Sermon #022 - Ephesians 6 - DETOX from Satan's molecules using God's medicine
|
Time
Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams, and today we are going to be talking about detoxification from Satan's molecules.
Now, what do you mean by the name Satan's molecules?
Well, you know how we're talking about molecules that God puts here on this planet through Mother Nature, expressed through plants and herbs and foods and superfoods, all kinds of amazing, miraculous nutrients all around us in nature.
I call those God's molecules.
And those molecules are designed to protect us.
Remember I said they're kind of like the armor of God at a molecular level, or the molecular armor of God, Ephesians 6?
And even mainstream nutritional science calls these molecules neuroprotective, right?
Protects the neurons, protects the brains, or hepatoprotective.
It protects the liver or cardioprotective, protects the heart and the circulatory system, or they may protect other body organs or body systems through a variety of means.
Many of them have antioxidant function, for example, and they're called antioxidants.
There are all kinds of alkaloids, all kinds of amazing nutrients.
Well, So all of God's molecules protect and support healthy biological function.
Whether that's at the cellular level or the organ level or the organ system level, they protect, support, and enhance your biological function.
Satan's molecules, most of which are synthesized by mankind, we'll get into this.
It's kind of interesting.
Satan's molecules have exactly the opposite.
They disrupt, they interfere with normal human biological function, they cause destruction and disease rather than health and abundance.
So for many of these molecules, such as for example synthetic pesticides, Or herbicides like atrazine, there is no dose at which it could even be therapeutic.
So atrazine, for example, is always a molecule of Satan.
At least that's the label I'm using here for convenience.
We're going to put it in the Satan's Molecules category.
But there are other molecules that can be toxic at high doses, but therapeutic at low doses.
And for example, we talked about apricots in a previous sermon.
And apricots contain vitamin B17 in the pits.
Or what's called laetrile.
And laetrile is widely talked about as a kind of natural targeted chemotherapy that has cytotoxic effects to kill cancer tumors selectively in the body.
So in other words, yes, laetrile is toxic.
And if you eat a bunch of laetrile, you could die.
But when that toxicity is targeted to cancer cells, cancer is an expression of a satanic kind of lack of organized division at the cellular level.
We'll cover that in another sermon.
But you could say that there's a satanic influence in the chaos or the lack of organized communication in cell division, and this gets expressed as cancer, and there could be many different causes of cancer.
For example, exposure to arsenic, a heavy metal, in toxic well water.
We talked about that, but many other causes of cancer beyond the scope of this sermon.
Nevertheless, The cytotoxic effects of this molecule in apricot pits can selectively kill cancer cells even though it's deadly in much higher doses.
So where do we put that?
Do we call that God's molecule or do we call that Satan's molecule?
And actually, that's in a middle ground.
We call it natural medicine.
These natural medicines must be administered under the shepherding of someone who is familiar with these medicines, familiar with the proper doses, and has wisdom and experience in knowing how to treat patients using these natural substances. and has wisdom and experience in knowing how to treat So there are some substances that you can consume in essentially unlimited quantities, as much as you want.
For example, fresh apples, let's say, or most of the fresh fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds that are out there.
You can't really overdose on, you know, salads and tomatoes and bananas and pears.
Why?
Because you'll get full.
You'll get full or you'll just get, quote, sick of that food and you just won't want it anymore.
You know, what happens if you eat apples every day?
Your body's going to tell you, hey, stop eating apples because you've had too much.
I'm sick of apples.
This is this internal communication.
It's actually wisdom of the body telling you to go eat something else because your body needs something else beyond just apples.
And I'm sure you've experienced this, we all have, where have you eaten the same food over and over and over again?
Maybe the first time you ate it, it was super delicious, but then the third time or the seventh time or whatever, it's like, oh, I'm sick of that.
That's your body telling you to go get something else.
So for foods, it's almost impossible to overdose on some kind of nutrient or slightly toxic nutrient found in the foods.
For But medicines, most of the medicines that come from nature have a very bitter taste or an offensive taste of some kind that tells your body, hey, don't eat this in large quantities.
So, for example, the apricot pits compound, laetrile, if you were to chew one of these apricot pits, you would say, oh, that's really, really yucky.
I mean, I do not want to eat a bunch of these because they just taste horrible.
And that's very accurate.
That's the way that nature is supposed to work.
And if you actually go around and you taste wild foods, and I just want to exercise caution, don't eat mystery mushrooms, by the way, because they can kill you.
Even if they don't taste bad, so just be very careful around fungi and mushroom identification is its own science.
Don't be an adventurous noob when it comes to just plucking mushrooms.
