Lomacang and with me

amazing how time flies,
00:00:41.87\00:00:45.04
but how wonderful God's
promises are and we can trust
00:00:45.27\00:00:48.68
in those promises all the time.
00:00:48.88\00:00:50.38

00:00:58.79\00:01:00.22
we are gonna dive into
some further understandings
00:01:00.42\00:01:02.89
of the topic of
health and what intension
00:01:03.09\00:01:06.06
God has for your body.
We have some Bible questions
00:01:06.23\00:01:08.10
also and before we even
give you our website address,
00:01:08.33\00:01:12.07
where you can
send those questions,
00:01:12.27\00:01:13.60
we are gonna
begin with some prayer.
00:01:13.64\00:01:14.97
So John, why don't
you do that for us today?
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.11
That's sounds good;
bow your heads with us.
00:01:17.34\00:01:18.84
Father in Heaven we

00:01:36.62\00:01:38.76
Housecalls@3abn.org

00:01:39.76\00:01:44.73
your questions and we do
appreciate that very much.
00:01:44.93\00:01:46.87
We know that we have
talked about a number of things
00:01:47.10\00:01:50.47
in our last program
that housecalls@3abn.org
00:01:50.67\00:01:53.88
anywhere from this
planet, anywhere you are,
00:01:54.11\00:01:56.95
if you have a computer
you can send your questions.
00:01:57.15\00:01:59.11
For those of you
who send snail mail.
00:01:59.31\00:02:01.25
Most of you know, the
3ABN address, PO Box 220,
00:02:01.48\00:02:06.25
West. Frankfort, IL 62896.
00:02:06.45\00:02:08.62
You can send that if
you don't have a computer,
00:02:08.86\00:02:10.19
I was surprised how
many people I said e-mail me
00:02:10.33\00:02:12.73
and lot of people
said, I don't have a computer
00:02:12.93\00:02:14.56
and some people
said, well so let have your
00:02:14.73\00:02:17.47
daughter do it, my daughter
doesn't have a computer.
00:02:17.67\00:02:19.23
Well, do you have a
friend who has computer?
00:02:19.47\00:02:20.80
No, I don't have
anybody who has computer;
00:02:21.04\00:02:22.37
I don't mess with those things.
00:02:22.40\00:02:23.74
Send me mail, send me mail.
00:02:23.84\00:02:26.01
But John we have
some Bible questions
00:02:26.24\00:02:28.31
and we, we have a lot to cover.
00:02:28.54\00:02:29.88
We want to try to sow up
this topic today on health
00:02:30.05\00:02:32.95
and we are gonna get a
lot into the principles
00:02:33.15\00:02:35.48
that the Bible outlines,
00:02:35.68\00:02:37.09
so we won't just tell
you the dos and don'ts.
00:02:37.35\00:02:39.15
What's our question for today?
00:02:39.39\00:02:40.92
John we are, this first
question comes from a place
00:02:41.16\00:02:43.76
that you and I
both love very much.
00:02:43.99\00:02:46.06
You have been there
little more then I have,
00:02:46.29\00:02:47.66
Heaven, but the
Caribbean. Woe! Man a lot.
00:02:47.86\00:02:51.57
Marline is from
Barbados in the Caribbean,
00:02:51.80\00:02:54.87
and she has this question.
She says that the redeemed
00:02:55.10\00:02:57.97
are carp to me Jesus
in the air and shall spin
00:02:58.14\00:03:00.31
to thousand years
in heaven with him,
00:03:00.54\00:03:01.94
had everyone is to be judged.
00:03:02.11\00:03:04.18
I understand that those
who loose out on eternity
00:03:04.41\00:03:07.25
will be judged by the redeemed
00:03:07.48\00:03:08.82
at the end of
the thousand years.
00:03:08.85\00:03:10.19
Of course, we see that
in scripture, but where,
00:03:10.22\00:03:13.19
when are the redeemed judged?
00:03:13.39\00:03:15.36
And so, let's
take a look at that,
00:03:15.59\00:03:17.16
when do the redeemed judged?
00:03:17.36\00:03:18.69
Well, as you know, 3ABN
and this program advocates
00:03:18.73\00:03:23.40
very, very heavily and
strongly you hear often we use
00:03:23.63\00:03:27.40
the term The
Three Angels Messages.
00:03:27.60\00:03:29.44
The Three Angels Messages
are messages that are given
00:03:29.64\00:03:32.04
to this world at the end of time
00:03:32.24\00:03:34.14
just before Christ coming.
00:03:34.34\00:03:36.04
And they are urgent
messages, John aren't they?
00:03:36.28\00:03:39.11
That's right. Very
urgent messages, very urgent,
00:03:39.31\00:03:40.65
once that you
can just slough off,
00:03:40.75\00:03:42.18
you can't pretend
they didn't happen,
00:03:42.42\00:03:43.75
they are essential
for waking up this world
00:03:43.79\00:03:46.05
to the fact that
Jesus is coming soon. Amen.
00:03:46.29\00:03:48.19
And the very first
message is very keen
00:03:48.42\00:03:50.83
helping us
understand when the judgment
00:03:51.03\00:03:53.60
of the redeemed actually occurs?
00:03:53.80\00:03:55.66
And so turn with me
to Revelation chapter 14,
00:03:55.90\00:03:58.53
where we see the first message.
00:03:58.77\00:04:00.20
And I'm gonna read
beginning in verse 6,
00:04:00.40\00:04:03.44
"Then I saw another angel
flying in the midst of heaven."
00:04:03.67\00:04:07.81
Now, John first of all
before I go any further
00:04:08.01\00:04:10.05
what is an angel
represent? What is it?
00:04:10.25\00:04:11.65
A messenger, it's a messenger,
an angel is a messenger.
00:04:11.85\00:04:14.72
So, we know that this
angel is flying throughout
00:04:14.95\00:04:17.02
in the midst of
heaven has a message.
00:04:17.22\00:04:19.52
And it says that "He
has the everlasting gospel
00:04:19.72\00:04:23.46
to preach, there is a
message to those who dwell
00:04:23.66\00:04:26.16
on the face of the
earth to every nation,
00:04:26.39\00:04:28.90
tribe, tongue, and people,
saying with a loud voice,
00:04:29.10\00:04:32.10
fear God, and give glory to Him;
00:04:32.30\00:04:35.60
for the hour of
His judgment has come:
00:04:35.80\00:04:39.41
and worship Him who made
heaven, and earth, the sea,
00:04:39.64\00:04:43.48
and springs of
waters." The hour it says,
00:04:43.68\00:04:45.88
of his judgment
has come, has come.
00:04:46.08\00:04:48.42
So, it's arrived,
and this message is being
00:04:48.65\00:04:51.59
preached to everyone
prior to Jesus coming.
00:04:51.82\00:04:55.09
That's right. So,
now we know that judgment
00:04:55.32\00:04:57.69
does begin before Jesus comes.
00:04:57.89\00:04:59.73
Now, we also have
seen and we could find
00:04:59.96\00:05:02.10
a very clearly in
Revelation chapter 20,
00:05:02.30\00:05:04.77
that the wicked or
judged after that all occurs,
00:05:05.00\00:05:08.04
and after the thousand years.
00:05:08.24\00:05:09.70
So, we know they are,
has got to be two judgments.
00:05:09.94\00:05:11.91
There is another text
that separates those judgments
00:05:12.14\00:05:15.38
that we all are, faced
the judgment seed of Christ,
00:05:15.58\00:05:18.71
some come up to condemnation,
00:05:18.91\00:05:20.72
some come up to receive glory
00:05:20.95\00:05:23.28
and receive a
kingdom, the eternal life.
00:05:23.49\00:05:25.25
And, so those two
happen at different times.
00:05:25.49\00:05:28.19
We also see that
there are two resurrections,
00:05:28.39\00:05:30.19
look at
Revelation chapter 20 again.
00:05:30.43\00:05:31.96
We see the dead who
in Christ who raised;
00:05:32.19\00:05:34.96
raised first
also you find that in
00:05:35.20\00:05:37.70
First Thessalonians chapter
4, and then you also have
00:05:38.50\00:05:41.60
those who
experience a second death.
00:05:41.80\00:05:43.74
That means to
experience the second death
00:05:43.97\00:05:45.61
John you have to be
raised once to die again.
00:05:45.81\00:05:48.74
That's right. So,
there are two resurrections.
00:05:48.98\00:05:51.51
So, now let's
take a look at this.
00:05:51.71\00:05:53.31
Go to our next text, if
there are two judgments,
00:05:53.55\00:05:57.95
who gets judged
first? Who gets judged first?
00:05:58.15\00:06:01.39
Turn with me to
First Peter chapter 4,
00:06:01.62\00:06:04.93
first Peter chapter 4, I
knew you would call on that,
00:06:05.13\00:06:10.03
you wanna read it
for me? Sure, it says,
00:06:10.23\00:06:12.37
"For the time has
come for judgment to begin
00:06:12.60\00:06:19.24
at the house of God; and
if it begins with us first,
00:06:19.47\00:06:23.95
first, what will
be the end be of those
00:06:24.18\00:06:26.28
who do not obey
the gospel of God?
00:06:26.48\00:06:28.75
Now, if the righteous
one is scarcely saved,
00:06:28.95\00:06:32.32
where will the ungodly
and the sinner appear?"
00:06:32.52\00:06:35.66
Alright, so very
interesting here we see judgment
00:06:35.89\00:06:38.99
is to begin at the house
of God, and then it says,
00:06:39.19\00:06:42.50
and if it begins with us
first then what's to happen
00:06:42.70\00:06:45.90
to those who aren't
of the household of God.
00:06:46.07\00:06:48.40
Now, we know
what happens to them?
00:06:48.60\00:06:50.24
Revelation 20 tells us
that, so that's one text
00:06:50.47\00:06:53.14
that tell us the
judgment does begin,
00:06:53.34\00:06:54.84
we have already
seen that the judgment
00:06:55.04\00:06:57.05
has come prior to
Christ coming as well.
00:06:57.25\00:07:00.05
Now, one of the text
I'm gonna give you to get
00:07:00.25\00:07:02.18
some little more meet to
this is Revelation chapter 11,
00:07:02.38\00:07:06.22
and it's says in verse
1, "Then I was given a reed
00:07:06.42\00:07:10.76
like a measuring
rod and the angel stood,
00:07:10.99\00:07:13.09
saying, Rise, and
measure the temple of God,
00:07:13.33\00:07:15.60
the altar, and
those who worship there,
00:07:15.80\00:07:19.40
but leave out the court
which is outside the temple
00:07:19.60\00:07:23.27
and do not measure it, for
it has been given to, who?"
00:07:23.51\00:07:27.31
The gentiles, gentiles,
so, we see the judgment
00:07:27.54\00:07:30.68
there also occurs
the measurement of God;
00:07:30.91\00:07:32.68
God's people
those who worship him.
00:07:32.91\00:07:34.42
The standard,
that's right. That's right,
00:07:34.65\00:07:36.79
so we see clearly here
that there are, there are two
00:07:37.02\00:07:39.19
judgments that they
happen in different times
00:07:39.39\00:07:41.19
and the judgment of
the redeemed have to,
00:07:41.42\00:07:43.46
has to happen
prior to Christ coming.
00:07:43.66\00:07:45.66
We know that
because this is my last text
00:07:45.86\00:07:47.76
and I let you dive
right in here John.
00:07:47.96\00:07:49.26
Okay, Do you
want to say something?
00:07:49.46\00:07:50.80
You know, I'm, I'm just
hovering. Revelation 22,
00:07:50.83\00:07:52.17
you probably
already hovering there.
00:07:52.20\00:07:53.54
Revelation chapter 22,
verse 11, verse 11 and 12,
00:07:54.24\00:08:06.08
12 is the one and I'm
really, I really looking at.
00:08:06.28\00:08:08.15
The verse 11 says,
"He who is unjust let him
00:08:08.35\00:08:12.22
be unjust still:
he who is filthy,
00:08:12.42\00:08:13.96
let him be filthy
still: he who is righteous,
00:08:14.19\00:08:17.19
let him be righteous still:
00:08:17.39\00:08:18.73
he who is holy,
let him be holy still."
00:08:18.76\00:08:20.43
In other words, at
this point whatever state
00:08:20.63\00:08:22.76
you are in, whether you
are outside of the household
00:08:22.96\00:08:25.13
of God or inside, you
will remain in that state.
