00:05 AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:08 NUCLEAR SUBMARINES, OR BOOMERS, ARE MODERN ENGINEERING
00:12 WONDERS EQUIVALENT TO A TIGHTLY PACKED, SELF-CONTAINED CITY
00:16 WHERE A CREW OF 140 SHARE THE SPACE OF A THREE-BEDROOM HOUSE.
00:20 A NUCLEAR SUB CAN STAY SUBMERGED UP TO 90 DAYS.
00:24 THERE IS LITTLE CONTACT WITH FAMILY DURING THIS TIME.
00:27 ALONG WITH THE PRESSURE OF BEING PREPARED TO LAUNCH NUCLEAR
00:30 WEAPONS, IT'S ONE OF THE MOST STRESSFUL MILITARY ASSIGNMENTS.
00:34 TO COMPENSATE, THE NAVY TRAINS THE BEST CHEFS FOR THESE SUBS.
00:38 A MEAL MIGHT BE PRIME RIB, SAUTÉED MUSHROOMS, BAKED
00:42 POTATOES, FRESH BREAD, AND REAL CHOCOLATE CAKE.
00:46 THEY SAY AN ARMY TRAVELS ON ITS STOMACH AND THAT'S WHY THE
00:48 MILITARY SPENDS MILLIONS EVALUATING WHAT THE SOLDIERS
00:52 EAT. WHY IS IT THAT MANY CHRISTIANS
00:54 THINK GOD DOESN'T CARE WHAT HIS SOLDIERS EAT?
00:57 YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT WHETHER YOU EAT OR DRINK OR
01:00 WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD.
01:03 SINCE OUR BODIES ARE GOD'S TEMPLE, WE SHOULD PRESENT THEM
01:06 TO HIM AS A LIVING SACRIFICE AND NOT ABUSE THEM WITH GLUTTONY,
01:11 ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'RE SOLDIERS IN HIS ARMY.
01:14 SO JOIN ME, TODAY, FOR THIS PROGRAM AS WE UNCOVER MORE
01:17 AMAZING HEALTH FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
01:25 WELCOME, FRIENDS, TO OUR FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH PROGRAM.
01:28 SO GLAD TO SEE EACH OF YOU HERE. AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, IF
01:33 THE REFORMATION WAS TO CONTINUE, WHAT ARE SOME MESSAGES THAT THE
01:37 CHRISTIAN WORLD REALLY NEEDS TO HEAR.
01:41 BUT I LIKE TO ALWAYS START WITH AN AMAZING FACT.
01:43 I'M GOING TO NEED TO READ SOME OF THIS FROM MY NOTES TONIGHT
01:46 BECAUSE THERE'S JUST A LOT OF DETAILS I CAN'T REMEMBER.
01:48 THE MOST POWERFUL SUPER COMPUTER USED TO BE IN THE U.S.
01:51 IT WAS CALLED THE BIG BLUE - MADE BY IBM.
01:54 NO LONGER. NOW IT'S IN CHINA. IT'S THE 93 PETAFLOP SUNWAY
02:02 TAIHULIGHT INSTALLED AT THE NATIONAL SUPERCOMPUTING CENTER
02:07 IN WUXI, CHINA - I'VE BEEN TO WUXI - IT HAS MORE THAN
02:10 10.5 MILLION LOCALLY MADE PROCESSOR CORES - ONE COMPUTER.
02:15 YOUR COMPUTERS MIGHT HAVE A COUPLE.
02:18 AT ITS PEAK, THE COMPUTER CAN PERFORM 93 TRILLION CALCULATIONS
02:24 PER SECOND, WHICH IS A WHOLE ROOM OF SUPER PROCESSORS, AIR
02:30 CONDITIONERS AND POWER CABLES. STILL, THIS IS ONLY 0.4 PERCENT
02:36 OF WHAT ONE HUMAN BRAIN CAN DO IN PROCESSING IN A SECOND, WHICH
02:41 MEANS THIS SUPER COMPUTER IS ABOUT HALF AS SMART
02:44 AS A MOUSE BRAIN. YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE TELLS US
02:50 THAT WE ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE.
02:53 YOU KNOW, IN YOUR BRAIN, THAT TWO AND A HALF POUND
02:56 ELECTROCHEMICAL COMPUTER. IT'S FILLED WITH BILLIONS OF
03:01 NEURONS AND THEY'VE DISCOVERED NOW THAT WITHIN THE NEURONS ARE
03:05 THESE DENDRITES AND THEY USED TO THINK THAT THEY WERE JUST KIND
03:08 OF INTERCONNECTING CABLES, BUT THE SCIENTISTS HAVE COME TO
03:12 DISCOVER THAT EACH ONE OF THESE LITTLE DENDRITES, WHICH ARE JUST
03:15 SUPER MICROSCOPIC CABLES WITHIN THE NEURONS, ACTUALLY EACH IS A
03:24 COMPUTER IN ITSELF. AND SO, THE STATISTICS THAT THEY
03:28 HAD ABOUT THE COMPUTING ABILITY OF THE HUMAN BRAIN, THEY'RE
03:32 FINDING OUT THAT IT WAS MUCH MORE THAN THEY EVEN THOUGHT,
03:36 WHICH MAKES SENSE, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE LEARNING
03:39 THROUGH ETERNITY. THAT'S JUST ONE REASON I JUST
03:41 COULD NEVER ACCEPT EVOLUTION. WHY WOULD YOU EVOLVE A BRAIN
03:46 THAT YOU DON'T EVEN USE 70 PERCENT OF IT IN ONE LIFE?