Hey, this looks delicious.
Let's eat it and see what happens because you might die.
But for most of the leafy vegetables and also many of the, even the fruits and so on that are out in nature, a taste is Will usually, but not always, but usually it will tell you this is some kind of medicine not to be consumed in large quantities.
And in fact, the native peoples all over the world, Native American Indians, indigenous aborigines in Australia, Amazonian Indians in South America, and so on, They had the wisdom to know that there are a series of tests about wild foods.
If they encounter something that they don't know what it is, then there's a series of tests.
Like, how do you determine if some wild plant is toxic or not?
And just briefly, I'll explain the way that they did it.
Native Americans use the same thing.
First, they would take the plant, chew it, And kind of, you know, get their saliva mixed with it, absorb a little bit of it in their mouth, and they would spit out the plant, and then they would wait.
Wait a few hours and see if you start to get dizzy, if you feel faint, if you feel nauseated, if you feel sick, if you have sweating, right?
All the symptoms of poisoning.
But in this case, you haven't swallowed the plant.
You've just swallowed a little bit of the juice of the plant.
And as native people realize, you'll probably be okay.
Again, I'm not suggesting that you go around eating everything that you can find if you don't know what you're doing.
Today, there are lots of wild plant identification tools available.
There are apps on mobile phones.
There are books and so on.
So yes, use the wisdom of humanity today.
If you attempt to be adventurous, make sure you know what you're eating.
I'm just saying for indigenous people that did not have those answers, there was a natural way to determine whether these plants were God's medicine or Satan's medicine, like healing medicine or poison.
By the way, if you survive that then, if you survived eating or chewing on the plant, then the next step would be to eat a little bit of it.
Or sometimes they would make a tea concoction, just a water extraction of the plant, drink the tea, and see how they felt.
Then eventually they would eat a little bit, a very tiny amount of the plant, wait a few hours, see how they felt.
And this was a methodical approach.
It actually makes sense.
And you'll notice that modern pharmaceutical medicine, which is rooted almost entirely in Satan's molecules, but there are exceptions to that, For example, ivermectin comes from soil microbes.
So that's not really Satan's molecules.
That's a therapeutic medicine that was provided by God and nature through soil.
But now it is replicated by pharmaceutical companies.
But it's still the same molecule as the soil microbes.
So ivermectin is actually medicine.
I would not put that in the category of Satan's molecules.
It's very therapeutic.
But most pharmaceuticals are designed to poison you in some way.
For example, some of the weight loss drugs that we've talked about, they poison your nerve, your vagus nerve, so that your stomach doesn't empty.
They paralyze your nerve.
Some blood pressure drugs, in essence, paralyze part of your heart muscle tissue so that it doesn't pump as vigorously.
And then this can lower blood pressure.
And since they call high blood pressure a disease, then lowering the blood pressure, they say it's a treatment for the disease.
But of course, the blood pressure itself is not really the problem.
It's not the disease.
It's usually a problem of what I call sludge blood.
So someone's blood is not flowing enough.
Sometimes they're just dehydrated.
They're not drinking enough water.
Other times they're eating a lot of toxic seed oils or hydrogenated oils or other substances, a lot of fried foods, for example, that can cause their blood to flow like molasses.
So of course you're going to have higher blood pressure.
If your blood is flowing like molasses and just taking blood pressure pills to poison your heart, that doesn't solve the problem in the blood, does it?
So we'll get to some of those topics later on.
But Satan's molecules are usually synthetic, and Big Pharma specifically puts them in capsules so that you don't taste them.
Now remember how I said that your tastes...
If you're out tasting herbs or plants or whatever natural medicines, your taste is a strong indicator of whether this is something that is safe to consume as a food or maybe you should have caution with that.
Now remember that your sense of taste and your sense of self-awareness, your closeness with your own heartbeat, your own state, your physiological state, are you sweating?
Are you dizzy?
How's your breathing?
How's your pulse?
This is something that, you know, it's an expression of the gift of life that God gave us, and yet most people ignore those things.
They don't check their pulse.
They go to a doctor.
Doctor, check my pulse.
Doctor, take my blood pressure.
Doctor, tell me if I'm sick.
Doctor, you run the test.
You draw the blood.
You tell me.
Hey, you know what?
Sure, there's a place for that, especially in emergency medicine, but there's a whole lot that you can do yourself if you just pay attention.
Traditional Chinese medicine does pulse analysis, which is incredibly beneficial, filled with information about the state of your vitality, your energy flow, your heart health, so much more just from your pulse alone.
But you can tune into your pulse with two fingers on your carotid artery underneath your neck.
