Sermon 008 - 1 Corinthians 6 - Your body is the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams and thank you so much for your support and for your feedback.
And one of the pieces of feedback that I've taken to heart is that at the beginning of each sermon, I will give you the scripture, chapter and verse that we're going to be talking about or focused on.
And today, that is 1 Corinthians chapter 6, but not in the way that you know chapter 6, or even chapter 5.
If you know anything about 1 Corinthians, you know that this is Paul the Apostle chiding the church members of Corinth, the various churches that, even the Christian churches that Paul himself had largely set into motion years earlier, and many of these church members have Had turned against morality and they were engaged in all kinds of bizarre sexual immorality and having sex with the prostitutes at the Roman church and whatever.
But that's not what this is about.
This is about going even beyond that because I think that message is loud and clear.
I've got something else to add to that about the body as the temple.
And that comes from 1 Corinthians 6, verses 19 and 20.
So let's just start with that.
Chapter 19.
Now, remember this is originally offered in the context where he's saying, you know, stop doing all this crazy sexual activity that's unclean and it's not, you know, you're not honoring the Lord, you're not honoring Christ, you know.
In essence, Paul is saying, how dare you call yourself Christians with all these crazy things that you're doing?
And one of the responses from some of the Christians of the time was, Was that, hey, you know, obviously I'm paraphrasing, but hey, Christ set us free.
We can do whatever we want.
You know, Christ already sacrificed himself for our sins, so therefore, is kind of implied, therefore we could just go on and carry out whatever sins we want.
It's already covered by the debt of Christ that Christ paid for us, right?
So Paul says, that's not the way this works, and you need to take responsibility for For your actions and your body.
So, verse number 19, get this.
He says, well, actually, hold on.
Let's go to verse 18 because that sets this up.
Verse 18.
Flee from sexual immorality, he says.
So, again, that's what most people know this chapter to be about.
But Paul continues, every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
So he's saying a lot of the sins that people commit, murder, violence, crime, theft, whatever, those are sins committed outside the body, but when you engage in immoral or unclean sexual practices, those are sins against your own body.
And then in verse 19 he says,"...or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?" In other words, Your body, if you are a follower of Christ, your body is a holy place within you, a holy place that is representative of the body of Christ.
Your body is a temple.
And Paul continues, you are not your own.
You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.
So glorify God in your body.
What does he mean by that?
You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.
What he's saying is that Christ paid a price so that you could enjoy the decisions and the actions of your life without having to carry that burden yourself.
And therefore...
You have a responsibility to act in accordance with the requirements or the guidance of Christ and God.
You must walk with God because you've been covered.
Someone paid a dear price.
In fact, paid with his life on the cross so that you could be free from the burden of the cost of sin.
For you to continue to commit such sins against your own body is snubbing Christ.
You know, it's an insult to Christ.
It means that you don't value the price that Christ paid for you.
In other words, when you make decisions about your own body, and of course, I'm going to carry this into the realm of nutrition and health and living a cleaner lifestyle.
But when you make decisions about your own body, it's not just you that you are impacting.
You are also physically a representation of Christ and God.
You are a temple of the Holy Spirit within you.
And therefore the actions that you take reflect on your relationship with God and your honoring of this idea that your body is a holy representation of the mind of God or the will of God, the creation power of God.
So you were bought with a price, right?
It doesn't mean you're a slave.
I would imagine some people would misinterpret this and say, well, does that mean you're a slave and someone paid shekels for you?
No.
That's not what that means at all.
It means Jesus died for your sins.
Therefore, honor the requirements to live in alignment with Christ and God.
Now, it's interesting because if we go to the Old Testament, Leviticus, Chapter 19, verse 28.
It talks about avoiding self-mutilation.
You shall not make cuts in your body for the dead, nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves.
I am the Lord.
Bringing up New King James Version, let me read you then verse 20 from 1 Corinthians chapter 6, because the New King James Version actually explains it a little bit more.
So, verse 20 says, Continuing from, and you are not your own, verse 20 says, for you were bought at a price, therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit, which are God's.