03:51 WHY WOULD YOU EVOLVE WITH SO MUCH EXTRA CAPACITY?
03:56 I THINK THAT GOD MADE THESE THINGS.
03:58 NOW, OUR MESSAGE TONIGHT IS DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT OF
04:01 HEALING, HEALTH, AND HOLINESS. LET'S LOOK AT OUR LESSON, IT'S
04:06 GOING TO BRING OUT A NUMBER OF POINTS.
04:08 FIRST QUESTION: WHY IS GOD CONCERNED WITH OUR PHYSICAL
04:11 HEALTH? BECAUSE, FIRST OF
04:14 ALL, HE LOVES YOU. LOOK IN MATTHEW 4:23.
04:18 WHAT WAS THE MINISTRY OF JESUS LIKE?
04:20 JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL GALILEE TEACHING IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES AND
04:23 PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, AND HEALING ALL MANNER
04:27 OF SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE.
04:31 JESUS SPENT ALMOST AS MUCH TIME HEALING AS HE DID TEACHING.
04:35 HE WANTS US TO BE WELL. HE CREATED MAN HEALTHY
04:39 IN THE BEGINNING. HE WANTS US TO HAVE LIFE.
04:41 YOU READ IN 3 JOHN, VERSE 2, "BELOVED, I WISH ABOVE ALL
04:45 THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH, EVEN AS YOUR
04:50 SOUL PROSPERS." HOW IMPORTANT IS PHYSICAL
04:53 PROSPERITY TO GOD? HE SAID, 'EVEN AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS'.
04:56 WHY? WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? BECAUSE GOD COMMUNICATES
05:01 TO YOU THROUGH YOUR BRAIN. YOUR BRAIN IS SORT OF LIKE THE
05:05 BRIDGE BETWEEN YOUR PHYSICAL BODY AND GOD.
05:07 HE DOESN'T COMMUNICATE TO YOU THROUGH YOUR TOES OR THROUGH
05:12 YOUR ELBOW. AND YOU MIGHT THINK HE SPEAKS TO
05:14 YOU THROUGH YOUR STOMACH, BUT GOD SPEAKS TO YOU
05:18 THROUGH YOUR HEAD. AMEN.
05:20 AND YOUR HEAD IS A COMBINATION OF SOME KIND OF A SPIRITUAL
05:23 ORGAN AND THEY STILL DON'T KNOW IF THOUGHTS ARE PHYSICAL.
05:28 LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING NOW, RIGHT NOW, IN
05:30 THIS ROOM IN YOUR MINDS AND IN MINE WHILE I'M TALKING TO YOU
05:33 AND I'M TAKING IN THINGS VISUALLY.
05:35 I'M WATCHING SOME OF YOU YAWN AND THINK WHAT THAT DOES TO ME
05:36 WHILE I'M TALKING. (LAUGHTER)
05:38 AND I'M SEEING ALL OF THIS AND I'M THINKING ABOUT WHAT
05:42 I'VE GOT TO SAY NEXT AND THERE'S JUST THOUSANDS OF THINGS GOING
05:45 ON IN MY MIND AND ARE THOSE TANGIBLE?
05:49 WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRES YOU, IS THAT JUST A COMPUTER
05:54 PROCESS OR IS THERE SOMETHING OUTSIDE INFLUENCING YOUR BRAIN?
05:58 BUT YOUR BRAIN IS ALSO AN ORGAN. IT'S FED BY BLOOD.
06:02 IT'S INTERESTING, IT'S THE CENTER OF - ALL THE NERVES IN
06:04 YOUR BODY KIND OF END IN YOUR BRAIN, BUT YOUR BRAIN DOESN'T
06:07 FEEL. IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY
06:10 AND YOUR MIND IS CLEAR, IT IS EASIER FOR YOU TO BE
06:14 A WITNESS FOR THE LORD. AMEN.
06:16 YOU WILL FEEL BETTER WHICH MAKES YOU A HAPPIER PERSON,
06:19 WHICH MAKES YOU A BETTER WITNESS.
06:21 IF YOUR HEAD IS CLEAR, YOU UNDERSTAND SPIRITUAL THINGS
06:24 BETTER - IT'S EASIER FOR YOU TO LIVE A CHRISTIAN LIFE AND
06:27 COMPREHEND THE WILL OF GOD IF YOUR MIND IS CLEAR.
06:31 AND SO THE DEVIL IS WORKING OVERTIME TO TRY TO FOG UP THE
06:34 MINDS OF HIS PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM SICK SO THAT THEY'RE JUST
06:39 NOT ABLE TO LET THEIR LIGHT SHINE THE WAY HE WANTS THEM TO.
06:43 HE WANTS US TO HAVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE.
06:45 AND THAT'S OUR NEXT VERSE, JOHN CHAPTER 10, VERSE 10, "I AM COME
06:49 THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY."