That's a very simple thing to do.
You should be able to feel your pulse and to know, is it racing or is it normal?
This should be a normal, common thing to do.
You can tune into whether or not you feel dizzy, whether your heart rate is elevated, whether your respiration is elevated.
How do you feel?
Tune into yourself and don't think that only a doctor can tell you how you feel.
And then pay attention to your taste sense when it comes to whatever medicines you are taking.
If you're taking pharmaceuticals, by the way, Have you ever tried to taste them?
Have you ever taken a pill if it's a capsule and opened it up and just tasted a little bit of what's in the capsule?
If you have done that, you'll probably remember that it was horribly tasting.
Well, that's an indication, isn't it?
It's an indication that it's some kind of toxin, usually is the case.
And so be cautious about those things.
They're put into pill format in order to bypass your sense of taste, which is actually one of your body's defenses against poisons.
Now, for the verse today, I should have mentioned this earlier, we're going to go to Ephesians chapter 5, which you may say, what?
That's about like wives and husbands and purity and things like that, walking in love.
Yeah, it'll all make sense.
We're going to tie it together, but it'll be verse, well, we'll start actually at the top.
We'll start with verse 1 in chapter 5.
But let me give you a little bit of background.
So Paul the Apostle, He spent, obviously, many years traveling around and teaching the people of different cities, such as Corinth, from which we get 1 and 2 Corinthians and so on.
But this was the city of Ephesus, or, I mean, it's pronounced different ways.
I like to pronounce it Ephesus, because that's consistent with the name of the book Ephesians, right?
So the Ephesians are the people of Ephesus, right?
And again, I know not everybody pronounces it that way, but we can pronounce it however we want, right?
This is our congregation.
We can say it however we want.
But here in chapter 5, it says, And walk in love.
He's saying follow God's teachings.
Try to imitate what God has taught you.
And walk in love as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us.
A fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Okay?
Very clear.
Walk in the teachings of Christ.
Verse 3, he says, but sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you As is proper among saints, let there be no filthiness, nor foolish talk, nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
And of course my reaction is, well that sounds like no fun.
We can't have foolish talk from time to time.
I love a little bit of foolish talk.
And yes, we'll throw out slightly filthy limericks from time to time, not in these sermons, but in my other work.
I do have a very strong sense of humor.
And I'm not afraid to throw out a little kind of on the edge, a little bit of filthiness humor from time to time because laughter is medicine.
We'll talk about that another time.
But anyway, he's talking about the priest class here, you know, the ministers.
But more importantly, he's saying, don't engage in sexual immorality or impurity.
Now, there are a lot of impurities that end up in your blood through perverse sexual acts.
For example, sodomy and some homosexual acts and so on.
Anal intercourse, sorry to be graphic, but exposes you to things that should not be in your blood.
And this is why many of the most crazy autoimmune disorders of our day, such as HIV or AIDS, as it's called, tend to occur among people who engage in those kinds of practices because their blood becomes very filthy.
And when your blood is filthy, as we've talked about many times, then it's very difficult to walk a spiritual path because you have all these impurities, these toxins in your blood, and it's altering your mind.
It's compromising your immune system.
It's compromising the tissues of your body.
So detox, which is the subject of today's sermon, is implied through this chapter of More again later here.
But it is implied in many cases throughout the Bible.
The washing of the feet that Jesus carried out.
The baptism.
Water.
Washing over someone and washing away their sin.
What does that symbolize?
Well, water is a solvent.
Water is a chemical solvent.
It is the most common solvent on the planet.
and as a solvent, it can absorb and put into solutions Satan's molecules or toxic chemicals, and it can wash them away.
This is the act of bathing, to wash the toxins off the surface of your body, and the act of sweating is to take toxins that are in your skin and push them out to the surface of your skin.
So sweating followed by washing is a kind of baptism.
It removes the, quote, sin of Satan's molecules from the surface of your skin.
I don't know if you've ever thought about showering and bathing in that light, but that is exactly what it is accomplishing.
And remember, what's in your blood ends up in your tissues.
And then what's in your tissues can end up being exhaled through your breath or pushed out through sweat or eliminated through bowel movements and urination.
So there are multiple routes of toxic elimination.
And every one of these routes in a healthy person functions normally and routinely to remove toxins from your blood.
But the best way to not have toxic blood is to not expose yourself to these toxic blood situations.
In other words, don't engage in filthy sex acts.
And, you know, the Apostle Paul warns about this in Corinthians, 1 Corinthians, I believe, as well.
And many other places throughout the Bible, Old Testament as well.
