00:02 The hour is urgent, as darkness is dispelled by the light of
00:07 God's Word. 00:08 A new day begins. 00:11 Jesus, the light of the world is shining. 00:14 Prepare your hearts to proclaim the final cry. 00:18 This is 3ABN Summer Camp Meeting. 00:24 Hello, and welcome to 3ABN's 2025 Summer Camp Meeting. 00:29 Have you all been blessed so far by the messages? 00:32 Amen. 00:33 Amen. 00:34 That's what I like to hear. 00:35 First, I just want to say, and for those who are joining us 00:38 and watching online, I just wanted to say thank you. 00:41 Thank you for your prayers. 00:42 Thank you for your support of this ministry, because it 00:45 allows us and gives us the privilege to spread the gospel 00:48 of Jesus to those who are across the world. 00:50 So thank you very much. 00:51 And I have the privilege to also introduce our speaker for 00:55 the next hour. 00:56 And our speaker is none other than Dr. James Markham. 00:59 Now, he is no stranger to the 3ABN family. 01:01 He's actually been a part of the 3ABN family for about 20 01:04 years now. 01:06 And for 21 years, he is the speaker director of Heartwise 01:10 Ministries. 01:11 And on top of that, he's been in the medical field for about 01:14 34 years and specializes in acute care cardiologists, and 01:19 he works with the Wildwood Lifestyle Institute. 01:23 And for those of you who are here and you have your 01:24 bulletins, you can even read in the bulletin that USA Today 01:28 several years ago actually named him as one of the most 01:31 influential physicians. 01:33 So God has really blessed Dr. Markham with very many gifts. 01:36 And you're going to see some of those gifts today that he has 01:39 been blessed by. 01:40 Now, I've had a chance to get to know Dr. Markham a little 01:43 bit more personally recently because we recorded a new 01:46 season. 01:49 season of ultimate prescription. 01:51 So make sure that you look for that coming out this year. 01:54 But I've had a chance to get to know him on a little bit more 01:56 on a personal level. 01:57 And one thing that you will notice is that he definitely 02:00 has a passion for health. 02:03 But on top of that, he has even a greater passion for sharing 02:07 Jesus to those he comes in contact with. 02:10 And you are going to see that today when he speaks to you and 02:12 ministers to you. 02:14 But before that, we are going to be blessed in song by Pastor 02:17 John Lomacang and Tim Parton. 02:19 And then following that, we will hear from Dr. James 02:22 Marcum as he ministers to us by the guidance of the Holy 02:25 Spirit. 02:26 Amen. 02:59 Master, Savior, my Jesus, Like a fragrance after the rain. 03:20 Jesus, Jesus, oh Jesus, Let all heaven and earth proclaim. 03:41 Kings and kingdom will all pass away. 03:49 But there's something about that name. 04:01 Jesus, Jesus, my Jesus, There's just something about your name. 04:21 For you're my master and my Savior, oh Jesus. 04:30 You're my fragrance after my rain. 04:41 Jesus, Jesus, oh my Jesus, Let all heaven and earth proclaim. 05:03 Kings and kingdoms will all pass away. 05:11 But there's something about that name. 05:37 Hello, everyone. 05:40 It is so nice to be here and let me get set up a little bit. 05:47 We had some wonderful questions that have come in and I hope to 05:52 get at some of these. 05:54 But the Holy Spirit's been moving me in a little bit 05:57 different direction today. 06:00 And I think it's going to be very interesting what we're 06:03 going to be talking about today. 06:06 Let me make sure everything's working here on my end. 06:10 I like to move around a lot. 06:14 And I've been working with people for a long time. 06:19 And I'm not the greatest speaker in the world. 06:25 I'm not the greatest doctor in the world, even though I do 06:29 acute care cardiology. 06:31 And I've learned lifestyle medicine. 06:34 But I like to think that I'm willing to have God work 06:40 through me in different ways. 06:42 And it's very important, I think, to connect with people, 06:47 connect. 06:53 a need. 06:56 And we try to meet people's needs. 07:00 This is sort of Christ's pattern. 07:03 He met their needs first and then he solved their problems 07:08 spiritually and physically. 07:11 So today we're going to do something that's probably never 07:15 been done before. 07:17 Never been done before here today. 07:20 You're going to hear some revolutionary ideas in health 07:25 care, specifically chronic disease. 07:29 And this audience is hearing this for the first time. 07:33 I've never presented this before. 07:35 I've never heard it done before. 07:37 I'm releasing a book about this later this year. 07:41 So it's something that I think, I'm very excited about it. 07:44 I think the Holy Spirit has been a part of this. 07:47 And we're going to talk today, a lot of this will answer your 07:52 questions. 07:56 You know, I couldn't get to all of them right now. 07:59 But I will be around afterwards to meet with you one on one. 08:04 I'm going to give you my email and phone number. 08:06 If I don't meet your needs today, I'll call you and I'll 08:09 deal with it. 08:13 help with, I'll do my best. 08:16 But we're going to learn a lot today just from hearing what 08:21 the Holy Spirit has to say to you and each one of us. 08:25 Today, what I want to accomplish through the power of 08:28 the Holy Spirit, nothing that I do. 08:32 I want to let, you know, everyone's been, has anyone 08:35 ever heard of this maha movement? 08:37 Has anyone heard of maha? 08:39 A few of you have. 08:40 But for those of you haven't, it's make America healthy 08:44 again. 08:45 That's what maha stands for. 08:48 Make America healthy again. 08:50 Everyone throws around acronyms now, you know, a bunch of 08:54 letters that mean words. 08:55 I don't know why that happens, but it's out there. 08:59 Acronyms. 09:00 So they just, the new administration came up with a 09:06 plan. 09:07 Say, listen, we are chronically ill. 09:11 Do anyone think we're chronically ill today? 09:13 Now, I just want to see a raise of hand. 09:16 Do people think that in general, the United States is 09:19 healthier now or 10 years ago? 09:22 Who says we're healthier now as a society? 09:27 Okay. 09:31 Who says we were healthier 30 years ago? 09:35 Okay. 09:36 Now, some do not vote. 09:37 Okay. 09:46 policy is realizing that we spend more money than everybody 09:50 and we're sicker than everybody. 