00:18 >>John Bradshaw: This is It Is Written. 00:20 I'm John Bradshaw. Thanks for joining me. 00:23 I wonder if we're convinced yet. 00:25 I think we are, basically, when it comes to seatbelts. 00:29 The modern seatbelt was invented in 1959 by an engineer at Volvo. 00:33 New vehicles weren't required to have seatbelts 00:36 in the United States until 1968. 00:39 And it wasn't until the mid-'80s that states started making 00:42 the wearing of seatbelts mandatory. 00:45 But now, authorities say that wearing seatbelts 00:48 saves as many as 15,000 people a year in this country-- 00:52 and, of course, many more around the world. 00:55 I wouldn't think of driving without one. 00:56 I hope you're the same. 00:58 We're convinced now about smoking, I think. 01:01 While there are still plenty of people who smoke, 01:04 doctors no longer prescribe tobacco products 01:07 for lung ailments like they used to years ago. 01:10 Smoking isn't permitted on public transport. 01:13 I can recall sitting on a plane 01:15 one row behind the smoking section. 01:18 As a nonsmoker, it wasn't a lot of fun. 01:21 Seems hard to imagine now, but now we see cancer death rates 01:25 trending downwards in the United States, 01:27 thanks largely to improved treatment for lung cancer 01:31 and because fewer Americans are smoking. 01:34 So we're convinced-- at least officially. 01:37 We quit bloodletting years ago. 01:39 We figured out that mercury is bad for you. 01:42 Lobotomies have fallen out of favor. 01:43 People now wear sunscreen. 01:46 And we know to put our children in car seats, 01:48 which, like seatbelts, weren't mandated until the mid-1980s. 01:54 But there's something else, 01:56 and I'm not sure we're convinced yet. 01:59 We should be, but I don't think we are. 02:01 And the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed this, I think. 02:05 Let me share something with you, kindly, with malice toward none, 02:11 and in the hope that this will benefit you 02:13 or someone you know or love. 02:16 When the pandemic broke out, it became clear 02:18 that some people were more vulnerable than others. 02:21 We heard about comorbidities, additional diseases 02:24 or conditions that might be present in a person. 02:27 If you had certain comorbidities, 02:29 they could make COVID-19 a lot more challenging. 02:32 And we understand that. 02:34 If you had advanced liver cancer, say, 02:36 and then you get hit with an aggressive virus, 02:38 it doesn't take a genius to figure out 02:40 that that could complicate matters. 02:42 Emphysema, chronic bronchitis-- rough when it comes to COVID-19. 02:47 Understandable. 02:48 And some of those comorbidities, not much you can do about them. 02:52 It's very hard to wind the clock back on emphysema, 02:55 for example. 02:56 Sickle cell disease-- if you have it, you have it. 02:59 Heart failure--no magic wand to take that away, 03:02 meaning that if COVID-19 comes near, it's a serious threat. 03:07 But here's the thing. It was during the pandemic 03:10 that a lot of people realized they had comorbidities 03:13 that they could do something about. 03:16 The pandemic arrived, and there were literally 03:17 millions of people who would have been safer 03:20 had they not been in the position they were in. 03:22 Now, you understand, I'm not finding fault. 03:25 It's when your health is in danger that you realize 03:28 just how important your health is. 03:30 I spoke with a woman recently who told me 03:32 that from out of nowhere she was struck down 03:35 by what she described as "an aggressive form of cancer." 03:39 She said, "At that time, everything changed in my life. 03:43 "I was ready to do whatever I had to do to fight it 03:46 and try to regain my health." 03:48 Thank God, she did just that. 03:50 She told me treatment was tough, but she came through well, 03:54 and today she is doing great. 03:56 I love to hear stories like that. 03:58 But back to my point: 03:59 Isn't it better, as far as you can, 04:02 to avoid being ill and putting yourself at additional risk? 04:07 Some things you can't do much about. 04:09 Even the healthiest people can come down with cancer 04:11 or have a stroke. 04:12 But think about this with me; 04:14 10 1/2% of Americans suffer from diabetes. 04:18 One in three American adults has prediabetes. 04:22 Quoting now from the CDC's website: 04:24 "Prediabetes puts you at increased risk of developing 04:27 type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke." 04:31 And diabetes is a significant comorbidity 04:33 in terms of COVID-19. 