You know, don't engage in filthy sex acts.
Well, why?
This is why.
Because it contaminates your blood.
So in verse 5, Paul writes, For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous, That is, an idolator, someone who worships idols, has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Now, by the way, if you read more of Paul's work, you'll notice that Paul moves to an area for a few years, teaches the word of Christ, and It gets a lot of people excited and joining the church and becoming more moral and more Christian, you could say.
And then he moves away from that area, goes to another area, and then the initial area slides into apparently like sex orgies and prostitution and homosexual acts and just immorality and filthiness and so on.
And then he has to come back to that area and remind them, like, what have you done?
But isn't this also sort of a cycle of human behavior?
That sometimes people, when they come to God, and they experience the gifts of God, the bountiful nature of God, good health, abundance, the gift of families, and so on, the gift of community.
And then they forget that God gave them that, and then in their wealth, especially material wealth, and in their power and in their arrogance, then they go crazy, and they just start having crazy, perverted sex acts, and typically that ends up in all kinds of abortion killings, and then in some cases child sacrifice, and in some cases pedophilia.
You can imagine all kinds of evil things.
I mean, all the evil that exists today also existed back then, you know, in the time of Ephesians and long before that, you know, in the time of Jeremiah, as we covered in previous sermons, and again and again and again throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament.
So it's like humankind just keeps drifting towards filth and perversion and immorality and deception.
And it's people like Paul, and obviously Christ himself, but God's vision, God's words through Christ and his disciples that has to keep reminding humanity, hey, stop being filthy.
And that is a detoxification theme.
It's a spiritual detoxification in the Bible, but it also refers to the blood.
It refers to behavior.
It refers to the body, mind, and spirit.
The detoxification has to happen at multiple levels in order to be effective.
So he continues in verse 7, Therefore do not become partners with them, for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light.
For the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true.
Now, this is very important because he's reminding everybody that before Christ, you were all sinners and you had to carry the burden of your sin.
Or even in your own lifetime, if before you allowed Christ into your life, you had periods of darkness, you had sin, you made mistakes, you were darkness, says Paul.
But now that Christ has entered your life and on a broader perspective that Christ died for your sins, that you being all of humanity, by the way, that now you can walk with a different life.
You can walk as children of light, which means, of course, truth and righteousness and God's presence moving through you.
And that the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true.
I love the fact that they use the word fruit here because, of course...
I'm enamored by the foods mentioned in the Bible, but the fruit of light, right?
So in other words, here we are equating, in essence, fruit and the abundance of food and nutrition with the light of God shining through you.
Note that when God refers to or when Paul refers to fruit, it is a positive Christ-like thing.
It is abundance.
It is nutrition.
It is health.
Nourishment and detoxification.
And that's true physically and scientifically because fruit contains pectin fiber.
Most fruits do.
And the pectin fiber functions as a broom in your digestive tract and it brooms out heavy metals, pesticides, toxins, all kinds of cancer-causing chemicals that are in the food.
And this is why I've told people many times, In my other podcast, as a food scientist, I've said, look, if you go out and you eat, let's say, barbecue, Well, the barbecue, let's call it barbecue brisket or ribs or something.
Barbecue, because of the way that fats are burned and charred during the barbecue and the smoke that penetrates the meat in the barbecue.
And by the way, I love a good brisket myself from time to time.
Maybe once every few months is kind of my frequency.
But that meat contains cancer-causing chemicals because of the smoke and the burning.
And there are literal cancer-causing chemicals created during that process.
Well, so how do you protect yourself from that?
Well, there's a concept that I've come up with many years ago called defensive eating.
And defensive eating means that you can still eat the barbecue, but at the same time, you eat something else with it that protects you from the cancer-causing chemicals in the barbecue.
And in the case of barbecue, guess what that would be?
Well, raw coleslaw.
Or raw cabbage in coleslaw.
Or fruits.
But cabbage contains anti-cancer nutrients that are part of the cabbage family of foods.
They contain sulfur-based compounds that are anti-cancer.
So isn't it interesting that traditional barbecue meals have coleslaw served with barbecue?
Why do they go together?
Part of the reason why they go together is because The coleslaw protects you from the barbecue.
And that way, if you want to enjoy barbecue, there's a way for you to do that.
And we don't have to be food Nazis, as the saying goes.
We don't have to demand that you never eat barbecue, never enjoy a barbecue meal with your family, if that's something that you do.
I know that some people are vegans and vegetarians, and so they wouldn't eat barbecue anyway.
And frankly, those people would not be exposed to the barbecue toxins, but sometimes they can lack other nutrients like B12 or saturated fats that have their own role in nutrition.