09:53 This cannot continue. 09:55 So I've been fortunate enough to be able to communicate with 09:59 some of these government people. 10:00 And the new administration told the new HHS that stands for 10:07 Health and Human Services. 10:11 They said, we have to do something. 10:13 I'm going to task you. 10:14 You have to do something. 10:15 And just recently they finished with stage one. 10:20 Okay. 10:24 Tell everyone why we have a problem. 10:27 That's stage one. 10:30 And they just released that report. 10:32 And I'm going to go over a little bit of that today 10:34 because I think it's beneficial for us to know. 10:36 Why is that? 10:38 Because we are preparing today. 10:41 I'm preparing. 10:43 You're preparing. 10:44 That's why we're here. 10:45 It's our game time. 10:48 We are preparing to do what? 10:50 Proclaim. 10:52 Now, is that an active word or is that a passive word? 10:57 Yeah. 10:58 We're here to proclaim. 11:00 We have something important to do and we're preparing for that 11:05 because when we leave here this weekend, we're going to 11:08 proclaim what? 11:09 The final cry. 11:11 I don't think it's a cry. 11:12 I would have changed that word. 11:14 We're the final rejoicing. 11:16 Right? 11:18 The final rejoicing. 11:19 That's what we're doing here. 11:20 That's why we came. 11:21 That's why we're here. 11:23 We're preparing. 11:24 Well, so today in getting back to this MAHA movement and the 11:29 Health and Human Services, that they've identified a problem. 11:34 But for today, they haven't come up with the answer yet. 11:39 But today, we as a group are going to introduce the 11:47 solution, the solution to chronic disease. 11:53 And we're going to take that solution as we prepare and 11:57 we're going to proclaim it. 11:59 We are going to proclaim it because we know the solution to 12:03 chronic disease. 12:05 And we're going to talk about that today. 12:07 It's going to answer a lot of people's questions as we talk 12:11 about the solution to chronic disease. 12:14 We're going to be the group that leads out on this. 12:16 Remember, the government has said it's a problem, but they 12:20 haven't come up with a solution. 12:22 Well, why not us give them the solution, right? 12:26 We're going to do some proclaiming. 12:28 Yes. 12:29 We're going to get excited about this because it's our 12:32 game time. 12:33 We're not going to sit by anymore. 12:36 So why is this a problem? 12:38 How did it get everyone's attention, chronic disease in 12:41 the first place? 12:42 Well, last year, 2024, they spent about 4.5 trillion, 12:49 trillion dollars on health care. 12:54 In 2023, 4.9 trillion that comes out about over 14,000 a 13:00 person, 17 to 18 percent of the GDP. 13:03 And of that, 32 percent is government funded. 13:08 OK, guess how much of that money is spent on chronic 13:12 disease? 13:13 80 to 90 percent. 13:15 So the government is saying we have a financial problem. 13:19 That's why we want to solve it, because we can't afford this 13:22 anymore. 13:24 We can't afford this. 13:25 So that's why the Human Health Service were was told we have 13:29 to do something right now. 13:33 It's important what we're talking about today. 13:37 But, you know, when we start talking about important topics, 13:43 I like to have what we call biblical prescriptions, 13:48 biblical promises. 13:50 And before we go any further, I want to go back to Matthew 13:54 seven, where it says, ask and you shall seek and you shall 14:00 knock and it will. 14:03 We're proclaiming, we're preparing. 14:07 But I need the Holy Spirit. 14:09 We all need the Holy Spirit constantly. 14:12 So let's bow our heads. 14:16 Father God, thank you for the power, the power of the Holy 14:24 Spirit. 14:28 We want to give the world the solution to chronic disease. 14:35 They're focusing on the economic standpoint, but we're 14:38 going to focus on something much, much more to the power of 14:42 the truth and the spirit. 14:46 Speak to each heart today and help us to proclaim this 14:51 message. 14:51 The world is our prayer. 14:53 Amen. 14:55 So the world gets all excited about the money part of it. 15:00 And if we think about it right now in Congress, I don't know 15:05 if you know that, but they're trying to pass a spending bill, 15:09 a spending bill because they want more money. 15:11 And right now, the debt, the debt ceiling is thirty five or 15:15 thirty six trillion dollars. 15:18 So you can see why health care is important to people. 15:21 OK, so they understand that our current system in health care 15:26 is not sustainable. 15:28 We can't continue this day in, day out. 15:32 It's not sustainable. 15:33 Even in my practice, you know, we used to see people that we 15:37 were dealing with this fancy modern medicine when they were 15:40 older. 15:41 Seventies and eighties. 15:42 Now I'm seeing it in the fifties and sixties. 15:44 We're doing bypasses and dialysis. 15:47 We're using more and more medicines. 15:48 It's costing lots of money. 15:50 This is not sustainable. 15:53 So the powers that be know it's not sustainable. 15:57 Know we have a problem and they're working right now on a 16:00 solution. 16:02 We're going to have a solution by the time we finish today. 16:05 But what we're doing here as a society, as a world, it's not 16:09 sustainable from a financial input. 16:11 Who is going to finance this debt anymore? 16:15 You know, China has been doing it before. 16:18 But is this a good thing to do to finance this trillion 16:20 dollars and this interest every year? 16:23 So the real impetus for chronic disease originally stern from 16:27 an economic crisis. 16:29 And if we had economic crises before in the earth, yes, we 16:33 have. 16:34 You know, we think back to the time of Joseph. 16:38 They had an economic famine, didn't they? 16:41 They had a famine there and they had to sort of rethink 16:43 things. 16:45 Well, we're going to have to rethink things very, very soon 16:47 from an economic basis or it's going to change the world. 16:50 So the powers that be said that this is not sustainable. 16:54 Chronic disease is a problem. 16:56 Chronic disease is the disease that we carry along with us day 17:00 in and day out. 17:02 Greater than a two or three months at a time. 17:06 Unfortunately, chronic disease eventually damages our organs. 