=== Choose Life (04:45) ===

[00:00:00]  Well, what's happened is our culture, you have to stop and think what culturally we have done.
[00:00:06]  Our happiest moments are celebrated around a birthday cake.
[00:00:11]  Right, birthdays and pies, with Christmas cookies.
[00:00:14]  And so we associate that happy, good memory with those sweets.
[00:00:21]  And that's what's happening.
[00:00:22]  But how are we going to stop people from eating sugar?
[00:00:26]  It's simple.
[00:00:27]  Deuteronomy tells us, I have set before you life and death, blessings and cursings.
[00:00:34]  Now, you choose life so that you and your descendants or children may live.
[00:00:41]  So we've got to make that choice because our kids are going to be watching us.
[00:00:46]  And when we make the wrong choices, we'll teach them to make the right choices.
[00:00:50]  And I love what Mary says because in Isaiah chapter 7, verse 14, it says, remember when Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be Emmanuel.
[00:01:02]  And he'd be born by a virgin shall conceive.
[00:01:04]  Again, that was spoken out, what, a thousand years or so before Jesus was born.
[00:01:10]  It had to be spoken by a prophet, but that literally, that word, that spoken word became flesh.
[00:01:16]  But a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be Emmanuel, and butter and honey shall he eat, that he shall know to choose the good and not the evil.
[00:01:28]  By what he ate.
[00:01:30]  By what he ate.
[00:01:31]  Correct.
[00:01:31]  So our young children, and I'm so proud of my grandchildren.
[00:01:36]  Yes.
[00:01:37]  Because we have broken the curse that I was raised up of the wrong foods.
[00:01:43]  My grandchildren do not like sweets.
[00:01:47]  They hate them.
[00:01:48]  We never get desserts.
[00:01:50]  Never.
[00:01:51]  If they have a birthday, I'll let them choose a dessert.
[00:01:53]  We don't ever do it just.
[00:01:55]  But they'll be like, ooh, I don't want that.
[00:01:57]  Mimi, I want an apple.
[00:01:59]  Yeah.
[00:01:59]  And I'm like, I just sit there and I just thank you, Jesus.
[00:02:03]  No weight problems.
[00:02:04]  They're choosing.
[00:02:04]  No weight problem whatsoever.
[00:02:06]  No health problems whatsoever because they have learned to choose living food.
[00:02:11]  My Brayden, my 14-year-old, he was out.
[00:02:14]  We took him out to eat a cheese factory.
[00:02:16]  He got wild.
[00:02:16]  He got the salmon.
[00:02:18]  He got the salmon.
[00:02:19]  We eat salad.
[00:02:20]  He loves salad and salmon, which is great.
[00:02:22]  So again, we're teaching them to choose living foods instead of dead foods.
[00:02:27]  So I'm wanting our audience to know you are what you eat.
[00:02:33]  Yes.
[00:02:34]  You're inviting disease in.
[00:02:35]  So when I look at sugar, I don't think, oh, man, it tastes so good.
[00:02:40]  I crave it.
[00:02:41]  I crave it.
[00:02:42]  I see the diseases that come in my office every day.
[00:02:44]  Incurable diseases.
[00:02:45]  Do you say diet is as important as medicine?
[00:02:51]  I think it's more important.
[00:02:52]  More important than medicine.
[00:02:52]  Because, Jim, if you listen to this, doctor, if you will choose the right foods, you will not need medicine.
[00:03:00]  If you will practice intermittent fasting, guess what?
[00:03:03]  You will not have a weight problem.
[00:03:04]  And you can use a little stevia with tea or coffee.
[00:03:08]  Artificial sweeteners can be poison.
[00:03:10]  Those are poison to your brain, especially aspartame.
[00:03:13]  Aspartame converts to phenylalanine and asparta.
[00:03:19]  And are these sugar-free soft drinks?
[00:03:21]  Do they have artificial sugar in them, do you think?
[00:03:23]  Many, well, many do.
[00:03:25]  Many will have either splenda or aspartame.
[00:03:27]  And aspartame can convert to methanol, which converts to formaldehyde.
[00:03:33]  And it literally degenerates the brain.
[00:03:35]  The thing is, you catch a cold, you catch the flu, but you develop the disease.
[00:03:42]  That's correct.
[00:03:43]  Absolutely correct.
[00:03:44]  And when you understand that principle, when people really get in their mind, you develop like it becomes a part of your body from constantly making wrong choices.
[00:03:56]  I've known people that have, you know, drank diet drinks.
[00:04:00]  That's all.
[00:04:02]  But a lot of diet, I can't name a product because I don't want to go to jail.
[00:04:06]  Well, it's usually it converts to aspartic acid phenol.
[00:04:09]  But they have cancer from it.
[00:04:10]  Oh, is that true?
[00:04:11]  Well, again, what it does, this is inflammatory for your brain.
[00:04:15]  I mean, when you have something convert to methanol and formaldehyde, that's a toxin to your brain.
[00:04:21]  You are literally inflaming and degenerating your brain.
[00:04:25]  And so you can be healthy, people.
[00:04:27]  You old people even can be healthy.
[00:04:30]  And there's a lot of us old people around now.
[00:04:32]  And we're going to be healthy, amen.
[00:04:35]  We're going to eat right, feed our brains, think right, and take over the world for Jesus.
[00:04:42]  That's what we're doing.
[00:04:45]  Amen.
