoever things are.
Oh! Philippians 4:8. 4:8
00:21:46.94\00:21:51.17
and whatsoever
things are lovely, lovely.
00:21:51.38\00:21:53.18
I can't recite
them exactly by heart,
00:21:53.40\00:21:54.86
whatsoever things are lovely,
00:21:55.08\00:21:56.33
whatsoever things are pure,
00:21:56.55\00:21:57.64
whatsoever things are honest,
00:21:57.88\00:21:59.04
whatsoever things are
just, if there will be anything
00:21:59.26\00:22:02.20
good and
anything worthy of praise,
00:22:02.40\00:22:04.47
think on these
things. Yes. So, an essence,
00:22:04.68\00:22:06.90
notice what he said,
think on these things.
00:22:07.11\00:22:09.11
In other words, what
goes into the man's mind,
00:22:09.34\00:22:11.45
into the woman's mind,
the boys mind; the girls mind
00:22:11.66\00:22:14.18
will become the
subject of their thoughts?
00:22:14.21\00:22:16.17
And you know,
Satan is in, what I call
00:22:16.38\00:22:19.29
the subliminal war of
trying to setup a theatre
00:22:19.49\00:22:24.87
in our minds. He is
trying to put the video tape
00:22:25.09\00:22:27.81
and that he wants to play
over and over and over again.
00:22:28.02\00:22:30.63
And he does it subliminally
through advertising,
00:22:30.83\00:22:33.47
through phrases
that people may throw out
00:22:33.68\00:22:35.78
in a joking setting,
that will plant a seed
00:22:36.00\00:22:39.06
that will germinate, if
our minds are not guarded.
00:22:39.28\00:22:41.48
Yeah. And else way
by the word of God.
00:22:41.69\00:22:43.68
You know, and I'm
trying to tie the sin here,
00:22:43.89\00:22:45.68
you know, to
the subject of diet,
00:22:45.91\00:22:47.03
which is what we are
talking about because
00:22:47.25\00:22:49.39
we are not just talking
about sexual immorality.
00:22:49.65\00:22:52.12
We are talking about
the impact that the things
00:22:52.33\00:22:54.77
around us has on even
our diet. So, I'm amazed John
00:22:54.97\00:22:58.95
outside to appear
for a minute or back up.
00:22:59.16\00:23:01.42
I'm amazed how one
side of Hollywood can say
00:23:01.65\00:23:05.69
that videos that kids playing
stuff really doesn't have
00:23:05.90\00:23:09.50
any impact on, you
know, shooting their friends
00:23:09.69\00:23:11.78
or shooting their teachers,
and doing all the stuff.
00:23:12.00\00:23:13.84
You know, that's just
something that they do it,
00:23:14.05\00:23:15.72
doesn't, they
don't have to do that,
00:23:15.96\00:23:17.21
they doesn't make
them respond in that way,
00:23:17.42\00:23:20.41
but my simple
question for Hollywood is,
00:23:20.62\00:23:24.52
then what are commercials for?
00:23:24.74\00:23:26.61
If what you see doesn't
cause a behavioral response,
00:23:26.85\00:23:31.95
what are commercials for?
00:23:32.17\00:23:34.74
There is no
reason for commercials,
00:23:34.97\00:23:38.02
if this not gonna cause
you to go buy their product.
00:23:38.24\00:23:41.39
Right. So, get rid
off commercials Hollywood,
00:23:41.62\00:23:44.25
it doesn't make you do anything.
00:23:44.46\00:23:45.70
You know, how much
millions as you may know,
00:23:45.92\00:23:48.30
millions and millions
of dollars of research
00:23:48.51\00:23:52.00
going to
commercials because 15 seconds,
00:23:52.23\00:23:54.64
20 seconds of
minute, a minute is a long,
00:23:54.84\00:23:57.28
long eternity for commercial.
00:23:57.52\00:23:59.62
Yet that timeframe is
given, short span of blurb,
00:23:59.83\00:24:03.97
you know, like
the geico commercial.
00:24:04.18\00:24:05.87
It's just I'm not
giving any notice to any,
00:24:06.08\00:24:09.77
just stressing your
brain. If you state because,
00:24:09.97\00:24:11.48
it's the dumb as commercial.
00:24:11.69\00:24:12.89
Ice applied
directly to the forehead,
00:24:13.11\00:24:14.92
apply directly to the forehead,
00:24:15.14\00:24:16.11
apply directly to the forehead,
00:24:16.21\00:24:17.18
I mean, how did you
forget that? Yeah. You know,
00:24:17.33\00:24:21.58
and, and so the
commercials do their jobs,
00:24:21.80\00:24:24.52
but Satan is behind lot of
these things that he puts on
00:24:24.73\00:24:27.84
he puts on
television to get our minds
00:24:28.06\00:24:31.10
to think in a certain way.
00:24:31.31\00:24:32.28
This is a very
interesting statistics
00:24:32.44\00:24:34.58
and you mentioned
videogames and I thought
00:24:34.80\00:24:36.11
that was very
pretty interesting.
00:24:36.31\00:24:37.28
They try to side, why
there are so much violence
00:24:37.29\00:24:39.65
in America, and a
national pole pointed out that
00:24:40.50\00:24:43.02
because we have many
violent videogames in America,
00:24:43.22\00:24:45.91
but somebody said well
now if we follow that train
00:24:46.12\00:24:48.89
of thought, let's go ahead
and apply that to the world.
00:24:49.08\00:24:51.95
And they said,
while you go to Japan,
00:24:52.16\00:24:54.31
where violence
is a very, very low
00:24:54.52\00:24:57.04
and they have
tons of more videogames
00:24:57.25\00:24:59.84
with violent content then we do,
00:25:00.05\00:25:01.58
so what happened here
that didn't happen there?
00:25:01.79\00:25:05.27
And they came to narrow
it down with this reality.
00:25:05.47\00:25:07.96
Out of all the countries
that are, that are modernized
00:25:08.17\00:25:10.84
and that have all the
effect of the videogames,
00:25:11.06\00:25:12.97
whatever the culture
that is, they said, one thing
00:25:13.21\00:25:15.74
that is true here that is
not true in all those other
00:25:15.93\00:25:17.45
countries is the United
States is the number one
00:25:17.67\00:25:20.31
exporting country of,
of firearms in the world.
00:25:20.50\00:25:23.90
If so the very
thing that we try to,
00:25:24.13\00:25:26.69
try to keep off the
streets, is the very thing
00:25:26.91\00:25:29.50
that we are the
heaviest market reserve
00:25:29.72\00:25:31.13
and not saying
that you can't have them
00:25:31.35\00:25:33.98
and we know guns
don't kill people,
00:25:34.19\00:25:35.69
but what happens is our society.
00:25:35.91\00:25:37.68
So, conditions itself,
and is so available and where
00:25:37.91\00:25:41.20
I'm going with this is
the thing that we make most
00:25:41.42\00:25:43.34
available to us, if our
minds are not available to God,
00:25:43.55\00:25:46.51
those things become
a bad and not a good.
00:25:46.69\00:25:49.48
Yeah, you know, and the
other thing too is that,
00:25:49.69\00:25:51.31
we may not have seen
the true fruit of this yet.
00:25:51.56\00:25:53.67
Oh! Not yet, this
is just beginning,
00:25:53.90\00:25:55.62
I see that because
sometimes it takes a while
00:25:55.86\00:25:58.49
to bears it's fruit.
There are some also some studies
00:25:58.70\00:26:02.36
that show that even in
America, where these violent
00:26:02.55\00:26:05.74
videos are that we
aren't see an increase,
00:26:05.94\00:26:08.67
we actually see
decrease in, in violent,
00:26:08.87\00:26:11.78
you know cases of,
of murder or a crime.
00:26:11.99\00:26:15.34
And so then in the
case, I'm wondering okay,
00:26:15.56\00:26:17.96
there is no correlation
at all, but one of the things
00:26:18.19\00:26:20.95
that I know that Satan
does that he is very subtle.
00:26:21.15\00:26:23.09
He is very
deceptive, you know, if it was,
00:26:23.31\00:26:25.63
if it was a blatant all of
this in turn on this picket,
00:26:25.85\00:26:27.75
lots of violence with
these videos, what will we do,
00:26:27.96\00:26:30.36
get rid of the videos?