17:10 When we damage the organs, we need modern medicine, right? 17:14 Because we have a symptom, a need. 17:16 We go to the doctor and he treats the symptoms, but 17:20 usually they don't get at the cause. 17:23 So chronic disease doesn't get at the cause. 17:25 Now, there is a place for modern medicine. 17:27 I use it in the hospital. 17:28 You know, there's a place and it's usually to treat 17:31 emergencies. 17:33 It's usually to treat replace parts and bad genes. 17:38 But does it heal? 17:40 No. 17:45 people going long enough that we can introduce them to 17:49 something more important. 17:51 So chronic disease, this is the economic implications of this. 17:55 So they did the focus on our children because the Maha 17:59 people, the HHS said, listen, this new generation, it's going 18:04 to cause a problem. 18:05 These are the people that are going to be earning money, 18:07 paying for these things. 18:09 Let's look at them and let's focus our attention on chronic 18:12 disease on the children. 18:14 So right now, one in five children over the age of six, 18:19 six are obese. 18:23 Six, 40 percent of our children right now have a chronic health 18:28 problem. 18:30 Autism is now found in one of 31 children by the age of 18:35 eight. 18:38 Childhood cancer since 1975 has gone up 40 percent. 18:42 And if that wasn't bad enough, depression is hitting everyone. 18:46 The use of antidepressants since the year 2009, 2019 has 18:54 gone up 1400 percent antidepressants. 19:00 And 2023, three million teenagers thought about 19:04 committing suicide. 19:07 So the Maha people were correct in that we needed to focus on 19:12 our children because if our children are sick, they're 19:15 going to have end organ damage. 19:16 They're going to eat up more expenditure. 19:18 They're not going to be able to work. 19:20 So the first part of the report said that, yes, we have a 19:23 problem. 19:28 sustain this unless we change this generation. 19:30 So almost everyone agrees with that. 19:34 Then the next thing they came up with is the four inputs that 19:39 were causing the children to have chronic disease. 19:43 And follow me here. 19:45 It all had to do usually with lifestyle and inputs. 19:50 Now, this is important because many questions came in about 19:53 different inflammatory conditions, different things 19:56 like this. 19:56 But inputs are very important. 19:59 Everything that comes in our body changes us. 20:03 The food, the thoughts, the words, the way we sleep, it all 20:09 has genetic implications. 20:11 So the Maha people said, yes, the four big things that are 20:15 going to affect our kids that we need to have solutions for 20:19 because of chronic disease, because we need to sustain our 20:22 world and our economy. 20:24 These are the four things. 20:25 Number one that was triggering chronic disease was, guess 20:29 what, ultra processed foods. 20:34 Do people agree with that? 20:35 Yeah, I think we can agree with that. 20:36 That's a problem. 20:42 all the stuff they're putting into that, that's not good for 20:44 our children. 20:47 That's a negative chronic input over time. 20:51 So I think they got that right. 20:52 And it's interesting that the NIH, another acronym, they say 20:58 that they only spent four to five percent of their budget on 21:02 nutrition. 21:03 Well, guess how much the farm, guess how much the food 21:07 industry spent? 21:08 Sixty billion. 21:11 Well, why did they spend so much money, these ultra 21:13 processed foods? 21:17 good, and they want to market it to the kids. 21:21 Is it the best thing? 21:22 Not according to the Maha report. 21:23 This is not sustainable. 21:25 Number two, environmental and chemical exposures. 21:28 We've heard about Roundup and all these chemicals that we get 21:32 in nature. 21:33 That is not a good thing any. 21:36 We hear about GMOs, all those things, all those extra things 21:40 that's damaging children in ways that we don't really 21:43 understand. 21:44 So that was number two. 21:46 Number three, they identified as triggering chronic disease 21:48 in children. 21:50 This was might surprise some people with digital 21:54 entertainment. 21:55 That input. 21:56 They estimate that the average child now, older, is spending 22:01 seven to eight hours on some type of digital entertainment a 22:06 day. 22:07 So the digital entertainment gets in our brains, changes our 22:12 neural pathways. 22:13 It's either going to be a negative or a positive input, 22:15 right? 22:16 It's not neutral. 22:18 So it's not only the food that enters our body, it's the 22:21 things that enter our brains. 22:22 Everything affects everything. 22:23 These are lifestyle and inputs. 22:24 And number four, this was a surprise to everyone. 22:29 This is the maha people saying the fourth thing that really is 22:32 causing this chronic disease in our kids, we have to identify. 22:35 And this came out in the news recently is over 22:38 medicalization. 22:41 We're getting too much. 22:43 Too much medicines, too much this, too much that. 22:46 We're overdoing it. 22:48 Well, guess who wasn't happy about that? 22:52 Big Pharma wasn't too healthy. 22:55 How about the health care industry? 22:57 No, we're not too healthy about that because, you know, end 23:00 organ damage means some funding, right? 23:03 So I applaud them for finally saying that we have a problem. 23:09 So over the next six months, they are tasked with coming up 23:15 with a solution. 23:18 Guess what? 23:20 We are going to go out and proclaim a solution. 23:24 Now, when we think about chronic disease, we talk about 23:27 obesity. 23:28 Forty two percent of Americans are now obese. 23:30 Seventy percent are overweight in all of the chemical changes 23:33 with this. 23:36 And so far, the solution for obesity has been more 23:39 medicines, more bariatric surgery. 23:41 If I have cardiovascular disease, give me a medicine or 23:44 a bypass. 23:48 diabetes, cancer, mental health, COPD. 23:51 Do you believe that 40 percent of children have something on 23:54 this list already? 23:57 This chronic disease is a problem. 24:00 But in looking about this and answering some of the people's 24:03 questions that come in on chronic disease, there are some 24:06 common denominators that I think it's important that we 24:10 put in our brains. 