06:52 I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF THIS GUY, HIS NAME WAS BANANA JACK.
06:55 I THINK, IN THE PICTURE, HE'S SKIING - HE'S NOT ONLY SKIING
06:58 HE'S SKIING BAREFOOT AND HE'S 90 YEARS OLD.
07:02 HE OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T HAVE DENTURES BECAUSE HE'S HOLDING
07:04 THE ROPE IN HIS TEETH. I LIKE TO SPRINKLE A
07:08 FEW AMAZING FACTS HERE. I WAS READING BACK IN 2014 ABOUT
07:14 JANETTE AND ALAN MURRAY WHO SET A RECORD FOR RUNNING THE MOST
07:19 CONSECUTIVE MARATHONS OF ANYBODY IN HISTORY TOGETHER.
07:23 STARTING JANUARY 1, 2013, EVERY DAY THROUGH THE YEAR, THEY RAN A
07:28 MARATHON AND THEY RAN COMPLETELY AROUND AUSTRALIA AND TASMANIA,
07:34 RUNNING 366 - THEY DID ONE EXTRA FOR GOOD MEASURE - MARATHONS -
07:39 26.2 MILES EVERY DAY AND SHE WAS 63 AND HE WAS 68 YEARS OLD.
07:51 AND, ALONG THE WAY, THEY CONSUMED 10,000 BANANAS,
07:54 THOUSANDS OF AVOCADOS, SMOOTHIES - THEY'RE BOTH VEGETARIANS -
07:57 VEGAN VEGETARIANS. PART OF THE REASON THEY DID THIS
07:59 WAS TO PROMOTE A VEGETARIAN DIET BECAUSE SHE BELIEVED IT WAS
08:02 LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR HER RECOVERY FROM CANCER.
08:07 AND THE JURY IS IN, FRIENDS, IN SPITE OF WHAT YOU MAY BE HEARING
08:12 FROM SOME OF THE MEAT AND DAIRY INDUSTRY, A VEGETARIAN DIET IS
08:17 DEFINITELY HEALTHIER FOR PEOPLE. THERE'S FAR LESS DISEASE - I
08:23 LEARNED THIS THE HARD WAY, YEARS AGO, AND I'LL MAYBE SAY
08:25 MORE ABOUT THAT LATER. GOD PROMISED THE CHILDREN OF
08:28 ISRAEL, WHEN HE BROUGHT THEM OUT OF EGYPT, THAT IF THEY WOULD
08:30 SERVE AND OBEY HIM HE WOULD REMOVE ALL SICKNESS FROM THEM.
08:35 DID HE KEEP HIS PROMISE? AMEN.
08:37 YOU KNOW, HE PRESCRIBED THEIR DIET.
08:39 THEY ATE ANGEL'S FOOD FROM GOD EVERY DAY.
08:42 AND, AFTER 40 YEARS OF FOLLOWING THE LAWS OF HEALTH AND
08:46 SANITATION THAT GOD HAD GIVEN MOSES, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE
08:49 TESTIMONY IS IN PSALM 105, VERSE 37?
08:52 AMONG THIS PEOPLE - THIS NATION - OF UP TO 2 MILLION PEOPLE, IT
08:57 SAYS HE BROUGHT THEM FORTH - THERE WAS NOT ONE FEEBLE PERSON
09:00 AMONG THEIR TRIBES. CAN YOU IMAGINE 2 MILLION PEOPLE
09:04 IN A CITY AND THE HOSPITAL IS EMPTY?
09:07 NOBODY - NOBODY, YOU KNOW, THE NURSES AND DOCTORS ARE JUST KIND
09:12 OF FOLDING THEIR ARMS AND THEY'RE WATCHING THE CLOCK
09:14 BECAUSE THERE'S NOBODY TO TAKE CARE OF BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S
09:16 WELL. YOU KNOW ONE REASON THAT THERE'S
09:20 A HEALTHCARE CRISIS IN NORTH AMERICA?
09:24 IT'S BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND
09:29 YOU FOLLOW ALL THE BEST HEALTH LAWS, YOU'LL EVENTUALLY GET OLD
09:32 AND DIE. BUT GOD DOESN'T WANT YOU TO
09:36 SPEND THE LAST 30 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE DYING.
09:40 YOU READ IN THE BIBLE ABOUT MOSES.
09:42 IT SAYS MOSES CLIMBED A MOUNTAIN - 120 YEARS OLD - GOD SAID,
09:45 'MOSES, IT'S TIME TO DIE.
09:46 I WANT YOU TO CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN AND WE'LL DEAL WITH IT
09:48 UP THERE.' MOSES CLIMBS THE MOUNTAIN, GOD LAYS HIM TO REST,
09:52 AND IT SAYS HIS STRENGTH WAS NOT ABATED, HIS VISION WAS STILL
09:55 CLEAR - 120 YEARS OLD - ACTIVE, PRODUCTIVE, CLEAR - AND THEN,
10:02 ALL OF A SUDDEN AT THE VERY END (SNAPS FINGERS) HE DIES.
10:05 ISN'T THAT KIND OF HOW YOU'D LIKE TO GO?