00:26:30.57\00:26:31.56
But he wants to ease
us end of these things.
00:26:31.79\00:26:33.78
And so Jesus came, when he came
00:26:34.01\00:26:36.49
and he was
talking to his disciples,
00:26:36.70\00:26:38.34
the followers initially
in the Sermon on the Mount.
00:26:38.56\00:26:40.70
He didn't lower
the bar on his turn,
00:26:40.90\00:26:43.25
he raised the bar
and what do they say
00:26:43.46\00:26:44.85
in regard to murder,
in regard to stealing,
00:26:45.06\00:26:48.64
regard to those
things. He says if you think
00:26:48.86\00:26:52.19
evil in your heart,
then you actually committed
00:26:52.41\00:26:56.16
that evil in real life.
And I'm only paraphrasing
00:26:56.36\00:26:58.36
because he says that on
a spectrum it's very large.
00:26:58.56\00:27:00.71
Right. Hatred, stealing,
all those things, adultery,
00:27:00.93\00:27:05.32
we see these things and
we think well just because
00:27:05.52\00:27:08.00
we sought we
didn't really do it,
00:27:08.19\00:27:10.52
but what is Jesus saying
that in heaven as recorded
00:27:10.73\00:27:13.29
the act, as if we
have done it because
00:27:13.50\00:27:16.79
those things have
come into our minds.
00:27:17.02\00:27:18.63
And so, should we be
so deceived that we think
00:27:18.85\00:27:21.30
that just because
we are playing a video
00:27:21.49\00:27:23.04
or doing another things
and letting things in it,
00:27:23.23\00:27:24.51
we are not
actually doing these things.
00:27:24.72\00:27:25.90
That somehow is
not causing us harm,
00:27:26.13\00:27:28.20
it's causing us harm, I
just don't think we have seen
00:27:28.44\00:27:30.92
the fruit of
that fully yet. Right,
00:27:31.13\00:27:32.83
it's growing slowly,
it's coming to fruition.
00:27:33.04\00:27:35.96
Yes. And that's why I
said the fruit of that,
00:27:36.16\00:27:38.14
we see the, we know
the roots are there,
00:27:38.34\00:27:41.08
we see the tree
growing up but we haven't seen
00:27:41.28\00:27:43.19
the fruits yet. And
unfortunately, if the tree
00:27:43.39\00:27:46.21
is cancerous, if the
tree is, is, is infested
00:27:46.43\00:27:49.26
the fruits are
going to be infested.
00:27:49.45\00:27:50.60
So, you can't get up
good thing out of a bad thing.
00:27:50.82\00:27:54.98
The Lord says, bad trees
cannot bring forth good fruit
00:27:55.17\00:27:58.67
and good trees can't
bring forth bad fruit.
00:27:58.86\00:28:00.92
Now, the Lord can find
bad people or good people
00:28:01.16\00:28:04.31
in bad cities or
cause us to be changed,
00:28:04.52\00:28:07.98
but when it comes to
fruit, the tree produces the
00:28:08.19\00:28:11.25
the fruit, if it's good,
good fruit bad, bad fruit.
00:28:11.45\00:28:14.30
That's right, you
know, it' just in Roman 6:16,
00:28:14.51\00:28:17.79
we can go to text
here. Sure. And kind a stay
00:28:18.00\00:28:20.64
in line with our outline,
but it says do you not know
00:28:20.84\00:28:23.72
that to whom you present
yourselves slaves to obey.
00:28:23.93\00:28:27.88
You are that one
slaves whom you obey?
00:28:28.09\00:28:30.68
Where there sin leading to death
00:28:30.90\00:28:32.89
or obedience
leading to righteousness.
00:28:33.10\00:28:35.77
So, when you yield
just like going over,
00:28:35.99\00:28:38.69
just like going
over sliding board,
00:28:38.90\00:28:40.83
have your ever been
to those water parks,
00:28:41.00\00:28:42.55
where they have these
big sliding boards John.
00:28:42.74\00:28:44.31
I mean you are so
tall, lots of fun,
00:28:44.52\00:28:45.49
you are like a human
sliding board yourself. 6:10,
00:28:45.54\00:28:48.99
he doesn't look
that, but he is 6'10".
00:28:49.21\00:28:51.99
Actually, I'm about a
half inch shy of that, 6-91/2
00:28:52.22\00:28:55.91
but you never
see him barefooted,
00:28:56.11\00:28:58.13
6'10", but people always see me
00:28:58.34\00:29:01.96
and they say man you are tall,
00:29:02.15\00:29:03.12
I said, you haven't seen height,
00:29:03.25\00:29:04.65
you got to see my
friend John Stanton,
00:29:04.87\00:29:06.13
he is tall. I
looked short around him,
00:29:06.35\00:29:08.56
but my point is,
sinners like a sliding board,
00:29:08.78\00:29:11.29
those are very
deep sliding boards.
00:29:11.49\00:29:13.71
You know, the, the,
the water is constantly
00:29:13.92\00:29:16.08
running to keep it lubricated.
00:29:16.30\00:29:17.76
And I, I never
forget going to one of those
00:29:17.99\00:29:20.47
water parks, when I
lived in Orlando, Florida
00:29:20.67\00:29:22.93
and laying flat, you
lay flat and you put your
00:29:23.13\00:29:25.18
arm across, hands
across your chest,
00:29:25.37\00:29:27.02
and the guys
holding onto this mat,
00:29:27.24\00:29:29.38
and he says, are you
ready? And before you say, yes,
00:29:29.60\00:29:32.60
he lets you go, and you
think, I didn't say yes, yes.
00:29:32.85\00:29:37.01
There is no
turning back. That's right.
00:29:37.21\00:29:38.51
It's a downhill slide,
sin is often like that,
00:29:38.73\00:29:41.44
and you gain speed
on you way down too,
00:29:41.66\00:29:43.24
you don't lose speed at first.
00:29:43.43\00:29:44.97
You go down fast, now
follow the analogy here
00:29:45.19\00:29:47.65
because this has a,
this has a point to it,
00:29:47.84\00:29:49.40
we often think of sin
has something that takes us
00:29:49.60\00:29:51.84
higher and higher
and higher and higher,
00:29:52.04\00:29:56.03
but when you are at
the apex of your sin
00:29:56.27\00:29:58.32
you go down real
fast. And so friends
00:29:58.55\00:30:01.65
that's how sin is
just like a sliding board
00:30:01.86\00:30:03.63
that's constantly
lubricated by temptation
00:30:03.83\00:30:06.23
and the devil says, are
you ready before you even give
00:30:06.44\00:30:11.21
any acknowledgment
you are going downhill
00:30:11.40\00:30:14.50
and you are going down fast.
00:30:14.70\00:30:15.76
So try to avoid the
things that will cause us that,
00:30:15.98\00:30:19.14
here is the key that can
cause you to go downhill.
00:30:19.35\00:30:22.44
People discuss, some
people will say it won't
00:30:22.73\00:30:25.08
cause me to go downhill,
but if you can avoid it.
00:30:25.27\00:30:28.02
And this isn't the principle
of the whole thing anyway.
00:30:28.22\00:30:29.99
You are slaves
to one to the other.
00:30:30.20\00:30:31.99
You know, there is no
middle ground we can't say
00:30:32.20\00:30:33.47
you know, what I'm
just gonna be my own person,
00:30:33.67\00:30:35.63
I'm not gonna be
slave to anybody.
00:30:35.84\00:30:36.97
I am sorry you
are slave to Christ
00:30:37.20\00:30:39.40
or you are slave to the enemy.
00:30:39.62\00:30:41.10
And so we've got to choose
00:30:41.32\00:30:42.63
and it's how we
conduct our lives, John.
00:30:42.91\00:30:45.80
In diet, in all these
things we're talking about,
00:30:46.02\00:30:49.72
all the lifestyle issues
that determine whose slave
00:30:49.93\00:30:51.93
we are, that's what
Roman 6:16 is saying.
00:30:52.13\00:30:55.03
Go head, go ahead, now.
