Thank you, Rosemary. 06:16 Rosemary and John Coates are part of the tweet in family 06:21 and in Australia, they are doing a wonderful work for the 06:25 Lord. 06:29 Some of you may have seen it 06:31 came out in the 1970's. 06:35 It was a commercial. 06:37 It's a night scene. A man is sitting on a bed. 06:40 There's a lamp on 06:42 his wife is trying to sleep 06:47 and then he says these words that have become famous. 06:51 I can't believe 06:53 I ate 06:55 the whole thing. 06:57 Some of you remember that 07:01 and his wife say 07:04 you ate it, Ralph. 07:07 He repeats it. I can't believe I ate the whole thing. 07:13 No, Ralph, I ate. 07:15 He repeats it. 07:17 I can't believe I ate the whole thing. 07:21 And then, of course, the commercial 07:23 she says, take to out themselves and that's supposed 07:27 to be solved the problem. 07:29 But this commercial illustrates the reality. This some of us, 07:34 if not most of us, have some difficulty with self-control 07:40 needing 07:42 and the title for this message is power 07:46 of self-control. 07:49 Now, there are many things that we can talk about 07:53 identify a few that I was interested in talking about. 07:58 But I have to narrow it down because of time 08:01 we may touch on one of the east, but I thought that 08:04 perhaps we could talk a little bit about 08:08 self-control and speaking 08:12 self-control to be able to reject impulse, buying 08:19 some control over entertainment time. 08:24 The school to the Lord impressed 08:29 our loving 08:30 Heavenly father. 08:32 We come before your throne of grace in Jesus name. 08:37 And we ask for the blessing of your holy spirit. 08:41 I place myself in your hands, Lord, and I rate 08:46 that you will speak to your children. 08:49 Heavenly father. We pray that all honoring Mari be onto your 08:53 name. 08:54 We ask for these things in the Holy 08:56 and last name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. 09:02 >> I bring you the scripture from some 29 verse 11. One of 09:07 my favorites. The Lord will give strength on to his people. 09:13 The Lord will bless his people 09:17 with peace 09:24 in acts, chapter one verse 8. 09:26 The Bible tells us 09:29 Jesus said, But Ye shall receive. 09:34 After that, the Holy Ghost is calm up on you and you should 09:38 be witnesses and to me both in Jerusalem and injured a a and 09:43 in some area and onto the other most part of the Earth. 09:48 This topic, this idea that you shall receive power 09:53 helps us to understand that we need power 09:58 and to live every single day. We need the power of the Lord 10:02 that he is willing to give to each and every one of us. 10:07 Why? 10:09 Because he loves us. He's not willing that any should perish. 10:15 Let's take a look quickly about the power over. 10:20 >> Speaking of losing control, 10:24 James Chapter 3, verse 6, 7, says and that it's a fire, 10:32 a world of iniquity. 10:34 >> The tongue is so set among our members that it did files, 10:37 though, whole body 10:41 and set on fire the course of nature 10:44 and it is set on fire by help. 10:49 That's the top. 10:51 Does anybody have one 10:53 have you set on fire? Something that you wish would not have 10:57 been on fire? 10:59 Perhaps you have. 11:00 And it says in verse 8, 11:03 actually for 7 for every kind. The beast and bird of reptiles, 11:09 creatures of the sea is steamed and has been tamed by mankind. 11:16 But no man can team the tongue. 11:19 It is an unruly evil full of did the poison. 11:26 Do we need power from on high to control the time? Yes, 11:29 because none of us can really control our Tom 11:35 and James chapter one verse 19. The Bible tells us. So then my 11:39 beloved brother and let every man be swift to hear. Slow to 11:44 speak. Slow to rack 11:49 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of 11:53 cars, 11:55 brothers and sisters. 11:57 >> By God's grace, 12:00 we can be slow to speak and swift to hear. 12:05 I was going to ask this question. 12:07 I'll tell you what the question was and I'm not going to ask 12:09 it. 12:10 [MUSIC] 12:15 [MUSIC] 12:16 Do you wish 12:19 that your spouse 12:21 would be slow to speak and slick to hear? 12:26 Raise your hand, 12:29 but we all need to be slow to speak and slipped in here would 12:32 use amen to that. 12:37 >> In James Chapter 3 verse 2, it says for we all stumble 12:43 in many things 12:45 we all do. We all do. 12:48 If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man. 12:54 Also able to bridle the whole body. 12:59 If you're able to bridle or control your Tom, you're able 13:04 to control your whole body. 13:07 So this is something that we should pray for. 13:14 Jesus said in Matthew 12. 36 37, but I say to you 13:20 that for every idle word. 13:22 >> Men may speak. They will give I count of it in the day 13:28 of judgment. 13:29 >> For, by your words, you will be justified. And by your 13:33 words, you will be condemned. 