10:06 YES. I KNOW SO MANY DEAR OLD PEOPLE
10:10 WHO TOOK CARE OF THEIR HEALTH AND JUST KIND OF FELL
10:12 OVER IN THEIR GARDEN. YOU KNOW, YOU JUST - EVERYTHING
10:14 SORT OF HOLDS TOGETHER UNTIL THE END.
10:16 BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING BECAUSE OF THE BAD LIVING
10:19 PRACTICES - NOT COMPLETELY - SOME THINGS I KNOW ARE
10:22 HEREDITARY AND SOME THINGS ARE ACCIDENTS, BUT A LOT OF THE TIME
10:26 THE BAD LIVING PRACTICES IN WESTERN SOCIETY - PEOPLE START
10:31 GETTING HEART DISEASE AND DIABETES AND HYPERTENSION AND
10:34 ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND THEY'RE ON MEDICATION AND THAT MAKES
10:36 THEM SICKER AND THEY SPEND THE LAST 30 YEARS BEING SICK AND
10:42 IT'S OVERWHELMING THE EXPENSES OF OUR SOCIETY.
10:47 I'LL TELL YOU THE CURE FOR THE HEALTHCARE PROBLEM IN AMERICA
10:52 RIGHT NOW. CONGRESS CAN'T FIX IT, BUT IF
10:56 THERE WAS A REVIVAL OF THE TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE ON YOUR
10:59 KNOWING YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND PEOPLE
11:03 TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES, IN TEN YEARS THE HEALTHCARE
11:05 CRISIS WOULD BE GONE. DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
11:09 WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT WITH THE REST OF
11:11 TODAY'S PRESENTATION. IT'S NO SECRET, FRIENDS,
11:14 MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TODAY ARE SUFFERING FROM HEALTH ISSUES
11:18 THAT LEAD TO CRIPPLING DISEASE AND SHORTER LIVES. WE SPEND
11:22 BILLIONS EVERY YEAR ON GOOFY HEALTH FADS THAT OFTEN END UP
11:25 HURTING OUR BODIES MORE THAN HELPING.
11:28 BUT WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT THE BIBLE HAS THE EXACT PRESCRIPTION
11:32 THAT YOU NEED TO LIVE A HEALTHIER AND A HAPPIER LIFE?

12:13 LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
12:16 AMAZING FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
12:20 WHY IS OUR HEALTH SO IMPORTANT TO GOD?
12:23 THE BIBLE SAYS, IN 1 CORINTHIANS 6, VERSE 19, "YOUR BODY IS THE
12:27 TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST... THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN
12:32 YOUR BODY. HE DWELLS WITHIN YOU. CHRIST SAID HE WILL BE IN YOU.
12:37 SO HE WANTS YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MIRACULOUS MACHINE THAT
12:40 HE'S GIVEN YOU. AND YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.
12:43 AGAIN, ROMANS 12, VERSE 1, PAUL SAYS, "I BESEECH YOU THEREFORE
12:47 BRETHREN, BY THE MERCIES OF GOD, THAT YOU PRESENT YOURSELF A
12:50 LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE UNTO HIM."
12:55 YOU KNOW, WHENEVER YOU BROUGHT A SACRIFICE TO THE TEMPLE IT WAS
12:58 TO BE A HOLY, PURE, UNBLEMISHED SACRIFICE.
13:01 WHAT IS A GOOD BIBLE LIVING RULE - OR WHAT IS A GOOD BIBLE LIVING
13:06 RULE FOR ALL CHRISTIANS? SIMPLE PRINCIPLE THAT WE SHOULD
13:09 ALL FOLLOW, 1 CORINTHIANS 10, VERSE 31, "WHETHER THEREFORE YOU
13:14 EAT OR WHATEVER YOU DRINK, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD."
13:19 NOW, HELP ME, IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO EAT AND DRINK TO GOD'S GLORY,
13:24 DOES IT MAKE SENSE THAT IT'S POSSIBLE TO NOT EAT AND DRINK TO
13:27 GOD'S GLORY? AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EATING
13:30 AND DRINKING THINGS THAT ARE NOT BRINGING GLORY TO GOD AND IT'S
13:33 NOT GOOD FOR THEIR BODIES EITHER. AND THE CHURCH, I THINK,
13:37 NEEDS TO DISCOVER THIS TRUTH - OR REDISCOVER, I SHOULD SAY,
13:41 THIS TRUTH. LET'S BE SPECIFIC, IF YOU DON'T
13:44 MIND, WE TALKED ABOUT IT DURING OUR BIBLE QUESTIONS ANOTHER
13:47 NIGHT, SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE USING ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES?
13:53 YOU KNOW, THERE'S A REASON WHY YOU DRIVE BY THE LIQUOR STORE
13:55 AND IT SAYS, 'BEER, LIQUOR, AND SPIRITS' (LAUGHTER) BECAUSE WHEN
14:01 A PERSON DRINKS THE BEER AND THE LIQUOR THEY BECOME POSSESSED BY
14:06 OTHER SPIRITS. THAT'S RIGHT.