00:30:55.23\00:30:57.55
But listen to this and
I want to make this point
00:30:57.76\00:30:59.48
now I am saying this,
I am saying praise God.
00:30:59.68\00:31:02.07
I haven't had a cold;
that is cold in years.
00:31:02.27\00:31:04.93
Now why shouldn't I get a cold?
00:31:05.15\00:31:06.22
I haven't had a cold in
years, but one of the reasons
00:31:06.44\00:31:08.40
why is because
whenever my wife and I
00:31:08.62\00:31:11.00
are in any place and
we are shaking hands,
00:31:11.20\00:31:12.37
we wash our hands frequently.
00:31:12.59\00:31:15.23
And you don't touch your
face after you doing that?
00:31:15.44\00:31:17.17
We don't touch our
face, put our fingers
00:31:17.38\00:31:18.62
in our mouths, you
know, when you are in crowds
00:31:18.83\00:31:20.50
people do that they
tend to touch surfaces
00:31:20.71\00:31:22.16
and put their hands in
their mouth before they eat
00:31:22.38\00:31:24.07
food or eat their food
without washing their hands
00:31:24.27\00:31:26.24
or some people sadly
enough to use the rest room
00:31:26.46\00:31:28.78
and they don't wash their
hands, germs are transmitted
00:31:28.97\00:31:30.86
so quickly and if you don't
have a regimen in your life
00:31:31.05\00:31:33.87
or you may sure that
whatever can contaminate
00:31:34.07\00:31:35.72
you wash it off then
you will be affected by it,
00:31:35.92\00:31:39.15
so when the Lord says in 2
Corinthians 6 and verse 17,
00:31:39.34\00:31:42.13
listen to this in that context,
00:31:42.34\00:31:43.78
2 Corinthians 6 and verse 17,
00:31:43.99\00:31:46.11
Therefore, come out from
among them and be separate,
00:31:46.33\00:31:50.01
says the LORD. Do
not touch what is unclean
00:31:50.21\00:31:52.48
and I will receive
you" so when you make sure
00:31:52.70\00:31:54.91
that the things that
you touch or in touch,
00:31:55.16\00:31:57.52
which are not unclean
then the germs will not spread
00:31:57.72\00:32:02.36
and the infection
will not take root
00:32:02.58\00:32:04.99
and you know what
John, you know very well,
00:32:05.21\00:32:06.64
the moment you get
that tickle in your throat.
00:32:06.85\00:32:09.32
You know you are in trouble.
00:32:09.53\00:32:10.92
And then you say, oh,
no, here it comes and you
00:32:11.13\00:32:16.48
realize it's too late by
the time that tickle comes
00:32:16.69\00:32:19.87
people run to get medication
they take their Tylenol.
00:32:20.08\00:32:24.63
They are going to
the medicine cabinet
00:32:24.84\00:32:26.89
and not carry
themselves the fence usually
00:32:27.11\00:32:28.79
by the time that
tickles starts in the throat,
00:32:29.03\00:32:31.53
you know, that it has
been there for a while,
00:32:31.76\00:32:33.74
but that's the
first sign you got.
00:32:33.95\00:32:35.05
That's how sin often is.
00:32:35.26\00:32:36.79
He has been in
there working on us,
00:32:37.01\00:32:38.70
but it gives you a
sign and says, here I come.
00:32:38.90\00:32:41.99
It's like being on
the top of that slide
00:32:42.20\00:32:44.41
and there it was like you
are ready before you respond,
00:32:44.63\00:32:46.95
you are on your way down.
00:32:47.15\00:32:48.22
That's why the Lord
says in 2 Corinthians 6:17,
00:32:48.44\00:32:51.18
these words, "Therefore,
come out from among them
00:32:51.40\00:32:56.61
and be separate says the LORD.
00:32:56.83\00:32:58.17
Do not touch what is
unclean and I will receive you.
00:32:58.37\00:33:01.22
In another words,
cleanse your hands you sinners;
00:33:01.42\00:33:05.14
and purify your
hearts you double minded
00:33:05.33\00:33:07.43
that's what Jesus
meant in the word.
00:33:07.63\00:33:09.55
You know the nice
thing too is that saying
00:33:09.87\00:33:11.49
it's not saying be
separate as in don't be involve
00:33:11.71\00:33:15.36
with the world at all. It
says as you are in the world
00:33:15.54\00:33:18.00
don't touch what is unclean.
In another words it's not,
00:33:18.20\00:33:21.58
it's not saying have no
involvement to win sinners
00:33:21.80\00:33:24.90
and present the message,
00:33:25.11\00:33:26.14
the gospel to
people who are lost,
00:33:26.35\00:33:28.01
and reach out and
help and meet their needs.
00:33:28.23\00:33:30.66
It saying don't engage
in the things that they do
00:33:31.42\00:33:33.36
that's what it means
that we should not touch
00:33:33.57\00:33:37.10
what is unclean, in
another words don't let
00:33:37.31\00:33:38.59
those things
come into our lives,
00:33:38.79\00:33:39.81
don't make them
part of your life,
00:33:40.01\00:33:41.07
don't touch what is unclean.
00:33:41.28\00:33:43.40
And in fact, we know that
as Christians in this world
00:33:43.62\00:33:46.39
that can be difficult
to do because sin is always
00:33:46.59\00:33:48.69
at our door. Seems like
it is always a temptation,
00:33:48.90\00:33:51.02
but here what he says in
1 Peter 2:11, 1 Peter 2:11,
00:33:51.21\00:33:55.93
"Beloved, I beg a
sojourners and pilgrims,
00:33:56.13\00:33:59.98
abstain from fleshly lusts,
which war against the soul.
00:34:00.21\00:34:03.47
Now that you are
sojourner, you are a pilgrim,
00:34:03.68\00:34:05.87
you are in this world,
you are part of this world,
00:34:06.08\00:34:08.09
but it does not mean you
should take part of this world.
00:34:08.29\00:34:11.98
I like that.
That's the difference.
00:34:12.19\00:34:13.96
Be in it, but not of it.
Some people may say well,
00:34:14.18\00:34:16.59
how can you possibly
live in New York city
00:34:16.79\00:34:19.31
and I'm using
it, that's my city.
00:34:19.52\00:34:20.94
I love my city New York.
But lot of people say to me,
00:34:21.15\00:34:23.18
when I say I'm from New York,
00:34:23.38\00:34:24.35
they say well that's
a good place to be from.
00:34:24.41\00:34:25.82
There are lot of righteous
people in New York city.
00:34:26.04\00:34:27.87
The odds though
of the numbers of sin
00:34:28.09\00:34:31.06
that come against
them and the influences
00:34:31.89\00:34:33.44
that they have to
avoid is exponentially higher
00:34:33.69\00:34:36.73
than it is here
in Thompsonville.
00:34:36.94\00:34:38.20
We go outside and
drive down the road.
00:34:38.42\00:34:39.89
We see trees. You go down
the road in New York city,
00:34:40.10\00:34:42.44
you hear music,
you hear profanity,
00:34:42.64\00:34:45.37
your cars screech in,
sirens going on, bill boards,
00:34:45.59\00:34:48.91
all kinds of medias
just bombarding you,
00:34:49.13\00:34:51.70
advertisement
that you can't look
00:34:51.91\00:34:54.05
at for more than 10
seconds and so we know
00:34:54.27\00:34:56.98
the influences are greater,
but the Lord is not saying
00:34:57.19\00:34:59.48
that because your
influences are around you that,
00:34:59.70\00:35:02.37
that means you have to fall.
00:35:02.58\00:35:03.78
See, you got to
cleanse your hands,
00:35:04.02\00:35:05.97
you got to make
sure that you abstain
00:35:06.19\00:35:07.50
from those things
that war against the soul.
00:35:07.73\00:35:10.24
That's right, and you
know, when it comes to all
00:35:10.46\00:35:12.49
these things, you know,
kind of back to the subject
00:35:12.52\00:35:14.31
we're talking
about the advertisement.
00:35:14.52\00:35:15.68
You know, they want us to
buy more of their product.