13:38 And so 13:40 one of the area, as you want to talk about this, a little bit 13:43 of a social media, you know, social media, a son, something 13:48 new 13:50 every day. It draws millions of people. 13:56 We should be in prayer because 13:58 the Lourdes wanting us to be light and not darkness. So I 14:03 encourage you to be light and not darkness when you get on 14:07 social media to post something 14:11 so that your words, what you post will draw people to Christ 14:16 instead of creating 14:18 a world of iniquity a fire 14:21 that will 14:23 be put out only by the grace of the Lord. That's like 14:25 Colossians chapter 4 verse 6. Let your son Beach always be 14:31 weight. Grace, seasoned with salt that you may know how you 14:37 ought to answer each one. 14:40 So brothers and sisters by the grace of the Lord. 14:44 Let us be light and not darkness. Let our speech be 14:48 such that he would draw people to Jesus. 14:52 If you're willing to do that, would you say meant 14:54 amen. 14:56 I'm just going to briefly touch on this because of time. 14:59 You know, 15:01 in Paul's buying, 15:03 it's something that is very common 15:06 all over the world practically. But most in America 15:10 in a recent survey by Finder Dot Com, a stunning 94 5% of 15:16 American shoppers at MIT to in Paul simply buying something in 15:22 the store. 15:23 By comparison. The share of those who make on planned 15:26 purchases online is 88.6%. 15:31 95%. So only 5% escape in polls by it. 15:36 And you know, they kind of make it heart 15:40 by one 15:42 get one free. 15:46 They call these something called full mole, which is fear 15:51 of missing out 15:55 and people just a moment I got to get. It's never been this 15:59 low before 16:01 and they put on these clearance sales 16:06 and it's hard to resist some of those offices in it. 16:10 But please make wise choices 16:14 so that your husband or wife to not get a heart attack 16:20 because we all have to face the reality we but something now, 16:23 what are we going to do? 16:25 And unfortunately, sometimes a lot of people buy things they 16:29 don't really need. 16:32 And so you have to ask yourself some questions. 16:35 Do I really need it? 16:38 Can I afford to live without it? 16:43 Do I have the money to buy act? 16:47 And if you have to resort to 8 16:52 credit card, 16:54 that should be a warning sign that you don't have the money 16:58 to buy this 17:00 so place 17:03 before you make those decisions. 17:05 Consider 17:07 Isaiah 55 Ares too. 17:10 Why do you spend money 17:12 for what is not bread and your wages for what does not satisfy 17:18 listen carefully to meet and eat what is good and that 17:21 you're so the light itself in abundance. 17:27 We need to move on 17:29 to the assignment that was given to me power of 17:34 self-control. And 17:36 I was asked to focus on a healthy lifestyle. 17:41 Now, something we all need is health. 17:44 And I remember one time visiting somebody in the 17:46 hospital 17:48 and I was trying to find the room 17:51 and I say look at the room numbers. 17:54 I had to walk down a long hallway 17:57 and there was a man and one of those fashionable patient 18:01 gowns. 18:04 He was walking around his room. He saw me, 18:08 I guess, trying to see is that somebody coming to visit me. 18:12 And as I got closer, he approached the door. 18:16 He says how you doing? 18:19 I'm doing well, thanks to the Lord. And then he said these 18:22 words 18:23 not doing so well. 18:25 This is my 3rd time in here for the same thing. 18:29 He says, you know, 18:31 when you have your health, you don't know what you have. 18:36 And he summarized the reality that some of us 18:41 I don't really take care of our health 3 times for the same 18:45 thing. 18:47 I don't know if it was his fault. 18:49 I don't know if it was genetic 18:52 but he did not like the idea of being there. 18:56 How many people enjoy being in the hospital joined the fine 18:59 food and all those wonderful commodities. 19:04 It's very expensive. 19:08 Let's go see what the Bible says. You know, we ask 19:10 ourselves away, talking about food and eating and all these 19:13 things. Why not prophecy? You know, this is part 19:17 between his messages and if you have not seen it, take a quick 19:21 look at it. Revelation chapter 14 verse 6, 7, 19:26 revelation, 14, 6, 7, Then I saw another angel flying in the 19:31 midst of hadn't having the everlasting gospel to preach to 19:36 those who dwell on the Earth to every nation tribe, tongue and 19:41 people same with a loud voice feared lot 19:45 and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment has come 19:50 and worship him who made heaven and earth the sea and all the 19:55 springs of water 19:58 fear got that means Reverend Scott. 20:03 There's more that we could talk about in these versus but 20:06 notice that he says and good 20:08 long read to him. How can we give glory to him? 20:15 One of them is by being slow to speak and swift to hear 20:20 and letting our light so shine before people that they may see 20:26 and hear our good works N 20:28 glorified and our father in heaven. 