04:35 Not that diabetics were ever more likely to get COVID-19, 04:38 but the American Diabetes Association says, 04:41 "People with diabetes are more likely to have 04:44 "serious complications from COVID-19. 04:46 "In general, people with diabetes are more likely to have 04:49 "more severe symptoms and complications 04:51 when infected with any virus." 04:54 So if you could do something about it, wouldn't you? 04:59 Type 1 diabetes is where the pancreas produces 05:02 little or no insulin. 05:03 Your body needs insulin to allow glucose to enter your cells 05:06 and produce energy. 05:08 There's no known way to prevent Type 1 diabetes, 05:11 and about 1.6 million Americans have it. 05:14 But Type 2 diabetes, which is often called 05:18 adult-onset diabetes, now that can be treated. 05:23 In fact, according to the CDC, 05:25 it can be prevented or delayed through lifestyle. 05:30 In fact, the CDC says that major risk factors for Type 2 diabetes 05:34 include age, if you're a little older, 05:37 physical inactivity, and being overweight. 05:41 And, of course, those risk factors 05:43 are all kind of connected. 05:44 So let's look at this. 05:46 You're driving in a car; 05:48 you put on a seatbelt, in case of an accident. 05:51 You quit smoking to avoid lung cancer. 05:54 You wear sunscreen and a hat when you go out into the sun, 05:57 and you put your babies in car seats. 05:59 We call that prevention. 06:01 And as founding father Benjamin Franklin 06:04 is said to have advised, 06:06 "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." 06:11 So what can a person do to take care of themselves 06:14 a little better? 06:15 I'm going to share with you what the experts say 06:18 and give you a number of easy, helpful ways 06:20 that you can tilt the balances in your favor. 06:23 No, this isn't to say you're going to avoid 06:25 every illness that comes by, but it is to say 06:29 that God has given us a lot of guidance 06:31 that we'd be better off following than ignoring. 06:35 David wrote in Psalm 139, verse 14, 06:38 "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." 06:43 And John wrote in 3 John, verse 2, 06:46 "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things 06:50 and be in health, just as your soul prospers." 06:54 This matters to God, and it matters to us 06:57 because our health is important and it's under attack. 07:01 So how can you protect yourself against ill health? 07:05 I'll give you five simple steps in just a moment. 07:09 ♪[music swells and ends]♪♪ 07:19 >>Announcer: Health--you don't know how important it is 07:21 until you don't have it. 07:22 Find out how the immune system works and its important role 07:25 in guarding your health in "How to Boost Your Immunity" 07:28 part 1 of It Is Written's limited series 07:30 Next Level Health. 07:31 To receive this free DVD, 07:32 call 800-253-3000 07:36 or visit iiwoffer.com. 07:38 Learn about simple changes you can make to live a healthy life: 07:42 "How to Boost Your Immunity." 07:43 Call 800-253-3000 07:46 or visit iiwoffer.com. 07:50 >>John Bradshaw: Thanks for joining me on It Is Written. 07:53 Health care is expensive. 07:55 It costs governments billions of dollars a year. 07:58 It costs companies real money. 08:01 The Kaiser Family Foundation said a couple of years ago that 08:04 the average cost of employer-sponsored 08:06 health insurance for annual premiums was 08:09 "$7,188 for single coverage and $20,576 for family coverage." 08:17 In the United States, 08:18 trillions of dollars are spent each year on health. 08:23 So what if we could avoid a bunch of illnesses? 08:27 When you have a friend fighting a cold or the flu, 08:30 aren't you glad you didn't get it? 08:33 It's better to avoid than to recover. 08:36 When I was about 20 years old, I looked down at my father. 08:40 He was in a hospital bed, 08:42 about to be wheeled away to have triple bypass surgery. 08:46 And I knew what got him there. 08:48 It was his lifestyle. 08:49 Not that it was bad; it wasn't. 08:52 What it was...was typical. He lived like everyone else. 08:57 And so he had the same health problems as everyone else. 09:01 And I looked at my father and I thought to myself, 09:03 "I am my father's son. I'm living just like he lived. 09:09 Which means I'm heading to where he is." 09:13 And I didn't want to have bypass surgery. 