You see what I mean?
Glorify God in your body and your spirit, which belong to God, in other words, okay?
I think that's a better explanation.
But getting back to Leviticus, so think about Old Testament.
The Israelites were a wily bunch of sinners and rule-breakers who were very disobedient to the Word of God and the rules of God, and he had to lay down all these laws, right?
And he had to keep laying down laws.
And then he had a whole set of laws, and they kept breaking those, so he's like, Deuteronomy!
And he slams down.
It's like a whole other set of laws, because you people are insane.
I mean, I can imagine God saying that to the early Israelites.
What's wrong with you?
And then he says in Leviticus 19, verse 28, You shall not make cuts in your body for the dead, nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves.
I am the Lord.
And I can imagine, I don't mean to ascribe my thoughts to what I think God would have said, but I can imagine...
The attitude of the Lord, if he were sort of personified, he might have added to that for God's sake, you know?
It's like, why are you mutilating yourselves?
Why are you cutting your own body?
Why are you putting all these marks all over your body?
And so, I believe, even in the modern Jewish tradition, tattoos are prohibited.
Tattoos have become, of course, very, very popular in modern culture, especially in the military.
And it's almost required to have certain tattoos in special forces, for example.
Or certain types of tattoos are used by firefighters or certain police groups and first responders or SWAT team members and so on.
So they're very popular today.
But...
Early on, in the Old Testament, God said, don't put marks upon your body and don't make cuts in your body.
Now, you can imagine what God would be saying today about the transgenderism advocacy process.
I'm not going to be graphic, that's not my goal here, but just to describe what's happening today, where mutilating cuts are being made onto young boys and girls.
Some of whom are well under the age of adulthood.
I mean, as young as, well, 12 years old.
I've heard some 9, 7.
I've heard some people advocating transgender surgery for babies or even infants.
And it's called, in modern medicine, it's called gender-affirming care.
They have to put the word care in there to make it sound positive.
But God would have said that this is a grave sin against Him.
In fact, speaking of Deuteronomy, I brought in a quote from Deuteronomy, chapter 23, verse 1.
No one who is emasculated or has his male organ cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.
Right?
So he's talking about the tabernacle and this holy place of God within the society that he was trying to encourage and trying to protect and trying to grow at that time with great difficulty because the people kept turning against him and he basically said, look, if If you used to be a man and you cut off your male reproductive organs, then you do not stand before the Lord.
You know, I don't want to see you.
And when you combine that with Leviticus, you know, don't make cuts on your body, don't put tattoo marks on your body, and then with New Testament, 1 Corinthians, as I was quoting here, that your body is the temple of God, the message becomes very, very clear that those who mutilate their bodies on purpose, those who desecrate their bodies,
whether that desecration is through physical mutilation with the scalpel or the surgeon, the transgender surgery whether that desecration is through physical mutilation with the scalpel or the you know, the transgender surgery or the tattoos or bizarre sexual behavior, which is a different kind of insult to the body, a different kind of sin to the body.
Certain types of intercourse would be strongly considered this way.
Certain types of intercourse would be strongly considered this way.
For example, homosexual sex acts would be strongly considered to be more heinous versions of sins or assaults on the body.
But also heterosexual intercourse with prostitutes, for example, would also be considered to qualify for this.
In fact, you know, in 1 Corinthians chapter 6, he names a lot of things.
Do you not know that the unrighteous, I'm reading from verse 9, do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites.
See, he's being very specific.
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
That's a pretty detailed list, isn't it?
It's like, if you were thinking, oh, I didn't do any of that, nope, not that, nope, not that.
Oh, but then he said extortioners, you know, got me, you know.
Or drunkards, oh, I was good until you hit drunkards, right?
But the point is, Even if someone has done some of these things in their past, because all men and women have sinned, turning away from these things and turning toward God, turning toward the teachings of Christ, and then glorifying your body with the Spirit of God, this is the change that is necessary to inherit the kingdom of God.