20:33 But also 20:35 in this verse, First Corinthians chapter, 10 20:39 verse $0.31. Therefore, whether the eat or drink or what? 20:46 And for you to do all to DUP glory of cars. 20:51 So you see as you look at this first and connect, it would 20:55 revelation 14, 6, 7, You can see that this is part 21:01 of the 3 and just missed us 21:03 preserving 21:05 as best as possible. The health they got has given you 21:09 in 3rd, John, Chapter 2, verse 2, very well-known. Be love it. 21:13 I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health. 21:20 Just ask your soul prospers. 21:24 And during the time that we're living in his living and has 21:27 become more and more important 21:31 to take care of your health, keep your immune system. 21:37 Optimal condition 21:39 from time dot com. 21:42 There's a quote that I bring to you by Alice Park 9/15/2022. 21:49 We are going through an era of epidemics 21:52 and pandemics and they are going to be more complex and 21:57 more frequent says Jeremy Farrar director of well come 22:02 That's W E L L C O and E a global Health charitable 22:07 foundation that addresses health challenges. So 22:10 apparently we're going to an era of pandemics and increasing 22:16 amount of diseases and God has given his people instruction on 22:22 how to keep our bodies healthy 22:26 and avoid disease us. 22:29 And this is found 22:31 and God's holy word. 22:34 It begins in Genesis Chapter one. 22:38 This is something that is used to illustrate this idea of 22:41 taking care of our body. 22:43 If you have, if you purchase an item, you get a an owner's 22:47 manual and there are the instructions on how to protect 22:51 and use the item so that you can enjoy it for a long time. 22:56 And normally we say when you buy a car, you get a an owner's 23:01 manual and then it talks to you about what kind of gasoline to 23:05 use when to change the oil, what kind of loyalty use and 23:09 what kind of antifreeze and all of these other things you have 23:12 to do. 23:14 So if you choose to ignore the instructions in the owner's 23:19 manual, you're going to have on desirable consequences. 23:23 If your car calls for regular gasoline and you decide that 23:27 you don't want to pay those high prices, 23:30 why tomato juice is cheaper. 23:33 I'll just put some tomato juice in there. 23:37 You won't go very far 23:39 and your car will not last very long. 23:42 In the same way 23:43 God has given us and instruction manual. 23:47 It's in the scriptures. 23:49 And if we follow this, 23:51 we will have good results would use Amen to that. 23:55 It starts in Genesis. Chapter one verse. 29 before sin 23:58 entered the world. It says got it. 24:02 And that's it. See, I have given you every herb that 24:05 you'll seed, which is on the face of all the earth and every 24:08 tree holes, fruit use C 2, you should be for food. 24:16 That was the diet. 24:18 And thanks be to the Lord. He gave a great variety 24:23 for us to eat. Amen. 24:26 We will get tired of just potatoes, 24:30 just potatoes, breakfast, lunch, dinner, potatoes, 24:34 potatoes, potatoes, day in day out week after week, month 24:38 after month. You can have them fried boiled mashed or 24:41 whatever, but eventually 24:43 he gets a little oldest son. 24:46 So God has given us a variety and we praise his name for 24:49 that. That was the diet for Adam and Eve. And that was so 24:52 that was 24:53 to be the diet for the human race. 24:57 Had they not send internally? Yes, had the knots in that 25:02 meeting. 25:03 No fast food, you know, burgers and fries. 25:07 No stakes, 25:09 no barbecue 25:11 raves or otherwise. 25:14 This was the diet that God gave to us. 25:18 Well, and I'm in the sun as we know 25:25 after saying We have 25:27 Genesis Chapter 3 25:29 for 17 to 19. Then got then to Adam. He said because you have 25:34 heeded the voice of your wife and have eaten from the tree of 25:39 which I commend that you saying you shall not eat of it. 25:42 Kerr says the ground for your sake in toil, you should eat of 25:46 it all the days of your life bowl, Florence and pesos is 25:51 she'll bring for to you and you should eat the herb of the 25:56 field 25:57 in the sweat of your face. You show a bread till you 25:59 return to the ground for out of it. You are taken for dust. 26:03 You are and to dust, you shall return. So now gods got Ed 26:08 stuff, the herbal the field, which includes the stuff that 26:11 grows underground, 26:13 which are the teams. I potatoes good to meet a man. They're 26:17 good to eat. 26:19 And so we have a variety. So please note is that even 26:23 after saying 26:25 the diet does not include meat, 26:28 now we we we can understand that eventually after sent 26:33 people began to eat meat, 26:37 there's not much evidence or any evidence of 26:41 people eating meat 26:44 before the flight, 26:46 but you can imagine that they did it. 26:49 We do have evidence, but you can imagine that they fit. 26:52 So after for after the flood, 26:55 we go to Genesis Chapter 7. 