00:35:15.91\00:35:18.38
They want us to do, of course,
00:35:18.60\00:35:21.71
they want to be
successful on selling
00:35:21.92\00:35:23.05
what they got to sale,
but you know we are so much
00:35:23.26\00:35:25.21
of that it seems like,
hasn't seem like to you John
00:35:25.42\00:35:27.77
that our plates
sizes and the things
00:35:27.98\00:35:30.76
that we are taking
into us have gotten bigger.
00:35:30.98\00:35:33.13
Oh! Yeah. It
seems like the things
00:35:33.35\00:35:35.37
that we are beginning to
do, there is so much to eat
00:35:35.60\00:35:38.29
and there is so
much selection there,
00:35:38.51\00:35:39.81
I mean you know go
overseas and you see first hand
00:35:40.03\00:35:42.45
that people they don't
have a lot to eat basically
00:35:43.48\00:35:45.49
they have a little rice,
little beans maybe some bread
00:35:45.71\00:35:47.86
and that's they
have all the time.
00:35:48.06\00:35:49.69
That's all they have to eat.
00:35:49.91\00:35:50.88
But we have got
so much coming at us
00:35:51.05\00:35:53.09
and we are
engaging so much stuff that,
00:35:53.30\00:35:55.00
that our appetite gets bigger.
00:35:55.21\00:35:56.42
And bigger and bigger
and it affects us physically
00:35:56.63\00:35:59.38
and so you know, it's
important that we moderate
00:35:59.59\00:36:03.06
the amount of food that
we are taking to our body.
00:36:03.29\00:36:05.83
In fact, it says in
Proverbs 23 and I know we have
00:36:06.04\00:36:09.11
looked at Proverbs 24,
yeah verse 2, verse 2 and 3
00:36:09.45\00:36:11.92
it says "And put a
knife to your throat
00:36:12.13\00:36:13.74
if you are a man
given to appetite."
00:36:13.95\00:36:15.90
Do not desire his delicacies
for their deceptive food.
00:36:16.12\00:36:20.58
What he saying is, you
know don't put a knife to your
00:36:21.23\00:36:23.38
throat when you are
just because you are hungry.
00:36:23.41\00:36:25.23
He is talking about
the gluten here, isn't he?
00:36:25.48\00:36:27.94
That's exactly.
00:36:28.15\00:36:29.13
Someone who just
eats and eats and eats
00:36:29.36\00:36:30.52
and eats and eats, there
is, you got to say enough
00:36:30.75\00:36:32.63
already, you know, your
body clearly doesn't need
00:36:32.85\00:36:35.07
anymore food,
moderate be careful of
00:36:35.26\00:36:38.14
how much you
taking in your body.
00:36:38.34\00:36:39.72
Somebody wants to
say I am not broke,
00:36:39.93\00:36:41.23
I have more checks.
00:36:41.46\00:36:42.43
I am still hungry
because there is more food.
00:36:42.56\00:36:44.96
You got to really be careful.
00:36:45.19\00:36:46.72
I know you and I have
the same thing when it comes
00:36:46.95\00:36:48.69
to this eating thing.
John and I will share something
00:36:48.90\00:36:51.34
in common not only
are we the same race,
00:36:51.55\00:36:53.27
but whenever he is eating
and he says the first chance
00:36:53.50\00:36:58.20
he gets this feeling
of being full he stops,
00:36:58.42\00:37:00.50
and I am the same way. I
could be sitting at the most
00:37:00.70\00:37:02.74
delicious food when my
body says, oh! You are full.
00:37:02.95\00:37:07.13
I stop, I stop in
the middle of a meal.
00:37:07.33\00:37:09.07
Somebody says what
happen? Are you full? I am full?
00:37:09.29\00:37:11.48
I can't eat anymore.
Well, finish, I mean like there
00:37:11.71\00:37:15.62
is so much more food
left, I am done. I am full.
00:37:15.83\00:37:17.89
But there is some
individuals that have turned
00:37:18.11\00:37:20.67
off that, that
impulse to not go any further.
00:37:20.90\00:37:25.24
Yeah, not listening to
their body that saying enough.
00:37:25.45\00:37:27.51
And you know your
stomach will stretch.
00:37:27.72\00:37:29.06
Oh! Yeah, but I don't know.
00:37:29.28\00:37:30.36
You eat enough
your stomach stretches
00:37:30.59\00:37:31.70
and you don't know
that you are getting full
00:37:31.91\00:37:33.42
when your stomach keeps
getting bigger and bigger
00:37:33.65\00:37:35.52
and bigger, we
kind of adapt to that.
00:37:35.75\00:37:37.12
Have you notice
what we've been talking
00:37:37.36\00:37:38.33
about mostly in this
topic outside of the things
00:37:38.46\00:37:40.75
that we should avoid,
we also been having talking
00:37:40.95\00:37:42.58
about the greatest
issue of, the greatest issue
00:37:42.81\00:37:45.30
about the greatest
issue of, the greatest issue
00:37:45.33\00:37:46.30
of the health issue.
There are three categories;
00:37:46.31\00:37:47.80
the red light, the yellow
light, and the green light.
00:37:48.03\00:37:50.07
The red light things
we should avoid smoking,
00:37:50.28\00:37:52.43
unclean foods, alcohol,
tobacco, cigarettes, drugs,
00:37:52.63\00:37:55.12
marijuana, cocaine all
that stuff should be red light,
00:37:55.33\00:37:58.89
never in your body at all.
Then the yellow light issues
00:37:59.10\00:38:01.90
things that we have
to do in moderation.
00:38:02.11\00:38:05.41
Got to be careful.
00:38:05.62\00:38:06.59
Got to be moderate with
those things like, okay,
00:38:06.60\00:38:08.14
sugar is good,
but when I say good,
00:38:08.35\00:38:10.94
it's not, it tastes
good, but you go ahead
00:38:11.16\00:38:14.37
and over do it, your
body will pay you back.
00:38:14.59\00:38:16.81
Now notice I didn't put
caffeine into that category
00:38:17.03\00:38:20.00
because it's a
harmful stimulant.
00:38:20.21\00:38:21.80
That's a red
light. It's a red light.
00:38:22.01\00:38:22.99
It shouldn't be in the
body anything that stimulates
00:38:23.21\00:38:24.94
or gets in addiction
going like the way doc always
00:38:25.15\00:38:28.83
says and I, I
always laughing he does it,
00:38:29.03\00:38:30.82
doc bachelor that is. He
says, you have never seen
00:38:31.63\00:38:33.91
anybody kicking a fit or
having a withdrawals because
00:38:34.11\00:38:37.55
they, I need a
banana, I need a banana,
00:38:37.77\00:38:40.28
I need a banana, I need
a tomato, get me a tomato
00:38:40.50\00:38:43.96
I am gonna die if I
haven't have a tomato.
00:38:44.17\00:38:45.77
You don't do that for
things that are natural
00:38:45.99\00:38:47.81
That's right.
00:38:48.02\00:38:48.99
We do that for
things that are unnatural.
00:38:49.00\00:38:50.04
That's why you have to
keep sure that you make sure
00:38:50.26\00:38:54.11
that you are
tempered in all things.
00:38:54.33\00:38:55.88
And then, the green things,
let me finish this story.
00:38:56.09\00:38:58.08
Then the green things;
the statistic has pointed out
00:38:58.29\00:39:02.05
recently one of the
reasons why we are so heavy
00:39:02.25\00:39:05.74
in this country it's
because we are in tempered.
00:39:05.94\00:39:09.74
It is not a gland
problem, it is a mouth problem.
00:39:09.94\00:39:14.42
Hand-to-mouth
disease, not ooof disease.
00:39:14.84\00:39:18.63
Hand-to-mouth is a
biggest disease in America.
00:39:18.85\00:39:21.32
Well, like a tongue
to tongue is as long
00:39:21.53\00:39:23.29
as this food
we're going to eat it.
00:39:23.50\00:39:24.48
And there are some who
don't metabolize this fast.
00:39:24.71\00:39:27.21
So, there are
some medical issues
00:39:27.36\00:39:28.33
that are
relating here, exceptions,
00:39:28.47\00:39:29.44
we are not saying that,
but overall on the majority
00:39:29.45\00:39:31.94
that's exactly as
you said, you know, John
00:39:32.17\00:39:34.09
I've have a sweet tooth
and I think you have a sweet
00:39:34.30\00:39:36.49
tooth sometimes too.