00:08:25.33\00:08:27.27
Verse 12, the great
dividing of time is to when
00:08:27.47\00:08:31.31
that happens especially the,
00:08:31.51\00:08:32.84
the redeemed finally
receive the reward it says,
00:08:33.01\00:08:35.38
"If Christ behold,
I am coming quickly,
00:08:35.58\00:08:37.61
and My reward is
what? With Me, with me,
00:08:37.81\00:08:41.08
"To give to everyone
according to his work."
00:08:41.32\00:08:44.19
So, therefore when Jesus comes,
00:08:44.42\00:08:46.25
he is bringing with him what?
00:08:46.45\00:08:47.79
His reward and if he is
bringing a reward with him
00:08:47.82\00:08:50.59
does he have to judge people
00:08:50.83\00:08:52.43
before that reward is given.
00:08:52.63\00:08:54.73
As to whether or
not they are redeemed
00:08:54.86\00:08:56.77
or they are lost. That's right.
00:08:56.97\00:08:58.53
And so knowing that
I, I can think of often
00:08:58.73\00:09:01.87
that my parents and I
don't ever recall a time John,
00:09:02.10\00:09:06.31
when my parents came
to me and said to me.
00:09:06.51\00:09:08.31
John we have this
wonderful gift for you.
00:09:08.54\00:09:11.55
Here is your reward and
then said, but you know what,
00:09:11.75\00:09:16.52
but we want you
to do this for it.
00:09:16.72\00:09:18.22
I never had my parents
give me my reward prior
00:09:18.42\00:09:22.09
to giving me my challenge
or my, my specific thing
00:09:22.29\00:09:26.29
that they wanted me to do.
00:09:26.49\00:09:27.86
And it always has
come afterwards John
00:09:28.06\00:09:29.76
you clean up
your house, your room,
00:09:30.00\00:09:31.43
John you make your
bed, John you study
00:09:31.67\00:09:34.00
you got an annual report card,
00:09:34.20\00:09:35.54
whatever it is,
here is your reward.
00:09:35.77\00:09:37.54
The reward comes after always,
00:09:37.77\00:09:40.04
and so Jesus is
coming to give his reward
00:09:40.24\00:09:42.04
to the redeemed that is because
00:09:42.24\00:09:44.11
the redeemed have been judged.
00:09:44.35\00:09:46.08
Now, John I know
there is a lot more to this,
00:09:46.28\00:09:48.22
we know that this all
ties into the prophecy
00:09:48.45\00:09:51.05
of the 2,300
years, the period of 1844,
00:09:51.25\00:09:54.79
where judgment begins, the
cleansing of the sanctuary,
00:09:55.02\00:09:57.36
I'm trying not to go
there because we don't have
00:09:57.56\00:09:59.46
enough time for that,
but I'm sure you have got
00:09:59.66\00:10:01.03
something's to add there
to this whole mix as well,
00:10:01.23\00:10:03.80
they help us
understand judgment.
00:10:04.00\00:10:05.33
Well, in Isaiah 58 verse
1. You know, the Bible talks
00:10:05.40\00:10:09.87
about the fact that the
people of God must be aware
00:10:10.07\00:10:12.41
that danger is coming,
there is a judgment coming.
00:10:12.61\00:10:16.95
Ecclesiastes
chapter 12, verse 13 and 14.
00:10:17.15\00:10:21.72
The Bible says, "Fear God
and keep his commandments:
00:10:21.92\00:10:25.75
for this is the
whole duty of man.
00:10:25.95\00:10:27.72
For God shall bring
every work into judgment,
00:10:27.92\00:10:30.66
with every secret thing,
00:10:30.86\00:10:32.33
whether it be good
or whether it be evil."
00:10:32.56\00:10:34.66
That's Ecclesiastes chapter
12 verse 13 and verse 14.
00:10:34.86\00:10:37.60
Remember, now the
creator in the days thy youth.
00:10:38.43\00:10:41.14
Once again in a
statement saying that the,
00:10:41.34\00:10:43.74
the Lord is encouraging
the young people to remember,
00:10:43.94\00:10:46.61
the creator,
while they are young
00:10:46.84\00:10:48.88
and that applies
not to just teenagers,
00:10:49.08\00:10:50.78
but the text actually
means remember the creator
00:10:50.98\00:10:53.38
before you get any older,
00:10:53.62\00:10:54.95
but when you think of Isaiah
58, the Bible says verse 1
00:10:55.02\00:10:58.49
"A lift up thy voice like
a trumpet, and show my people
00:10:58.69\00:11:03.16
their transgressions, and
the house of Jacob their sins.
00:11:03.36\00:11:06.39
The reason, why the language
is used lift up thy voice
00:11:06.59\00:11:09.36
like a trumpet, lift up
your voice like a trumpet,
00:11:09.56\00:11:12.07
is before the Day of Judgment
in the economy of Israel.
00:11:12.33\00:11:16.04
The trumpet was
blown ten days before
00:11:16.24\00:11:19.21
the Day of Atonement
services were all over.
00:11:19.41\00:11:21.94
And they knew that,
when the atonement services
00:11:22.14\00:11:24.38
came and past, all those
who sins were not atoned for.
00:11:24.58\00:11:28.75
We are now in, in
condemnation, they were not
00:11:28.95\00:11:33.49
in reward as John use
the comparison, condemnation,
00:11:33.69\00:11:36.89
and they were not
looking for any good reward,
00:11:37.09\00:11:39.33
they were banished from
the camp of the Israelites
00:11:39.53\00:11:41.53
as they celebrated
the Feast of tabernacles,
00:11:41.76\00:11:45.53
they celebrated for seven
days this wonderful riddance
00:11:45.73\00:11:50.01
of their sins, the
blotting out of all their sins.
00:11:50.21\00:11:52.27
And so in, in short the
saints are looking forward
00:11:52.47\00:11:56.75
to being in heaven celebrating
00:11:56.98\00:11:58.78
the removal of sin forever.
00:11:59.01\00:12:01.62
The blotting out
of their sin and Peter
00:12:01.82\00:12:04.59
on the day of
Pentecost, he says, repent
00:12:04.82\00:12:06.15
and be converted that
your sins maybe blotted out.
00:12:06.25\00:12:08.92
When the time
of refreshing comes
00:12:09.12\00:12:10.99
from the presence of the Lord.
00:12:11.19\00:12:12.53
So, the saints
are in judgment now.
00:12:12.56\00:12:15.90
Now, here is the
reason why? Somebody may say,
00:12:16.13\00:12:19.07
well if you are saint,
why be in judgment because
00:12:19.27\00:12:21.47
your profession in other
words what you profess to be,
00:12:21.67\00:12:25.01
and what you actually
are, is what the issue is?
00:12:25.21\00:12:28.68
Some people say I'm
Christian but people don't know
00:12:28.88\00:12:31.85
that in their lives
outside of the visible life
00:12:32.05\00:12:34.72
they live, that they are
not living Christian lives.
00:12:34.92\00:12:37.29
So, the Lord is saying,
I'm going to examine your life,
00:12:37.49\00:12:40.19
so that when you
are saved those who know
00:12:40.39\00:12:43.93
that you are saved, we
will see that your life
00:12:44.13\00:12:45.83
in private measured up
with your life in public,
00:12:46.03\00:12:49.53
but there those who
are Christians in public
00:12:49.73\00:12:52.33
that are anything,
but Christians in private.
00:12:52.57\00:12:54.94
And so the reason
why the judgment begins
00:12:55.14\00:12:57.04
at God's house
00:12:57.27\00:12:59.01
is our profession
must match our works,
00:12:59.24\00:13:05.41
not the other way around.
00:13:05.61\00:13:07.45
Our profession and our
works must mess together.
00:13:07.68\00:13:10.15
So, God the reason why
we are judged is God says,
00:13:10.35\00:13:14.02
I know you say
you are Christians,
00:13:14.22\00:13:15.92
but the world needs to
know what you really are.
00:13:16.12\00:13:19.23
And so when we are saved
00:13:19.43\00:13:21.46
and we are sealed as
Revelation 22:11 says,
00:13:21.70\00:13:24.90
"If you are unjust, you
see that where you are filthy,
00:13:25.10\00:13:27.10
you stay there
with your righteous,
00:13:27.30\00:13:28.64
you stay there with
your holy, you stay that way.
00:13:28.67\00:13:30.01
When we are sealed
there is no more judgment,
00:13:30.14\00:13:32.47
so the word
judgment has a number of,
00:13:32.67\00:13:34.68
of actual applications.
One is investigation
00:13:34.88\00:13:38.51
a record scene,
every acquisition,
00:13:38.71\00:13:40.68
there is an
investigation all the evidence
00:13:40.88\00:13:42.85
is need to be produced,
where are the evidences is in
00:13:43.05\00:13:45.19
this case being produced
from the works in our lives.
00:13:45.39\00:13:48.99
Faith without works is dead.
00:13:49.19\00:13:51.49
So, our works must
measure up with our profession.
00:13:51.69\00:13:55.46
That' right, so the things
that are been written down
00:13:55.66\00:13:57.47
by the angels in the
book. The Book of Life,
00:13:57.70\00:13:59.70
if there is a Book
of Life there is also
00:13:59.93\00:14:02.04
a book of death, there
is a book of remembrance.
00:14:02.24\00:14:04.07
So, the Bible
eludes the Book of Death,
00:14:04.27\00:14:07.51
but we know that if
you are not written in the
00:14:07.71\00:14:09.04
Book of Life then you
are not gonna be saved,
00:14:09.18\00:14:11.01
if your name is not
written there as the song writer
00:14:11.25\00:14:13.58
says, you won't be in
the kingdom, but so your,
00:14:13.75\00:14:17.75
your works are being
written there, but now
00:14:18.55\00:14:20.39
what is the blotting out
have to do with anything?
00:14:20.59\00:14:22.36
All the things
you have done wrong,
00:14:22.56\00:14:24.79
there is a clear
record taken of that,
00:14:24.99\00:14:27.56
the Bible says, by
your words shall you be
00:14:27.76\00:14:29.93
justified by your
words, shall you be condemn,
00:14:30.13\00:14:32.87
but notice, there is an
investigation before there
00:14:33.07\00:14:35.90
is condemnation, here is
the beauty of thou friends.
00:14:36.14\00:14:39.11
John 3:17, "For God sent
not his Son into the world
00:14:39.31\00:14:44.68
to condemn the world, but
that the world through him
00:14:44.88\00:14:47.65
might be saved." So,
Jesus was sent, not to condemn
00:14:47.85\00:14:50.12
John or I, but he was
sent to all for salvation.
00:14:50.32\00:14:52.99
Were we lost before
Jesus, we were already lost,
00:14:53.22\00:14:57.69
he didn't come to
say to us, you lost,
00:14:57.89\00:14:59.53
and you are gonna say that way,
00:14:59.73\00:15:01.46
he came to say it
was because you are lost,
00:15:01.66\00:15:03.80
I'm offering you different way.
00:15:04.00\00:15:05.33
Yeah, in the fact
he goes on to say,
00:15:05.50\00:15:06.84
this is the condemnation.
And what is the way,
00:15:06.94\00:15:09.84
the reason that
they are condemned?
00:15:10.04\00:15:11.37
Because they love
darkness rather than light.
00:15:11.47\00:15:13.01
They love darkness
rather than light that means
00:15:13.24\00:15:14.71
that they actually
chose themselves as to whether
00:15:14.91\00:15:17.28
or not they are
lost or they are saved.
00:15:17.51\00:15:18.95
So, Jesus
wasn't condemning them.
00:15:19.15\00:15:20.48
You know, I like the
picture that you paint
00:15:20.62\00:15:21.95
there in fact; Matthew 22
paints also another picture.
00:15:22.02\00:15:25.15
Okay, of the judgment
seen, which is he conscious
00:15:25.32\00:15:27.66
here in, in a
parable of a wedding hall
00:15:27.86\00:15:30.36
that's filled
with with guests. Okay
00:15:30.56\00:15:31.96
Chapter 22 and it
begins around verse 1.
00:15:32.19\00:15:34.56
I'm not gonna read
the whole thing here,
00:15:34.73\00:15:36.06
I'm gonna tell you the story.
00:15:36.10\00:15:37.43
The several
invitations go out to people
00:15:38.70\00:15:40.04
to come to the wedding.
Finally, the third invitation
00:15:40.07\00:15:41.67
comes out because the
other first invitations
00:15:41.87\00:15:43.61
were not really
received very well.