26:57 First one to 3. This is what God says. 27:01 Then the Lord said to normal coming to the arc and all your 27:05 household 27:06 because I have seen that you are right. Just before me in 27:09 this generation. This is before the flood. You should take with 27:12 you 7 each of clean animals, a male and his female to each of 27:18 animals that are unclean, a male in his e-mail. Also 7 each 27:22 birds of the air, male and female to keep the species 27:27 alive on the face of all the year. The reason I read this is 27:30 because even before the flood there is a 27:36 a characteristic they got brings out that there are clean 27:40 animals and 27:42 unclean animals, 27:45 clean animals and unclean Adams. Now, that doesn't mean 27:48 that they have some have good hygiene and some don't. It is 27:52 talking about the way they behave the way they eat 27:58 and these animals that are on clean. You can see in the Bible 28:03 that when we get to live in a key step to 11 Deuteronomy kept 28:06 a 14. These are the animals to eat. Does the garbage of the 28:10 earth, the dead and and dine things do robbing things of 28:15 that of the years. They are the garbage cleaners and collectors 28:19 of the earth and even in the water 28:22 such as shrimp and lobster, they eat dead and dying things 28:26 and clean up the ocean. 28:29 So these are the animals that are unclean and because they 28:33 are unclean, they have a high year amount of things that can 28:38 be harmful 28:40 to your health. 28:42 If you understand, can you say men? 28:45 So now we move to a Genesis chapter 9 verses one through 5. 28:49 This is the diet that God gave to 28:53 2 people, a man and women after the flight. 28:58 So God blessed knowing his son and said to them, be fruitful 29:01 and multiply and feel the earth and the fear of you and the 29:05 dread of you shall be on every beast of the art and every bird 29:09 in the air and all that more when the earth and on all the 29:13 fish of the sea, they are given into your hand every moving 29:18 thing that led Shelby Food for you. I have given you all 29:22 things even as the green herbs, but you should not eat flesh 29:25 with its life and that is its blood. So we have here they got 29:30 now for the first time after the flood is saying you can 29:35 eat, 29:38 did he mean all animals? He says every moving thing 29:43 and if that would be a misunderstanding, you can see 29:46 it clarified in Leviticus Chapter 11 when God gives 29:51 details about which animals are clean and which animals are 29:55 unclean. We now move to Leviticus Chapter 11 29:59 Leviticus Chapter 11. If you found it. 30:02 Same in. 30:04 We have one witness. We need to 30:07 to a man very good 30:11 Leviticus, 11. I need to read verses one through 8 quickly. 30:14 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron saying to them speak to 30:18 the children of Israel saying these are the animals which you 30:22 may eat among all the animals that are on the earth among the 30:26 animals, whatever divides the hook, having moment holds and 30:30 joined the cut that you may eat. This includes couse. 30:34 Nevertheless, these you shall not eat among those to chew the 30:38 cud or those to have clothing hopes the camel. 30:44 I don't hear anybody lamenting that. You cannot eat camels 30:48 because it used to cut but does not. E does not have clothing. 30:52 Hopes is unclean to you. 30:56 The rock high racks because he choose the couple does not have 31:00 cloven hooves is unclean to you the hair 31:03 because the Jews the cut but does not have clothing. Hoax is 31:06 unclean to you and the swine. Now here's where people begin 31:09 to lament 31:11 swine that sport the device to hold having cloven hooves yet 31:17 does not to the cup. The cut is unclean to you. Their flash. 31:23 You should not eat and their carcasses. You should not 31:26 touch. They are on clean to you. Why? 31:30 Because they have a higher possibility of giving you some 31:36 sickness and God wants his people to beat. 31:41 So there's more information in a bid to get help to 11. 31:45 You can also read Deuteronomy chapter 14. We do not have the 31:48 time to be to go detail by detail. Please read it. 31:54 I now move to Leviticus Chapter 11 verse. 46 47. 31:58 This is the law of the animals and the birds and every living 32:03 creature that moves in the waters and a baby creature that 32:07 creeps on the earth to distinguish between the unclean 32:12 end, the clean and between the animal that may be eaten and 32:16 animal and the animal that may not be eaten. So God in his 32:20 marvelous with system. He knows all the animals he created. 