14:09 LET'S FACE IT, HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED THAT WHEN A PERSON HAS A
14:14 LITTLE BIT TO DRINK THEY START DOING THINGS THEY NORMALLY WOULD
14:17 NOT DO. THEIR JUDGMENT IS IMPAIRED, THEY
14:19 SAY THINGS THEY'RE OFTEN SORRY ABOUT, THEY DO THINGS THEY'RE
14:22 OFTEN SORRY ABOUT, AND I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE YOU WAKE UP AND
14:28 YOU'RE IN JAIL, YOU DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE THERE.
14:31 OR YOU WAKE UP AND YOU FIND OUT YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING TERRIBLY
14:34 EMBARRASSING THAT YOU CAN NEVER FORGET ABOUT, OR YOU'VE HURT
14:37 SOMEBODY YOU CARED ABOUT BECAUSE IT'S LIKE A SPIRIT TOOK OVER.
14:43 WHY WOULD A CHRISTIAN WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD LOWER THEIR
14:46 RESISTANCE TO TEMPTATION? NOAH DRANK, STUMBLED AROUND -
14:53 NOAH DRANK, STUMBLED AROUND NAKED. KING DAVID TRIED TO GET
14:57 URIAH DRUNK SO HE'D GO AGAINST HIS CONSCIENCE.
15:00 LOT DRANK AND HE SLEPT WITH HIS DAUGHTERS.
15:02 YOU LOOK IN THE BIBLE, IT'S NOT A GOOD RECORD.
15:05 GIVE WINE TO HIM THAT IS READY TO PERISH.
15:08 YOU READ IN PROVERBS 20, VERSE 1, "WINE IS A MOCKER, STRONG
15:11 DRINK IS RAGING; AND WHOEVER IS DECEIVED THEREBY IS NOT WISE."
15:15 GOD WANTS US TO BE WISE. AMEN.
15:18 ALCOHOL IS ADDICTIVE. IT DESTROYS BRAIN CELLS. IT
15:23 DRAMATICALLY AFFECTS A PERSON'S ABILITY TO REASON. CHRISTIANS
15:27 SHOULD NOT DRINK ALCOHOL. AMEN.
15:29 AND EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU COULD MAKE A BIBLICAL ARGUMENT
15:31 THAT THEY DRANK A LITTLE WINE IN THE BIBLE, NOW THAT YOU KNOW
15:33 BETTER AND SINCE IT'S THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE DRUG IN OUR SOCIETY,
15:37 WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THAT BY YOUR EXAMPLE AND MAKE
15:40 SOMEONE ELSE STUMBLE EVEN A LITTLE BIT?
15:44 WHAT'LL GOD DO TO THOSE THAT DESTROY THEIR BODIES?
15:48 THIS IS SERIOUS. NOW DON'T SAY, 'PASTOR DOUG,
15:50 YOU'RE BEING LEGALISTIC.' YOU TAKE IT UP WITH
15:51 THE NEW TESTAMENT. IT'S WHAT GOD SAYS.
15:57 1 CORINTHIANS 3:16 AND 17, "YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD.
16:02 IF ANY MAN DEFILE" - NOW WHERE DID WE JUST SEE THAT WORD,
16:05 'DEFILE'? DANIEL.
16:07 DANIEL SAID HE PURPOSED IN HIS HEART HE WOULD NOT DEFILE
16:09 HIMSELF. AND DID GOD BLESS DANIEL THROUGH
16:12 THE WHOLE BOOK OF DANIEL? BLESS HIM WITH A CLEAR MIND, A
16:15 LONG LIFE, A GREAT MINISTRY? STARTS OUT BY SAYING HE PURPOSED
16:19 HE WOULD NOT DEFILE HIS BODY BECAUSE HE BELIEVED - HE WANTED
16:23 HIS BODY TO BE A DWELLING PLACE FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT.
16:26 WAS DANIEL SPIRIT FILLED? READ IN DANIEL CHAPTER 6, IT
16:30 SAYS THE KING SAW AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT WAS IN HIM.
16:33 HE WAS SPIRIT FILLED - WOULD NOT DEFILE HIMSELF.
16:37 THE BIBLE SAYS YOU'RE THE - NEW TESTAMENT - YOU'RE THE TEMPLE OF
16:39 GOD...IF ANY MAN DEFILES THE TEMPLE OF GOD, HIM WILL GOD
16:42 DESTROY." NOW, PRAISE THE LORD,
16:45 IF YOU'RE ALIVE THERE'S A CHANCE TO REPENT.
16:47 AMEN. BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY ALL HAVE
16:48 DONE IT BEFORE, I KNOW I HAVE. BUT HE'S CALLING ON US TO BE
16:52 HOLY, TO BE PURE, AND TO BE HEALTHY.
16:57 WHY WOULDN'T WE WANT TO? SO, IS MURDER A SIN?
17:00 YES. WHAT ABOUT SELF MURDER?
17:04 YES. NOW, IF YOU TAKE POISON AND
17:09 YOU KNOW IT'S POISON, AND IT TAKES 24 HOURS TO KILL
17:12 YOU, IS THAT A SIN? YES.
17:16 BUT WHAT IF THE POISON YOU TAKE IS GOING TO TAKE A WEEK?