But you know sometimes,
00:39:36.69\00:39:38.69
sometimes as I am
eating sweet, sweet things,
00:39:38.91\00:39:41.01
sometimes things
are just too sweet.
00:39:41.21\00:39:42.62
I can't eat hot
candy, I can't do it.
00:39:42.84\00:39:45.71
To me it's just
too sweet in my mouth.
00:39:45.93\00:39:47.79
There are other
things, I put in my mouth
00:39:48.01\00:39:50.90
and I've eaten
couple of bites and say,
00:39:51.09\00:39:52.27
you know what
it's just too sweet,
00:39:52.48\00:39:54.27
it's just too much in
here, and we've seen in our
00:39:54.48\00:39:56.54
society increase to a
degree or level, fever pitch,
00:39:56.74\00:40:00.33
where our sugar
content in some of these sweets
00:40:00.52\00:40:02.93
is so high that you
can almost eat one bite,
00:40:03.75\00:40:06.18
I mean you have
touched the roof.
00:40:06.39\00:40:08.61
You know I am at
the place now John,
00:40:08.83\00:40:10.26
where when I eat
something sweet my head hurts
00:40:10.48\00:40:12.70
instantly I said
Angie I said, right away.
00:40:12.91\00:40:15.89
I felt the effect of
that you know, why because
00:40:16.10\00:40:18.16
I've avoided that so much
my body has purified itself
00:40:18.37\00:40:20.91
from all these things.
Sugar is also a stimulant that,
00:40:21.16\00:40:25.44
that's why children get
sick. You send little Johnnie
00:40:26.24\00:40:28.60
to school, he is
bouncing off the walls,
00:40:28.79\00:40:29.93
he is like a super ball,
trace it back to his diet.
00:40:30.16\00:40:33.31
You know, so lot of
people wants to say put a knife
00:40:33.55\00:40:36.33
to your throat, when you
are person given to appetite
00:40:36.52\00:40:38.68
strangely enough. One of
the twelve tribes of Israel,
00:40:38.91\00:40:41.79
his name was
Asher, and the Bible says,
00:40:41.99\00:40:44.31
his bread shall be
fat and his table shall
00:40:44.54\00:40:48.08
yield royal dentist. He
had a problem with appetite
00:40:48.29\00:40:51.78
and so there those who
have that struggle to overcome.
00:40:52.59\00:40:54.69
There are certain
things that are not a sin
00:40:54.92\00:40:57.41
that you will be lost for.
00:40:57.62\00:40:59.12
But you will have a terribly
low level of healthy life.
00:40:59.34\00:41:03.22
You will have arthritis.
00:41:03.41\00:41:04.77
You won't be clear in your mind.
00:41:04.98\00:41:06.33
In the first lesson by the
way in prophecy in Daniel 1,
00:41:06.56\00:41:09.63
is that these
young men had a pure diet
00:41:09.85\00:41:11.67
and they maintained
that for clear minds.
00:41:11.88\00:41:13.74
You know the next
text we are gonna get into
00:41:13.96\00:41:15.40
something that's kind of
interesting and I remember
00:41:15.62\00:41:17.72
the thought or
comment that you had said,
00:41:17.93\00:41:19.55
this was years
ago back in Fairfield.
00:41:19.75\00:41:21.34
With regard to peoples
personality and after their
00:41:23.29\00:41:26.81
aggressiveness just
because of the blood and meat
00:41:27.01\00:41:29.83
content that they ate
especially in children,
00:41:30.01\00:41:32.09
oh, amazing, and here
we read in Leviticus 3:17,
00:41:32.30\00:41:34.52
it says, this shall be a
perpetual statute throughout
00:41:34.73\00:41:37.77
your generations, in
another words forever,
00:41:37.97\00:41:39.84
in all your
dwellings, you shall eat neither
00:41:40.05\00:41:42.51
fat nor blood" that's right.
00:41:42.71\00:41:45.51
So they were eating
meat but that meat was not to
00:41:45.72\00:41:47.53
contain any blood,
exactly, so you know those
00:41:47.73\00:41:50.32
who are meat eaters
out there, you know,
00:41:50.53\00:41:51.95
we are not saying
that eating beef is a sin
00:41:52.17\00:41:56.64
it doesn't say
that it is in the Bible,
00:41:56.86\00:41:58.26
we can't find that
anywhere, but eating blood,
00:41:58.49\00:41:59.94
in another words
eating it medium rare or where
00:42:00.16\00:42:02.28
to the point where
bloods dripping out
00:42:02.49\00:42:03.58
that it says we should not do.
00:42:03.80\00:42:05.66
I know in your
experiences you've seen some
00:42:05.89\00:42:09.84
of that happen
and with some families
00:42:10.06\00:42:11.97
and with some kids the
amount of food and meat
00:42:12.18\00:42:16.14
and even they are not
cooking their meat totally,
00:42:16.36\00:42:18.68
can have an impact on their.
00:42:18.90\00:42:20.09
There character
not the character,
00:42:20.30\00:42:22.45
but their personality.
00:42:22.66\00:42:23.63
There personality,
their persona, you know,
00:42:23.69\00:42:25.45
let me just use as an example,
00:42:25.66\00:42:26.63
lets me use as a
measurement of, let's just say
00:42:26.78\00:42:28.71
between my top
hand and bottom hand
00:42:28.92\00:42:30.21
that's the
measurement of the mood swings.
00:42:30.42\00:42:32.71
That's what I like to
use. People that are not
00:42:32.93\00:42:35.41
meat eaters they
have smaller mood swing.
00:42:35.65\00:42:38.17
People that are meat
eaters have a larger mood swing.
00:42:38.39\00:42:41.88
They go from quite to ferocious.
00:42:42.08\00:42:45.07
They can go
enraged in a heart beat
00:42:45.27\00:42:47.64
and you will find
that among the meat eaters
00:42:47.87\00:42:50.36
those who are
constant meat eaters
00:42:50.55\00:42:52.31
they can have a
temper flare just like that.
00:42:52.53\00:42:54.94
But those who are not
meat eaters their mood swings
00:42:55.15\00:42:57.69
are lot less, lot
lower and let me also add
00:42:57.90\00:43:00.57
to that those who
have less stimulants
00:43:00.78\00:43:02.41
in their diets
because somebody may say,
00:43:02.61\00:43:04.48
hey, I am not a meat
eater, so he is not a meat eater
00:43:04.67\00:43:06.83
or she is not, why hers,
why are her swings so great.
00:43:07.05\00:43:09.80
You will discover that
they have a lot more spicy foods
00:43:10.00\00:43:12.62
lot more pepper, lot
more things that in flame even
00:43:12.83\00:43:16.74
cayenne pepper as good as it is.
00:43:16.93\00:43:18.92
For the body and its
uses it still pepper.
00:43:19.14\00:43:22.86
Some people may say
I don't eat red pepper,
00:43:23.08\00:43:25.48
I don't eat black pepper,
but I eat cayenne pepper.
00:43:25.68\00:43:27.84
Anything that is a
stimulant should be taken in
00:43:28.04\00:43:30.43
moderation, but
meat in the inflaming,
00:43:30.64\00:43:33.72
think about that
you have taken an animal
00:43:34.01\00:43:35.74
that's 2000 pounds, you
take him into a slaughterhouse.
00:43:35.95\00:43:39.07
By the time he gets
tied up and all locked
00:43:39.28\00:43:43.06
into this cage, he
knows he is about to die.
00:43:43.26\00:43:45.77
By the time,
you go to the place,
00:43:45.97\00:43:47.82
where you are
gonna slit his throat
00:43:48.02\00:43:48.99
or whatever they
use to kill this animal,
00:43:49.00\00:43:50.52
this cow he is
inflame. Adrenalin releases.