32:26 He knows how we are made 32:30 has given us instruction 32:32 as to how we may eat what is best 32:38 now I bring out this message that may shock some people 32:45 to some. They will be delighted. They'll be delighted 32:48 to hear this. 32:49 It is not a sin to eat meat. 32:55 It is not a cent. You cannot find in the Bible. That is says 33:00 it's a sin to eat meat. 33:04 We all agree on that. Would you say that 33:08 it is not a sin we need. 33:15 However, 33:16 if you want the best 33:18 for your family, for your health, 33:21 take a look. God's original plan. Take a look. 33:27 There was no flesh me to eat. 33:32 So please understand that if you choose to eat meat, 33:37 the clean animals. 33:40 I also like to add this. 33:42 If you choose to leave the clean animals, 33:46 I guess he put it in order of possibilities. 33:50 It's best that you grow your own 33:54 that way. You know, 33:56 they don't have growth hormones and they don't have all these 34:00 other things. They're adding to animals to, to make them beef 34:04 up faster 34:07 because those growth hormones you are eating. 34:11 And I can tell you that in the 50's 34:15 if not after 34:17 in Puerto Rico, 34:20 I heard a message. 34:22 I didn't live in the 50's, but I heard that this happened. 34:28 I was born 1959, by the way. 34:30 So this was this was sometime in the past. 34:35 Boyce. We're growing breasts like girls. 34:43 They traced it 34:44 at that time. 2 chickens 34:48 at that time. Now the U.S. since the 50's has banned and 34:54 the use of growth hormones in chickens. 34:58 That's a good thing when you think 35:00 they have banned the use of growth hormones in chickens, 35:03 do they all follow this? I don't know. 35:06 So if you've been a chicken, 35:08 hopefully it's one that you have in your backyard. 35:12 But if you're going to the market, 35:14 please understand there's greater risk. 35:18 Now, some people think that they do add growth hormones to 35:21 chickens. There's no evidence of that. 35:27 Some people think they put steroids and chickens 35:31 and really all those thousands and millions of chickens didn't 35:34 have time to be injecting chickens 35:37 with steroids. They don't. 35:39 The chicken's eye now growing much bigger 35:43 because of selected selective breeding. 35:47 The bigger chickens 35:48 I put with the bigger roosters. So they produce bigger chickens 35:54 and it's come to the point that they now much or faster than 35:58 ever. He used to be 90 something days now and about 46 36:02 states. There's a fully mature chicken 36:05 because that about 46. 45 46 days? They already ready for 36:08 the market. Ready to be 36:10 Eaton, ready to be put out. 36:13 And so 36:16 please understand these things. There's much research on this 36:19 and some of these chickens are not even able to stand and 36:22 because of the amount of weight that they have because of 36:26 selective breeding 36:31 encourage you to take these things into consideration. 36:34 If you're going to eat meat, grow your own, if you can't, 36:38 then you have to go to second best. You have to buy it in the 36:41 store 36:42 and you have to make decisions concerning that. 36:46 I bring to you all. So boy said there's so much to share. 36:50 I had the opportunity to listen to a federal meat inspectors. 36:57 He was retired at that time. So he felt at liberty to share 37:03 what he heard and saw. 37:05 And I can tell you 37:07 that one time he was inspecting a facility for tickets 37:14 and he said there are violations here. And I put a 37:18 stop to this conveyor belt of chickens floating by Oracle 37:22 going by. 37:23 And they say you can't do that. 37:25 Yes, I can. 37:28 I am a federal meat inspectors. I have the authority and the 37:32 supervisor, though, you can do that. You can't do this. 37:34 And so that supervisor that a higher supervisor and he came 37:37 and yelled at the man and he said it, I am not authorizing 37:42 you to do this. Shut this machine off and it was shut 37:44 off. 37:45 He says, you know, you haven't heard the last word yet. 37:47 So he went and talked to the big boss 37:50 and the big boss came. What are you doing? 37:53 You don't know what's going on. Don't do this to us. We need to 37:56 have this machine going. 37:59 And when you correct the violation, it's when I will 38:03 give authority for this to continue. 38:07 And the yelling in the yelling continue to. He said, I'm done 38:09 talking to you. I already told you when you correct. That's 38:12 when we can do this. 38:15 He said about 2 or 3 minutes later he got a call from his 38:19 boss. 38:20 This said 38:22 I will say his name. 38:25 What are you doing? What's going on there? They have 38:27 violation this violation, this violation and this violation. 38:31 I cannot allow them to this. 38:35 I'm just going make up the name. Frank, 38:38 do you don't understand 38:40 if you don't give them authority to do this? 38:45 They're going to have serious trouble with thousands of 38:47 chickens. They're going to be too big to be able to fit 38:51 through the holes they have in the in the in the whole system. 38:56 I'll stop the story there. 