00:15:43.84\00:15:45.47
In fact, what
happened was is they basically,
00:15:45.71\00:15:47.78
we are not interested,
we are doing another things
00:15:48.01\00:15:49.84
that cares of this
life. They were more concerned
00:15:50.05\00:15:52.41
about then joining
and following Christ,
00:15:52.65\00:15:54.82
but here we have in the
third call, verse 9 it says,
00:15:55.02\00:15:59.25
therefore, and
this is the king saying,
00:15:59.45\00:16:02.76
"Go ye into the highways,
and as many as you find,
00:16:02.96\00:16:04.89
invite to the wedding.
So, the servants went out
00:16:05.13\00:16:06.93
into the highways,
and gathered together
00:16:07.13\00:16:08.43
all whom they found,
both what? Bad and good:
00:16:08.46\00:16:13.13
and the wedding hall
was filled with guests.
00:16:13.34\00:16:16.91
In other words, in the
wedding hall, in attendance
00:16:17.11\00:16:19.51
are the wheat and the
tares, the bad and the good.
00:16:19.74\00:16:23.21
They have all profess
Christ because the only way
00:16:23.41\00:16:25.38
you get into the
wedding is to believe.
00:16:25.55\00:16:27.25
And I say that because if
you have look at the parable
00:16:27.48\00:16:30.59
of the ten versions, it
says, those that were ready
00:16:30.79\00:16:32.52
went in with in
him to the wedding.
00:16:32.72\00:16:34.06
You can't get in unless
you profess faith in Christ.
00:16:34.29\00:16:37.76
That's right. So, now
this wedding hall is filled
00:16:37.96\00:16:40.26
with guests, but some
are bad and some are good.
00:16:40.46\00:16:42.53
Yes, they all have been,
have been the consciousness
00:16:42.73\00:16:45.67
have been pricked
by the Holy Spirit,
00:16:45.90\00:16:47.37
and they have,
they accept the Christ,
00:16:47.57\00:16:48.90
but now let's see if
their fruits still bears way,
00:16:48.94\00:16:51.77
and that's what you
are saying John profession
00:16:52.01\00:16:53.41
is one thing, but
what are their works?
00:16:53.61\00:16:56.11
Then it's says in verse
11 in Matthew, Matthew 22,
00:16:56.31\00:16:59.25
"When the king came into
see or inspect the guests,
00:16:59.45\00:17:03.82
he saw a man there who
did not have on a wedding
00:17:04.02\00:17:07.06
garmet. So, we have
said to him, Friend,
00:17:07.26\00:17:09.96
how did you come in here
without a wedding garment?
00:17:10.19\00:17:12.43
And his friend was
speechless and then he says,
00:17:12.66\00:17:16.40
bind his hand and foot and
cast him in outer darkness.
00:17:16.60\00:17:19.20
Now, I believe John
when he was speechless,
00:17:19.23\00:17:22.54
he looked down because
he had a wedding garment in,
00:17:22.77\00:17:25.67
see what's the only way
to get into the wedding?
00:17:25.87\00:17:27.21
Is for Christ to
put a garment on you.
00:17:27.34\00:17:30.31
So, when he said,
friend how did you get in here
00:17:30.55\00:17:32.61
without a wedding garment?
00:17:32.85\00:17:34.18
The friend looked down
and said, Oh! I had one on,
00:17:34.22\00:17:36.05
he is thinking what?
And he was speechless
00:17:36.25\00:17:39.42
because he expected to
find it, but he did not find it.
00:17:39.65\00:17:43.09
Now, what happen to him?
Well, judgment per se had
00:17:43.32\00:17:47.93
been rendered and he was
cast out to outer darkness.
00:17:48.10\00:17:50.47
So, what we see
here is this wedding hall
00:17:50.70\00:17:53.10
filled with guests,
every time a believer professes
00:17:53.30\00:17:56.24
faith in Jesus Christ and
accepts him as their savior,
00:17:56.44\00:17:59.51
they enter that wedding
hall and they become a guest
00:17:59.71\00:18:02.81
at the wedding that
is ongoing right now
00:18:03.01\00:18:04.91
in the heavens above,
isn't that a beautiful picture?
00:18:05.11\00:18:07.75
It is, and you know,
what's the wonderful about
00:18:07.95\00:18:09.52
that is that, we are
invited, we are invited in,
00:18:09.72\00:18:12.72
but staying in is the
real issue. So, this once saved
00:18:12.95\00:18:18.46
always saved idea is
bunked by that very verse.
00:18:18.73\00:18:23.06
Because they were in
there, but those who were
00:18:23.30\00:18:25.17
in the wedding
hall, where good and bad
00:18:25.37\00:18:28.47
they have responded to
the call like many people
00:18:28.67\00:18:31.54
responded to call,
they come to the church.
00:18:31.74\00:18:33.61
And they were given a garment.
00:18:33.81\00:18:35.14
But here is
where the problem was,
00:18:35.18\00:18:36.51
look at verse 15 of
Revelation chapter 16.
00:18:36.54\00:18:39.28
"Behold, I am coming as a thief.
00:18:39.51\00:18:42.62
Blessed is he who
watches, and keeps his garment,
00:18:42.85\00:18:47.16
that's the point,
you just made John.
00:18:47.36\00:18:48.69
That's right. He
had on the garment,
00:18:48.82\00:18:50.16
but he didn't keep
it, keeps his garment,
00:18:50.19\00:18:52.23
lest he walk naked,
and they see his shame.
00:18:52.46\00:18:56.93
The reason why he
didn't have a thing to say,
00:18:57.17\00:18:59.63
he looked down and
he saw his shame. Yeah.
00:18:59.83\00:19:03.14
And they said you can't
go into the wedding feast.
00:19:03.17\00:19:06.47
Right, which is the
reception hall for all those
00:19:06.68\00:19:09.91
who have been married
to Christ in his kingdom.
00:19:10.11\00:19:12.08
That's right, spoke wonderful.
00:19:12.28\00:19:13.88
Amen beautiful picture.
00:19:14.12\00:19:15.45
You know, we spend all
the time on this particular
00:19:15.48\00:19:16.82
question because this
is a serious issue about
00:19:16.85\00:19:18.32
judgment about being
saved, about being lost.
00:19:18.52\00:19:20.59
The beauty of this
friends is John 3:17,
00:19:20.79\00:19:22.82
God didn't sent
Jesus Christ to condemn us,
00:19:23.02\00:19:25.39
but that we might be
saved. Condemnation comes
00:19:25.56\00:19:27.86
because the light comes
and we were rather the darkness
00:19:28.06\00:19:30.90
than the light. I pray
that you make a decision
00:19:31.10\00:19:33.10
to accept the light.
And the light sometimes
00:19:33.30\00:19:36.14
is bright, but we don't
wanna burn you with the light
00:19:36.37\00:19:39.37
that we have been sharing.
00:19:39.64\00:19:40.98
We want that light that
comes from the word of God
00:19:41.01\00:19:43.04
to guide you. His
word is a lamp to our feet
00:19:43.24\00:19:45.78
and a light to our path.
00:19:45.98\00:19:47.42
Anymore questions on the
topic or any other questions
00:19:47.62\00:19:49.48
send those to
Housecalls@3abn.Org
00:19:49.68\00:19:52.25
that's Housecalls@3abn.org.
00:19:52.45\00:19:55.76
We are gonna dive
into our topic today,
00:19:55.99\00:19:57.33
John because we are
gonna wind it up today.
00:19:57.43\00:19:58.76
There are lot of things
that we are gonna talk about,
00:19:58.86\00:20:00.30
we ended, I think, how
do we end our last program?
00:20:00.53\00:20:04.40
Well, we, we were
talking about you know,
00:20:04.63\00:20:07.00
through the last program
we talked about wine and,
00:20:07.24\00:20:08.90
and alcohol and so forth.
We talked little bit about
00:20:08.94\00:20:11.31
foods clean and
unclean, cigarettes,
00:20:11.54\00:20:13.74
and then, yeah, and cigarettes,
00:20:13.98\00:20:15.31
and then we got to the
main point of the whole thing,
00:20:15.34\00:20:17.25
which is giving
glory to God in our bodies.
00:20:17.48\00:20:19.08
And so now I think we
are gonna kind a transition
00:20:19.88\00:20:21.38
to a conclusion of
that, which is how do we give
00:20:21.62\00:20:23.75
glory to God in
our bodies. Good idea.
00:20:23.99\00:20:25.72
And one of those
things is the subject
00:20:25.95\00:20:27.29
of obedience itself.
We give glory because
00:20:27.32\00:20:29.89
we respond to God's word
and what God's word tells us.
00:20:30.09\00:20:32.99
Okay. And so you
know, many will say,
00:20:33.23\00:20:35.26
well these
things aren't important.
00:20:35.50\00:20:36.83
We can see them in God's
word, but you know, I really
00:20:36.90\00:20:38.40
don't think that God
would judge me in those matters.
00:20:38.63\00:20:41.07
Well we know
judgment is beginning now like
00:20:41.27\00:20:43.97
we talked about. And
our books are opened,
00:20:44.21\00:20:46.71
what's that phrase, I
can read you like a, book,
00:20:46.94\00:20:50.81
open book, if our books
are open then shouldn't we
00:20:51.01\00:20:55.02
then have that book
the testimony of praise
00:20:55.25\00:20:57.52
to our Father and
Jesus Christ, absolutely.
00:20:57.75\00:21:00.92
And so we do that in
our lifestyle and so yes
00:21:01.12\00:21:04.29
we talked about
alcohol, we talked about clean
00:21:04.53\00:21:05.86
and unclean foods, but
there are some other things
00:21:06.06\00:21:08.43
you know one of the things
that jumps out of me here,
00:21:08.63\00:21:10.40
John is that. You
know, what we allow our eyes
00:21:10.63\00:21:12.77
to take in. You know, I
know we are talking about
00:21:13.03\00:21:16.04
diet and so forth, but
just let's touch briefly because
00:21:16.27\00:21:18.57
we are talking about giving
glory to God in our bodies.
00:21:18.77\00:21:20.64
And, and Paul
says, that when we,
00:21:20.88\00:21:22.78
when we engage
in sexual immorality
00:21:22.81\00:21:25.15
We actually sin
against our own body.
00:21:25.38\00:21:27.02
That's a very, very good point.
00:21:27.25\00:21:29.52
And the impact is that
what we taking to our eyes,
00:21:29.75\00:21:32.35
affects also
physically even our body.
00:21:32.59\00:21:36.62
And so, how should we
conduct ourselves in areas
00:21:36.86\00:21:40.13
of being you know,
clean. And being and looking
00:21:40.36\00:21:44.20
at pure things and so forth.
00:21:44.40\00:21:45.73
Of course, we read
in, in Philippians.
00:21:45.83\00:21:47.90
Whatsoever things are.
Oh! Philippians 4:8. 4:8
00:21:48.14\00:21:52.34
and whatsoever
things are lovely, lovely.
00:21:52.57\00:21:54.38
I can't recite
them exactly by heart,
00:21:54.58\00:21:56.04
whatsoever things are lovely,
00:21:56.24\00:21:57.58
whatsoever things are pure,
00:21:57.75\00:21:59.08
whatsoever things are honest,
00:21:59.11\00:22:00.52
whatsoever things are
just, if there will be anything
00:22:00.55\00:22:03.52
good and
anything worthy of praise,
00:22:03.72\00:22:05.79
think on these
things. Yes. So, an essence,
00:22:05.99\00:22:08.22
notice what he said,
think on these things.
00:22:08.42\00:22:10.43
In other words, what
goes into the man's mind,
00:22:10.66\00:22:12.76
into the woman's mind,
the boys mind; the girls mind
00:22:12.96\00:22:15.46
will become the
subject of their thoughts?
00:22:15.50\00:22:17.47
And you know,
Satan is in, what I call
00:22:17.67\00:22:20.57
the subliminal war of
trying to setup a theatre
00:22:20.77\00:22:26.14
in our minds. He is
trying to put the video tape
00:22:26.37\00:22:29.08
and that he wants to play
over and over and over again.
00:22:29.31\00:22:31.91
And he does it subliminally
through advertising,
00:22:32.11\00:22:34.75
through phrases
that people may throw out
00:22:34.95\00:22:37.05
in a joking setting,
that will plant a seed
00:22:37.29\00:22:40.36
that will germinate, if
our minds are not guarded.
00:22:40.56\00:22:42.76
Yeah. And else way
by the word of God.
00:22:42.96\00:22:44.96
You know, and I'm
trying to tie the sin here,
00:22:45.16\00:22:46.96
you know, to
the subject of diet,
00:22:47.20\00:22:48.50
which is what we are
talking about because
00:22:48.53\00:22:50.63
we are not just talking
about sexual immorality.