24:11 One of them is this. 24:15 Whenever we have a stress input on our body, no matter what 24:21 that is, if I scare you, adrenaline, if you eat, watch 24:27 something that's upsetting, you make inflammation, 24:31 inflammation. 24:33 Chronic inflammation in the body. 24:35 How many think chronic inflammation is good? 24:39 How many think chronic inflammation is bad? 24:43 How many have no opinion on it? 24:47 Well, chronic inflammation is important. 24:49 The immune system, whenever it sees something it doesn't like, 24:53 no matter what it is, it turns on inflammation. 24:57 Inflammation over long periods of time can damage our genetics 25:02 and inside lining, especially in my disease, the endothelium, 25:06 the lining of the blood vessels. 25:07 And blood vessels go everywhere. 25:10 Brain, heart, kidneys. 25:12 So if you have chronic inflammation, you're 25:15 chronically damaging an organ. 25:17 The organ that damages first is the one that's genetically 25:20 predisposed. 25:21 When it's damaged, you have a symptom. 25:24 You plug into the medical health care system and they 25:27 treat that with usually a procedure, some medical device 25:29 that unfortunately it costs a lot of money. 25:32 This is the part that's not sustainable. 25:35 So if we think about chronic disease, we have to think about 25:40 inflammation and endothelium. 25:43 But now more than that, more than that, we have to think, 25:48 well, if things are causing inflammation, I want to do 25:52 things that decrease inflammation, right? 25:56 That only makes sense as part of the solution to the health 26:00 care dilemma that we're all in. 26:02 Because we want to proclaim something remarkable to the 26:05 world today that they've never heard before. 26:08 In solution to the chronic health, we want to meet the 26:11 need of the world. 26:12 Now the world wants a financial need met, but we want to do 26:16 something more than that, yes? 26:19 Is anyone asleep yet? 26:21 Do I need to ramp it up a little? 26:24 Do I need to get a little more excited? 26:27 As you can tell, I have lived my whole life trying to get 26:32 this word out in learning. 26:34 And the more I learn, the less I know. 26:37 And I realize that there's nothing that I do. 26:40 There's nothing that we do ourselves, nothing, nothing. 26:45 God does not need us, but he can use us for his glory 26:51 whenever he wants. 26:52 So inflammation, endothelium is important. 26:55 But now we're hearing about this, this insulin resistance. 26:59 Have you heard about insulin resistance? 27:02 Yes, that is a bigger chronic problem than we even admit. 27:06 So what insulin resistance is in the simple thing is anytime 27:11 we have stress, carry too much weight on us, we can't get 27:15 sugar into our cells effectively. 27:18 When we can't get sugar in our cells, it affects energy. 27:21 It turns on inflammation. 27:24 It turns up bad things. 27:25 You've heard the metabolic syndrome, high triglycerides. 27:29 But this metabolic system that's triggered by stress, one 27:32 of the stresses of chronic disease is carrying extra 27:35 weight. 27:35 It's a big problem. 27:37 So in dealing with chronic disease, not only do we have to 27:40 deal with inflammation, but we have to deal with some of the 27:43 metabolic changes that's happening in our bodies. 27:47 So there's lots of things that's going on. 27:49 So a lot of people don't even realize what causes 27:53 inflammation. 27:55 What causes inflammation? 27:57 Well, these are some basics. 27:59 If you're dehydrated, you're having inflammation in your 28:03 body. 28:04 Did you know that 75% of people are chronically dehydrated? 28:10 If you're dehydrated, you've turned on this inflammatory 28:13 bandwagon, so to speak. 28:15 Oh, yeah, everyone's... 28:17 It's time to pull out the water. 28:21 The number one cause of daytime fatigue is dehydration. 28:26 Well, that's something that we can let the world know about. 28:29 Listen to this one, movement. 28:31 Did you know that 75% of people do not get enough movement 28:36 every day? 28:38 If you don't give enough movement, it stresses your 28:41 body, turns on inflammation, damages your endothelium. 28:45 Movement, moving. 28:48 Just last week in the New England Journal of Medicine, 28:55 the oncologist published a study, and I thought this was 28:58 fascinating. 29:00 They looked at people with stage 3 cancer. 29:03 That's colon cancer that had spread throughout the body. 29:07 Some of you might have been familiar with this research. 29:10 They followed them for a long period of time and showed that 29:13 those people with cancer that had spread that just started a 29:17 movement program, just a little bit of movement every day, it 29:22 helped decrease cancer by, I wrote this down, it increased 29:27 the chance of dying by 37%, just taking a walk three times 29:31 a week with metastatic cancer. 29:35 And then recurrence, 28%. 29:37 That's just one aspect. 29:39 So I thought that was a very valuable study because it all 29:43 of a sudden shows us that lifestyle has dramatic effects. 29:48 Now they didn't compare it to other things, but can you 29:51 imagine if you put four or five lifestyle factors, those inputs 29:54 that decrease inflammation and compared it? 29:57 Because remember, inflammation damages your genetics, changes 30:00 our tumor suppressor genes, changes mutations in the body, 30:04 does a lot of things. 30:05 Inflammation causes us to get older faster. 30:08 So we don't like inflammation. 30:10 And yet just moving, something as simple as that. 30:12 Now we have evidence-based studies showing the benefit of 30:15 movement in metastatic cancer. 30:17 I know how much it helps in cardiovascular disease, but we 30:20 still haven't compared this apples with oranges. 30:23 We need that. 30:25 That's part of the solutions compared. 30:27 Rest, did you know that 30 to 40% of people don't get enough 30:30 rest every evening? 30:32 And I know that because I got four or five questions 30:35 regarding people not sleeping well at night. 30:37 But all of these things on chronic disease help 30:40 inflammation. 30:41 So it should help all of these problems. 30:43 Here's a big one that I've had to work on. 30:45 Did you know that 85 to 90% of us don't get enough fiber? 