17:19 AND YOU KNOW IT'S POISON, IT SAYS, 'THIS'LL KILL YOU IN ONE
17:21 WEEK' AND YOU TAKE IT. IS THAT STILL KIND OF SUICIDE?
17:25 WHAT IF IT TAKES 20 YEARS? AT WHAT POINT IS IT OKAY IF YOU
17:31 KNOW IT'S GOING TO KILL YOU? AND WHAT DOES IT SAY ON
17:35 EVERY PACK OF CIGARETTES? WARNING: THIS IS
17:40 KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER. THIS IS KNOWN TO
17:43 CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS. IT'S KNOWN TO CAUSE
17:46 ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. TOBACCO IS THE SECOND MOST
17:50 COSTLY DRUG ADDICTION IN NORTH AMERICA, IS WHAT IT
17:52 DOES TO OUR SOCIETY. NOW, I KNOW PEOPLE WATCHING
17:55 AND PEOPLE OUT HERE YOU HAVE STRUGGLED OR MAY BE STRUGGLING
17:59 WITH THIS OR ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS.
18:02 I HAVE TOO. IT WAS A BIG STRUGGLE.
18:06 NOW QUITTING SMOKING IS NOT HARD, I'VE DONE THAT A HUNDRED
18:08 TIMES. (LAUGHTER) STAYING QUIT IS THE HARD PART.
18:12 THAT'S WHAT MARK TWAIN SAID, 'QUITTING SMOKING IS EASY, I'VE
18:14 DONE IT A HUNDRED TIMES.' SO I DID.
18:16 I'D QUIT AND THEN I'D START. I'D QUIT AND THEN I'D START.
18:18 AND I KNOW IT'S A CHALLENGE - MY MOTHER SMOKED, MY FATHER SMOKED,
18:21 MY GRANDPARENTS SMOKED AND I WAS A SMOKER BEFORE I PICKED UP MY
18:25 FIRST CIGARETTE, JUST BY THE SECOND HAND SMOKE IN MY LIFE.
18:29 SO IT WAS VERY EASY FOR ME TO START.
18:32 IT WAS VERY HARD TO QUIT. BUT HOW MUCH CAN WE
18:35 DO THROUGH CHRIST? ALL.
18:37 ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
18:39 MONEY I'VE SAVED? AMEN
18:42 YOU COULD DO A DOWN PAYMENT ON A HOUSE FOR WHAT
18:43 YOU'LL SAVE IF YOU QUIT SMOKING. AND HE CAN GIVE YOU THE VICTORY.
18:49 WHATEVER IT IS. THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE
18:51 ADDICTED TO OPIOIDS AND DRUGS. IT'S NOT JUST ALCOHOL
18:56 AND CIGARETTES. GOD DOESN'T WANT US
18:58 TO ABUSE ANY DRUG. NOW, THERE ARE SOME NECESSARY
19:00 MEDICATIONS, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE ADDICTED
19:04 TO THINGS AND IT CONTROLS THEIR LIFE.
19:09 WHAT'S A GOOD BASIC HEALTH RULE FOR CHRISTIANS?
19:13 EVERY MAN THAT HAS THE MASTERY IS TEMPERATE IN ALL THINGS.
19:18 SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT FOOD AND DRINK, THINK IN
19:22 THE CONTEXT OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT. YOU'VE GOT A GREEN
19:26 LIGHT, WHAT'S THAT MEAN? GO.
19:28 GO. RED LIGHT? STOP.
19:31 STOP. YELLOW? GO REAL FAST. (LAUGHTER) NO, WHAT DO YOU
19:37 DO WHEN YOU SEE A YELLOW? NO, YELLOW MEANS CAUTION, RIGHT?
19:42 SLOW DOWN. SOME THINGS ARE ABSOLUTELY NO.
19:48 YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT THE THINGS THAT GOD CALLS AN
19:50 ABOMINATION. IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT MEAT -
19:55 YELLOW LIGHT - EAT THE CLEAN MEAT AND DO IT IN MODERATION.
20:01 IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT SWEETS - IT'S NOT JUST MEAT - YOU KNOW,
20:04 THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT - A TREAT, THAT'S OKAY FROM TIME TO
20:06 TIME, BUT IF YOU'RE EATING DESSERTS WITH EVERY MEAL, IT'S
20:09 GOING TO START TO SHOW. AND THEN, OF COURSE, GREEN
20:13 LIGHT IS BLESSING - GO. BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU
20:15 CAN OVERDO ANYTHING. YOU SHOULD BE TEMPERATE.
20:17 NOW, I DID SOME RESEARCH. HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT THE
20:20 FRUIT WAS ON THE FORBIDDEN TREE? I'M PRETTY CONVINCED IT WAS
20:25 ACTUALLY A CHOCOLATE TREE. (RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) I HEARD ABOUT
20:31 A GUY, FORGIVE ME, BUT HE FOUND A GENIE - TRUE STORY - AND HE
20:36 RUBBED THE BOTTLE AND THE GENIE CAME OUT AND HE SAID, 'OH, YOU
20:39 GET THREE WISHES.' AND THE GUY SAID, 'I WANT A BANK ACCOUNT
20:44 WITH A BILLION DOLLARS IN IT.' POOF!