And again, he's very, very specific.
Now, where I draw a very strong parallel to all of this in terms of health and food and nutrition is in the following.
Now, by the way, in verse 13 here, well, let's start with verse 12.
Again, 1 Corinthians 6, verse 12, and this is New King James Version.
He says,"...all things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful or profitable." In other versions.
All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
He says foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them.
So it's interesting.
He's mentioning food here, but not in a literal way.
Now the body is not for sexual immorality for the Lord.
And the Lord for the body.
And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.
Now he's saying, in essence, the body is not an amusement park.
This is what he's saying.
And I have used that phrase, amusement park, in podcasts in years past to talk about consuming foods for nutritive purposes rather than entertainment purposes.
And so consider the parallels here.
In this chapter 6 especially, but some of this is in chapter 5, Paul is saying, don't use your body like an amusement park.
It's not here for your narcissistic pleasures or habits or addictions or enjoyments.
That your body is a vehicle in service to God.
And your body is a temple.
It is something important and valuable.
And it needs to be held in reverence.
From your own point of view, you need to value your own body.
Well, if we think about foods and nutrition, it's the same thing.
Most people treat their mouths and tongues like amusement parks.
They're like, oh, ice cream and candy and sugar.
Such amazing sensory experiences.
It's kind of like just...
I don't know, could you call it just like sex for the tongue?
Which sounds dirtier than I mean it.
I'm just saying it's about just pure entertainment, you know, amusement park in your mouth.
Eating whatever tastes good.
Eating whatever delights the tongue.
Rather than thinking about, hey, what does my body actually need nutritively?
What kinds of foods will support the health, the longevity of my body and my mind?
And ultimately, as you know, I am an advocate of eating for purity, cleanliness, and to support the body, mind, and spirit.
So it's all three layers that are nourished by the food choice.
And also in food choice, we have to include the concepts of avoiding toxic substances as much as we can.
That's junk processed foods, it's pesticides and herbicides, heavy metals, hormone disruptors, junk food, whatever, processed ingredients and so on, avoiding toxins.
But then also on the positive side, bringing in the nutrition that you know will treat your body like a temple, nutrition that will help you succeed in your goal in this life, which I hope includes to remain alive, to remain healthy, to be able to have longevity and to contribute to remain healthy, to be able to have longevity and to contribute to society for many years to come and also to have the presence of mind in order to
And you can't have the presence of mind, you can't carry out your actions, you can't serve in the footsteps of the Lord's sermons for you, or His intentions for you.
You can't do that if you're sick in a hospital with cancer.
Or if you're sick with diabetes or heart disease or what have you, right?
Sickness and disease takes you away from your ability to serve the Lord's purpose for you in this life, whatever that may be.
Because obviously you're too distracted by the sickness.
So good health is a prerequisite to being able to carry out the higher goals and higher functions in this lifetime.
And importantly, choosing what you eat, what you swallow, what you consume, what you put on your skin, personal care products, what you wash your clothes in, laundry detergents, what kind of house you live in, Air contaminants or volatile organic chemicals, VOCs, and so on.
All of that, the choices that you make, when they are made with your long-term goals in mind instead of short-term entertainment, then you are honoring your body as a temple, as a sacred place, as a vessel through which the Spirit of God flows.
Does that make sense?
So in essence...
that Paul was speaking of, the sex with prostitutes or immoral sex with multiple partners or the homosexual sex, or what was he saying?
Adulterers, sodomites, fornicators, idolaters, whatever.
That is the nutritive equivalent of fast food, junk food, toxic food, too much sugar, too much salt, processed, refined garbage, And while it may be stimulating to the senses in the moment, it's a violation of what your body is supposed to be used for, which is a temple of the will of God, the Spirit of God moving through you.
And so that's why it's a sign of real maturity to be able to eat strategically or to behave in your choices as an adult with your spouse or if you don't have a spouse in dating and maybe moving toward having a spouse.
Whatever your choices are in relationships, And in the dining room and the bedroom, it's actually very parallel.