We'll talk about that later.
But if you eat coleslaw and barbecue together, then the coleslaw tends to nullify the cancer effect in the barbecue.
And it's even better if you eat fresh fruit with it.
So you know how they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
And in this case, the apple, rather than being a symbol of evil in the Garden of Eden, the apple, when consumed before a meal of barbecue, can fill your gut with natural pectins and fruit fibers that absorb and mop up the cancer-causing can fill your gut with natural pectins and fruit fibers that absorb and mop So, if you ever go out and eat barbecue again, perhaps you will.
I would imagine most of you will, one time or another.
There's a really simple thing to do.
Eat an apple before.
Just eat an apple or half an apple or an orange.
Eat a piece of fruit, like fresh.
I don't mean fruit juice.
That doesn't have the fiber in it.
I'm talking about a fresh piece of fruit.
Eat it, chew it well, finish that, and then sit down for your barbecue meal with the coleslaw and the barbecue, if that's something you enjoy, and And guess what?
You're using then God's molecules as defensive systems to protect you against toxic molecules created during the process of cooking.
So this is how to use God's molecules in alignment wisely so that you can still go out and enjoy many of the foods that you wish to enjoy from time to time.
You don't have to engage in nutritional chastity.
For example, you can still enjoy your life and prevent cancer at the same time.
So I've got a big list of all kinds of things that you can take or eat before you eat something else that have a very protective effect.
For example, did you know that curcumin, which is found in turmeric root, eliminates fluoride from the body?
So if you've had too much fluoride, well, how do you get rid of it?
You know, fluoride is toxic to your endocrine system, and it's toxic to your teeth if you ingest it.
So how do you get rid of it?
Well, curcumin found in turmeric.
And where do you get turmeric?
Well, you can eat it as a food.
You can take it as a supplement.
You can grow it yourself.
I grow turmeric.
It's a beautiful, beautiful plant.
Grows a lot like ginger plants because it's the same kind of thing, you know, a beautiful root in the ground.
And it's a very powerful orange root.
And every time I go to the dentist for teeth cleaning, I get mocked a little bit.
They say, why is all your dental work orange?
And it's because I drink turmeric every day.
I have done so for many, many years.
I put about a Maybe a tablespoon into my smoothie every single day.
My smoothie consists of avocados and some coconut water and some whey protein.
Sometimes some flax seeds.
I put in some broccoli sprout powder and some other ingredients.
Right now I'm using a little bit of black cumin seed oil, which is another powerful molecule.
Medicinal.
Tastes nasty, but if you know how to use it, it's very medicinal.
I put that into the smoothie.
And bananas, by the way, which makes it really, really delicious.
We will have smoothie recipes for you as part of our teachings.
So have no fear.
Smoothie recipes will soon be here.
All right, but curcumin eliminates fluoride from the body, and there are many other things that you can take or eat or grow that can achieve detoxification.
Now, getting back to the scripture, I know I can barely get through this.
This is the challenge I always have about reading scripture.
I read like one verse and then my brain goes off for 20 minutes on something related to that.
So here we go.
Back to, for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true.
And try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
Wasn't that what we do?
We expose.
The unfruitful works of darkness is a big part of what we do.
He continues, for it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.
What do you think he's talking about?
Yeah.
Since he's talking to the Ephesians, you know, he's talking about all the perverted fornication activities they engage in.
After church services, you know, because they're so sinful and wicked.
Verse 13, but when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible.
For anything that becomes visible is light.
Therefore, it says, awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
Now, again, every time I read a verse, it reminds me of some really powerful thing.
And this verse reminds me of the healing power of light therapy.
Did you know that light therapy, specific wavelengths, some ultraviolet, some visible, infrared, that the right wavelengths will awaken what are called senescent cells?
These are cells within your body and your tissues that are not quite dead, but they're not really alive either.
They're kind of in a zombie state, somewhere between life and death.
They need to be awakened and reactivated in order to join the living systems of your body.
That is done through light, by the way.
Again, verse 13, but when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible.
For anything that becomes visible is light.
Therefore, it says, awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead.
That's what we're talking about.
And did you know that the sun in the sky...
Which is also interesting, the Son of God.
So the sun in the sky as a metaphor for the Son of God and the light of Christ.
So we have light from the sun in the sky that shines upon you, and there is a protective magnetosphere around the planet that shines This is equivalent
to infrared therapy.
This is equivalent to that.
Because the sun is emitting those wavelengths and being in the sun, having the sun touch your skin, especially if you have tissues or organs that need to be awakened, sunlight therapy is medicine.