38:58 This thing is such a in issues the way they do these things 39:02 that 39:05 they have it all calculated. Now want to talk to you about 39:08 blue zones. Have you heard a blue zones? Blue zones? There 39:12 are 5 blue zones in the world. 39:14 The cost of the blue zones resulted from demographic 39:17 warden by Dme 39:20 Hess and Michael Pollan. 39:22 Our poll line. I'm not sure how you pronounce it. In 2004, 39:26 they identified several places. One can now. What 39:31 protect your Japan, 39:33 new oral province, Sardinia, Italy, the Nicoya Peninsula, 39:38 Costa Rica, 39:39 Ikaria, Greece and Loma Linda, California 39:43 in the United States. And the people that live in these blue 39:48 zones mostly eat a plant based diet. 39:54 That means they are vegetarians and they also do regular 39:57 exercise. They lay of these people in the blue zones 40:02 up to 10 years more than the regular population. 40:06 Is it worth it 40:08 up to 10 years? More of life by following a vegetarian diet? 40:13 How many think it's worth it when you say meant 40:16 how many think is not worth it? 40:19 It is worth it. 40:21 Now it says Here 40:23 Loma Linda, 40:26 California is home of to a large community of 7 Day 40:29 Adventists, a religious group that typically follows a 40:32 vegetarian diet and avoid alcoholic beverages. 40:35 Individuals in this community have been shown to outlive the 40:39 average American by nearly a decade. 40:43 Praise the Lord. 40:48 What you eat affects your brain and your thinking process too. 40:54 This is 1, 1, of my hobbies to study how the brain works 40:58 and I'm getting to you from Souter help dot org. 41:03 What we are not always told is that good nutrition significant 41:07 significantly affects our mental health, too. 41:12 A healthy well-balanced diet can help us think clearly and 41:17 feel more alert. 41:19 It can also improve concentration and attention 41:22 spent. 41:24 Conversely, 41:25 an inadequate diet can lead to fatigue, impaired 41:28 decision-making and can slow down reaction time. In fact, 41:34 a poor diet can actually aggravate and may even lead to 41:38 stress. And the pressure 41:41 living in these lacked last ace 41:44 should should we risk ourselves eating things that's going to 41:48 affect our thinking process and slow our cars or impair our 41:52 concentration and focus and attention span. 41:56 We should keep away from those things that we understand are 42:00 going to limit our thinking process 42:03 and cause us to 42:06 not be able to think clearly now, please understand that you 42:10 can be a vegetarian 42:14 and eat on a large amount of sugar 42:18 and you still going to have that problem. 42:21 So we need to be 10 threat and need that which is good for 42:25 food and good to build your inmate immune system. 42:31 Why do we need to do this? Why is it important? First 42:36 Corinthians chapter 6, 42:39 first 1920 42:42 or do you not know that your body is docked? 10 poll of the 42:46 Holy Spirit? Who is in you whom you have from God and you're 42:50 not you're all for you were bought with a at a price. 42:54 Therefore glorify God 42:57 in your body and your spirit, which are gods because we 43:02 belong to the Lord. 43:04 And because our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, 43:08 we are 43:10 under responsibility to keep it in the most health condition 43:15 possible. 43:17 Would you say to that? 43:19 Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit? Lot a great 43:24 privilege. We have. 43:26 We don't have time to talk about alcohol and the danger it 43:32 is and the damage it does to your body and your health. 43:36 This is something that is out there. 43:40 But we already read first Corinthians 10. 31, whether you 43:44 eat or drink whatsoever, you do do all to the glory of God. 43:50 So if you if you are drinking, 43:53 this affects your thinking process. It has been shown its 43:56 is scientific evidence on this. So 44:00 if anybody here 44:03 drinks alcohol, I encourage you to leave it alone. Do yourself 44:09 a favor 44:10 again, I say to you, it is not a sin to eat meat. 44:17 I'm going to read to you from 44:19 testimonies, volume 9 44:22 page, 159. 44:25 We do not mark out any precise lines to be followed in diet. 44:31 But we do say that in countries where there are fruits, grains 44:37 and not in abundance, flesh food is not the right food for 44:42 God's people. 44:45 I have been instructed that flash food 44:48 and tend to see tendency to analyze the nature 44:54 to rob men and women of that love and sympathy, which they 44:59 should feel for everyone 45:01 and to give the lower passions control over the higher powers 45:07 of the B 45:08 if meeting was ever helpful, 45:12 it is not safe. Now. 45:15 Cancers, tumors and pulmonary diseases are largely caused by 45:21 meat eating. 45:23 This is almost about 100 years ago. This is this was written 45:28 back. Then 45:31 he was if he was ever safe. 45:34 The statement says it is not safe now. 45:37 Sophie was not state. Then it's a safe now. 45:40 I would say not 45:44 if you're able to have your chicken. So whatever clean meat 45:48 that you want me and you're growing it yourself. This is 45:51 the best. 45:52 What's out there. 