It's the same kind of either maturity or lack of maturity.
Because it's a child's mind that just wants to eat lollipops and Halloween candy all day and give me all kinds of sweet cake and pie and everything all day long.
That's a child's mind.
That's not an adult mind.
And in the same sense, even when an adult is engaged in just never-ending sex addictions, multiple partners, prostitution, homosexual acts, or whatever they may be, that's also the sexual version of the child's mind.
And it does not reflect maturity.
So to be clear, I'm not saying that if you have a slice of pie at a restaurant or at a relative's house or if you bake a pie or whatever, I'm not saying that's the same as sleeping with prostitutes.
I'm not saying that those are actually equivalent.
I'm saying that there's a parallel mindset that we need to keep in mind.
Now, it is perfectly normal to...
Enjoy a dessert of ice cream or a pumpkin pie in the fall or an apple pie or whatever, or have a slice of cake in celebration, especially if it's served at someone's wedding or what have you.
There's nothing wrong with...
A small amount of that in celebration or in commemoration or in a social setting.
Often these kinds of desserts and treats are experienced in social settings.
They're experienced culturally with groups of people who come together and then there may be sweets or candies or cakes or what have you.
Almost every culture does this.
And that's perfectly normal.
I'm not saying that that's some kind of crazy sin.
What I'm saying is that if you find yourself sitting on the couch at one in the morning...
With a spoon reaching the bottom of an ice cream tub.
You're like, I ate the whole ice cream tub by yourself.
Then you may have a very unhealthy relationship with sugar and ice cream.
So that's something to look at.
It's not the same as sleeping with prostitutes or having homosexual sodomite acts or what have you.
I'm not saying it's the same.
But It is a microcosm of an imbalance that you might want to take a look at.
And if you find yourself addicted to sweets, I have some really great news for you because my background as a nutritionist and a food scientist, I have really great news that cravings for sugar and salt are typically tied to lack of trace minerals, lack of nutrients.
And by the way, so if you shift your food choice into more holistic foods and more organic foods that are grown in more mineral-rich garden soils or environments, or in fact treated with extra minerals, or you can add certain types of minerals like trace mineral drops, you can add it to your smoothies.
I do that routinely.
You will find that many of your cravings will vanish.
And so this is a very simple way.
Now, it's going to take time, just to be clear.
It's not overnight.
Over time, over a period of many weeks.
But if you feel like you are having sugar cravings or salt cravings, by the way, if you're craving salt, you may simply be lacking salt.
You may have been outside and sweating and sweating and sweating, and you're missing the electrolytes and your body's craving salt.
And there's nothing wrong with adding a pinch of salt to a smoothie, by the way.
And an electrolyte drink, typically, by the way, has different salts in it, like potassium salts, as well as sodium chloride.
So if you're craving salt, it doesn't mean to eat a bag of chips, although that's the way most people interpret it.
What it may mean is that you just need some salt in a smoothie.
And it's perfectly okay to do that if you're not addicted to salt and over-consuming salt.
But for sugar...
It's usually very simple.
It's usually a mineral deficiency.
And I find that people who are deficient in magnesium and who are deficient in trace minerals, such as selenium, they tend to have crazy sugar cravings.
And those cravings will calm down when you get better nutrition into your body.
And so that way, you don't have to rely on just willpower.
Because that's a tough one for people.
It's like, I'm craving sugar.
I need sugar and more sweets.
I don't want to suffer.
And then that's when you end up at 1 in the morning at the bottom of an ice cream tub sobbing and slurping.
I failed again.
Hey, what if there's a better way?
The better way could be get better nutrition and you will find that the cravings will vanish over time.
And many, many years ago, let me give you a little bit of a backstory.
When I was in college, I drank a lot of soda.
And I grew up drinking some amount of soda.
It wasn't insane amounts, although I had a friend who, his family drank nothing but Coca-Cola in the glass bottles.
And every time I would visit my friend's house and his family would have dinner for all of us together.
They didn't have water, milk, juice, nothing.