So if you just look up into the sky, I mean, don't look directly at the sun, but what I'm saying is above you is medicine.
There's medicine in space.
It's traveling through space.
The sun is medicine.
Light is medicine.
And here it is.
Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
He's saying the sun in the sky will shine on you with the light of Christ that reawakens your nearly dead cells and can help you heal.
It's right there.
You know, it's right there.
That's verse 14.
This is Ephesians chapter 5.
So light is medicine.
Sound is medicine, by the way.
Those are different forms of vibrational medicine.
Love is medicine.
Intention is medicine.
Prayer is medicine.
And also, molecules can be medicine.
Many things can be medicine.
Like I said, if you walk around a forest, you'll have a hard time pointing to anything that isn't medicine.
Minerals are medicine.
But there are some minerals that are toxic.
So we need to have discernment, and that is spoken about right here in this chapter.
In any case, kind of skipping ahead to verse 18, Paul says, And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit.
He did not say spirits, plural.
He said the Spirit.
Okay?
So, no excuses, folks.
Do not get drunk with wine.
And yes, of course, I completely agree with this.
This is consistent with what I teach.
And as you may know from me, I do not drink alcohol.
I don't know if you could say it's been part of my religion or my faith or my practice.
I don't know.
For me, I never desired to drink alcohol.
Every time that I tried it a few times in my life, Once a friend gave me a can of beer when I was in high school.
Like, drink this!
You know, and you're in high school.
Like, maybe I'll try it, you know, because you're silly.
And so, took a drink of that.
Yuck!
Nasty!
Ugh!
The last time I ever drank from a can of beer was when I was, you know, 18 or something.
And it's like, from that day on, I was known as, like, the guy in the group that just would never drink.
And so, of course, I became the designated driver also through college.
I was the guy who wouldn't use drugs.
I was the guy who didn't do alcohol.
I was the guy who didn't smoke pot.
And there were many hilarious circumstances surrounding that because it turns out it's actually very beneficial to have presence of mind when you're in a group of people who are high or drunk And who do not have that presence of mind.
It gives you quite a cognitive advantage that played out in some very fun ways throughout my youth.
Now, jumping ahead in verse 22, he's talking about how wives should be obedient to their husbands.
I could imagine that would be controversial among feminist groups in our world today, but then again, the feminist groups have been sort of I'm thrown under the bus by the transgender groups now and the LGBT movement, which doesn't believe that women exist.
So I'm not sure what the current status is with the feminists of that.
But in verse 25, Paul says, Alright, so there's a lot to unpack here, but I want to bring your attention to...
The aggregation of love and closeness and dedication with the purity of the washing of the water combined with the Word.
So, in other words, we must be physically clean with the washing of the water and we must be spiritually clean with the Word.
And only with this purity can we then join together, can we come together in this case as a couple, but also the metaphor here presents the church as the bride.
So if we are to be married to the message of Christ and married to the church in essence as if we were married to a bride, then we also need to present ourselves to the church with a degree of purity that honors what the church represents.
And you may note that I already mentioned two rules in our church, which is rule number one, you don't show up having been vaccinated within the last 30 days because you will be shedding alien protein fragments on the other members of the congregation.
Therefore, As in Ephesians 5 here, you need to have cleansed yourself.
You need to eliminate the shedding, which will happen over time, typically, before you show up to the church.
Don't show up to the church drunk, high, contaminated, or polluted.
Or the second rule in our congregation is reeking of toxic fragrance.
So if you are reeking of fragrance or cologne or perfume or skin lotions or what have you, a lot of people wear crazy shampoos that have crazy fragrance in the shampoos.
And they can't smell it because they've already burned out their sense of smell for those chemicals because they've been using the shampoo every day for 10 years and they can't even detect it anymore.
Their senses have become nullified.
They've become sort of blind in the olfactory sense.
To the molecules that they are shedding onto others around them.
So this passage, I find it very important because of the rules we have with our congregation and any kind of in-person events or sermons or services that we have.
You are not welcomed if you show up with toxins and you're going to intoxicate the people around you.
Again, in verse 27 it says, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
My interpretation of that and the way that we apply it I don't care so much about the clothing.
You don't have to be wrinkle-free in your clothes.
I don't expect everybody to show up in a suit and a dress.
I don't either.
But I see the spotlessness or the lack of wrinkles and so on.
I see that as a metaphor for our body, for our body purity.
Let's be clean in our bodies and in our blood.
And in our state of mind, that to me is far more important than what someone wears because I don't want to exclude someone just because maybe they can't afford a suit or they can't afford nice shoes.
