I knew I would get your attention. In our last blog , I mentioned what the Bible says about our health. What we are facing as a nation and as the Body of Christ. What doctors do not want you to know. Today I would like to talk about 2 keys to health. Key number one to a better health is:
1) Obedience - It simply means glorifying God with our bodies. Look, alot of us want good health, right? Yet, many times we get out there and splurge, and let it all hang out. I'm talking about eating. I'm talking eating all the wrong foods. People get sick because of what they eat, many times. Also, since diets don't work, Its imperative we stay on track concerning the right foods to eat. DIETS DON'T WORK? #!*#?.! Yes, they don't! Just ask Oprah. It is living a well balanced life is what works. Eating the right foods. You say, Ok, Ok, "what are the wrong foods i have to be careful of?"
(Remember I told you, many of you would probably hate me, disassociate with me, or maybe thank the Lord!? But somehow on issues I believe in, you know, I'm just passionate about. And this is one of them.) But don't get mad, alright?
2. Eating the right foods
Did you ever see a overweight guy or lady, big o plate of food in front of them. With a diet soda on the side? Then, you think to yourself? Am I the only one seeing this? (Hey, I'm not perfect, alright?) Well, we need to eat the right foods. And what are the right foods? Well, first let's talk about the wrong foods. I' ll go down the line on a couple of them.
- Sodas -The average person drinks 37 gallons each year. Many of the drinks contain caffeine. Carbonated beverages tend to destroy kidney cells. It's also a major contributor to obesity. I'm not going to even mention the power drinks many leaders drink. Even some pastors are addicted to Red Bull. Rock Star, and the Monsters of this age.
- White sugar -The average American eats 175 pounds of sugar every year. And sugar is in pretty much in every processed and packaged product. Did you know that cancer feeds on sugar. That's not to mention all the terrible effects it has on diabetics. And, you do know someone who's diabetic don't you? I think we all do.
- White Flour - Oh, Oh, here we go! Burritos, White bread, oh, and those flour tortillas! Bread makers of today are not as the bread makers of the OT. The Bible says, that bread gives man strength. Today's 'enriched bread' is just some gooey stuff in your stomach. What do they do? Well, they take out the bran and wheat germ, (The good stuff) they then, sell it to the health food stores. They add artificial flavors and ingredients. Then, they 'enrich' the bread, after they bleach it. Then, sell it to us, and we go ahead and feed that stuff to our kids. Then, we say. 'Hey, I'm doing my job as a parent!" Well. are we? But, let's go on. It gets better.
- Pork - Yes, BBQ ribs, Carnitas, Chicharonnes, Pork Chops, etc. Now, remember, in spanish, pork means dirty.
Now this meat is the worst. It is the tops. If you're eating this stuff on a daily basis. You had better check your Christianity. Throughout scripture God rails against the eating of this parasite laden flesh. Alright, then, let's talk about it you say again? Alrighty then. NO! Why don't we go farther than that! Let's talk about God's CUCARACHAS(Cockroaches)!
1. The 3 Little Piggies - See here, cows have 4 compartments in their stomach to digest their food. The pig eats trash foods and the unclean foods stays in their flesh. They eat excrement, (Yeah, you know exactly what that means) then it merges with their flesh, then enters us when we eat Tacos de Carnitas.
Interesting Note:
1. Pork is loaded with saturated fats, the highest meat in fats, and cholesterol. There’s cancer in the pig's skin, and other internal organs. Pork products are shot with nitrates that are known to be cancer-causing compounds.
2. Pork also causes bad digestion and stomach problems.
3. It contains trichina larvae, (Worms!) and becomes trichinosis. Before you start to say, "Roy, is one crazy guy!" Well, then you probably belong to the club that says there is no such thing as minute parasites that eat the discarded layers of skin from your body. Which is true. But, let's stay on the subject. You eat the pork, the parasite enters your stomach, and the eggs hatch in the stomach, then invade muscles and tissues. A pig that has been infected with the larvae, has thousands of cysts inside the muscles. The very muscles that we, humans look forward to eating in the form of pork chops, ham, barbecued ribs, etc. Ever heard the saying, "Eat a Pig, Look like a Pig" or “If you want to look like a Marano eat a Pig.”