20:46 HE'S GOT THIS BANK ACCOUNT THAT'S GOT A BILLION DOLLARS -
20:49 SWISS BANK ACCOUNT. HE SAID, 'NOW I WANT A
20:54 BEAUTIFUL, RED, ITALIAN SPORTS CAR.' POOF!
20:57 HE'S GOT A MASERATI. HE SAID, 'NOW, THE THIRD THING,
21:01 I WANT TO BE IRRESISTIBLE TO WOMEN.' POOF!
21:04 HE TURNED INTO A BOX OF CHOCOLATES. (LAUGHTER) I'M
21:10 SORRY, I JUST THOUGHT WAS FUN. SO, BEFORE I SAY THIS, I NEEDED
21:18 TO SAY THAT, BECAUSE THIS IS PRETTY SERIOUS.
21:22 LAST MONTH, CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL, OCTOBER 2017, A
21:26 TROUBLING NEW REPORT RELEASED FRIDAY BY THE CENTERS FOR
21:29 DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION SHOWS ALMOST 40 PERCENT OF
21:33 AMERICAN ADULTS AND NEARLY 20 PERCENT OF ADOLESCENTS ARE
21:37 OBESE. THE HIGHEST RATES EVER
21:41 RECORDED IN THE U.S. EVEN THOUGH WE'VE HEARD THIS FOR
21:44 YEARS, IT ISN'T GETTING BETTER, IT'S GETTING WORSE.
21:47 WE'RE BEING DESTROYED BY ABUNDANCE.
21:49 IT USED TO BE PEOPLE WERE DYING EVERY YEAR BECAUSE OF
21:51 MALNUTRITION AND STARVATION. NOW THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE IN OUR
21:54 COUNTRY THAT ARE DYING FROM OVER EATING - OVER NUTRITION,
22:00 YOU COULD SAY. THE BIBLE IS PRETTY CLEAR -
22:02 GALATIANS 6, VERSE 7, "DO NOT BE DECEIVED; GOD IS NOT MOCKED, FOR
22:07 WHATEVER A PERSON SOWS, THEY WILL ALSO REAP."
22:11 ONE OF THE BIG OFFENDERS IS SODA.
22:14 IT'S LIQUID CANDY, IS WHAT IT IS.
22:17 I'VE GOT A FRIEND AND I HADN'T SEEN HIM FOR AWHILE.
22:20 I SAW HIM AGAIN HE'D LOST 30 POUNDS.
22:21 I SAID, 'BROTHER, YOU LOOK GREAT.
22:22 WHAT DID YOU DO?' HE SAID, 'I DID ONE
22:24 THING.' 'WHAT WAS THAT?' HE SAID, 'I STOPPED
22:25 DRINKING SODA. THAT'S ALL I DID.
22:28 DON'T EXERCISE ANY MORE, DIDN'T CHANGE MY DIET.
22:30 I GAVE UP THE SODA AND LOST 30 POUNDS.' YOU SEE KIDS ALL THE
22:34 TIME WALKING AROUND NURSING A SODA POP AND THEY'RE STRUGGLING
22:38 WITH OBESITY AND THEN IT LEADS TO DIABETES AND THEIR LIVES -
22:41 THEY START GETTING SICK BEFORE THEY EVEN BEGIN TO LIVE.
22:46 THIS IS NOT GOD'S PLAN, BUT WE NEED THE POWER OF GOD TO MAKE
22:50 THESE PRACTICAL CHANGES, AMEN? AMEN.
22:52 ARE BIBLE HEALTH PRINCIPLES STILL PRACTICAL TODAY?
22:56 LOOK AT SOME OF THE PRINCIPLES THAT GOD GIVES IN HIS WORD.
22:59 VERY SIMPLE THINGS - YOU FIND THIS IN LEVITICUS 13:46 -
23:03 QUARANTINE PROCEDURES CONTROL CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.
23:07 YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT THE EBOLA CRISIS, THEY FOUND THE CURE WAS
23:10 HYPER-LEVITICUS. THEY STARTED FOLLOWING THE
23:14 QUARANTINE PROCEDURES IN LEVITICUS AND THEY
23:16 PUT A STOP TO IT. HUMAN BODY WASTE
23:19 SHOULD BE BURIED. IT'S JUST SIMPLE SANITATION.
23:23 I'VE BEEN IN COUNTRIES - YOU KNOW, MOST OF US, WE'VE GOT
23:26 COUNTRIES WHERE YOU'VE GOT PLACES DEDICATED AS A BATHROOM.
23:28 I'VE BEEN IN A FEW PLACES WHERE THERE ARE ONLY A FEW PLACES THAT
23:31 ARE NOT THE BATHROOM. AND THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF
23:34 DISEASE PROBLEMS. WASHING THE BODY INSIDE
23:38 AND OUT CONTROLS GERMS. YOU NEED TO DRINK LOTS
23:40 OF WATER - GOOD WATER. PEOPLE SOMETIMES NEVER DRINK
23:43 WATER AND I HAVEN'T EVEN SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE
23:46 ADDICTION TO CAFFEINE. THEY'RE HAVING - I READ 24,000
23:50 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL LAST YEAR BECAUSE OF
23:53 OVER-CAFFEINE RELATED PROBLEMS - AND A LOT OF THEM ARE KIDS.