30:52 Fiber. 30:53 So only 10 to 15% get enough fiber. 30:56 When you don't get enough fiber, guess what happens? 31:00 Inflammation. 31:01 Now think about the gut. 31:03 There's more DNA in the gut than anywhere in the body. 31:06 There's a trillion microorganisms. 31:09 They call it the microbiome. 31:13 So when you eat fiber, the good bacteria start making a 31:16 chemical called butyrate. 31:18 And all of a sudden the bacteria are happy. 31:21 I finally got something good to work with. 31:23 And guess what happens? 31:25 They make more neurotransmitters that go to 31:28 the brain. 31:29 They turn down inflammation and they tighten up the toxins that 31:33 get in and out of our body. 31:36 And yet the statistics show that only 10 to 15% of people 31:41 get enough fiber. 31:43 That's one of the benefits of eating plant-based diets. 31:47 But I have even added to myself. 31:50 I'm starting to say, hey, listen, I need more fiber in my 31:53 body. 31:56 water. 31:57 I want more fiber every day. 31:58 It's something that God impressed me that I can do 32:01 better. 32:02 I can do better on that. 32:03 And we all have that. 32:04 But remember, we're talking about inputs. 32:06 The average person doesn't get outdoors anymore. 32:09 And we need the sun for vitamin D and these other mitochondrial 32:13 pathways in our body. 32:15 And then the negative. 32:16 We've already talked about the negative of scream time. 32:18 It's going to be a big problem because that creates a negative 32:22 input inflammation in the brain. 32:25 As our brain thoughts change, our ideas change, and our 32:29 ability to communicate with everyone changes. 32:33 So one of the things that I ran across recently is, and this is 32:38 where we're going with this, is a worship deficiency. 32:41 Has anyone ever heard of a worship deficiency? 32:44 Yeah. 32:45 Well, I don't know if I should bring this up, but I will. 32:52 It's been estimated that people that who are professed 32:56 Christians. 32:57 This is from the Pew Research. 33:00 They suggest that only 10 to 20 percent of those people 33:05 actually spend time in Bible study and prayer a day. 33:11 So they have a worship deficiency and a worship 33:16 deficiency puts stress on the system. 33:20 Stress causes inflammation, all sorts of bad things. 33:24 So let's talk a little bit about worship and authority. 33:31 OK, when we think about authority, you think about, and 33:37 I've had this problem for 30 plus years in medicine. 33:40 Who do you listen to? 33:41 Who's your authority? 33:43 And here we go with the acronyms again. 33:46 OK, has anyone heard of the WHO? 33:50 That's the World Health Organization. 33:53 I don't want that to be my authority. 33:55 OK, no, no, no. 33:57 Has anyone heard of the CDC? 33:59 You heard of that one. 34:01 We have the HHS. 34:03 I mentioned that when I have a hard time saying that human and 34:06 health services, I have a hard time saying HHS, but they're 34:09 doing better. 34:10 But they're still not my authority. 34:12 They've identified a problem and they act like they want to 34:14 do something about it. 34:16 But do they really want to do something about it? 34:18 I don't know. 34:19 Do they really want to hear the solution? 34:20 Well, we're going to find out over the next few months. 34:22 We've heard of the NIH, the AMA, the ACC. 34:28 But in medicine, in healing, in life, in relationships, we need 34:35 an authority, a true North, something we can depend on. 34:40 And for me, it wasn't medical textbooks. 34:43 It wasn't necessary scientific literature, which even the 34:47 editors of the Lancet and New England Journal say half of 34:51 that we can't believe. 34:54 So the authority. 34:56 So why this is so important is this is part of the solution 35:00 that we are going to prepare to proclaim to the entire world as 35:05 a solution to chronic illness. 35:09 And here it is. 35:10 This is something I do not want you to forget. 35:14 The authority that I'm proclaiming. 35:15 And I'm going to show you the evidence based science behind 35:18 it in a second. 35:20 Is it big pharma? 35:23 Was that it? 35:25 No, no, no. 35:26 But you know what? 35:27 They have the most money, don't they? 35:29 They, you know, both sides of the aisle are getting big money 35:32 to promote these big pharma things. 35:35 Is it going to be our local provider? 35:38 Well, they might have some good ideas. 35:39 How about friends and family? 35:42 I have this all the time. 35:43 You know, Joe next door. 35:44 So that for this, I should do this. 35:47 Joe's my authority. 35:48 Well, I don't think so. 35:50 You know, so in order to have a solution to chronic health 35:55 care, we have to have an authority. 35:58 And everyone loves acronyms. 36:02 So our authority is a new acronym. 36:05 The W.O.G. 36:07 That is going to be our authority. 36:11 That's what I'm preparing to put in your brains today as a 36:15 solution to our chronic illnesses that the world is 36:19 looking for, that we can take forward now. 36:23 The W.O.G. 36:25 The Word of God. 36:30 This is authority. 36:32 It triumphs everything else out there. 36:36 It's better than the CDC, the NIH, HHS, and AMA and all those 36:39 others when we can think of. 36:41 Right? 36:42 We want to have the W.O.G. 36:45 The world is looking for this answer now because it's not 36:48 sustainable economically. 36:50 I'm saying that it's not sustainable from a healing 36:53 perspective. 36:55 We need the authority in the W .O.G. 36:59 But my friends in Washington say, what is this? 37:04 We can't believe this. 37:06 And I said, well, yes, we can. 37:09 Because the truths in the Bible are far ahead of scientific 37:17 discovery. 37:20 That's why we have biblical prescriptions. 37:24 Let me give you a few examples on that here as we go forward. 37:28 And I apologize. 37:29 I might not get to all of the questions, but I'm going to 37:32 hang around a long time. 37:33 I got 50 here. 37:34 I don't know. 37:35 But I think this is important too. 37:36 Right? 37:37 To get to the world. 37:38 They need to hear about this. 37:39 They need to know about this. 37:42 So the round earth, you know, Isaiah 40 talks about he sits 37:48 above the circle of the earth. 37:51 So the Bible was telling us we had to round earth long before 37:55 Copernicus came around. 