00:43:50.72\00:43:53.28
His adrenalin releases
his all through the purines,
00:43:53.49\00:43:56.71
get shot into his
veins, into his system
00:43:57.04\00:44:00.31
and when he gets
killed he gets killed
00:44:00.53\00:44:03.29
at the highest fever pitch point
00:44:03.50\00:44:05.89
because he is
fighting to save his life,
00:44:06.08\00:44:07.40
and in body as
replete with all these enzymes
00:44:07.61\00:44:11.13
and then when
the meat gets cooked
00:44:11.34\00:44:13.14
here is an
experiment; cook a piece of beef
00:44:13.37\00:44:16.37
and when you done
cooking you take it in,
00:44:16.57\00:44:19.62
leave it in your car in
a paper bag or in a plate,
00:44:19.83\00:44:23.63
but leave it in a
paper bag and not plastic,
00:44:23.83\00:44:26.73
but paper so that it
could air out and leave it
00:44:26.94\00:44:29.02
in your car go buy a
hamburger and leave it
00:44:29.21\00:44:32.08
in your car one night.
00:44:32.29\00:44:33.54
And when you
come back the next day
00:44:33.76\00:44:35.04
it's going to smell. I
am not gonna get you sick,
00:44:35.24\00:44:37.45
but it's gonna
smell like there was like
00:44:37.66\00:44:38.63
there is purine in your vehicle.
00:44:38.70\00:44:40.99
Because what you smell is
the purines inside the beef,
00:44:41.20\00:44:45.67
which is as a result of
these enzymes being released
00:44:45.88\00:44:49.61
into the flesh of the
animal because at the time
00:44:49.82\00:44:52.54
of his death he was at
the highest fever pitch.
00:44:52.73\00:44:55.38
Sounds kind of gross.
00:44:55.60\00:44:56.57
But that's what
happens and when we eat that
00:44:56.79\00:44:58.60
and we wonder why children
that eat meat grow faster
00:44:58.81\00:45:01.72
than vegetarians is
because they are putting
00:45:01.92\00:45:03.58
all the stimulants
and all these chemicals
00:45:03.79\00:45:06.57
in their bodies
that would design
00:45:06.77\00:45:08.21
to be into 2000
pound beast, you see.
00:45:08.43\00:45:11.30
You know, and there is a
principle here Proverbs 23
00:45:11.33\00:45:14.92
and it was lot to
the same Proverbs 23.
00:45:15.13\00:45:16.83
Read that again. Verse 7,
00:45:17.06\00:45:18.19
"For as he thinks
in his heart, so is he:
00:45:18.41\00:45:20.32
Eat and drink, he said to you;
00:45:20.55\00:45:22.79
but his heart is not with you.
00:45:23.00\00:45:24.46
You know, I know
obviously he is talking about
00:45:24.68\00:45:27.12
as we think, but you
know also we are what we eat.
00:45:27.33\00:45:29.78
I mean the principle
goes here is not just we are
00:45:29.98\00:45:32.52
as we think but
we are as we eat.
00:45:32.71\00:45:34.16
And so here the
comment connecting as we think,
00:45:34.39\00:45:38.00
but eat and drink I mean
there is a connection here
00:45:38.20\00:45:40.58
and so we've got be
careful that we will be put
00:45:40.82\00:45:42.68
in our bodies, is in causing
us to be different people
00:45:42.89\00:45:45.67
then we would be. You
know, had we eaten the way
00:45:45.87\00:45:48.34
the God has us designed for.
00:45:48.53\00:45:49.95
You know, I believe John
that there are lot of people
00:45:50.15\00:45:52.31
incapable of really receiving
the truths of God's word
00:45:52.50\00:45:55.58
and making decided decisions
and committed decisions
00:45:56.44\00:45:58.56
to follow him
because they are so numb
00:45:58.78\00:46:00.77
by what they
put in their bodies.
00:46:00.98\00:46:02.02
That is a very good analysis.
00:46:02.25\00:46:04.01
And until they
change that, the commitment
00:46:04.23\00:46:06.38
just forgot it won't
be there as it should.
00:46:06.58\00:46:08.87
They can't receive
spiritual things because
00:46:09.10\00:46:10.50
their mind is under
duress that's the word
00:46:10.73\00:46:14.34
I want to use. For
a person to sit down,
00:46:14.54\00:46:16.73
let's just think about this.
00:46:16.95\00:46:18.00
Let's look at the cycle
in America and by the way
00:46:18.22\00:46:20.80
we are talking about
principles here right now
00:46:21.01\00:46:22.58
when I go into eat or not eat.
00:46:22.77\00:46:24.31
All reiterate by saying
this it's not a sin to eat
00:46:24.53\00:46:29.54
clean meats, but your
preparation of those things
00:46:29.74\00:46:32.82
can really make a
difference and you also have to
00:46:33.05\00:46:35.26
think about the society
in which we are living today.
00:46:35.45\00:46:37.34
There is such a demand
for meats that God forbid,
00:46:37.56\00:46:41.93
restaurants in one state
00:46:42.16\00:46:45.42
that demand beef, how all
these restaurants all over
00:46:45.65\00:46:49.07
the world being
supplying this beef.
00:46:49.27\00:46:51.86
There got be
some natural practices
00:46:52.08\00:46:53.88
that get to seem
to grow so quickly.
00:46:54.09\00:46:55.27
And the amount of stuff
that they are taking in.
00:46:55.49\00:46:56.80
I think God was trying
to teach Israel a point back
00:46:57.01\00:47:00.83
when they were asking for
meat and he sent them quail,
00:47:01.03\00:47:05.19
remember how many
quails he sent them?
00:47:05.40\00:47:08.20
There were on all
the face of the desert.
00:47:08.41\00:47:10.53
There were on the
face of the desert.
00:47:10.75\00:47:12.01
I think it was 3
meters almost high.
00:47:12.23\00:47:13.94
Now that wasn't
quail to quail solid,
00:47:14.15\00:47:17.00
but we are talking
about there was so much quail
00:47:17.21\00:47:19.17
that it was all over
the place of this high.
00:47:19.38\00:47:21.46
And they ate so much of
it that they became sick.
00:47:21.67\00:47:26.93
And God was trying
to teach them through
00:47:27.12\00:47:29.35
that is that you
want it, here you go.
00:47:29.55\00:47:31.84
But don't eat so much of it.
00:47:32.05\00:47:34.62
And it did make them sick.
00:47:34.83\00:47:36.20
They have learned
lessons from that and I believe
00:47:36.41\00:47:37.62
in the way that God ask
them to prepare the foods
00:47:37.83\00:47:40.88
among how much to eat
of those foods and so forth
00:47:41.09\00:47:43.74
was principles and
guidelines that he set forth
00:47:43.95\00:47:46.90
protect them
from the damage that,
00:47:47.16\00:47:48.85
that meat could
really do in their bodies.
00:47:49.04\00:47:51.31
So, although eating
clean meat and we are talking
00:47:51.53\00:47:54.66
about clean meant is not a sin.
00:47:54.86\00:47:55.83
The amount of that meat
that you take in your body
00:47:56.04\00:47:58.38
will have a major
negative effect on you
00:47:58.59\00:48:01.68
if you allow it
to and so that's why
00:48:01.89\00:48:03.92
we got to be very careful about
00:48:04.14\00:48:05.47
how much we are eating.
00:48:05.68\00:48:06.65
Because you have to digest it.
00:48:06.88\00:48:08.10
And it's very hard to digest,
00:48:08.34\00:48:10.19
not only that it
stays with you a much longer
00:48:10.43\00:48:12.28
than it does
then other foods do.
00:48:12.50\00:48:14.32
Think of an 8 ounce
stack and before that's
00:48:14.53\00:48:18.41
digested another one
is on the top of that
00:48:18.62\00:48:20.74
and it says it takes
a body 8 hours for food
00:48:20.96\00:48:22.93
to be digested
properly through the body pass
00:48:23.15\00:48:25.10
through the system.
What do you think about that
00:48:25.32\00:48:26.96
you have one full
lunch, you have another big one
00:48:27.17\00:48:28.90
for dinner and in America
especially here in Midwest
00:48:29.10\00:48:31.90
you know people say
I'm a meat and potato guy.
00:48:32.11\00:48:34.23
Well, potato is not too
bad even the white potatoes
00:48:34.51\00:48:36.93
don't have as many good
properties as sweet potatoes
00:48:37.14\00:48:39.55
and other red potatoes
and those are mineral rich.