00:22:50.90\00:22:53.37
We are talking about
the impact that the things
00:22:53.57\00:22:56.00
around us has on even
our diet. So, I'm amazed John
00:22:56.20\00:23:00.28
outside to appear
for a minute or back up.
00:23:00.48\00:23:02.81
I'm amazed how one
side of Hollywood can say
00:23:03.04\00:23:07.08
that videos that kids playing
stuff really doesn't have
00:23:07.28\00:23:10.89
any impact on, you
know, shooting their friends
00:23:11.09\00:23:13.15
or shooting their teachers,
and doing all the stuff.
00:23:13.39\00:23:15.22
You know, that's just
something that they do it,
00:23:15.42\00:23:17.09
doesn't, they
don't have to do that,
00:23:17.33\00:23:18.66
they doesn't make
them respond in that way,
00:23:18.79\00:23:21.76
but my simple
question for Hollywood is,
00:23:21.96\00:23:25.87
then what are commercials for?
00:23:26.10\00:23:27.97
If what you see doesn't
cause a behavioral response,
00:23:28.20\00:23:33.31
what are commercials for?
00:23:33.51\00:23:36.08
There is no
reason for commercials,
00:23:36.31\00:23:39.38
if this not gonna cause
you to go buy their product.
00:23:39.58\00:23:42.75
Right. So, get rid
off commercials Hollywood,
00:23:42.95\00:23:45.59
it doesn't make you do anything.
00:23:45.82\00:23:47.16
You know, how much
millions as you may know,
00:23:47.26\00:23:49.66
millions and millions
of dollars of research
00:23:49.86\00:23:53.36
going to
commercials because 15 seconds,
00:23:53.56\00:23:55.96
20 seconds of
minute, a minute is a long,
00:23:56.16\00:23:58.60
long eternity for commercial.
00:23:58.83\00:24:01.00
Yet that timeframe is
given, short span of blurb,
00:24:01.20\00:24:05.41
you know, like
the geico commercial.
00:24:05.64\00:24:07.31
It's just I'm not
giving any notice to any,
00:24:07.54\00:24:11.21
just stressing your
brain. If you state because,
00:24:11.41\00:24:12.91
it's the dumb as commercial.
00:24:13.15\00:24:14.48
Ice applied
directly to the forehead,
00:24:14.55\00:24:16.35
apply directly to the forehead,
00:24:16.58\00:24:17.92
apply directly to the forehead,
00:24:17.95\00:24:19.29
I mean, how did you
forget that? Yeah. You know,
00:24:19.32\00:24:23.02
and, and so the
commercials do their jobs,
00:24:23.26\00:24:25.96
but Satan is behind lot of
these things that he puts on
00:24:26.16\00:24:29.26
he puts on
television to get our minds
00:24:29.46\00:24:32.50
to think in a certain way.
00:24:32.73\00:24:34.07
This is a very
interesting statistics
00:24:34.10\00:24:36.00
and you mentioned
videogames and I thought
00:24:36.20\00:24:37.54
that was very
pretty interesting.
00:24:37.74\00:24:39.07
They try to side, why
there are so much violence
00:24:39.11\00:24:41.08
in America, and a
national pole pointed out that
00:24:41.91\00:24:44.45
because we have many
violent videogames in America,
00:24:44.65\00:24:47.32
but somebody said well
now if we follow that train
00:24:47.55\00:24:50.32
of thought, let's go ahead
and apply that to the world.
00:24:50.49\00:24:53.36
And they said,
while you go to Japan,
00:24:53.59\00:24:55.72
where violence
is a very, very low
00:24:55.92\00:24:58.46
and they have
tons of more videogames
00:24:58.66\00:25:01.30
with violent content then we do,
00:25:01.50\00:25:03.10
so what happened here
that didn't happen there?
00:25:03.30\00:25:06.77
And they came to narrow
it down with this reality.
00:25:06.97\00:25:09.47
Out of all the countries
that are, that are modernized
00:25:09.67\00:25:12.34
and that have all the
effect of the videogames,
00:25:12.57\00:25:14.48
whatever the culture
that is, they said, one thing
00:25:14.71\00:25:17.25
that is true here that is
not true in all those other
00:25:17.45\00:25:18.98
countries is the United
States is the number one
00:25:19.18\00:25:21.82
exporting country of,
of firearms in the world.
00:25:22.02\00:25:25.42
If so the very
thing that we try to,
00:25:25.65\00:25:28.19
try to keep off the
streets, is the very thing
00:25:28.42\00:25:31.03
that we are the
heaviest market reserve
00:25:31.23\00:25:32.63
and not saying
that you can't have them
00:25:32.86\00:25:35.46
and we know guns
don't kill people,
00:25:35.66\00:25:37.17
but what happens is our society.
00:25:37.40\00:25:39.17
So, conditions itself,
and is so available and where
00:25:39.40\00:25:42.67
I'm going with this is
the thing that we make most
00:25:42.90\00:25:44.81
available to us, if our
minds are not available to God,
00:25:45.04\00:25:47.98
those things become
a bad and not a good.
00:25:48.18\00:25:50.95
Yeah, you know, and the
other thing too is that,
00:25:51.18\00:25:52.78
we may not have seen
the true fruit of this yet.
00:25:53.05\00:25:55.15
Oh! Not yet, this
is just beginning,
00:25:55.38\00:25:57.09
I see that because
sometimes it takes a while
00:25:57.35\00:25:59.95
to bears it's fruit.
There are some also some studies
00:26:00.26\00:26:03.96
that show that even in
America, where these violent
00:26:04.16\00:26:07.36
videos are that we
aren't see an increase,
00:26:07.56\00:26:10.27
we actually see
decrease in, in violent,
00:26:10.47\00:26:13.37
you know cases of,
of murder or a crime.
00:26:13.57\00:26:16.91
And so then in the
case, I'm wondering okay,
00:26:17.14\00:26:19.54
there is no correlation
at all, but one of the things
00:26:19.77\00:26:22.54
that I know that Satan
does that he is very subtle.
00:26:22.74\00:26:24.68
He is very
deceptive, you know, if it was,
00:26:24.88\00:26:27.22
if it was a blatant all of
this in turn on this picket,
00:26:27.42\00:26:29.32
lots of violence with
these videos, what will we do,
00:26:29.55\00:26:31.95
get rid of the videos?
00:26:32.15\00:26:33.49
But he wants to ease
us end of these things.
00:26:33.52\00:26:35.36
And so Jesus came, when he came
00:26:35.59\00:26:38.06
and he was
talking to his disciples,
00:26:38.29\00:26:39.93
the followers initially
in the Sermon on the Mount.
00:26:40.13\00:26:42.26
He didn't lower
the bar on his turn,
00:26:42.46\00:26:44.80
he raised the bar
and what do they say
00:26:45.00\00:26:46.40
in regard to murder,
in regard to stealing,
00:26:46.60\00:26:50.17
regard to those
things. He says if you think
00:26:50.41\00:26:53.74
evil in your heart,
then you actually committed
00:26:53.94\00:26:57.71
that evil in real life.
And I'm only paraphrasing
00:26:57.91\00:26:59.91
because he says that on
a spectrum it's very large.
00:27:00.18\00:27:02.32
Right. Hatred, stealing,
all those things, adultery,
00:27:02.55\00:27:06.99
we see these things and
we think well just because
00:27:07.19\00:27:09.69
we sought we
didn't really do it,
00:27:09.86\00:27:12.19
but what is Jesus saying
that in heaven as recorded
00:27:12.43\00:27:14.93
the act, as if we
have done it because
00:27:15.16\00:27:18.43
those things have
come into our minds.
00:27:18.67\00:27:20.27
And so, should we be
so deceived that we think
00:27:20.50\00:27:22.94
that just because
we are playing a video
00:27:23.14\00:27:24.67
or doing another things
and letting things in it,
00:27:24.87\00:27:26.21
we are not
actually doing these things.
00:27:26.37\00:27:27.71
That somehow is
not causing us harm,
00:27:27.78\00:27:29.84
it's causing us harm, I
just don't think we have seen
00:27:30.08\00:27:32.58
the fruit of
that fully yet. Right,
00:27:32.78\00:27:34.48
it's growing slowly,
it's coming to fruition.
00:27:34.68\00:27:37.62
Yes. And that's why I
said the fruit of that,
00:27:37.82\00:27:39.79
we see the, we know
the roots are there,
00:27:39.99\00:27:42.72
we see the tree
growing up but we haven't seen
00:27:42.92\00:27:44.83
the fruits yet. And
unfortunately, if the tree
00:27:45.03\00:27:47.86
is cancerous, if the
tree is, is, is infested
00:27:48.03\00:27:50.87
the fruits are
going to be infested.
00:27:51.07\00:27:52.40
So, you can't get up
good thing out of a bad thing.
00:27:52.43\00:27:56.60
The Lord says, bad trees
cannot bring forth good fruit
00:27:56.77\00:28:00.34
and good trees can't
bring forth bad fruit.
00:28:00.54\00:28:02.68
Now, the Lord can find
bad people or good people
00:28:02.91\00:28:06.05
in bad cities or
cause us to be changed,
00:28:06.28\00:28:09.72
but when it comes to
fruit, the tree produces the
00:28:09.95\00:28:12.99
the fruit, if it's good,
good fruit bad, bad fruit.
00:28:13.19\00:28:16.06
That's right, you
know, it' just in Roman 6:16,
00:28:16.26\00:28:19.53
we can go to text
here. Sure. And kind a stay
00:28:19.76\00:28:22.36
in line with our outline,
but it says do you not know
00:28:22.56\00:28:25.43
that to whom you present
yourselves slaves to obey.
00:28:25.63\00:28:29.60
You are that one
slaves whom you obey?
00:28:29.80\00:28:32.41
Where there sin leading to death
00:28:32.61\00:28:34.61
or obedience
leading to righteousness.
00:28:34.81\00:28:37.48
So, when you yield
just like going over,
00:28:37.71\00:28:40.42
just like going
over sliding board,
00:28:40.62\00:28:42.55
have your ever been
to those water parks,
00:28:42.72\00:28:44.25
where they have these
big sliding boards John.
00:28:44.45\00:28:46.02
I mean you are so
tall, lots of fun,
00:28:46.22\00:28:47.56
you are like a human
sliding board yourself. 6:10,
00:28:47.59\00:28:50.69
he doesn't look
that, but he is 6'10".
00:28:50.93\00:28:53.70
Actually, I'm about a
half inch shy of that, 6-91/2
00:28:53.93\00:28:57.60
but you never
see him barefooted,
00:28:57.80\00:28:59.80
6'10", but people always see me
00:29:00.10\00:29:03.77
and they say man you are tall,
00:29:03.97\00:29:05.31
I said, you haven't seen height,
00:29:05.34\00:29:06.68
you got to see my
friend John Stanton,
00:29:06.71\00:29:08.04
he is tall. I
looked short around him,
00:29:08.18\00:29:10.38
but my point is,
sinners like a sliding board,
00:29:10.58\00:29:13.11
those are very
deep sliding boards.
00:29:13.31\00:29:15.52
You know, the, the,
the water is constantly
00:29:15.75\00:29:17.89
running to keep it lubricated.
00:29:18.12\00:29:19.59
And I, I never
forget going to one of those
00:29:19.79\00:29:22.29
water parks, when I
lived in Orlando, Florida
00:29:22.49\00:29:24.76
and laying flat, you
lay flat and you put your
00:29:24.96\00:29:27.00
arm across, hands
across your chest,
00:29:27.20\00:29:28.80
and the guys
holding onto this mat,
00:29:29.03\00:29:31.17
and he says, are you
ready? And before you say, yes,
00:29:31.37\00:29:34.37
he lets you go, and you
think, I didn't say yes, yes.
00:29:34.64\00:29:38.81
There is no
turning back. That's right.
00:29:39.01\00:29:40.34
It's a downhill slide,
sin is often like that,
00:29:40.51\00:29:43.21
and you gain speed
on you way down too,
00:29:43.45\00:29:45.01
you don't lose speed at first.
00:29:45.21\00:29:46.75
You go down fast, now
follow the analogy here
00:29:46.98\00:29:49.42
because this has a,
this has a point to it,
00:29:49.62\00:29:51.19
we often think of sin
has something that takes us
00:29:51.39\00:29:53.62
higher and higher
and higher and higher,
00:29:53.82\00:29:57.83
but when you are at
the apex of your sin
00:29:58.06\00:30:00.10
you go down real
fast. And so friends
00:30:00.33\00:30:03.40
that's how sin is
just like a sliding board
00:30:03.60\00:30:05.37
that's constantly
lubricated by temptation
00:30:05.57\00:30:07.97
and the devil says, are
you ready before you even give
00:30:08.20\00:30:12.94
any acknowledgment
you are going downhill
00:30:13.14\00:30:16.24
and you are going down fast.