It was Coca-Cola day and night, before dinner, at dinner, after dinner.
Coca-Cola.
They had stacks of bottles.
They were like the Coca-Cola family.
You can only imagine what their dental bills were after that.
But soda contains phosphoric acid.
Very strong in phosphoric acid.
It's not just the high fructose corn syrup, which is, of course, a pro-diabetes type of liquid sweetener that also promotes obesity.
But the phosphoric acid, if you think about it, it's so acidic that your body has to actually strip minerals out of your skeletal system in order to buffer the acidity of the phosphoric acid that you're drinking.
So every time that you drink a can of soda pop or a bottle, You're drinking something that is so acidic, your body has to sacrifice minerals in order to maintain a very constant pH level in your blood.
And in this process of sacrificing minerals, your body breaks down your own bone mass density.
And it also gives up some of the other trace minerals that you may have consumed, or even macrominerals such as magnesium.
In other words, every time you drink soda, You are taking away your body's minerals and leaving yourself mineral depleted, which ends up causing more cravings of sugar.
And so that's how that's a cycle, a spiral.
You drink more soda, you lose more minerals, you crave more sugar, so then you drink more soda and it goes on and on and on until a person ends up either with type 2 diabetes or osteoporosis or, you know, who knows what else.
But often bone density type of issues are associated with that.
And there are a lot of long-term negative effects of excess acidity.
But in college, I drank a lot of soda.
And I remember drinking Mountain Dew because it was high in caffeine during the late night final exam study nights with friends.
And we would stay up till, I don't know, three or four in the morning sometimes and cramming for the final exams.
That was a silly thing to do.
Looking back, it would have been smarter to just study a little bit during the whole semester and then get a good night's rest before the finals, but didn't have that wisdom back then.
So we were drinking soda with caffeine and thinking that that was a great idea.
And after college, I moved to Taiwan.
I lived in Taiwan for a couple of years, and there I also continued to drink soda.
And I began to become hypoglycemic.
I would have low blood sugar after meals if I didn't eat enough protein or fat, especially if I just eat a lot of carbohydrates, like a meal of oatmeal or something, or if I drank soda.
Then within maybe 30 to 45 minutes after that, my blood sugar would go so low I would start to shake and to feel faint.
My blood sugar was crashing.
And at the time, most doctors in the Western medical system did not believe that there was even such a thing called hypoglycemia.
Even though I could feel the effects very distinctly.
And for a long time, I didn't know what was causing it.
I just knew that if I ate breakfast, and then a few hours later, if I started feeling weak and shaky, that I needed to eat something.
I didn't realize it was because my breakfast was like, you know, frosted flakes or whatever, with sugar, bomb cereals, and I wasn't getting a healthy diet.
And that's what was causing that.
So when I learned about this, And there was a book I read, one of the first books I ever read on nutrition, called Sugar Blues, I believe it was.
And I learned for the first time that what you eat affects the health results you get.
And I know that sounds crazy, how could you not have known that, but I'm talking about the 1980s here, a time when very few people and no doctors at that time or almost no doctors believed that there was any link whatsoever between what you ate and drank versus the health effects that you got.
They didn't believe in nutrition.
They thought there were only four vitamins, for example.
They had no idea what were phytonutrients or botanical molecules from God that we talk about, the molecules that are in plants.
They had no idea.
It wasn't taught in the medical system whatsoever.
And so the very idea that you could change your health outcome by changing what you ate was actually an alien idea at that time.
Almost nobody in Western medicine taught that or knew it.
Now, it was prominent in, of course, naturopathic medicine or traditional medical spheres such as traditional Chinese medicine or Ayurvedic medicine or herbal medicine and so on.
But it just wasn't a common mainstream idea.
So I never learned in school, I never learned from pop culture that Drinking or eating a lot of sugar was bad for you.
But when I finally realized that, then I developed a plan to get off of soda.
And I knew that soda pop had three key sensory experiences.
One was the sweetness of One was the fizz, the fizziness of it, which is its own sensory experience, and it also has a certain smell and a certain sound.