And I'm wearing tennis shoes right now.
I'm wearing ranch pants right now.
I'm not dressing up in order to give this sermon, but my body is pure.
I'm drinking a turmeric smoothie right now today.
I'm drinking rainwater as I do every single day.
I'm not inebriated.
I don't drink alcohol.
I don't do recreational drugs.
I don't take prescription medications.
The only medication that I will take from time to time is ivermectin, which I just buy over the counter, so that's not even prescription the way I acquire it.
And I will only take that if I feel symptomatic.
Or if I'm expecting to be around people who may themselves be shedding.
If I'm going to go into a group of shedding people, I'm going to use God's molecules to protect me in advance.
This is another important strategy.
So I may take ivermectin in advance.
I may load up on vitamin C. I'll make sure I've got extra vitamin D, quercetin, zinc, artemisinin from wormwood, which we already covered, all of these things.
I will make sure that I am protected in the molecular armor of God through nutrition and foods.
And then I will go speak to a group.
And then, yes, they'll be shedding all over me and all kinds of people with all kinds of fragrance and laundry detergent.
That's another horrible one.
And then...
When I'm done with that, guess what I do?
I go home, I take off all my clothes, I take a shower, I bathe in rainwater, and I do laundry to clean all the fragrance and all the toxins out of the clothes because I can smell it.
I can smell it.
People like to hug me when I speak publicly, and I love their intention, I love their desire, but sadly, many of these people who hug me, they have toxic chemicals in their clothes, in their hair, in their cosmetics, in their makeup, in their skin, their deodorants, and so on.
And so by hugging me, what they are doing is they are also, in a way, they are transferring their toxic chemicals to my clothes.
I tolerate it, but I don't appreciate that.
So just note that about me, if you ever see me in person, and if you have fragrance and laundry detergent and, you know, whatever, just shake my hand instead of hugging me.
But if you are clean, I welcome and embrace if you are clean.
And this is just something, this didn't come out of my religious education or teachings.
This is something that I practiced for 20 years.
This is something that just came naturally out of being someone who is into clean foods and clean nutrition and so on.
And this is just a natural extension of that.
I have, and you will find that you have, the cleaner you get, you will have very high sensitivity perception in your sense of smell, in your sense of taste.
I have a sense of smell that is just crazy sensitive.
In the food lab, Where we test for foods.
I'm known as the walking mass spec because I can walk into the lab, which is a fairly good-sized laboratory, you know, a couple thousand square feet, and instantly when I breathe the air in the lab, I know which person is present there because there's one person that works there that has a very specific type of laundry detergent.
And I instantly, oh, yep, that person's here today.
Because I can smell their detergent.
Or if I enter a grocery store, like in Texas, there's a very popular chain of grocery stores called HEB. The moment, even actually before I enter the store, in the parking lot, I can smell the laundry detergents coming out of the cleaning aisle in HEB as the doors are opening and the smell is sort of wafting out into the parking lot.
I can smell it before I enter the store.
And I can smell it on the plastic bags that hold the fresh produce.
So, for example, if I buy organic grapes, and then I go home and wash the grapes, take them out of the bag, and I can take the bag, I can smell laundry detergent chemicals on the bag of the grapes.
Now, this ability, I'm not a superhero or an X-Man or anything.
This is normal.
This is normal.
If you stop assaulting your senses with toxic chemicals, you will gain sensory acuity.
Your sense of taste and smell will come back, and your mind will become sharper than ever before because the sense of taste and smell, your sensory experience, is very much tied to your intelligence, by the way.
You will also find that you will enjoy natural foods much more because you'll be able to taste them.
Instead of just using salt and sugar and whatever as the overriding blunt instrument of carpet bombing your tongue with an overkill of salt, which is the normal American palate, instead of that, when you have sensory acuity, you'll be able to taste amazing things in foods.
You will taste the sweetness in oats, for example, or the sweetness in corn.
Or you will taste the savory nature of a tomato in ways that you never did before.
So remember, give up the toxic chemicals.
You will be richly rewarded with an enhanced sensory experience of life, which is a gift from God.
But most modern-day people assault their senses.
And as a result, they lose sensory acuity and they don't experience life in the way that God intended.
Now, continuing with Ephesians 5, verse 28, in the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies, he who loves his wife loves himself.
No one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.
Okay, once again, Ephesians 5, Paul gives us a lot to unpack here.
So clearly we see the same metaphor here between the body and the body of Christ or the body of the church, right?
But also, he says here in verse 29, for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.
Well, perhaps that was true in those days, but today in our modern time, we do see people that hate their own flesh, don't we?