37:57 In Job, it talks about weight of the wind. 38:01 That was long before Torricelli showed that the wind had mass. 38:07 We all know about plant-based nutrition in Daniel. 38:11 Remember Daniel in the control group? 38:14 After a short period of time, Daniel and his friends were a 38:17 lot smarter, a lot healthier. 38:20 That was one of the first nutrition studies. 38:22 And we wonder a few hundred years later on the island of 38:27 Kos where Dr. Hippocrates lived. 38:29 He all of a sudden said, let food be thy medicine and 38:33 medicine be thy food. 38:35 Well, he had heard about this study from the Babylonians. 38:38 This wasn't his unique idea. 38:40 I doubt that. 38:42 And guess what? 38:47 which described this in Genesis. 38:50 So all along throughout history, the truths in the 38:56 Bible have been ahead of science. 38:58 So we can apply the Bible truths, even though we don't 39:02 have science to prove it yet. 39:05 Now, Jacob's livestock, remember that story in Genesis 39:08 where they, you know, he threw some branches in there and they 39:12 turned different colors? 39:14 Well, that was one of the first epigenetic studies where we see 39:18 the Agouti gene being methylated, variable penetrants 39:22 in genetics, different genes turned on and off. 39:28 But there's so much more. 39:30 This is the stories we know about. 39:32 But what about all of the things we don't know about all 39:35 of the biblical prescriptions, the biblical truths that have 39:38 physiologic consequence? 39:40 Why do we bring this up? 39:42 Because when people want the authority of the WOG, some 39:46 unbelievers want a little bit of proof. 39:49 So one of the biblical prescriptions that I like to 39:52 use and prove is Matthew 11 28. 39:54 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden. 39:57 I will give you rest. 39:59 Come to me. 40:02 Worship with me. 40:05 Be with me. 40:07 Abide with me. 40:09 Grow with me. 40:11 Spend time with me. 40:14 Worship me. 40:16 Serve me. 40:18 Come to me. 40:19 All you who labor and are heavy laden. 40:21 Those are all of those stress inputs we've talked about. 40:25 No matter where we end, God knew that we were going to have 40:28 stress inputs. 40:29 So all of you that have stress inputs in your life that's 40:32 causing inflammatory damage, metabolic damages, what does 40:36 God suggest? 40:37 Come to me. 40:39 Worship me. 40:41 Don't be the 10 to 20% that are worship deficient. 40:45 You know, I mean the 80% that are worship deficient. 40:48 We want to stay in this. 40:50 And God, I, Christ himself, he gives us something. 40:56 It's a free gift. 40:57 It's nothing that we do. 40:59 He gives you the physiology of rest, which is the physiology 41:03 of love. 41:04 The opposite of the stress chemistry, which is the 41:08 selfless chemistry, which has these dramatic brain changes in 41:12 the amygdala, which turns on more stress. 41:14 So we now know that worship actually changes our 41:22 epigenetics. 41:23 We now have science to prove that when we worship, we can 41:27 through these Kappa B pathways, that we can turn off 41:31 inflammatory genes in the body. 41:36 Well, let me throw something out there for you to think 41:38 about right now today. 41:40 Remember, Adam and Eve at one time they had perfect genetics, 41:43 right? 41:44 They had perfect genetics. 41:46 Did they live forever? 41:48 No. 41:52 Well, maybe the tree of life had something in it that would 41:56 turn on or methylate a gene. 41:59 So maybe their DNA changed to some degree when they couldn't 42:02 plug into God's original plan. 42:05 And what was the original plan that was broken? 42:07 A relationship. 42:10 And everything that happened after that relationship. 42:13 So if we can know the reason why, we can get it cause. 42:18 Right? 42:22 this or that, and I want to know, well, not why is this 42:25 happening? 42:29 relationships with God. 42:31 They're looking for something more, what I call a new source 42:35 of dopamine, the feel-good chemical, and we get it 42:38 everywhere. 42:39 Right? 42:40 But they're not from the right source. 42:43 Remember the original source of dopamine in the Garden of Eden, 42:47 having a day of rest, taking care of the earth, 42:50 fellowshiping with God, worshiping with him. 42:53 That was the original brain plan to keep us out. 42:57 And when we started doing these, we started having 42:59 epigenetic changes. 43:00 Well, now we have the science to back up some of these things 43:04 that's shown in the Bible. 43:05 And if we could go on and on, every time we would see the 43:09 word, therefore something happened, that's something 43:12 happening physiologically. 43:15 Remember, when the Bible says something, something is 43:17 happening inside of us. 43:19 When the Holy Spirit is there, something is happening 43:22 physiologically. 43:23 Something is happening when we worship. 43:26 If something is good, the studies have shown the brain 43:29 part, the anterior cingulate cortex, where we communicate 43:32 with God. 43:33 They call that the God brain. 43:35 We grow new neurons. 43:37 We call that neurogenesis. 43:39 We turn down inflammation. 43:43 But more than that's happening that we might not ever 43:47 understand yet. 43:50 So in the solution to chronic disease that the whole world is 43:55 looking for now, for an economic reason, for a selfish 44:01 reason, they've identified the problem. 44:06 But I think we have an evidence -based system to give them, to 44:11 tell them that the real solution to chronic disease is 44:16 the W-O-G. 44:20 I can't hear you. 44:24 Now, I talked to Pastor Lowe -McCain. 44:26 Is he in the audience here? 44:28 He might not be, but he says he wants to get a T-shirt and put 44:31 W -O-G on it. 44:32 You know? 44:33 Solution to health care problems are economic crises. 44:36 Let's get this out there. 44:38 You know, you see occasionally, you see these clever ads out 44:42 there where people, you know, ask you, well, what's this W-O 44:44 -G on the shirt? 44:47 And it's something more. 44:50 A lot of people criticize me on a regular basis for doing these 44:54 things. 44:58 But I say to the contrary. 45:01 We have lots of science and evidence that's not been proven 45:05 yet, and God might not allow us to prove it, but we can still 45:08 apply the principles of the Bible because they're true. 45:13 And they all help us in the treatment of chronic 45:16 inflammation. 