45:55 The Bible doesn't say 45:57 it is a cent to eat meat. Unfortunately, 46:00 we do have people that go to extremes. 46:05 On one side. You have some vegetarians. They looked down 46:08 upon those that are not vegetarians. 46:12 God would have us do so. 46:15 We should exhort one another in love. 46:19 On the other side, you have those that don't want to be 46:22 vegetarians for some reason. 46:26 I heard one person say 46:29 and this was unfortunate. The experience of this lady 46:33 when she became a 7 day Adventists 46:36 a lot of brother and came to she to become a vegetarian. 46:39 This is this is the best thing. And she felt pressured to do 46:42 Sul and became a vegetarian. 46:47 She was unhappy 46:50 and then she went back to me eating 46:53 and big because of the way he was treated but eventually 46:55 ceasing to go to another extreme and said I will become 46:59 a vegetarian when the Lord 47:01 impresses me to do so or shows me that I should be one. 47:06 Well, there's plenty of information 47:08 that let you know, 47:10 the best diet. 47:12 It's a healthy 47:14 plant based diet. 47:16 And this is what 3ABN Percents, 3 of you, every sense on many 47:20 of its programs, 8 47:22 vegan vegetarian diet, many wonderful health programs on 47:29 3ABN, 47:30 many wonderful 47:32 programs on 3.80. And I could mention some of them. And you 47:36 may know some of these as well. 47:39 There is abundant living. 47:41 There is. 47:44 I'm trying to yes. The vine prescription. 47:47 There's for help. From Cigna. Just sickness to health and 47:52 even wonderful. 47:54 The gun vegetarian recipes are offered on the 3ABN today 47:57 program on Wednesday. CE 47:59 Good information. Good, wonderful health seminars to 48:03 give you the best choice. 48:08 Each one of us has to make their own decision. Remembering 48:11 that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and to be 48:15 temper it. 48:17 I want to talk to you about 48:19 my personal experience in some way. 48:25 I was raised on the Spanish community 7. They have been to 48:28 some 48:30 and through the way I came in or or the way I did the 48:34 churches. I wasn't it was not a lot of emphasis placed on being 48:38 a vegetarian. So we ate meat. 48:42 I said as a child I was I would eat beef. 48:46 >> And fish, chicken, turkey. 48:50 And I'm not I'm not I want to make anybody hungry. 48:53 >> But these were things that we fried chicken and barbecue, 48:56 whatever you want, those things 48:58 eventually had to make my own decision. And I could tell you 49:01 about Temperance. I was one of the most intemperate 49:04 individuals that there could be. 49:09 I almost classify myself as probably a beast in the area of 49:13 in temperance 49:15 because I would be breakfast 49:17 and then at work we would have a break about 10:00AM 49:22 and I will go in there and get myself a Danish or a doughnut 49:25 in some jewels or something else. I'm kind of snack and yet 49:28 again, 2 times 49:31 and then came lunch about 12. We went out or I have my own 49:35 lunch and I would eat again 49:39 and then about 03:00PM. We had another break at work. 49:44 And guess what? 49:45 I again 49:48 and there came a time when I had 2 jobs 49:51 at the end, working at 60, leaving at 5 from one job 49:54 getting to 06:00PM to the next job. 49:58 And I would work to midnight sometimes to 01:00AM. 50:02 And in that other job around 09:00PM, they gave us a break 50:08 and I didn't always bring something to eat. Some go to 50:11 the machine 50:12 and get myself a turkey sandwich 50:15 and I ate 50:17 again 50:19 all those times I would eat. 50:23 I was even shocked at myself. 50:26 Sometimes I came home at midnight 12:30AM, one, 30 am. 50:31 And I said what? 50:33 How many? 50:35 After eating all those times? I'm hungry. 50:38 I said no, this can't be possible. It can't be hungry. 50:40 I have eaten so much already. 50:42 You know that 2 or 3 times 50:46 heat something again, 50:49 I interpreted as I was hoping, you know, what really was 50:52 happening after doing some research in this area? 50:55 My body was saying I am so tired. 50:58 My digestive system was all over, worked all day long. 51:02 Hardly any break. And I interpreted that as being 51:05 hungry. But that was 51:07 worn out by justice system. And I would 51:11 put some more food in there for it to digest. 51:14 Only 51:16 it's about one 30 in the morning now only to begin the 51:19 process city and again, about 06:30AM, in the morning. 51:24 And I began reading and one of the books I read was Ministry 51:27 of Healing. 51:29 The Help Me make decisions to eliminate all those in between 51:33 meals. 51:34 So 51:35 this was back in the 80's. So back in the 80's eliminated 51:41 all those in between meals. And I have to tell you, and 51:45 some of you may know this 51:48 all those times that was seeding. 