09:16 So I made a decision right then and there that I'd do 09:19 whatever I needed to do to avoid ending up on a hospital bed 09:22 like my dad had. 09:24 I'm going to share with you what I found out. 09:26 According to the prophet Isaiah, 09:28 followers of Jesus can look forward to a place 09:30 where "the inhabitant shall not say, 'I am sick.'" 09:34 That's Isaiah 33:24. 09:36 John wrote in Revelation that in heaven there'll be no death, 09:39 nor will there be any pain, Revelation 21:4. 09:43 God told Israel on their wilderness wanderings 09:45 that, "I will put none of the diseases on you 09:49 "which I have brought on the Egyptians. 09:51 For I am the Lord who heals you." 09:54 Exodus 15:26. 09:55 Now, again, hear me clearly. 09:58 I'm not saying you'll avoid every illness that comes by. 10:01 But what I'm saying clearly is that we want to give ourselves 10:04 the best chance to live a long happy, productive life 10:09 of service to God and others. 10:12 Here are some of the simple things that you can do. 10:17 Would you like to have a superpower? 10:20 Now, there's Superman and Captain America and Spiderman 10:23 and so on, but according to an Irish neuroscientist, 10:26 you have a superpower. 10:29 Dr. Shane O'Mara, from Trinity College in Dublin, 10:32 says there's something that makes you healthier, 10:35 happier, and smarter, and he says the data prove it. 10:39 He says those who moved the least manifest positive traits 10:44 in the lowest measure. 10:46 But he said, "Walkers have lower rates of depression." 10:49 He says if you keep your walking speed 10:51 up to about three miles an hour for 30 minutes, 10:54 four or five times a week, it does you all kinds of good. 10:58 In a story published by The Guardian in Great Britain, 11:01 Dr. O'Mara says that "essential brain-nourishing molecules 11:05 are produced by aerobically demanding activity," 11:09 and that this causes 11:10 brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels to go up, 11:14 which Dr. O'Mara describes as "a molecular fertiliser produced 11:19 within the brain," increasing "resilience to ageing, 11:23 "and [resilience to] damage caused by trauma or infection. 11:29 "Then there's vascular endothelial growth factor 11:32 "(VEGF), which helps to grow the network of blood vessels 11:36 carrying oxygen and nutrients to brain cells." 11:39 And then, of course, there's the obvious. 11:41 Walking helps with digestion and focus and weight loss 11:44 and cardiovascular health and, well, you name it. 11:48 The vast majority of people can walk. 11:51 If you can't walk a marathon, walk to the gate and back. 11:55 Start where you can and go from there. 11:57 If walking isn't your thing, 11:59 run, or bike, or something. 12:02 But those five simple steps to safeguard your health? 12:06 There's number one: Get moving. 12:11 So what's number two? 12:12 Let's take a look at what people are eating. 12:16 Writing in The Baltimore Sun, Audrey Lawson-Sanchez, 12:20 from a public health advocacy organization, 12:23 points out that UDSA guidelines for a 2,000 calorie-a-day diet 12:29 approve "the daily consumption of 12 teaspoons of added sugar 12:35 "and nearly three Big Macs' worth of saturated fat 12:39 as part of a health-promoting lifestyle," 12:42 which is...absurd, of course. 12:46 She writes that food such as meat-topped pizzas, donuts, 12:50 and cinnamon rolls are marketed as healthy meals 12:54 in public schools. 12:55 Let me quote; Audrey Lawson-Sanchez writes, 12:58 "In reality, most Americans should be reducing the amount 13:03 "of animal protein we eat and boosting our intake 13:06 "of whole grains, vegetables, fruits and legumes. 13:11 "While true protein deficiency is virtually nonexistent 13:15 "in America, 95% of us are fiber-deficient, 13:20 "and only one in 10 meets the bare-minimum requirement 13:24 of five servings of fruits and vegetables per day." 13:28 And we wonder why we're sick. This isn't rocket science. 13:32 What if we thought about what we're eating 13:35 and made better decisions? 13:37 The same writer says, 13:38 "Whole plant foods play an enormous role in preventing 13:42 "and in many cases treating cardiovascular diseases, 13:46 "high blood pressure, diabetes, certain cancers 13:50 "and other devastating chronic illnesses 13:53 "while frequently consuming animal-source foods 13:56 raises our risk for these same deadly diseases." 14:01 So it's pretty simple. 14:03 About 655,000 Americans die from heart disease every year. 14:09 And this is largely why: 14:11 What you put in affects your health directly. 