45:18 So when we're preparing to proclaim the Gospel, we want to 45:21 do these things ourselves, and some people get discouraged 45:24 because they can't do everything at once. 45:27 Well, God doesn't ask us to do everything at once. 45:30 He says plug into the Holy Spirit. 45:32 Let the Holy Spirit do it. 45:34 Grow. 45:36 Grow. 45:38 You know, if we believe in the Bible and I can prove the 45:40 Bible's true, that's another whole set of lectures. 45:43 If you believe in me, you have what? 45:46 Everlasting life. 45:48 We're healed. 45:49 Period. 45:51 And the process of sanctification growing, some 45:55 people grow really quick, and they have limbs and they go 45:59 everywhere. 45:59 Some people grow slower. 46:01 But the point is in health, as we prepare to get this message 46:05 about the W.O.G. 46:06 to the world, we got to let people know that we are really 46:09 plugged into the real source of relationship. 46:13 We are real plugged into that power of worship. 46:16 And the studies on worship have shown that as little as 10 to 46:19 12 minutes a day can change our physiology. 46:24 Can you imagine what living in a life of worship would do to 46:27 your physiology? 46:28 Which genes would be turned on and off? 46:32 It's an amazing thought. 46:35 It's an amazing thought. 46:37 But the world comes to Christians in this time, in 46:41 this day of age, with needs. 46:45 Each one of us here has needs of some sort. 46:48 Mental needs, physical needs, financial needs. 46:51 We all have needs. 46:54 It's not the needs that are the problem. 46:56 It's what do we do when we have the needs? 47:01 Who is our authority? 47:03 Where are we going to go? 47:05 And I'm suggesting that for chronic disease and for all 47:08 things, we go to the W.O.G.C. 47:12 The world needs a new direction. 47:15 That W.O.G. 47:17 leads us to the Christ the King, the C.T.K. 47:21 That was God's treatment for this chronic disease problem, 47:26 this chronic relationship problem that triggered all 47:29 these epigenetic changes in the first place. 47:32 As we stay plugged in and abide in that source each day, each 47:37 moment, we have eternal healing. 47:40 Remember, is this world our home? 47:42 Does anyone want to live here? 47:44 No. 47:45 Things aren't good. 47:46 You get old and things hurt and things get bad. 47:48 It's just not a good place to live. 47:50 We don't want to live here. 47:51 Well, we've already given eternal healing. 47:54 But when we abide in him, we also get the measure, the gift 47:58 of God, this Holy Spirit power, this Holy Spirit power that can 48:04 help us to see ways that we can grow, that we can prepare to 48:10 proclaim, which is what we're here to do. 48:13 And it doesn't matter if you're sick and if you're falling 48:16 apart. 48:17 It's not what you have. 48:19 It's what you do with it. 48:20 Do you use whatever God's illnesses and do you use it to 48:24 proclaim him and to move the gospel forward? 48:26 Because remember, Paul was never healed. 48:29 God can use us greatly in our illnesses in how we handle 48:32 this. 48:33 Where do we go for our authority? 48:36 And I'm suggesting today and I'm suggesting to the Maha 48:39 movement, to my friends that work at the HHS all over, 48:44 they've now found out that there's a problem. 48:49 And they've identified it. 48:51 Problem with our kids. 48:52 Problem with our health. 48:54 And it's affecting our economy. 48:55 It's going to affect all of us. 48:57 We're going to have another big problem financially if we don't 49:00 do something about it. 49:01 They've recognized it. 49:02 They've identified the problem. 49:03 Now they're working on solutions. 49:06 And the solutions are not going to be easy. 49:09 There's going to be people spending money, spending what 49:12 they want to do, how they want to do it, marketing. 49:15 There's going to be people tearing down other people. 49:17 But I'm saying we don't need to look at all of that. 49:20 We need to point people to do our goal and proclaim. 49:24 We're preparing to proclaim. 49:25 We're going to proclaim that the authority in life, the 49:28 authority in health, the authority in chronic disease, 49:31 and in all things is a WOG because God has given us as a 49:36 gift the healing remedy, Christ the King. 49:40 And when we have that in a daily relationship, that's what 49:43 we need to tell the world that they need to have too. 49:46 And through that power, more good things are happening. 49:50 So I have a new book coming out this fall, More Control, Less 49:54 Fear, Reversing Cardiovascular Disease, where I sort of go 49:57 into this in much greater disease, our ministry also. 50:02 We're a 501C3, and we help get this word out through some of 50:05 our help products. 50:07 And one of the weight management planners, my wife 50:09 here. 50:10 Where's my wife at? 50:11 Did she even come to this? 50:14 Sonya, are you here? 50:16 Oh, there's Sonya. 50:17 Now, this is a good, this is a good. 50:19 There's my wife, Sonya. 50:20 She gets very embarrassed. 50:22 She doesn't like to stand up. 50:23 There she is back there. 50:24 She's gorgeous. 50:25 We've been married 35 years. 50:27 She's a Canadian, and I don't hold that against her, even 50:31 though from East Tennessee, my accent is now gone. 50:35 But anyway, she comes up, she says, listen, I'm going to 50:38 develop for the ministry a weight management planner to 50:42 help people manage weight because it's a chronic disease. 50:46 I said, man, no one's going to use these planners. 50:49 No one's going to use these. 50:50 So we made a planner. 50:51 You know, it's one of these things you look at each day. 50:54 And how many here use planners? 50:57 A few people, a few people. 50:59 Well, believe it or not, she got lots of people using these 51:03 planners to help manage weight, not lose weight, but manage. 51:08 And it's through the power of this relationship, through the 51:11 power of the Holy Spirit, you not doing it, but allow God to 51:15 do it in your body the way he wants to do it in his time. 51:20 We beat ourselves up too much about everything. 51:23 So I want to thank you for doing that, Sonya. 