51:50 I really didn't gain much weight. 51:53 Some people gain weight easier than others. 51:57 And we need to be careful not to judge those people 52:01 because they appear to the weight gain weight with very 52:05 little food. 52:07 My wife has also said he eats the food and I gained the 52:11 weight. 52:12 [MUSIC] 52:15 Some people gain weight easily. 52:20 There are some skinny people, 52:23 so-called skinny people that are gluttons. I was one of 52:26 them. 52:27 So let's not judge one another but help one another and pray 52:31 for one another and encourage one another 52:34 because us 52:35 that's what God would have us to deal. 52:38 We are all God's family 52:41 and we need to help one another 52:45 time is quickly running out. 52:49 Yes, first coming to us 9.24, are you ready? First going just 52:53 9.24. It's S 52:55 do you not know that goal? So run in a race all run, 52:59 but one 53:00 received the price run in such a way that you may obtain 53:05 and everyone who competes for the price is 10 great in all 53:08 things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, 53:12 but we foreign in perishable crown. Therefore, I runned us 53:17 now it's uncertainty. Dust. I fight not just one hole beats 53:20 the air, but I discipline my body and bring it into 53:24 subjection less. When I have preach to others, I myself 53:30 should become disqualified. 53:33 So brothers and sister we by the grace of God, 53:37 power of self-control, 53:40 overeating 53:42 and we by the grace of God can't stop eating in between 53:46 meals. I don't know if anybody here eats in between meals. 53:50 So if this camp meeting, one change that you can make in 53:54 your life is to stop eating in between meals, let that be the 53:58 one. 53:59 If there's one, 54:02 if there are more that need to be done by God's power because 54:05 you shall receive park 54:09 and we can be over commerce by the grace of the Lord. 54:13 So I encourage you 54:16 if you're eating between meals, let that go. Wait till it's 54:19 time to eat 54:20 before you eat again. 54:22 Don't become what I was. 54:25 It is not. And thanks to the Lord I left that because I'm 54:28 sure I would have been sick by now or in the hospital. 54:31 I'm sure you've heard that story. Some kind of a 54:33 documentary. Somebody decided, boy, I'm not to mention the 54:36 name of the fast food restaurant, 54:38 but the person decided to eat fast food, only breakfasts, 54:42 fast food, lunch and dinner at a particular restaurant. 54:45 He was going to do that for a year. Anybody remember how long 54:48 it lasted. 54:51 Somebody said 30, they somewhere between 30 days and 3 54:54 months, 54:55 he was having symptoms of heart disease, having all kinds of 54:58 sit symptoms of diseases. He decided 55:01 that he better stop 55:03 before he found himself to an early grave. And a lot of 55:06 people are eating themselves to an early grave when God has 55:11 given us information that helps us to be served the best health 55:16 possible. 55:18 So many things I wish we had time to share. 55:21 There's more information from this meat inspect offender meat 55:24 inspector 55:26 that time ran out 55:29 to share that. 55:30 Wow, should I share this one? 55:34 He said, 55:35 you know, those meals that they call tenderloin. 55:40 He said they take the little calf and put them in these 55:42 little boxes 55:45 so they can run here and there 55:47 and their meat is nice and soft 55:51 and they don't really get to run and develop themselves. 55:55 And these little animals 55:58 are more prone to disease. It's the sort of tenderloins. 56:03 He also said 56:05 that, 56:07 you know, those labels they put on prime tender choice, 56:09 whatever choice, meet whatever the U.S. he says, we do not. 56:13 We cannot inspect every single animal we can't. 56:16 We inspect a lot 56:19 in in words, a shipment of of cows are each shipment of 56:24 these. They test a few and declare the whole thing. 56:27 They're good to eat. And this is the great that we're getting 56:30 it. 56:31 He also said 56:33 there is no inspection for seafood, 56:39 no inspections whatsoever. So whatever you see in the 56:42 market 56:43 that is seafood has never been inspected. There are no 56:46 regulations. Sport. 56:50 I bring to you now. 56:53 Romans 12% in 2. 56:55 I beseech you, therefore, brother and by the mercies of 56:59 God that you present your bodies, a living sacrifice, 57:02 holy acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service and 57:07 do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the 57:12 renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that could 57:16 and acceptable and perfect will of God 57:21 by the grace of the Lord because would coddle things up 57:24 off possible. We can have power of self-control. Would just say 57:29 amen to that. A man 57:31 [MUSIC] 57:36 [MUSIC] 57:41 [MUSIC] 57:46 [MUSIC] 57:51 [MUSIC] 57:56 [MUSIC] |