14:16 So a simple fix is eat this and not that. 14:20 And good health doesn't have to be boring. 14:22 Eat good stuff. Find recipes online. 14:26 Get a cookbook like this one written by Dr. Fay Kazzi 14:29 from us here at It Is Written. It's fantastic. 14:33 Any changes you make towards a more plant-based diet 14:36 will be good for you. 14:37 Remember, we're living in a world where more and more people 14:41 are sick, at a time when the healthier you are, 14:44 the better your chances of resisting lifestyle diseases 14:47 and other illnesses that threaten to do you real harm. 14:52 So that's two of our five steps. 14:54 I'll have three more coming up, 14:56 including the story of the Super Bowl winner 14:59 who slept his way to the top. 15:02 ♪[music swells and ends]♪♪ 15:11 >>Announcer: Health--you don't know how important it is 15:13 until you don't have it. 15:14 Find out how the immune system works and its important role 15:17 in guarding your health in "How to Boost Your Immunity," 15:20 part 1 of It Is Written's limited series 15:22 Next Level Health. 15:23 To receive this free DVD, 15:24 call 800-253-3000 15:27 or visit iiwoffer.com. 15:30 Learn about simple changes you can make to live a healthy life: 15:34 "How to Boost Your Immunity." 15:35 Call 800-253-3000 15:38 or visit iiwoffer.com. 15:41 >>John Bradshaw: It was 1882 in western North Carolina 15:45 when 19 men and boys drowned in the Tuckasegee River 15:50 in what was a terrible accident. 15:53 It was an accident that should never have happened. 15:56 In post-slavery America, the men, like so many others, 16:00 had been leased to the state as cheap labor. 16:03 Convict leasing existed in the United States for decades, 16:08 the practice calling into question our notions of freedom. 16:12 ♪[somber music]♪ 16:13 Don't miss "Free Indeed," filmed on location in North Carolina, 16:19 as we look into the subject of freedom 16:21 and ask the question, "Are you really free?" 16:26 Find out where true freedom can be found 16:29 and learn that you don't have to be a slave to the old life. 16:34 Watch "Free Indeed" 16:36 on It Is Written TV. 16:38 ♪[music fades out]♪♪ 16:42 >>John Bradshaw: On February the 7th, 2021, 16:44 a 43-year-old quarterback guided his team to victory 16:48 in the Super Bowl. 16:50 Now, even if you're not a football fan, 16:52 you have to wonder how that could even be possible. 16:54 Quarterbacks simply don't last that long at that level. 16:59 But Tom Brady managed to win his seventh Super Bowl, 17:02 three more than any other quarterback. 17:04 He's won better than 1 in 8 of all the Super Bowls played. 17:09 And then...he signed a contract to keep on playing. 17:13 So what's the key to this athlete's remarkable success? 17:16 He's not bigger, faster, or stronger than others 17:19 who play the game. 17:21 It's interesting; Tom Brady's been really careful 17:23 about his health. 17:24 His diet has been described as ridiculously strict. 17:28 But, in fact, it's just careful, 17:31 not surprising for a person whose body is the main tool 17:34 of his trade. 17:36 But there's something else. 17:37 Neurologist Dr. Michael Howell wrote in the Minneapolis 17:40 Star Tribune that Brady himself has said, 17:44 "Proper sleep has helped me get to where I am today 17:47 "as an athlete and it is something that I continue 17:50 to rely on every day." 17:52 Dr. Howell says, "It would be better to consider restful sleep 17:56 as an all-natural performance-enhancing drug." 18:00 The article was subtitled, 18:02 "His success demonstrates the power of a good night's sleep." 18:07 A report written by researchers from the University of Otago 18:10 in New Zealand and published in Frontiers in Psychology 18:13 shows that sleep quality is "the strongest predictor 18:17 of depressive symptoms and well-being," 18:20 and a more "important predictor of mental health and well-being 18:23 in young adults" than physical activity and diet. 18:26 The BBC reported in February of 2021 18:29 that sleep is becoming really big business, with apps 18:33 and bedtime stories and music and breathing exercises-- 18:37 I'm talking about for adults. 18:39 And they reported that one major survey showed that 18:42 less than half of all adults are satisfied with their sleep. 18:46 Dr. Neil Stanley, a British sleep expert, says 18:49 that people are making it more complicated than they need to. 18:52 He says you need three things to get good sleep: 18:54 a dark quiet cool, comfortable bedroom, 18:58 a relaxed body, and a quiet mind. 19:01 He says anyone can do it tonight. 