23:59 MORAL LIVING PREVENTS SEXUAL DISEASE.
24:03 THAT'S SELF-UNDERSTOOD TRUTH. DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
24:07 ANIMAL FAT AND BLOOD SHOULD NOT BE EATEN?
24:10 AND, BY THE WAY, IT SAYS THAT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT TOO.
24:13 READ ACTS CHAPTER 15. YET A LOT OF CHRISTIANS - YOU'LL
24:15 NEVER HEAR PASTORS TALK ABOUT THAT.
24:18 AND IT'S NOT JUST THE FOOD YOU EAT - HATRED, BITTERNESS IS
24:23 DETRIMENTAL TO ONE'S HEALTH. SOME PEOPLE ARE SICK BECAUSE OF
24:26 WHAT THEY'RE EATING; A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SICK BECAUSE
24:28 OF WHAT'S EATING THEM. THEY ARE MAD, THEY'RE BITTER,
24:32 THEY KEEP NURSING GRUDGES, THEY CAN'T FORGIVE, AND IT AFFECTS -
24:36 THE STRESS AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH. AND, OF COURSE, AS I MENTIONED,
24:39 OVEREATING OF EVEN GOOD FOOD IS VERY HARMFUL.
24:44 I UNDERSTAND THESE SUMO WRESTLERS, THEY HAVE A BRIEF
24:47 TIME OF GLORY AND THEY HAVE VERY SHORT LIVES.
24:51 OUR BODIES NEED PROPER REST. THERE'S NEVER BEEN A TIME WHEN
24:55 PEOPLE ARE SO SHORT ON SLEEP AS OUR AGE NOW BECAUSE OF THE
24:58 COMPUTERS AND THE FLUORESCENT LIGHTS AND SO MUCH TO ENTERTAIN
25:02 THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT RESTING AND IT WILL SHORTEN YOUR LIFE SPAN.
25:07 THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD EXERCISE AND WORK.
25:09 GOD TOOK MAN AND HE PUT HIM IN THE GARDEN.
25:11 HE SAID, 'DRESS IT, KEEP IT, WORK.' HE WANTS US TO BE ACTIVE
25:15 AND YOU'VE GOT TO STAY BUSY. GOD GAVE YOU A BODY WITH MUSCLES
25:19 AND IF YOU DON'T USE THEM, THEY ATROPHY AND ALL KINDS - YOUR
25:22 BONES GET WEAK - AND GOD - IT'S VERY SIMPLE: USE IT OR LOSE IT.
25:27 IT'S ALSO TRUE WITH YOUR FAITH. YOU'VE GOT TO SHARE IT WITH
25:29 OTHERS OR YOU LOSE IT. AMEN.
25:31 YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT.
25:33 HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. THE BIBLE SAYS A HAPPY SPIRIT
25:38 IS HEALTH TO THE BONES. WHAT WILL PEOPLE IN HEAVEN - OR
25:42 WILL PEOPLE IN HEAVEN KILL AND EAT ANIMALS?
25:44 NO. NO. IT SAYS THEY WILL NOT HURT
25:47 AND DESTROY IN ALL MY HOLY MOUNTAIN, SAYS THE LORD.
25:51 SO HOW CAN I MAKE THESE CHANGES THAT GOD WANTS ME TO MAKE?
25:56 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE WILL TAKE AWAY - EZEKIEL 11:18 - THE
26:00 DETESTABLE THINGS THEREOF AND, NOTICE THIS, "AND I WILL GIVE
26:04 THEM ONE HEART AND I WILL PUT A NEW SPIRIT IN THEM THAT THEY MAY
26:09 WALK IN MY STATUTES AND KEEP MY ORDINANCES. HOW CAN WE DO IT? HE
26:14 PUTS A NEW SPIRIT WITHIN US. NOW IT'S DIFFICULT MAKING
26:19 CHANGES IN OUR LIVES, AMEN? AMEN.
26:23 DO YOU KNOW I WAS ADDICTED TO ICE CREAM FOR 40 YEARS?
26:27 I GOT A SERMON YOU CAN LISTEN TO ONLINE, IT'S CALLED COLD
26:29 CONFESSION - IT'S A TRUE STORY. I'M NOT SAYING ICE CREAM'S A
26:32 SIN - EVERYONE CLEAR ON THAT? IT WAS FOR ME.
26:35 I WAS ADDICTED AND I STRUGGLED AND IT WAS A BATTLE.
26:40 AND IT WASN'T UNTIL ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO, FINALLY, I WAS ABLE
26:45 TO BE FREE. I HAD TO HAVE ICE
26:48 CREAM EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND SO I KNOW WHAT
26:52 A STRUGGLE IS. A SIMPLE THING LIKE THAT.
26:54 AND, YOU KNOW, IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE IT WAS HURTING ME, BUT I
26:56 KNEW THAT IT HAD A GRIP ON ME. IT WAS THE EXPENSIVE STUFF TOO.
27:01 AND GOD WANTS TO GIVE YOU THE VICTORY WHATEVER YOUR STRUGGLES
27:03 MIGHT BE. HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK HIM?