Ever heard of Living Cell Therapy? Professor Lettre @ Heidelberg University did a survey. That when someone ate pork, and the place wherever the pork came from. The human would gain weight at the place where the part of the pork came from. In other words, if it was from the rump, then you'd gain weight there. Or from the neck and so on. Wow! Pretty astounding stuff, Heh? The Bible says, in Isa 65:3-4 "a people who continually provoke me to my very face, offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on altars of brick; 4 who sit among the graves and spend their nights keeping secret vigil; who eat the flesh of pigs, and whose pots hold broth of unclean meat;"
I know what's on your mind: "Well then, What did God make the hog for, if not to eat?" Well, He made it to clean up the garbage. Just like buzzards, shrimp, and crabs. They all have something in common. They're scavengers. Read Isa. 66:17 Hey, I didn't say. God said it. Knowing some Bible theologians, they'll probably go quote me the scripture in Acts where God told Peter to rise up and eat. I know that. But God was talking here about the gospel to the Gentiles. And, if you like pork so much then, I advise you to keep on eating it. Look, I abstain from pork, except on rare occasions. So I'm not so 'holy' on this issue. But you'll probably not see me eat pork, anytime soon. But here's the funny thing. The foods that taste the best, are the worst for you. But the thing is keep a balance. Yet, do you actually think Jesus ate pork? Share with me in scripture where Jesus ate pork. What did Jesus think of pork? He ordered the herd of swine off that cliff to be drowned in the sea! That's what He thought of swine! Also, is it not ironic, that there's a flu out there, called the Swine Flu? Anyway, . . Let's go on.
2. Bubbushka's Shrimp, Lobster & Crab Co. - Yes, there goes your Clam Chowder too!?' I know, these little critters are tasty. I know they are. They even have a show, about fisherman risking their lives on getting the Catch. Yet, once again they are the ones which clean our ocean floor. I wonder what environmental disaster that'll come up, if all these critters are eliminated. I just wonder.
3. Shell fish - You know, the 7 Mares (Seas) kind. Shellfish are the natural filters of the ocean floor. See, all that gook, chemicals, toxins, that flow from your household and mine. Well, it goes somewhere right? It goes to the ocean floor. God created these little creatures to clean them up. You, know the scavenger kind. Then, we the 'all knowing humans', say, 'Hey let's go eat @ Red lobster or some Bubba shrimp place. But its not all that good. Let me tell you a true story. My son was born without his 3 fingers on his left hand. Normal kid. Plays sports, runs track, starts in football on defense and offense, plays the keyboard, in our services. You, know, normal kid. Well, his doctor had to do some final surgery on his left hand. A Dr. Bruce Achauer. One of the country's renown doctors. I believe he was one of the founding members of the Beckman Institute. To make a long story longer. He was eating dinner at a restaurant in San Diego, about 1o years back or so. Then, the man falls over dead from eating oysters or some type of shell fish. That's what I'm told. Shellfish are saturated with the deadly mercury, due to all the toxins. Oh, by the way, feel free to do your homework on all I've said. At the end of this series. I'll give references of the information I have stated.
I'll mention a few more things. Then say a few things that help me personally.
4. Margarine - This is not the best. Butter is natural and is much better. Iv'e heard some enlightening stories of how they make margarine.
5. Artificial sweeteners. There's evidence, that some ingredients are cancer causing.
A Few Things I Do to help: (If I don't help myself, nobody else will. And that's the truth)
- Put honey in my coffee. Instead of sugar. I put sugar only in fellowship, where people serve me coffee and at get togethers and so on. It costs a little more, but I believe in the long run it'll help me.
- Cook with Olive Oil. That's why chefs on the food channel, cook with Olive Oil. BAM!!!
- Eat wheat bread at home. Wheat might cost a little more. But its better for you. Especially the kind that has all kinds of grains. You can even tell the difference, its a bit more heavier.
- Drink water most of the time. (Ok, I confess. I drink about 2 cups of coffee a day.)
- I eat alot of chicken, the most I can. Thank God for Pollo Loco!
- Eat my steak well done. (Whenever I do have steak) Why well done? Because germs and impurities are in the blood. That's why God didn't want His people to eat meat with the blood. That's for all you rare steak lovers.
- Take natural vitamins. As an added nutrient and supplement. A word for all you parents. If your kids are having growth problems. In other words, if you see they're not growing as they should. (Unless you want your children to be short. That's cool.) Try giving them a daily vitamin with multi vitamins and minerals. See our kids eat those sugary cereals. Then we feel they really had a great breakfast. Then they eat junk food at school and after. But with a little vitamins it can help some. That's all I'm saying.
So as for you. We need you for the long run. We want to see you. To see you living life blessed. To have a long length of life, till Jesus calls you home. To see you fulfill your potential in life, with a sense of destiny, dignity and belonging. And I'm convinced with all my heart, that we will make a difference for the Lord Jesus Christ. So go ahead! Enjoy life why don't you. Do It! Take care of yourself. Step into the supernatural. Step out in faith. Be obedient. Be a person of prayer. Do all you can do for the Lord. And do it with gusto and the best of health. I didn't mean for any of you to get offended. Part I'm writing in satire, and tongue and cheek. But I want the best for you. I really do. Because I Love you and God loves you.