00:30:16.44\00:30:17.78
So try to avoid the
things that will cause us that,
00:30:17.81\00:30:20.88
here is the key that can
cause you to go downhill.
00:30:21.08\00:30:24.19
People discuss, some
people will say it won't
00:30:24.49\00:30:26.82
cause me to go downhill,
but if you can avoid it.
00:30:27.02\00:30:29.76
And this isn't the principle
of the whole thing anyway.
00:30:29.96\00:30:31.73
You are slaves
to one to the other.
00:30:31.96\00:30:33.73
You know, there is no
middle ground we can't say
00:30:33.96\00:30:35.26
you know, what I'm
just gonna be my own person,
00:30:35.40\00:30:37.33
I'm not gonna be
slave to anybody.
00:30:37.57\00:30:38.90
I am sorry you
are slave to Christ
00:30:38.93\00:30:41.10
or you are slave to the enemy.
00:30:41.34\00:30:42.80
And so we've got to choose
00:30:43.04\00:30:44.37
and it's how we
conduct our lives, John.
00:30:44.64\00:30:47.51
In diet, in all these
things we're talking about,
00:30:47.74\00:30:51.45
all the lifestyle issues
that determine whose slave
00:30:51.65\00:30:53.65
we are, that's what
Roman 6:16 is saying.
00:30:53.85\00:30:56.75
Go head, go ahead, now.
00:30:56.95\00:30:59.25
But listen to this and
I want to make this point
00:30:59.49\00:31:01.26
now I am saying this,
I am saying praise God.
00:31:01.46\00:31:03.93
I haven't had a cold;
that is cold in years.
00:31:04.13\00:31:06.76
Now why shouldn't I get a cold?
00:31:07.00\00:31:08.30
I haven't had a cold in
years, but one of the reasons
00:31:08.33\00:31:10.20
why is because
whenever my wife and I
00:31:10.43\00:31:12.80
are in any place and
we are shaking hands,
00:31:13.00\00:31:14.34
we wash our hands frequently.
00:31:14.40\00:31:17.04
And you don't touch your
face after you doing that?
00:31:17.24\00:31:18.97
We don't touch our
face, put our fingers
00:31:19.21\00:31:20.54
in our mouths, you
know, when you are in crowds
00:31:20.64\00:31:22.31
people do that they
tend to touch surfaces
00:31:22.51\00:31:23.98
and put their hands in
their mouth before they eat
00:31:24.18\00:31:25.88
food or eat their food
without washing their hands
00:31:26.08\00:31:28.05
or some people sadly
enough to use the rest room
00:31:28.28\00:31:30.59
and they don't wash their
hands, germs are transmitted
00:31:30.79\00:31:32.69
so quickly and if you don't
have a regimen in your life
00:31:32.85\00:31:35.69
or you may sure that
whatever can contaminate
00:31:35.89\00:31:37.53
you wash it off then
you will be affected by it,
00:31:37.73\00:31:40.96
so when the Lord says in 2
Corinthians 6 and verse 17,
00:31:41.13\00:31:43.90
listen to this in that context,
00:31:44.13\00:31:45.57
2 Corinthians 6 and verse 17,
00:31:45.77\00:31:47.90
Therefore, come out from
among them and be separate,
00:31:48.10\00:31:51.81
says the LORD. Do
not touch what is unclean
00:31:52.01\00:31:54.28
and I will receive
you" so when you make sure
00:31:54.48\00:31:56.68
that the things that
you touch or in touch,
00:31:56.95\00:31:59.31
which are not unclean
then the germs will not spread
00:31:59.51\00:32:04.29
and the infection
will not take root
00:32:04.49\00:32:06.89
and you know what
John, you know very well,
00:32:07.12\00:32:08.56
the moment you get
that tickle in your throat.
00:32:08.76\00:32:11.23
You know you are in trouble.
00:32:11.46\00:32:12.83
And then you say, oh,
no, here it comes and you
00:32:13.03\00:32:18.37
realize it's too late by
the time that tickle comes
00:32:18.57\00:32:21.74
people run to get medication
they take their Tylenol.
00:32:21.97\00:32:26.51
They are going to
the medicine cabinet
00:32:26.71\00:32:28.78
and not carry
themselves the fence usually
00:32:28.98\00:32:30.68
by the time that
tickles starts in the throat,
00:32:30.91\00:32:33.42
you know, that it has
been there for a while,
00:32:33.65\00:32:35.62
but that's the
first sign you got.
00:32:35.82\00:32:37.15
That's how sin often is.
00:32:37.19\00:32:38.69
He has been in
there working on us,
00:32:38.89\00:32:40.59
but it gives you a
sign and says, here I come.
00:32:40.79\00:32:43.86
It's like being on
the top of that slide
00:32:44.09\00:32:46.29
and there it was like you
are ready before you respond,
00:32:46.49\00:32:48.80
you are on your way down.
00:32:49.00\00:32:50.33
That's why the Lord
says in 2 Corinthians 6:17,
00:32:50.37\00:32:53.03
these words, "Therefore,
come out from among them
00:32:53.23\00:32:58.47
and be separate says the LORD.
00:32:58.67\00:33:00.08
Do not touch what is
unclean and I will receive you.
00:33:00.28\00:33:03.21
In another words,
cleanse your hands you sinners;
00:33:03.41\00:33:07.12
and purify your
hearts you double minded
00:33:07.32\00:33:09.42
that's what Jesus
meant in the word.
00:33:09.62\00:33:11.52
You know the nice
thing too is that saying
00:33:11.85\00:33:13.46
it's not saying be
separate as in don't be involve
00:33:13.69\00:33:17.33
with the world at all. It
says as you are in the world
00:33:17.53\00:33:20.00
don't touch what is unclean.
In another words it's not,
00:33:20.20\00:33:23.53
it's not saying have no
involvement to win sinners
00:33:23.73\00:33:26.84
and present the message,
00:33:27.07\00:33:28.40
the gospel to
people who are lost,
00:33:28.44\00:33:29.97
and reach out and
help and meet their needs.
00:33:30.17\00:33:32.61
It saying don't engage
in the things that they do
00:33:33.38\00:33:35.31
that's what it means
that we should not touch
00:33:35.51\00:33:39.05
what is unclean, in
another words don't let
00:33:39.25\00:33:40.58
those things
come into our lives,
00:33:40.75\00:33:42.08
don't make them
part of your life,
00:33:42.12\00:33:43.45
don't touch what is unclean.
00:33:43.49\00:33:45.35
And in fact, we know that
as Christians in this world
00:33:45.55\00:33:48.32
that can be difficult
to do because sin is always
00:33:48.52\00:33:50.63
at our door. Seems like
it is always a temptation,
00:33:50.86\00:33:52.96
but here what he says in
1 Peter 2:11, 1 Peter 2:11,
00:33:53.16\00:33:57.83
"Beloved, I beg a
sojourners and pilgrims,
00:33:58.03\00:34:01.97
abstain from fleshly lusts,
which war against the soul.
00:34:02.20\00:34:05.51
Now that you are
sojourner, you are a pilgrim,
00:34:05.74\00:34:07.91
you are in this world,
you are part of this world,
00:34:08.14\00:34:10.15
but it does not mean you
should take part of this world.
00:34:10.35\00:34:14.02
I like that.
That's the difference.
00:34:14.25\00:34:16.02
Be in it, but not of it.
Some people may say well,
00:34:16.22\00:34:18.65
how can you possibly
live in New York city
00:34:18.85\00:34:21.36
and I'm using
it, that's my city.
00:34:21.56\00:34:22.99
I love my city New York.
But lot of people say to me,
00:34:23.19\00:34:25.23
when I say I'm from New York,
00:34:25.43\00:34:26.76
they say well that's
a good place to be from.
00:34:26.80\00:34:28.10
There are lot of righteous
people in New York city.
00:34:28.13\00:34:29.90
The odds though
of the numbers of sin
00:34:30.10\00:34:33.07
that come against
them and the influences
00:34:33.90\00:34:35.47
that they have to
avoid is exponentially higher
00:34:35.70\00:34:38.74
than it is here
in Thompsonville.
00:34:38.94\00:34:40.28
We go outside and
drive down the road.
00:34:40.44\00:34:41.91
We see trees. You go down
the road in New York city,
00:34:42.11\00:34:44.45
you hear music,
you hear profanity,
00:34:44.65\00:34:47.38
your cars screech in,
sirens going on, bill boards,
00:34:47.62\00:34:50.92
all kinds of medias
just bombarding you,
00:34:51.15\00:34:53.72
advertisement
that you can't look
00:34:53.92\00:34:56.06
at for more than 10
seconds and so we know
00:34:56.29\00:34:58.99
the influences are greater,
but the Lord is not saying
00:34:59.19\00:35:01.53
that because your
influences are around you that,
00:35:01.76\00:35:04.50
that means you have to fall.
00:35:04.70\00:35:06.03
See, you got to
cleanse your hands,
00:35:06.13\00:35:08.07
you got to make
sure that you abstain
00:35:08.30\00:35:09.64
from those things
that war against the soul.
00:35:09.84\00:35:12.34
That's right, and you
know, when it comes to all
00:35:12.57\00:35:14.61
these things, you know,
kind of back to the subject
00:35:14.64\00:35:16.41
we're talking
about the advertisement.
00:35:16.64\00:35:17.98
You know, they want us to
buy more of their product.
00:35:18.01\00:35:20.48
They want us to do, of course,
00:35:20.72\00:35:23.82
they want to be
successful on selling
00:35:24.02\00:35:25.35
what they got to sale,
but you know we are so much
00:35:25.39\00:35:27.32
of that it seems like,
hasn't seem like to you John
00:35:27.52\00:35:29.89
that our plates
sizes and the things
00:35:30.09\00:35:32.86
that we are taking
into us have gotten bigger.
00:35:33.09\00:35:35.20
Oh! Yeah. It
seems like the things
00:35:35.43\00:35:37.47
that we are beginning to
do, there is so much to eat
00:35:37.67\00:35:40.37
and there is so
much selection there,
00:35:40.60\00:35:41.94
I mean you know go
overseas and you see first hand
00:35:42.10\00:35:44.54
that people they don't
have a lot to eat basically
00:35:45.57\00:35:47.58
they have a little rice,
little beans maybe some bread
00:35:47.78\00:35:49.94
and that's they
have all the time.
00:35:50.15\00:35:51.78
That's all they have to eat.
00:35:51.98\00:35:53.31
But we have got
so much coming at us
00:35:53.35\00:35:55.18
and we are
engaging so much stuff that,
00:35:55.38\00:35:57.09
that our appetite gets bigger.
00:35:57.29\00:35:58.62
And bigger and bigger
and it affects us physically
00:35:58.72\00:36:01.52
and so you know, it's
important that we moderate
00:36:01.72\00:36:05.26
the amount of food that
we are taking to our body.
00:36:05.49\00:36:08.00
In fact, it says in
Proverbs 23 and I know we have
00:36:08.23\00:36:11.30
looked at Proverbs 24,
yeah verse 2, verse 2 and 3
00:36:11.63\00:36:14.10
it says "And put a
knife to your throat
00:36:14.30\00:36:15.94
if you are a man
given to appetite."
00:36:16.14\00:36:18.07
Do not desire his delicacies
for their deceptive food.
00:36:18.31\00:36:22.78
What he saying is, you
know don't put a knife to your
00:36:23.41\00:36:25.55
throat when you are
just because you are hungry.
00:36:25.58\00:36:27.42
He is talking about
the gluten here, isn't he?
00:36:27.65\00:36:30.12
That's exactly.
00:36:30.32\00:36:31.65
Someone who just
eats and eats and eats
00:36:31.69\00:36:33.02
and eats and eats, there
is, you got to say enough
00:36:33.05\00:36:34.82
already, you know, your
body clearly doesn't need
00:36:35.02\00:36:37.26
anymore food,
moderate be careful of
00:36:37.43\00:36:40.33
how much you
taking in your body.
00:36:40.53\00:36:41.86
Somebody wants to
say I am not broke,
00:36:42.06\00:36:43.40
I have more checks.
00:36:43.60\00:36:44.93
I am still hungry
because there is more food.
00:36:44.97\00:36:47.10
You got to really be careful.