51:25 It's going to be available again this year. 51:27 You can go to our website, heartwidesministries.org. 51:31 So I went a little long because I wanted to introduce to the 51:35 world on 3ABN today. 51:38 Okay. 51:41 this as a solution to chronic health disease, the WOG. 51:47 And I'm going to challenge the administration team at 3ABN. 51:52 Greg's back there. 51:53 I see him. 51:55 John's back there. 51:56 I'm going to challenge them to start printing up t-shirts that 52:03 says the solution to the health, chronic health care is 52:06 the WOG. 52:07 And us start giving them and wearing them to our friends and 52:11 neighbors. 52:12 And start getting this out there. 52:15 Out there. 52:16 I don't, you know, I think they could do it. 52:18 I think we can make a shirt with WOG. 52:20 Right? 52:20 I think we could do this. 52:22 And that would open up a discussion because people right 52:25 now are interested in this. 52:28 So originally we talked about answering a bunch of questions. 52:32 But I got 40 or 50 here. 52:35 I'm not going to have a chance to get through them all because 52:37 I used up all the time. 52:39 I only have four minutes left. 52:41 But the Holy Spirit really impressed me today that I 52:46 needed to tell this. 52:47 Because this is the real solution to all of our 52:49 problems. 52:51 Right? 52:51 Amen? 52:55 Speedball. 52:56 Okay? 53:00 You have my private email here. 53:04 Let me see if I got that here. 53:05 There's my private email. 53:07 That's a YouTube channel. 53:09 But my private email is 53:15 heartwisejm.yahoo.com. 53:17 And I'll be happy to answer your questions and emails 53:21 personally. 53:22 So you can go to that because I'm not going to get to 53:24 everyone's question in four minutes here. 53:27 But I'm going to get through a few. 53:29 I'm going to be around hanging on if you have specific 53:31 questions. 53:32 Of course you can email me. 53:33 I want to be available. 53:35 Okay? 53:36 This is a question. 53:37 It says, I just passed my walking stress test. 53:40 My chest x-ray was clouding in the lower one-thirds of the 53:44 lungs. 53:45 Never smoke, but parents and siblings did. 53:47 Well, I'm sorry that's happened. 53:49 I would have them take another film, making sure that they did 53:52 the film correctly if you don't feel bad. 53:55 Sometimes the lungs can collapse in the bottom. 53:58 That's called atelectasis. 54:00 Practice taking some deep breaths and get another chest x 54:03 -ray. 54:04 Can you better explain left bundle branch block, which only 54:08 happens with exercise? 54:09 Well, I can explain that quickly in 30 seconds. 54:13 The bundles are what carries electricity to our heart. 54:16 In some people, it goes slower than others. 54:18 You know, some people have a little hearing problem. 54:20 Some people have a lot. 54:21 Well, some people, the bundles go a little bit slower and it's 54:24 activated in exercise. 54:26 It's usually not a problem unless you're dizzy or passing 54:29 out, but it's something to keep an eye on because that part of 54:33 your body is a little bit older. 54:35 The wires get older. 54:36 Some people get the wires real old and they need pacemakers. 54:39 Hopefully this won't happen to this person. 54:42 Okay. 54:43 Let me get another one here. 54:44 I have an enlarged prostate. 54:46 Me too. 54:47 Is there a natural curve? 54:49 Is there a natural curve or must I continue to take the 54:52 medicines of an astride and a flusus in? 54:55 The problem is when the prostate gets big, the urine 54:58 can't get out. 54:59 That's a bigger problem. 55:01 Urine can't get out, causes infections, causing the kidneys 55:04 to get bad, a condition called hydronephrosis, which is never 55:08 good. 55:12 the time the prostate's big, the cat's out of the bag. 55:15 Okay. 55:18 that we talked about with inflammation that slows down 55:21 genetic aging, right? 55:22 All the things we talked about. 55:24 Some people try a natural supplement called salt pimento. 55:27 Some people get in big exercise programs. 55:30 I personally try not to drink much water at night because it 55:34 keeps me up. 55:34 Then I don't get rest. 55:36 Then I have inflammation from that. 55:38 So I'm afraid that in some people, modern medicine does 55:41 have its place. 55:42 This is a good question. 55:43 I'm gonna end on this one. 55:44 There's many more questions. 55:46 Hopefully the lecturer answered some of them. 55:49 What things do you suggest we have in our homes to take care 55:55 of ourselves during the time when we might not be able to 56:00 buy and sell? 56:01 I think that's a good question. 56:03 It's worthy. 56:04 I will tell you what I have in my house. 56:09 We carry things for wounds. 56:12 Steri strips, band-aids, tourniquets, and things that 56:15 will heal a wound. 56:17 So maybe some neosporin. 56:19 I'm fortunate that I can take some other things for 56:22 infections with me. 56:23 I have some antibiotics that I do just in case I get short 56:26 -term infections. 56:29 I think charcoal is a very basic thing to have. 56:33 It helps cleanse the body out. 56:36 I think that's just a basic thing to have on hand. 56:41 And then, of course, if you have a medical problem, if you 56:44 can get off the need for medical therapy, if you can do 56:47 something natural, that's why I've been starting to work with 56:50 natural remedies. 56:51 And I'm gonna have a series next year on hopefully 3ABN if 56:55 things work out on 13 different ways to treat natural remedies 56:59 and maybe get people off medicines. 57:02 But if you can get off some of the medicines you can depend 57:04 on, and if you can't, build up a supply, okay, or find natural 57:08 things you can do to help. 57:10 Some very natural things that I help in addition to lifestyle 57:14 that helps with inflammation, things like ginger, turmeric, 57:19 fiber, things like that. 57:21 Did you know that if you just ate enough fiber, your 57:23 inflammatory markers go down tremendously? 57:26 Just eating fiber foods. 57:28 That might be all some people need for arthritis and 57:30 fibromyalgia. 57:34 inflammatory markers. 57:36 So look those two things. 57:39 Those are things that are helpful. 57:40 I am all out of time. 57:42 Thank you so much for your attention. 57:44 I don't know if I need to close this, or we're already off the 57:47 air, but I'm sure someone will pop up and tell me what to do. 57:51 Thank you. |