19:04 And in his words, 19:05 "It doesn't cost a single penny to do any of them." 19:09 If you don't get enough sleep, not good. 19:12 Your mind will become sluggish. 19:14 A whole night without sleep and your mind is in 19:17 about the same condition as if you were legally drunk. 19:20 Dr. Matthew Walker of UC Berkeley says, 19:23 "The memory inbox of the brain shuts down." 19:26 And once you've been awake for 18 hours or so, 19:28 your decision-making and spatial awareness deteriorate. 19:32 A lack of sleep affects your heart. 19:35 Research indicates that on the Monday after daylight savings 19:38 starts in spring, there's a 25% increase in the risk 19:42 of having a heart attack. 19:44 Sleep deprivation affects your endocrine system, 19:47 your immune system. 19:48 In fact, not sleeping profoundly increases your cancer risk. 19:54 It's better to just get some sleep. 19:58 And if you think you can get by on four hours' sleep a night, 20:01 the experts say you really cannot. 20:06 I'm going to give you a fourth step to safeguard your health, 20:09 and these are things anyone can do. 20:12 Remember why it matters. 20:13 First Corinthians 6:19 and 20: 20:16 "Or do you not know that your body is the temple 20:19 "of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, 20:22 "and you are not your own? 20:24 "For you were bought at a price; 20:27 "therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, 20:32 which are God's." 20:33 This matters spiritually. 20:36 Number four: Quit alcohol. 20:39 Now, I know it's fashionable to suggest 20:41 that people reduce their alcohol consumption. 20:44 But the only reduction that really helps you 20:47 is to reduce alcohol consumption to zero. 20:50 You got to love the ads that encourage you 20:53 to "drink responsibly." 20:55 Those ads are encouraging you to drink. 20:58 They say so straight out. 21:00 "Drink responsibly" simply means, "Drink." 21:04 Stop drinking and you'll sleep better, 21:06 and you may well experience fewer mental health challenges 21:09 because alcohol is a depressant. 21:11 It's also a carcinogen. 21:13 Alcohol causes cancer. 21:16 The CDC reports that alcohol can cause injury, 21:19 such as "motor vehicle crashes, falls, drownings, and burns." 21:22 It's responsible for "violence, including homicide, 21:26 suicide, sexual assault, and intimate partner violence." 21:30 It leads to risky sexual behavior 21:32 and the problems that come with that, 21:34 as well as miscarriage and fetal alcohol syndrome. 21:37 A senior author of a health study 21:39 published in The Lancet says, 21:42 "The health risks associated with alcohol are massive." 21:46 The study says there is no safe level of drinking alcohol. 21:51 The study came out of the University of Washington, 21:53 School of Medicine. 21:54 "But wait," I hear someone say. 21:57 "What about the benefits of red wine?" 21:59 Well, let's slow down here. 22:01 There may be beneficial antioxidants in red wine. 22:05 But you do know that you can get antioxidants in blueberries, 22:09 artichokes, and kale. 22:12 And according to the Mayo Clinic, 22:14 studies on resveratrol are mixed. 22:16 Some studies show that it doesn't do anything 22:19 to prevent heart disease, which is the claim so often made. 22:23 And keep in mind, anyone serious about the health of their heart 22:27 is going to find a way to help their heart 22:28 that doesn't include destroying brain cells 22:31 by imbibing something known to cause cancer. 22:34 Here's the Mayo Clinic: 22:35 "Simply eating grapes or drinking grape juice might be 22:40 a way to get resveratrol without drinking alcohol." 22:44 If you want any benefit from resveratrol, 22:47 drink grape juice, or eat grapes, simple. 22:51 And the same source says, 22:53 "There's still no clear evidence that beer, white wine or liquor 22:58 aren't any better than red wine for heart health." 23:03 And not many people are promoting whiskey or beer 23:05 for the health of your heart. 23:06 You know, if you want it, you're going to justify it. 23:10 But if you want to treat your body as the temple 23:12 of the Holy Spirit, then you know what you're going to do. 23:16 So that's four steps to safeguarding your health. 23:20 Let's look at one more. 23:22 Number five, which really is number one, 23:27 and that is...trust in God. 23:31 Look at Isaiah 26 in verse 3: 23:33 "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed 23:36 on You, because he trusts in You." 23:39 Now, how would you like perfect peace? 