00:36:47.34\00:36:48.87
I know you and I have
the same thing when it comes
00:36:49.10\00:36:50.84
to this eating thing.
John and I will share something
00:36:51.04\00:36:53.48
in common not only
are we the same race,
00:36:53.71\00:36:55.41
but whenever he is eating
and he says the first chance
00:36:55.64\00:37:00.42
he gets this feeling
of being full he stops,
00:37:00.65\00:37:02.72
and I am the same way. I
could be sitting at the most
00:37:02.92\00:37:05.02
delicious food when my
body says, oh! You are full.
00:37:05.22\00:37:09.42
I stop, I stop in
the middle of a meal.
00:37:09.62\00:37:11.36
Somebody says what
happen? Are you full? I am full?
00:37:11.56\00:37:13.76
I can't eat anymore.
Well, finish, I mean like there
00:37:14.00\00:37:17.87
is so much more food
left, I am done. I am full.
00:37:18.07\00:37:20.14
But there is some
individuals that have turned
00:37:20.37\00:37:22.90
off that, that
impulse to not go any further.
00:37:23.14\00:37:27.48
Yeah, not listening to
their body that saying enough.
00:37:27.71\00:37:29.74
And you know your
stomach will stretch.
00:37:29.98\00:37:31.31
Oh! Yeah, but I don't know.
00:37:31.51\00:37:32.85
You eat enough
your stomach stretches
00:37:32.88\00:37:34.22
and you don't know
that you are getting full
00:37:34.25\00:37:35.68
when your stomach keeps
getting bigger and bigger
00:37:35.88\00:37:37.75
and bigger, we
kind of adapt to that.
00:37:37.99\00:37:39.35
Have you notice
what we've been talking
00:37:39.62\00:37:40.96
about mostly in this
topic outside of the things
00:37:40.99\00:37:42.99
that we should avoid,
we also been having talking
00:37:43.19\00:37:44.83
about the greatest
issue of, the greatest issue
00:37:45.06\00:37:47.56
about the greatest
issue of, the greatest issue
00:37:47.60\00:37:48.90
of the health issue.
There are three categories;
00:37:48.93\00:37:50.27
the red light, the yellow
light, and the green light.
00:37:50.30\00:37:52.30
The red light things
we should avoid smoking,
00:37:52.50\00:37:54.64
unclean foods, alcohol,
tobacco, cigarettes, drugs,
00:37:54.84\00:37:57.34
marijuana, cocaine all
that stuff should be red light,
00:37:57.54\00:38:01.18
never in your body at all.
Then the yellow light issues
00:38:01.38\00:38:04.25
things that we have
to do in moderation.
00:38:04.45\00:38:07.75
Got to be careful.
00:38:07.98\00:38:09.32
Got to be moderate with
those things like, okay,
00:38:09.35\00:38:10.69
sugar is good,
but when I say good,
00:38:10.72\00:38:13.29
it's not, it tastes
good, but you go ahead
00:38:13.52\00:38:16.73
and over do it, your
body will pay you back.
00:38:16.93\00:38:19.16
Now notice I didn't put
caffeine into that category
00:38:19.39\00:38:22.33
because it's a
harmful stimulant.
00:38:22.53\00:38:24.10
That's a red
light. It's a red light.
00:38:24.33\00:38:25.67
It shouldn't be in the
body anything that stimulates
00:38:25.70\00:38:27.27
or gets in addiction
going like the way doc always
00:38:27.47\00:38:31.14
says and I, I
always laughing he does it,
00:38:31.34\00:38:33.14
doc bachelor that is. He
says, you have never seen
00:38:33.94\00:38:36.21
anybody kicking a fit or
having a withdrawals because
00:38:36.41\00:38:39.88
they, I need a
banana, I need a banana,
00:38:40.08\00:38:42.58
I need a banana, I need
a tomato, get me a tomato
00:38:42.82\00:38:46.29
I am gonna die if I
haven't have a tomato.
00:38:46.49\00:38:48.09
You don't do that for
things that are natural
00:38:48.29\00:38:50.13
That's right.
00:38:50.33\00:38:51.66
We do that for
things that are unnatural.
00:38:51.69\00:38:53.03
That's why you have to
keep sure that you make sure
00:38:53.06\00:38:56.40
that you are
tempered in all things.
00:38:56.60\00:38:58.17
And then, the green things,
let me finish this story.
00:38:58.37\00:39:00.44
Then the green things;
the statistic has pointed out
00:39:00.64\00:39:04.47
recently one of the
reasons why we are so heavy
00:39:04.67\00:39:08.14
in this country it's
because we are in tempered.
00:39:08.34\00:39:12.15
It is not a gland
problem, it is a mouth problem.
00:39:12.35\00:39:16.82
Hand-to-mouth
disease, not ooof disease.
00:39:17.25\00:39:21.06
Hand-to-mouth is a
biggest disease in America.
00:39:21.26\00:39:23.73
Well, like a tongue
to tongue is as long
00:39:23.96\00:39:25.69
as this food
we're going to eat it.
00:39:25.93\00:39:27.23
And there are some who
don't metabolize this fast.
00:39:27.30\00:39:29.60
So, there are
some medical issues
00:39:29.73\00:39:31.07
that are
relating here, exceptions,
00:39:31.10\00:39:32.43
we are not saying that,
but overall on the majority
00:39:32.47\00:39:34.34
that's exactly as
you said, you know, John
00:39:34.54\00:39:36.47
I've have a sweet tooth
and I think you have a sweet
00:39:36.67\00:39:38.87
tooth sometimes too.
But you know sometimes,
00:39:39.07\00:39:41.08
sometimes as I am
eating sweet, sweet things,
00:39:41.28\00:39:43.38
sometimes things
are just too sweet.
00:39:43.58\00:39:45.01
I can't eat hot
candy, I can't do it.
00:39:45.21\00:39:48.08
To me it's just
too sweet in my mouth.
00:39:48.32\00:39:50.19
There are other
things, I put in my mouth
00:39:50.39\00:39:53.29
and I've eaten
couple of bites and say,
00:39:53.46\00:39:54.79
you know what
it's just too sweet,
00:39:54.86\00:39:56.66
it's just too much in
here, and we've seen in our
00:39:56.86\00:39:58.93
society increase to a
degree or level, fever pitch,
00:39:59.13\00:40:02.66
where our sugar
content in some of these sweets
00:40:02.86\00:40:05.27
is so high that you
can almost eat one bite,
00:40:06.10\00:40:08.54
I mean you have
touched the roof.
00:40:08.74\00:40:10.97
You know I am at
the place now John,
00:40:11.17\00:40:12.61
where when I eat
something sweet my head hurts
00:40:12.84\00:40:15.04
instantly I said
Angie I said, right away.
00:40:15.24\00:40:18.25
I felt the effect of
that you know, why because
00:40:18.45\00:40:20.52
I've avoided that so much
my body has purified itself
00:40:20.72\00:40:23.25
from all these things.
Sugar is also a stimulant that,
00:40:23.52\00:40:27.79
that's why children get
sick. You send little Johnnie
00:40:28.59\00:40:30.96
to school, he is
bouncing off the walls,
00:40:31.13\00:40:32.46
he is like a super ball,
trace it back to his diet.
00:40:32.49\00:40:35.63
You know, so lot of
people wants to say put a knife
00:40:35.86\00:40:38.63
to your throat, when you
are person given to appetite
00:40:38.83\00:40:41.00
strangely enough. One of
the twelve tribes of Israel,
00:40:41.24\00:40:44.11
his name was
Asher, and the Bible says,
00:40:44.31\00:40:46.64
his bread shall be
fat and his table shall
00:40:46.84\00:40:50.38
yield royal dentist. He
had a problem with appetite
00:40:50.61\00:40:54.08
and so there those who
have that struggle to overcome.
00:40:54.92\00:40:57.02
There are certain
things that are not a sin
00:40:57.22\00:40:59.72
that you will be lost for.
00:40:59.92\00:41:01.49
But you will have a terribly
low level of healthy life.
00:41:01.72\00:41:05.66
You will have arthritis.
00:41:05.86\00:41:07.23
You won't be clear in your mind.
00:41:07.40\00:41:08.73
In the first lesson by the
way in prophecy in Daniel 1,
00:41:08.96\00:41:12.03
is that these
young men had a pure diet
00:41:12.27\00:41:14.07
and they maintained
that for clear minds.
00:41:14.30\00:41:16.17
You know the next
text we are gonna get into
00:41:16.37\00:41:17.81
something that's kind of
interesting and I remember
00:41:18.04\00:41:20.14
the thought or
comment that you had said,
00:41:20.34\00:41:21.98
this was years
ago back in Fairfield.
00:41:22.18\00:41:23.75
With regard to peoples
personality and after their
00:41:25.71\00:41:29.22
aggressiveness just
because of the blood and meat
00:41:29.42\00:41:32.25
content that they ate
especially in children,
00:41:32.42\00:41:34.49
oh, amazing, and here
we read in Leviticus 3:17,
00:41:34.72\00:41:36.93
it says, this shall be a
perpetual statute throughout
00:41:37.16\00:41:40.20
your generations, in
another words forever,
00:41:40.40\00:41:42.23
in all your
dwellings, you shall eat neither
00:41:42.43\00:41:44.90
fat nor blood" that's right.
00:41:45.10\00:41:47.90
So they were eating
meat but that meat was not to
00:41:48.10\00:41:49.90
contain any blood,
exactly, so you know those
00:41:50.11\00:41:52.71
who are meat eaters
out there, you know,
00:41:52.91\00:41:54.34
we are not saying
that eating beef is a sin
00:41:54.54\00:41:59.01
it doesn't say
that it is in the Bible,
00:41:59.25\00:42:00.72
we can't find that
anywhere, but eating blood,
00:42:00.95\00:42:02.38
in another words
eating it medium rare or where
00:42:02.62\00:42:04.79
to the point where
bloods dripping out
00:42:05.02\00:42:06.35
that it says we should not do.
00:42:06.39\00:42:08.19
I know in your
experiences you've seen some
00:42:08.39\00:42:12.36
of that happen
and with some families
00:42:12.56\00:42:14.46
and with some kids the
amount of food and meat
00:42:14.66\00:42:18.63
and even they are not
cooking their meat totally,
00:42:18.83\00:42:21.17
can have an impact on their.
00:42:21.37\00:42:22.70
There character
not the character,
00:42:22.77\00:42:24.94
but their personality.
00:42:25.14\00:42:26.47
There personality,
their persona, you know,
00:42:26.51\00:42:27.94
let me just use as an example,
00:42:28.14\00:42:29.48
lets me use as a
measurement of, let's just say
00:42:29.51\00:42:31.18
between my top
hand and bottom hand
00:42:31.41\00:42:32.75
that's the
measurement of the mood swings.
00:42:32.91\00:42:35.18
That's what I like to
use. People that are not
00:42:35.42\00:42:37.89
meat eaters they
have smaller mood swing.
00:42:38.12\00:42:40.66
People that are meat
eaters have a larger mood swing.
00:42:40.86\00:42:44.36
They go from quite to ferocious.
00:42:44.56\00:42:47.56
They can go
enraged in a heart beat
00:42:47.76\00:42:50.10
and you will find
that among the meat eaters
00:42:50.33\00:42:52.80
those who are
constant meat eaters
00:42:53.00\00:42:54.77
they can have a
temper flare just like that.
00:42:54.97\00:42:57.37
But those who are not
meat eaters their mood swings
00:42:57.61\00:43:00.21
are lot less, lot
lower and let me also add
00:43:00.41\00:43:03.08
to that those who
have less stimulants
00:43:03.31\00:43:04.98
in their diets
because somebody may say,
00:43:05.18\00:43:07.05
hey, I am not a meat
eater, so he is not a meat eater
00:43:07.25\00:43:09.42
or she is not, why hers,
why are her swings so great.
00:43:09.62\00:43:12.39
You will discover that
they have a lot more spicy foods
00:43:12.59\00:43:15.19
lot more pepper, lot
more things that in flame even
00:43:15.42\00:43:19.33
cayenne pepper as good as it is.
00:43:19.53\00:43:21.46
For the body and its
uses it still pepper.
00:43:21.70\00:43:25.40
Some people may say
I don't eat red pepper,
00:43:25.63\00:43:28.04
I don't eat black pepper,
but I eat cayenne pepper.
00:43:28.24\00:43:30.37
Anything that is a
stimulant should be taken in
00:43:30.57\00:43:32.97
moderation, but
meat in the inflaming,
00:43:33.17\00:43:36.28
think about that
you have taken an animal
00:43:36.54\00:43:38.28
that's 2000 pounds, you
take him into a slaughterhouse.