00:48:39.75\00:48:43.14
But you have that
kind of a diet that really
00:48:43.35\00:48:45.83
stacks it on. Well,
now just look around.
00:48:46.03\00:48:48.11
One good friend of
mine says you can't be fit
00:48:48.34\00:48:50.72
like a fiddle if you
shape like a shallow.
00:48:51.04\00:48:52.87
What happens is you get
to the point we eat so much
00:48:53.09\00:48:55.43
so regularly that the body
can't digest it fast enough,
00:48:55.62\00:48:58.66
so you can't move and
who stalks looking more
00:48:58.88\00:49:02.17
like the cow, the
person eating the cow
00:49:02.36\00:49:04.01
rather than the cow
itself. But we have a lesson
00:49:04.24\00:49:06.74
to learn from the
cow himself because
00:49:06.95\00:49:09.74
cows people may say,
hey, how you guys gonna put
00:49:09.94\00:49:13.58
any weight on you
don't eat any meat.
00:49:13.77\00:49:14.88
Tell that to the
cow, who doesn't eat meat.
00:49:15.13\00:49:19.41
That's right and you
can't eat a lot more food
00:49:19.63\00:49:22.67
and get
plentiful on healthy foods.
00:49:22.89\00:49:25.18
Have you seen that
deceptive commercial
00:49:25.39\00:49:26.48
they had lately,
it's been on television
00:49:26.69\00:49:28.71
about a year
now here in America,
00:49:28.93\00:49:29.90
where the guy is outside
and the window is blowing
00:49:30.11\00:49:32.54
real strong and he gets
blown away and the guys say,
00:49:32.72\00:49:35.59
what did you
have for lunch today,
00:49:35.79\00:49:38.33
salad and some
greens and all of a sudden
00:49:38.56\00:49:40.88
big wind comes
and he gets blown away
00:49:41.09\00:49:42.81
and the other guys
said I had meat and potatoes
00:49:43.01\00:49:44.64
and he stands
firmly in this hurricane
00:49:44.86\00:49:46.55
or at the table little
boy goes blows on the table
00:49:46.77\00:49:49.89
and his dad flies
off the table because
00:49:50.09\00:49:51.43
all he had was vegetables
and fruits and grains.
00:49:51.65\00:49:53.77
But the guy that ate
the meat stays at the table
00:49:53.99\00:49:56.20
that's a deceptive advertisement
00:49:56.42\00:49:58.56
that's like
saying pork is the other
00:49:58.59\00:50:00.00
white meat. You know that one.
00:50:00.03\00:50:03.36
Yeah, absolutely we
don't understand and don't
00:50:03.58\00:50:06.14
look at whose behind
these things, you know,
00:50:06.36\00:50:07.71
those who want to make money,
00:50:07.91\00:50:08.88
those in the business and
you know if your life work
00:50:08.89\00:50:16.10
was a slaughterhouse.
Would you even began to think
00:50:16.32\00:50:20.94
of advocating a
vegetarian lifestyle, you know,
00:50:21.13\00:50:24.32
I mean even we see
now a-days you've got cows
00:50:24.52\00:50:27.16
that are out there with
signs that say eat chicken.
00:50:27.36\00:50:29.22
You know, I mean, they say
that, they don't eat anything
00:50:29.43\00:50:34.50
but you know as far as if
you are slaughterhouse owner
00:50:34.69\00:50:37.90
about to this what I
got to offer, you know,
00:50:38.10\00:50:39.94
and so even it is
a law that you cannot
00:50:40.15\00:50:45.03
slender food producing
industries. In America.
00:50:45.26\00:50:50.86
In America, hope for God
sued, for saying something
00:50:51.06\00:50:53.47
against the beef
industry that's to lasted
00:50:53.67\00:50:55.75
for many years because it
was against the law for you
00:50:55.97\00:50:59.32
to do that, and what
happened to the meat industry.
00:50:59.52\00:51:01.02
They thought they
were severely hurt by that.
00:51:01.23\00:51:02.97
So it's even not
political, politically correct
00:51:03.18\00:51:06.74
to be able to say eat
right be vegetarian or cut down
00:51:06.94\00:51:11.82
or at least cut
down your meat, you know,
00:51:12.02\00:51:12.99
we are talking to people
out there who have eaten meat
00:51:13.16\00:51:15.53
all their lives. We are
saying at least cut back,
00:51:15.73\00:51:18.23
eat more stuff, eat of
all the five food groups.
00:51:18.45\00:51:21.39
You know, the basic
stuff and even the US Nutrition
00:51:21.60\00:51:24.84
Department wants to tell
you now that it is important
00:51:25.06\00:51:27.01
for your health, eat that stuff.
00:51:27.21\00:51:28.66
You know, I love my
family and I have some family
00:51:28.88\00:51:31.36
in the Virgin
Islands there in French town
00:51:31.57\00:51:33.87
I want to just, this
is a wonderful example
00:51:34.08\00:51:36.20
how the change in diet
could really make the difference
00:51:36.42\00:51:39.47
in your life. My Uncle Leon,
00:51:39.67\00:51:40.88
happy, hello all
those in French town
00:51:41.10\00:51:44.07
in the Virgin Islands and
those down on main street,
00:51:44.27\00:51:46.96
we just love you all
there in the Virgin Islands,
00:51:47.17\00:51:50.19
but my uncle Leon had
a close call last year
00:51:50.40\00:51:54.31
or it was earlier
this year, where he had
00:51:54.54\00:51:57.52
a heart attack,
but he survived it.
00:51:57.73\00:52:00.20
And after that
he has drastically
00:52:00.42\00:52:03.69
changed his diet,
lost the lot of weight
00:52:03.72\00:52:05.58
and he said he is willing to do
00:52:05.61\00:52:07.06
anything to
maintain a healthy lifestyle
00:52:07.28\00:52:09.05
and to live longer.
You know, what most people
00:52:09.28\00:52:11.95
would find better if they
adapt a healthier lifestyle
00:52:12.19\00:52:17.20
to avoid the heart
attacks because you know
00:52:17.42\00:52:19.29
what they say
sometimes the first sign
00:52:19.49\00:52:20.87
of a heart
attack is a heart attack
00:52:21.09\00:52:22.91
and some people
survive it, some people don't,
00:52:23.16\00:52:25.67
the sad reality is.
00:52:25.88\00:52:27.00
His brother died from the
same thing of heart attack.
00:52:27.25\00:52:31.78
Here today gone tomorrow
and when you think about it
00:52:32.00\00:52:35.91
and I want to just add
this also there are those
00:52:36.11\00:52:38.30
when I wanna be very
fair, there those who say well
00:52:38.51\00:52:41.61
I don't eat beef hardly at all
00:52:41.81\00:52:44.63
in the Virgin Islands
there is not a heavy beef market
00:52:44.84\00:52:46.81
because it's has an import.
00:52:47.03\00:52:48.15
But there is a lot of fish.
00:52:48.39\00:52:49.37
And there those who eat
shellfish, oysters, lobsters,
00:52:49.60\00:52:53.27
crabs, you know, they
are high in cholesterol.
00:52:53.46\00:52:58.86
The garbage comes from the sea.
00:52:58.89\00:52:59.86
There are the garbage dump,
00:52:59.87\00:53:00.84
they are high in
cholesterol, high in fats,
00:53:00.85\00:53:03.20
high in artery clogging food,
00:53:03.42\00:53:05.58
and artery clogging
properties, and they are just
00:53:05.82\00:53:08.89
as much as culprit as the
blood that gets introduced
00:53:09.10\00:53:12.95
into our bodies. Blood
should be put into our veins
00:53:13.14\00:53:15.52
intravenously for
the health of the body,
00:53:15.73\00:53:17.58
but not ingested
into the digestive system.
00:53:17.79\00:53:21.14
You know, some I've heard say,
00:53:21.35\00:53:23.51
you have to die sometime.
00:53:23.72\00:53:24.95
You know, I just
don't understand.
00:53:25.18\00:53:26.99
Until they are dying.
00:53:27.21\00:53:28.18
Interpreting,
yeah, and some will,
00:53:28.24\00:53:30.66
here is another
argument well, what's his name
00:53:30.86\00:53:33.86
with the cigar that
lifts to leave to hundred.