But the other one was that it was cold.
And so I developed a plan to break the soda pop addiction one thing at a time.
Oh, also there was caffeine in it.
I forgot to mention that, so I guess there's four.
But I decided to break one addiction at a time.
So one way to do that, for example, is to migrate from soda pop to iced tea.
So the iced tea is still cold, it still has the caffeine in it, but it doesn't have the fizziness and the phosphoric acid.
So you go from soda pop to iced tea.
And then you could go from iced tea to room temperature tea, you know, and wean yourself off of the coldness.
And then you could go from caffeinated tea to, let's say, decaffeinated tea, To the point where you're just drinking, let's say, green tea.
So it's not loaded up with sugar.
It's not loaded up with phosphoric acid or fizziness or caffeine or what have you.
But if you address these one at a time, you can break an addiction slowly over time.
And when I went through that and succeeded in that, that was the last time that I ever had a soda pop.
Never drank one again, except one time as an experiment, just to see how far I had come.
It was maybe 10 years later.
Someone was talking to me about it, like, have you ever tried soda?
And I said, not since then.
No, I've never craved it.
I've never wanted it anymore.
I realize it's toxic.
They said, well, why don't you just try one?
And so I did.
I opened up a can that someone had available, opened up a can, took one sip, and just about puked.
It hurt.
It was just so offensive.
It was so foreign.
It was just such an overpowering, oh my God, all this sugar and all this acid and all this effervescent assault.
And it struck me in that moment that this was something that I used to I used to have to crave that.
I mean, my body told me to keep getting that over and over again.
And that's what addictions are like, whether the addiction is to soda or, you know, obviously all the addictions that Paul was talking about, addictions to alcohol, addictions to sex, addictions to gambling, addictions to whatever.
It's that, you know, when you're in that addiction, you don't realize how, what a toxic assault that is to your body.
Only when you are away from that addiction, Do you then have the context and the presence of mind to look back on it and say, Oh my God, that was crazy!
I can't believe I was doing that to myself!
And even today, as someone who teaches the Word of God here, from a point of view of nutritional purity and God's molecules in foods and herbs and natural substances, when I look back at The way that I hurt my own body by drinking soda year after year, six-pack after six-pack.
And by the way, I was never into alcohol.
I never drank alcohol, not even in college.
That was never my thing.
But soda was my thing.
I can't believe that I hurt my body so much and gave myself hypoglycemia, which became, by the way, at one point, borderline type 2 diabetes.
And if I had stayed on that path, I know that I would have become type 2 diabetic.
I would have ended up on insulin.
I would have become obese.
I would have ultimately ended up with probably diabetic neuropathy.
Might have had to have my feet amputated.
You can imagine that course of action is injurious to your own body.
And that's a path that I was on.
And thank God that I was able to get off of that path and then In the more than 25 years since then, I have taught a similar type of message to many tens of millions of people around the world To teach them about how to get off of these toxic foods, how to move into healthful food choice and healthful smoothies.
And I've demonstrated smoothies where people talked about what you can drink that's healthy and how you can supplement your diet with superfoods or certain targeted supplements or grow your own sprouts or how you can create or grow your own garden that is filled with God's molecules, these amazing nutrients.
That will allow you to treat your body like a temple instead of an amusement park.
So in summary, am I saying that if you drink a can of soda, you're going to go to hell?
No, I'm not saying that.
But I'm saying that if you have an unhealthy relationship with food or sodas or ice cream or whatever, then that is ultimately inconsistent with the way God asks you to treat your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit.
And thus, it's an imbalance in your life, and it's an imbalance that can use some work.
And it's okay to take some time.
It's okay to do it gradually.
That's what I did.
Never turn back.
Never turn back to soda ever again.
It was just so offensive after I broke that habit.
I couldn't even imagine today.
Someone offered me all the free soda you want.
Please, God, no.
Just get out of my face.
I have no such interest.
Now, if you want to offer me free organic avocados, that sounds awesome because I can make smoothies out of avocados and bananas and whey protein.