00:43:38.51\00:43:41.62
By the time he gets
tied up and all locked
00:43:41.82\00:43:45.62
into this cage, he
knows he is about to die.
00:43:45.82\00:43:48.32
By the time,
you go to the place,
00:43:48.52\00:43:50.36
where you are
gonna slit his throat
00:43:50.56\00:43:51.89
or whatever they
use to kill this animal,
00:43:51.93\00:43:53.26
this cow he is
inflame. Adrenalin releases.
00:43:53.29\00:43:55.80
His adrenalin releases
his all through the purines,
00:43:56.00\00:43:59.23
get shot into his
veins, into his system
00:43:59.57\00:44:02.90
and when he gets
killed he gets killed
00:44:03.10\00:44:05.94
at the highest fever pitch point
00:44:06.14\00:44:08.54
because he is
fighting to save his life,
00:44:08.74\00:44:10.08
and in body as
replete with all these enzymes
00:44:10.25\00:44:13.78
and then when
the meat gets cooked
00:44:13.98\00:44:15.78
here is an
experiment; cook a piece of beef
00:44:16.02\00:44:19.02
and when you done
cooking you take it in,
00:44:19.22\00:44:22.26
leave it in your car in
a paper bag or in a plate,
00:44:22.49\00:44:26.29
but leave it in a
paper bag and not plastic,
00:44:26.49\00:44:29.33
but paper so that it
could air out and leave it
00:44:29.56\00:44:31.63
in your car go buy a
hamburger and leave it
00:44:31.83\00:44:34.70
in your car one night.
00:44:34.90\00:44:36.24
And when you
come back the next day
00:44:36.37\00:44:37.71
it's going to smell. I
am not gonna get you sick,
00:44:37.84\00:44:40.08
but it's gonna
smell like there was like
00:44:40.28\00:44:41.61
there is purine in your vehicle.
00:44:41.64\00:44:43.61
Because what you smell is
the purines inside the beef,
00:44:43.81\00:44:48.28
which is as a result of
these enzymes being released
00:44:48.48\00:44:52.22
into the flesh of the
animal because at the time
00:44:52.42\00:44:55.16
of his death he was at
the highest fever pitch.
00:44:55.36\00:44:57.99
Sounds kind of gross.
00:44:58.23\00:44:59.56
But that's what
happens and when we eat that
00:44:59.59\00:45:01.26
and we wonder why children
that eat meat grow faster
00:45:01.46\00:45:04.43
than vegetarians is
because they are putting
00:45:04.63\00:45:06.30
all the stimulants
and all these chemicals
00:45:06.50\00:45:09.27
in their bodies
that would design
00:45:09.47\00:45:10.94
to be into 2000
pound beast, you see.
00:45:11.14\00:45:14.01
You know, and there is a
principle here Proverbs 23
00:45:14.04\00:45:17.65
and it was lot to
the same Proverbs 23.
00:45:17.85\00:45:19.55
Read that again. Verse 7,
00:45:19.78\00:45:21.12
"For as he thinks
in his heart, so is he:
00:45:21.15\00:45:23.05
Eat and drink, he said to you;
00:45:23.25\00:45:25.52
but his heart is not with you.
00:45:25.72\00:45:27.19
You know, I know
obviously he is talking about
00:45:27.39\00:45:29.82
as we think, but you
know also we are what we eat.
00:45:30.06\00:45:32.49
I mean the principle
goes here is not just we are
00:45:32.69\00:45:35.20
as we think but
we are as we eat.
00:45:35.40\00:45:36.83
And so here the
comment connecting as we think,
00:45:37.07\00:45:40.67
but eat and drink I mean
there is a connection here
00:45:40.87\00:45:43.27
and so we've got be
careful that we will be put
00:45:43.51\00:45:45.37
in our bodies, is in causing
us to be different people
00:45:45.57\00:45:48.34
then we would be. You
know, had we eaten the way
00:45:48.54\00:45:51.01
the God has us designed for.
00:45:51.21\00:45:52.65
You know, I believe John
that there are lot of people
00:45:52.85\00:45:54.98
incapable of really receiving
the truths of God's word
00:45:55.18\00:45:58.25
and making decided decisions
and committed decisions
00:45:59.12\00:46:01.32
to follow him
because they are so numb
00:46:01.52\00:46:03.59
by what they
put in their bodies.
00:46:03.79\00:46:05.13
That is a very good analysis.
00:46:05.16\00:46:06.83
And until they
change that, the commitment
00:46:07.03\00:46:09.16
just forgot it won't
be there as it should.
00:46:09.36\00:46:11.67
They can't receive
spiritual things because
00:46:11.87\00:46:13.27
their mind is under
duress that's the word
00:46:13.50\00:46:17.11
I want to use. For
a person to sit down,
00:46:17.31\00:46:19.51
let's just think about this.
00:46:19.74\00:46:21.08
Let's look at the cycle
in America and by the way
00:46:21.11\00:46:23.58
we are talking about
principles here right now
00:46:23.78\00:46:25.35
when I go into eat or not eat.
00:46:25.55\00:46:27.08
All reiterate by saying
this it's not a sin to eat
00:46:27.32\00:46:32.32
clean meats, but your
preparation of those things
00:46:32.52\00:46:35.59
can really make a
difference and you also have to
00:46:35.82\00:46:38.03
think about the society
in which we are living today.
00:46:38.23\00:46:40.13
There is such a demand
for meats that God forbid,
00:46:40.33\00:46:44.67
restaurants in one state
00:46:44.90\00:46:48.17
that demand beef, how all
these restaurants all over
00:46:48.40\00:46:51.81
the world being
supplying this beef.
00:46:52.01\00:46:54.61
There got be
some natural practices
00:46:54.84\00:46:56.64
that get to seem
to grow so quickly.
00:46:56.85\00:46:58.18
And the amount of stuff
that they are taking in.
00:46:58.25\00:46:59.58
I think God was trying
to teach Israel a point back
00:46:59.75\00:47:03.65
when they were asking for
meat and he sent them quail,
00:47:03.85\00:47:08.06
remember how many
quails he sent them?
00:47:08.29\00:47:11.09
There were on all
the face of the desert.
00:47:11.29\00:47:13.43
There were on the
face of the desert.
00:47:13.63\00:47:14.93
I think it was 3
meters almost high.
00:47:15.06\00:47:16.80
Now that wasn't
quail to quail solid,
00:47:17.00\00:47:19.83
but we are talking
about there was so much quail
00:47:20.07\00:47:22.00
that it was all over
the place of this high.
00:47:22.24\00:47:24.31
And they ate so much of
it that they became sick.
00:47:24.51\00:47:29.78
And God was trying
to teach them through
00:47:29.98\00:47:32.21
that is that you
want it, here you go.
00:47:32.41\00:47:34.68
But don't eat so much of it.
00:47:34.88\00:47:37.45
And it did make them sick.
00:47:37.69\00:47:39.05
They have learned
lessons from that and I believe
00:47:39.25\00:47:40.59
in the way that God ask
them to prepare the foods
00:47:40.69\00:47:43.73
among how much to eat
of those foods and so forth
00:47:43.93\00:47:46.59
was principles and
guidelines that he set forth
00:47:46.80\00:47:49.73
protect them
from the damage that,
00:47:49.96\00:47:51.67
that meat could
really do in their bodies.
00:47:51.87\00:47:54.14
So, although eating
clean meat and we are talking
00:47:54.34\00:47:57.47
about clean meant is not a sin.
00:47:57.67\00:47:59.01
The amount of that meat
that you take in your body
00:47:59.04\00:48:01.28
will have a major
negative effect on you
00:48:01.48\00:48:04.61
if you allow it
to and so that's why
00:48:04.85\00:48:06.88
we got to be very careful about
00:48:07.08\00:48:08.42
how much we are eating.
00:48:08.62\00:48:09.95
Because you have to digest it.
00:48:09.98\00:48:11.32
And it's very hard to digest,
00:48:11.35\00:48:13.15
not only that it
stays with you a much longer
00:48:13.39\00:48:15.22
than it does
then other foods do.
00:48:15.46\00:48:17.26
Think of an 8 ounce
stack and before that's
00:48:17.49\00:48:21.33
digested another one
is on the top of that
00:48:21.53\00:48:23.67
and it says it takes
a body 8 hours for food
00:48:23.87\00:48:25.83
to be digested
properly through the body pass
00:48:26.07\00:48:28.00
through the system.
What do you think about that
00:48:28.24\00:48:29.87
you have one full
lunch, you have another big one
00:48:30.07\00:48:31.81
for dinner and in America
especially here in Midwest
00:48:32.01\00:48:34.81
you know people say
I'm a meat and potato guy.
00:48:35.01\00:48:37.15
Well, potato is not too
bad even the white potatoes
00:48:37.41\00:48:39.85
don't have as many good
properties as sweet potatoes
00:48:40.05\00:48:42.45
and other red potatoes
and those are mineral rich.
00:48:42.65\00:48:46.05
But you have that
kind of a diet that really
00:48:46.25\00:48:48.76
stacks it on. Well,
now just look around.
00:48:48.96\00:48:51.03
One good friend of
mine says you can't be fit
00:48:51.26\00:48:53.63
like a fiddle if you
shape like a shallow.
00:48:53.96\00:48:55.76
What happens is you get
to the point we eat so much
00:48:55.96\00:48:58.30
so regularly that the body
can't digest it fast enough,
00:48:58.50\00:49:01.60
so you can't move and
who stalks looking more
00:49:01.84\00:49:05.17
like the cow, the
person eating the cow
00:49:05.37\00:49:07.04
rather than the cow
itself. But we have a lesson
00:49:07.24\00:49:09.74
to learn from the
cow himself because
00:49:09.98\00:49:12.75
cows people may say,
hey, how you guys gonna put
00:49:12.95\00:49:16.58
any weight on you
don't eat any meat.
00:49:16.79\00:49:18.12
Tell that to the
cow, who doesn't eat meat.
00:49:18.15\00:49:22.42
That's right and you
can't eat a lot more food
00:49:22.66\00:49:25.69
and get
plentiful on healthy foods.
00:49:25.89\00:49:28.16
Have you seen that
deceptive commercial
00:49:28.36\00:49:29.70
they had lately,
it's been on television
00:49:29.73\00:49:31.70
about a year
now here in America,
00:49:31.90\00:49:33.23
where the guy is outside
and the window is blowing
00:49:33.27\00:49:35.54
real strong and he gets
blown away and the guys say,
00:49:35.70\00:49:38.57
what did you
have for lunch today,
00:49:38.77\00:49:41.31
salad and some
greens and all of a sudden
00:49:41.54\00:49:43.88
big wind comes
and he gets blown away
00:49:44.08\00:49:45.78
and the other guys
said I had meat and potatoes
00:49:45.98\00:49:47.62
and he stands
firmly in this hurricane
00:49:47.85\00:49:49.52
or at the table little
boy goes blows on the table
00:49:49.75\00:49:52.89
and his dad flies
off the table because
00:49:53.09\00:49:54.42
all he had was vegetables
and fruits and grains.
00:49:54.62\00:49:56.76
But the guy that ate
the meat stays at the table
00:49:56.96\00:49:59.19
that's a deceptive advertisement
00:49:59.39\00:50:01.50
that's like
saying pork is the other
00:50:01.53\00:50:02.96
white meat. You know that one.
00:50:03.00\00:50:06.30
Yeah, absolutely we
don't understand and don't
00:50:06.53\00:50:09.10
look at whose behind
these things, you know,
00:50:09.30\00:50:10.67
those who want to make money,
00:50:10.87\00:50:12.21
those in the business and
you know if your life work
00:50:12.24\00:50:19.05
was a slaughterhouse.
Would you even began to think
00:50:19.28\00:50:23.89
of advocating a
vegetarian lifestyle, you know,
00:50:24.09\00:50:27.26
I mean even we see
now a-days you've got cows
00:50:27.46\00:50:30.13
that are out there with
signs that say eat chicken.
00:50:30.33\00:50:32.16
You know, I mean, they say
that, they don't eat anything
00:50:32.39\00:50:37.40
but you know as far as if
you are slaughterhouse owner
00:50:37.60\00:50:40.80
about to this what I
got to offer, you know,
00:50:41.00\00:50:42.87
and so even it is
a law that you cannot
00:50:43.07\00:50:47.94
slender food producing
industries. In America.