23:42 There you go. You can have it. 23:45 Keep your mind fixed, focused, on God and His Word. 23:50 Trust in God. 23:52 Psalm 32, verse 10: 23:54 "Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; 23:56 but he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him." 24:01 These are great promises. I'll give you another. 24:04 This is in the book of Proverbs, chapter 3: 24:06 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; 24:08 "and lean not unto thine own understanding. 24:11 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." 24:15 Proverbs 3:5 and 6. 24:17 We're talking about mental health, emotional health, 24:21 spiritual health. 24:22 What we know is that some people cannot exercise 24:25 because of medical conditions. 24:27 They can't be as fit as they'd like because of bad knees 24:29 or a bad back or something like that. 24:32 Some people have tried and tried, 24:35 but if you start with trust in God, 24:38 you'll have the foundation for every other important thing 24:41 in your life. 24:42 It's not easy to have positive interpersonal relationships 24:45 if you're not right with God. 24:47 It's hard to have a happy marriage 24:49 if you're not on the same wavelength as God. 24:52 And trusting God is actually good for you. 24:56 Trusting God doesn't mean everything about your life 24:58 will go right. 24:59 It doesn't mean you won't ever be faced with hardships; 25:02 that's far from true. 25:04 But knowing God, trusting God, it enables you to get through 25:08 those tough times and to see past them, 25:11 to know that there's a better day ahead, 25:13 and to know that whatever you're facing, God is with you. 25:16 Jesus is coming back to this world one day soon. 25:21 If you've accepted Him as your Lord and Savior, 25:23 if you've entered into a relationship with Him, 25:26 you've got absolutely everything to look forward to. 25:30 Allow Him into your life, fully into your life. 25:34 Surrender your life to Him. 25:36 Don't go on resisting. 25:37 Trust in God. 25:39 And all those other things you do to bless your health 25:42 are going to add together 25:43 to give you a happier and healthier life in this world 25:48 and eternal life in the world to come. 25:52 Five steps to safeguard your health, 25:55 and all of them really begin with a step of faith. 26:01 >>John: Thank you for remembering that It Is Written 26:03 exists because of the kindness of people just like you. 26:06 To support this international life-changing ministry, 26:09 please call us now at 800-253-3000. 26:14 You can send your tax-deductible gift 26:15 to the address on your screen, 26:16 or you can visit us online at itiswritten.com. 26:20 Thank you for your prayers and for your financial support. 26:23 Our number again is 800-253-3000, 26:27 or you can visit us online at itiswritten.com. 26:32 >>John Bradshaw: Let me pray with you now. 26:34 Our Father in heaven, we thank You for the gift of health. 26:37 Some of us, we're struggling because of ill health, 26:40 in many cases not because of anything we've done. 26:44 Thank You that You're with us in those moments. 26:47 I pray that, where we can, we'd follow Your leading 26:51 to better health, to safeguard our health, 26:54 knowing that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. 26:59 Thank You that You are the Lord who heals. 27:01 Thank You that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. 27:04 Lord, connect us with Yourself. 27:06 My friend, if there's something you want to surrender 27:08 to God right now, if there's a bad habit, 27:10 if there's an addiction, 27:11 if there's a practice you know is harming you, 27:14 surrender it to God now. 27:15 Would you do it while we pray? 27:17 Lord, here it is. 27:18 Here's that thing that's doing me harm. 27:21 Pray that prayer. 27:23 I yield it to You so You can take it away 27:26 and set me on a more healthy trajectory. 27:29 And we thank You in advance for good health in this world 27:33 and eternal life in the world to come. 27:38 And it's in Jesus' name that we pray. 27:41 Amen. 27:42 Thank you so much for joining me. 27:44 I'm looking forward to seeing you again next time. 27:46 Until then, remember: 27:48 "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, 27:53 but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" 27:57 ♪[dramatic theme music]♪ 28:25 ♪[music ends]♪♪ |