00:53:34.07\00:53:35.65
Oh! George Burns
00:53:35.86\00:53:36.83
George Burns,
well, you know, eat, eat,
00:53:37.03\00:53:38.98
live his whole life
without, you know, cancer free
00:53:39.21\00:53:41.37
and everything. He
never died until he was 100
00:53:41.60\00:53:43.69
and some, imagine
how. And he smoked cigar.
00:53:43.90\00:53:45.77
As if that's a reason
you just keep on smoking.
00:53:45.98\00:53:48.72
It's almost like you
dismiss all of the things
00:53:48.94\00:53:51.31
that point to the
fact that if you smoke
00:53:51.52\00:53:52.88
you will get cancer
or chances are 80 percent
00:53:53.10\00:53:55.62
which are gonna develop
cancer in your lifetime.
00:53:55.83\00:53:58.01
You know, there are
doctors; there are doctors
00:53:58.24\00:53:59.54
that are probably
listening to this program
00:53:59.75\00:54:01.02
that are probably
saying, you know these guys
00:54:01.24\00:54:02.97
don't know what
they are talking about.
00:54:03.18\00:54:04.30
If you ignore all that
we've said and went ahead
00:54:04.53\00:54:09.03
and did opposite to
what we have recommended
00:54:09.25\00:54:11.82
based on the
scripture in the word of God.
00:54:12.03\00:54:13.83
You will begin to see
that although we are not
00:54:14.09\00:54:16.27
physicians and
dietitians and nutritionists,
00:54:16.47\00:54:18.77
the word of God gives
us principles that tell us
00:54:18.99\00:54:21.32
to avoid going in the direction,
00:54:21.52\00:54:23.08
where you gonna need a doctor
00:54:23.32\00:54:24.49
or you are gonna
need a nutritionist or you
00:54:24.72\00:54:26.55
are gonna need to health
professional to recover you.
00:54:26.75\00:54:28.62
Because God is the nutritionist.
00:54:28.86\00:54:30.35
God is the nutritionist.
00:54:30.57\00:54:31.54
He is the ultimate nutritionist.
00:54:31.55\00:54:33.28
Last thing, I
want to say about this
00:54:33.51\00:54:34.79
and this is a
totally different category
00:54:35.01\00:54:36.14
to get but
somewhere along the way
00:54:36.36\00:54:37.39
when you discover how
to live a healthy lifestyle
00:54:37.61\00:54:40.31
and you are
sitting down at your table
00:54:40.53\00:54:42.14
and you are eating together,
00:54:42.35\00:54:43.32
make that an enjoyable time.
00:54:43.46\00:54:45.87
Listen to this
Ecclesiastes 3:13,
00:54:46.08\00:54:47.61
And also that every
man should eat and drink,
00:54:47.85\00:54:51.23
and enjoy the
good of all his labor,
00:54:51.45\00:54:53.84
it is the gift of
God. You know friends
00:54:54.05\00:54:55.92
meal time in our homes
should not be a stressful time,
00:54:56.13\00:54:58.85
try something, try to
turn off your television
00:54:59.07\00:55:01.59
during the time
you eat at the table,
00:55:01.62\00:55:03.36
try to turn off the radio,
00:55:03.57\00:55:04.76
try to put the newspaper down,
00:55:04.98\00:55:06.87
try to put your
mail down, right,
00:55:07.10\00:55:08.96
try not to look at your bills
00:55:09.19\00:55:10.58
or get a terrible phone call,
00:55:10.85\00:55:12.48
put the phone on
pause or on do not disturb
00:55:12.70\00:55:16.38
while you eating,
so that you can eat,
00:55:16.59\00:55:18.33
you can drink, you can
look into your spouses face
00:55:18.56\00:55:21.23
and say how was your
day, honey, how was your day,
00:55:21.46\00:55:24.24
honey? You could enjoy
the food and you know what
00:55:24.45\00:55:26.88
ladies make something
that's good for your husband.
00:55:27.08\00:55:29.32
Husbands, if you are
the cook make something good
00:55:29.53\00:55:31.49
for your wives, get
your families together
00:55:31.70\00:55:33.53
and make dinner time
a time, where everybody
00:55:33.73\00:55:35.70
re-acclaims his or
herself with the other.
00:55:35.91\00:55:37.87
Yeah, you know, on closing
out this program ultimately
00:55:38.08\00:55:39.92
what we are saying
is that God wants you
00:55:40.15\00:55:42.47
to have life and to
have it more abundantly.
00:55:42.68\00:55:45.42
John 10:10, John 10:10.
00:55:45.64\00:55:46.69
Read that for us by the
way, that's a powerful text.
00:55:46.89\00:55:48.53
It says "The thief does
not come except to steal,
00:55:48.75\00:55:51.21
kill, and destroy. I have
come that they may have life
00:55:51.43\00:55:54.92
and that they may
have it more abundantly.
00:55:55.14\00:55:57.23
So God wants
abundant life for you and I,
00:55:57.44\00:56:00.36
and he has given
these principles as we cover
00:56:00.58\00:56:02.45
many of them over
the last few programs.
00:56:02.66\00:56:04.25
Finally, his word
he is the nutritionist.
00:56:04.48\00:56:06.29
We don't have to be nutritionist
00:56:06.51\00:56:07.48
to just share a God's word.
00:56:07.57\00:56:08.60
We sit here and we know that,
00:56:08.83\00:56:10.61
he knows what is best.
00:56:10.84\00:56:11.88
And so that's we
are giving you here.
00:56:12.11\00:56:13.33
It's not because you
know, we want to take the fun
00:56:13.56\00:56:16.82
out of everything even
his words says enjoy food,
00:56:17.05\00:56:20.27
enjoy life, enjoy these
things that is something
00:56:20.49\00:56:23.20
we need to do, but
what we just telling you
00:56:23.42\00:56:24.75
follow the guidelines
that God has given you,
00:56:24.96\00:56:26.46
and you will have
that abundant life
00:56:26.67\00:56:28.55
because you will live
long and you also enjoy serving
00:56:28.76\00:56:31.30
the Lord because that's
ultimately what he wants.
00:56:31.68\00:56:33.39
He wants us to
serve him, doesn't he?
00:56:33.61\00:56:35.04
He wants us to serve him,
00:56:35.25\00:56:36.33
but he wants us to be healthy.
00:56:36.55\00:56:37.53
You know, what if your
horse is sneezing and coughing
00:56:37.76\00:56:40.14
and burping and regurgitating,
00:56:40.35\00:56:42.77
he is not gonna win that race.
00:56:42.99\00:56:44.53
If your dog is just all
lay back he cannot protect you.
00:56:44.76\00:56:49.22
If we are out of
shape we cannot be fit
00:56:49.44\00:56:52.73
that's what for
God who abide in,
00:56:52.95\00:56:54.48
and if we are doing it
ourselves intentionally.
00:56:54.69\00:56:56.74
We are
dishonoring the very temple
00:56:56.97\00:56:58.50
that God is
interested to us. Friends,
00:56:58.72\00:57:00.28
we are saying eat,
drink, and be merry, enjoy life,
00:57:00.51\00:57:04.43
but do it the way that God
00:57:04.65\00:57:06.75
has ordained it to
be, right John. Amen.
00:57:06.98\00:57:08.74
And when you do that friends
00:57:08.97\00:57:10.36
you'll never have
to worry about sneezing
00:57:10.57\00:57:12.54
all the time instead of
your doctor going on vacation,
00:57:12.75\00:57:15.10
you will have the money
to take yourself on vacation.
00:57:15.33\00:57:17.78
You will have the
money to enjoy life,
00:57:17.99\00:57:19.57
so here at house
calls for what is for us
00:57:19.77\00:57:22.38
God has come that
we might have life
00:57:22.60\00:57:24.34
and have it more abundantly.
00:57:24.56\00:57:25.80
Consult his menu
for the best diet.
00:57:26.01\00:57:29.52
God bless you and have a great
00:57:29.73\00:57:31.17
and abundant
day in Jesus Christ.
00:57:31.39\00:57:34.03