00:50:48.18\00:50:53.78
In America, hope for God
sued, for saying something
00:50:53.98\00:50:56.38
against the beef
industry that's to lasted
00:50:56.58\00:50:58.65
for many years because it
was against the law for you
00:50:58.89\00:51:02.29
to do that, and what
happened to the meat industry.
00:51:02.49\00:51:04.06
They thought they
were severely hurt by that.
00:51:04.29\00:51:06.03
So it's even not
political, politically correct
00:51:06.23\00:51:09.76
to be able to say eat
right be vegetarian or cut down
00:51:09.96\00:51:14.84
or at least cut
down your meat, you know,
00:51:15.04\00:51:16.37
we are talking to people
out there who have eaten meat
00:51:16.40\00:51:18.54
all their lives. We are
saying at least cut back,
00:51:18.74\00:51:21.24
eat more stuff, eat of
all the five food groups.
00:51:21.48\00:51:24.41
You know, the basic
stuff and even the US Nutrition
00:51:24.61\00:51:27.85
Department wants to tell
you now that it is important
00:51:28.08\00:51:30.02
for your health, eat that stuff.
00:51:30.22\00:51:31.69
You know, I love my
family and I have some family
00:51:31.89\00:51:34.39
in the Virgin
Islands there in French town
00:51:34.59\00:51:36.89
I want to just, this
is a wonderful example
00:51:37.09\00:51:39.23
how the change in diet
could really make the difference
00:51:39.43\00:51:42.46
in your life. My Uncle Leon,
00:51:42.66\00:51:44.00
happy, hello all
those in French town
00:51:44.07\00:51:47.07
in the Virgin Islands and
those down on main street,
00:51:47.27\00:51:49.94
we just love you all
there in the Virgin Islands,
00:51:50.14\00:51:53.17
but my uncle Leon had
a close call last year
00:51:53.38\00:51:57.28
or it was earlier
this year, where he had
00:51:57.51\00:52:00.58
a heart attack,
but he survived it.
00:52:00.78\00:52:03.25
And after that
he has drastically
00:52:03.49\00:52:06.82
changed his diet,
lost the lot of weight
00:52:06.86\00:52:08.69
and he said he is willing to do
00:52:08.72\00:52:10.19
anything to
maintain a healthy lifestyle
00:52:10.39\00:52:12.16
and to live longer.
You know, what most people
00:52:12.39\00:52:15.03
would find better if they
adapt a healthier lifestyle
00:52:15.26\00:52:20.27
to avoid the heart
attacks because you know
00:52:20.50\00:52:22.37
what they say
sometimes the first sign
00:52:22.57\00:52:23.94
of a heart
attack is a heart attack
00:52:24.17\00:52:26.01
and some people
survive it, some people don't,
00:52:26.24\00:52:28.74
the sad reality is.
00:52:28.98\00:52:30.31
His brother died from the
same thing of heart attack.
00:52:30.35\00:52:34.85
Here today gone tomorrow
and when you think about it
00:52:35.08\00:52:38.99
and I want to just add
this also there are those
00:52:39.19\00:52:41.39
when I wanna be very
fair, there those who say well
00:52:41.59\00:52:44.69
I don't eat beef hardly at all
00:52:44.89\00:52:47.66
in the Virgin Islands
there is not a heavy beef market
00:52:47.93\00:52:49.86
because it's has an import.
00:52:50.07\00:52:51.40
But there is a lot of fish.
00:52:51.43\00:52:52.77
And there those who eat
shellfish, oysters, lobsters,
00:52:52.80\00:52:56.30
crabs, you know, they
are high in cholesterol.
00:52:56.50\00:53:01.98
The garbage comes from the sea.
00:53:02.01\00:53:03.35
There are the garbage dump,
00:53:03.38\00:53:04.78
they are high in
cholesterol, high in fats,
00:53:04.81\00:53:06.38
high in artery clogging food,
00:53:06.61\00:53:08.75
and artery clogging
properties, and they are just
00:53:09.02\00:53:12.09
as much as culprit as the
blood that gets introduced
00:53:12.29\00:53:16.12
into our bodies. Blood
should be put into our veins
00:53:16.32\00:53:18.69
intravenously for
the health of the body,
00:53:18.93\00:53:20.76
but not ingested
into the digestive system.
00:53:20.96\00:53:24.30
You know, some I've heard say,
00:53:24.50\00:53:26.67
you have to die sometime.
00:53:26.87\00:53:28.20
You know, I just
don't understand.
00:53:28.34\00:53:30.14
Until they are dying.
00:53:30.37\00:53:31.71
Interpreting,
yeah, and some will,
00:53:31.74\00:53:33.81
here is another
argument well, what's his name
00:53:34.01\00:53:37.01
with the cigar that
lifts to leave to hundred.
00:53:37.21\00:53:38.81
Oh! George Burns
00:53:39.01\00:53:40.35
George Burns,
well, you know, eat, eat,
00:53:40.38\00:53:42.12
live his whole life
without, you know, cancer free
00:53:42.35\00:53:44.52
and everything. He
never died until he was 100
00:53:44.75\00:53:46.86
and some, imagine
how. And he smoked cigar.
00:53:47.06\00:53:48.92
As if that's a reason
you just keep on smoking.
00:53:49.12\00:53:51.86
It's almost like you
dismiss all of the things
00:53:52.09\00:53:54.46
that point to the
fact that if you smoke
00:53:54.63\00:53:56.00
you will get cancer
or chances are 80 percent
00:53:56.23\00:53:58.73
which are gonna develop
cancer in your lifetime.
00:53:58.93\00:54:01.20
You know, there are
doctors; there are doctors
00:54:01.44\00:54:02.77
that are probably
listening to this program
00:54:02.94\00:54:04.34
that are probably
saying, you know these guys
00:54:04.47\00:54:06.21
don't know what
they are talking about.
00:54:06.44\00:54:07.78
If you ignore all that
we've said and went ahead
00:54:07.81\00:54:12.28
and did opposite to
what we have recommended
00:54:12.51\00:54:15.08
based on the
scripture in the word of God.
00:54:15.28\00:54:17.09
You will begin to see
that although we are not
00:54:17.35\00:54:19.52
physicians and
dietitians and nutritionists,
00:54:19.72\00:54:22.02
the word of God gives
us principles that tell us
00:54:22.22\00:54:24.56
to avoid going in the direction,
00:54:24.76\00:54:26.33
where you gonna need a doctor
00:54:26.56\00:54:27.86
or you are gonna
need a nutritionist or you
00:54:27.96\00:54:29.76
are gonna need to health
professional to recover you.
00:54:29.96\00:54:31.83
Because God is the nutritionist.
00:54:32.07\00:54:33.57
God is the nutritionist.
00:54:33.80\00:54:35.14
He is the ultimate nutritionist.
00:54:35.17\00:54:36.50
Last thing, I
want to say about this
00:54:36.74\00:54:38.07
and this is a
totally different category
00:54:38.24\00:54:39.57
to get but
somewhere along the way
00:54:39.61\00:54:40.94
when you discover how
to live a healthy lifestyle
00:54:40.98\00:54:43.51
and you are
sitting down at your table
00:54:43.75\00:54:45.35
and you are eating together,
00:54:45.58\00:54:46.92
make that an enjoyable time.
00:54:46.95\00:54:49.08
Listen to this
Ecclesiastes 3:13,
00:54:49.28\00:54:50.82
And also that every
man should eat and drink,
00:54:51.05\00:54:54.46
and enjoy the
good of all his labor,
00:54:54.66\00:54:57.06
it is the gift of
God. You know friends
00:54:57.26\00:54:59.13
meal time in our homes
should not be a stressful time,
00:54:59.36\00:55:02.10
try something, try to
turn off your television
00:55:02.33\00:55:04.90
during the time
you eat at the table,
00:55:04.93\00:55:06.67
try to turn off the radio,
00:55:06.90\00:55:08.24
try to put the newspaper down,
00:55:08.30\00:55:10.17
try to put your
mail down, right,
00:55:10.41\00:55:12.27
try not to look at your bills
00:55:12.51\00:55:13.91
or get a terrible phone call,
00:55:14.18\00:55:15.81
put the phone on
pause or on do not disturb
00:55:16.01\00:55:19.68
while you eating,
so that you can eat,
00:55:19.91\00:55:21.65
you can drink, you can
look into your spouses face
00:55:21.88\00:55:24.55
and say how was your
day, honey, how was your day,
00:55:24.79\00:55:27.56
honey? You could enjoy
the food and you know what
00:55:27.76\00:55:30.19
ladies make something
that's good for your husband.
00:55:30.39\00:55:32.63
Husbands, if you are
the cook make something good
00:55:32.86\00:55:34.76
for your wives, get
your families together
00:55:35.00\00:55:36.80
and make dinner time
a time, where everybody
00:55:37.00\00:55:38.97
re-acclaims his or
herself with the other.
00:55:39.20\00:55:41.14
Yeah, you know, on closing
out this program ultimately
00:55:41.37\00:55:43.20
what we are saying
is that God wants you
00:55:43.44\00:55:45.74
to have life and to
have it more abundantly.
00:55:45.97\00:55:48.71
John 10:10, John 10:10.
00:55:48.91\00:55:50.25
Read that for us by the
way, that's a powerful text.
00:55:50.28\00:55:51.81
It says "The thief does
not come except to steal,
00:55:52.05\00:55:54.48
kill, and destroy. I have
come that they may have life
00:55:54.72\00:55:58.19
and that they may
have it more abundantly.
00:55:58.42\00:56:00.59
So God wants
abundant life for you and I,
00:56:00.79\00:56:03.73
and he has given
these principles as we cover
00:56:03.93\00:56:05.86
many of them over
the last few programs.
00:56:06.06\00:56:07.66
Finally, his word
he is the nutritionist.
00:56:07.86\00:56:09.66
We don't have to be nutritionist
00:56:09.90\00:56:11.23
to just share a God's word.
00:56:11.27\00:56:12.60
We sit here and we know that,
00:56:12.63\00:56:14.00
he knows what is best.
00:56:14.24\00:56:15.57
And so that's we
are giving you here.
00:56:15.60\00:56:16.94
It's not because you
know, we want to take the fun
00:56:16.97\00:56:20.21
out of everything even
his words says enjoy food,
00:56:20.44\00:56:23.65
enjoy life, enjoy these
things that is something
00:56:23.88\00:56:26.58
we need to do, but
what we just telling you
00:56:26.82\00:56:28.15
follow the guidelines
that God has given you,
00:56:28.35\00:56:29.85
and you will have
that abundant life
00:56:30.05\00:56:31.92
because you will live
long and you also enjoy serving
00:56:32.15\00:56:34.69
the Lord because that's
ultimately what he wants.
00:56:35.06\00:56:36.76
He wants us to
serve him, doesn't he?
00:56:36.99\00:56:38.43
He wants us to serve him,
00:56:38.63\00:56:39.96
but he wants us to be healthy.
00:56:40.00\00:56:41.30
You know, what if your
horse is sneezing and coughing
00:56:41.33\00:56:43.50
and burping and regurgitating,
00:56:43.70\00:56:46.13
he is not gonna win that race.
00:56:46.33\00:56:47.87
If your dog is just all
lay back he cannot protect you.
00:56:48.10\00:56:52.57
If we are out of
shape we cannot be fit
00:56:52.77\00:56:56.08
that's what for
God who abide in,
00:56:56.31\00:56:57.81
and if we are doing it
ourselves intentionally.
00:56:58.05\00:57:00.15
We are
dishonoring the very temple
00:57:00.38\00:57:01.92
that God is
interested to us. Friends,
00:57:02.15\00:57:03.69
we are saying eat,
drink, and be merry, enjoy life,
00:57:03.92\00:57:07.92
but do it the way that God
00:57:08.12\00:57:10.23
has ordained it to
be, right John. Amen.
00:57:10.46\00:57:12.23
And when you do that friends
00:57:12.46\00:57:13.83
you'll never have
to worry about sneezing
00:57:14.03\00:57:16.00
all the time instead of
your doctor going on vacation,
00:57:16.20\00:57:18.53
you will have the money
to take yourself on vacation.
00:57:18.77\00:57:21.24
You will have the
money to enjoy life,
00:57:21.44\00:57:23.00
so here at house
calls for what is for us
00:57:23.20\00:57:25.84
God has come that
we might have life
00:57:26.04\00:57:27.78
and have it more abundantly.
00:57:28.01\00:57:29.34
Consult his menu
for the best diet.
00:57:29.44\00:57:32.98
God bless you and have a great
00:57:33.18\00:57:34.62
and abundant
day in Jesus Christ.
00:57:34.85\00:57:37.49