And obviously organic.
And all the things that I put into my smoothies, flax seeds, for example.
I put broccoli sprouts in there.
I put black cumin seed oil into my smoothies.
Yeah, not a lot, because that tastes pretty crazy.
But I put turmeric in my smoothies.
You've probably seen me with my orange-green smoothie.
It's avocados and turmeric and bananas, folks.
I mean, that's why it's kind of orange and a little bit green.
And it looks crazy, but I've been drinking it for, I think, I'm wondering, has it been like 15 years now?
I don't know.
It's been a long time.
And it's the most amazing, most nutritive drink.
And it's so delicious.
It's so fulfilling.
And I know that when I'm drinking it, not only is it something that I enjoy, But I know part of the enjoyment comes from knowing that it's the nourishment that my body craves and that it's treating my body as a temple, that it's having respect for my physical body and alignment for my mind and my spirit to behave in a fashion that is congruent with God's desire for me to be healthy,
to have longevity, and to share the word of God's miracles with other people on this planet.
So every time I drink that smoothie, it's a celebration of God.
Literally, it's a celebration.
It's a prayer to God.
And I often pray over the smoothie as I'm making it.
Dear God, please allow this food to serve its purpose in nourishing, to allow my brain to function so that I may be given the words and the hours and the presence of mind to be able to share this message with so many other people around the world who need to hear this in this moment.
And please, God, give me the wisdom to know the words.
That will reflect your desires and your goals for these people.
And please, God, forgive all of us for our sins and our mistakes and know that we are humbled before you and that we are humbled before the molecules that you have given us.
That when I put a spoon of turmeric powder into this blender, I am humbled by your power, God, that you would allow us to grow a root That is orange, and that is anti-cancer, and that is neuroprotective, and that is delicious, and that helps us achieve our goals, the goals that you have set out for us, God.
You know, in God's name, amen.
And I pray.
I pray over the food.
I pray over the ingredients.
And it's not just the act of praying.
It's It's almost weeping with the humility of thinking that we are here on this planet, we are surrounded by so many of God's foods and God's ingredients, and most of the time we take it for granted.
And people reach for a soda pop, an artificial, corporate-made, you know, high-fructose corn syrup junk product.
It should be called Satan's pop, not soda pop, you know?
And people reach for that.
Instead of what God placed on this planet for us.
And so, it's a simple choice.
But it's a powerful choice.
It's life changing.
And I assure you, That if you embrace what God has put on this planet with the intention that we consume it, the natural foods, the natural herbs, the natural remedies, the essential oils and so on, God's molecules,
not man's synthetic poisons and toxins and pesticides, but God's molecules, you will be blessed with health and life and longevity and cognition and joy and abundance in ways that you never could have imagined.
You will turn from the toxins of Satan and you will be embraced by the miracles of God.
I mean, I'm saying this literally.
These are not metaphors.
This is real in the physical world.
Start taking in more of God's medicine and God's molecules and you will be closer to God.
So thank you for listening to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams.
And we have many more sermons yet to come.
Very powerful information in each one.
I hope that you find value in this and inspiration.
And please don't take any of this as judgment.
Wherever you are in your life, you can make gradual changes to get closer to God, whether it's in food or behavior or habits or your relationship with money or your relationship with self or other people or whatever the case may be.
There's no judgment because life is hard.
And we don't have all the answers.
As humans, we figure it out the best we can.
So just make an effort each day to get closer to God and His vision for you, His intention for why you're here.
And that's all that God asks of you.
Just be genuine in your heart, in your mind, in your spirit.
Ask for guidance.
Ask for help.
And it shall be given.
Treat yourself with the dignity that you deserve.
Treat your body like a temple because you are a living, breathing miracle of God.
Don't let anybody else treat your body like an amusement park.
And don't treat it that way yourself.
So thank you for listening.
God bless you all.
And by the way, if you want to hear all the other sermons that I've published and many more to come, just go to the same place where you heard this sermon and you'll be able to get all of them.
And God bless you.