And we know that because they mutilate themselves.
So there are plenty of people who hate their flesh and they express it by smoking crack or getting demon tattoos all over their bodies or having crazy piercings, piercing their nose and their lips and ears and nipples and who knows what else, piercing everything.
And, of course, there's the transgender mutilations that take place targeting children today.
So today, because of the rise of Satanism and how Satanic influences have infected and afflicted so many people today, there are people who hate their own flesh.
And they don't nourish it and cherish it.
They seek to destroy it.
And these people, I would say, are expressing Satanism.
They have been infested.
And perhaps they don't realize it, but satanic forces have taken over their decision-making process and their minds.
And some of these people are very easy to spot because they engage in what Steve Quayle calls outpicturing.
Outpicturing is to try to make your outer body appear like your inner demon for those who are demon-infested.
And so bit by bit, little by little, they change their outward appearance to become more and more And no doubt you've seen these.
They change their hair.
They change their eyebrows.
They change their makeup.
And again, the mutilations and usually the demon tattoos.
And their whole look, and you see their eyes change too.
You've probably seen before and after pictures, let's say like a 17-year-old beautiful teenage girl Woman, girl that goes to college, let's say, a woke college.
And then two years later, you see the same woman or young woman or girl.
You see them.
They come out of the woke college now looking like a vampire.
And you might be thinking, what happened?
Is this the same person?
Well, what happened is demonic infestation.
And they did not nourish their body.
They did not cherish their body, but they mutilated their body.
They hated their own flesh.
And people who engage in systemic, ongoing drug abuse are expressing a kind of hatred for their own flesh, and they are struggling with demons, which is a description that's often applied to those who are dealing with addictions.
And I'm not making light of addictions.
I've known people who have suffered extreme addictions lately, One of my family members was killed by an overdose of fentanyl.
He died with a needle in his arm.
I've seen addictive behavior in my own family.
I've been around people with addictions.
I even said earlier, like in college, I would be the one guy in the room not smoking pot, not drinking beer, while my, quote, friends in college, they were high and drunk.
I've been around many, many situations like that in my life.
And also, even before I went to college, there were alcoholics in my family.
I mean, not my parents, thank God.
Not my siblings, but I mean, more distant family.
There were alcoholics.
There were substance abusers.
So I've seen that behavior again and again, and I'm not trying to make light of it, and I'm not trying to say that if you're listening to this and you're suffering from a substance addiction problem, I'm not saying that you're evil.
I'm saying get help.
Get help.
And potentially the church and faith can help you in that journey.
And there are a great many resources in our society today for dealing with addiction.
But did you know that turning to nutrition and getting more minerals into your diet has helped a great many people ease addictions?
Did you know that?
There are all sorts of natural substances that God has placed here on this planet for us that can help us through any kind of addictions.
It's not an easy journey.
It's not a quick fix.
There's no magic.
Just take this pill and you're all good.
It doesn't work that way.
But there are things that can help you along that journey.
And I believe that your relationship with Christ is the most important part of that.
So turn to faith.
Also turn to nutrition.
And that's what we teach here.
That is what we teach.
And if you do both, I believe you can come out of addiction.
You can leave behind that part of your life, which is what Paul was speaking to here.
Remember the days of darkness?
Verse 8, For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light.
You can make that transition at any time.
Each of us can.
This is the blessing that Christ gave us by dying for our sins.
He gave us the opportunity to make that change in a moment.
Or perhaps it takes days, perhaps it takes weeks, but it is a gift to you to make that choice to change your path and to walk with the Lord, to walk in the light.
Let me add that.
To walk with the fruit of the light, as they say.
Got to bring in the fruit there, too, because that's part of this.
So if you want to detox, if you want to be pure in your blood and in your spirit, there is a method for doing that.
And it is what we teach.
So we'll have much more for you here.
I have such vast knowledge of foods and nutrition and superfoods to share with you that I've collected over 20 plus years as a food scientist and food nutritionist and food educator and now Learning how these are represented in the scripture, it's just amazing to me.
It's amazing.
It really lights up the Bible for me to be able to teach this and bring you this information and connect these dots in ways that just most people had never thought about these connections.
But it is all connected.
Remember, body, mind, and spirit.
Think about the purity.
You cleanse your body, that brings you closer to a pure spirit and a pure mind.
Your spiritual health, your mental health, and your physical health are all interrelated.
And the physical health is the lowest level of that, you know, the physical substances that are in your blood.
And that's where you can do instant work.
You can change what you eat and drink tonight.
You can drink more pure water.
Your body will naturally detoxify over time.
Did you know that?
You don't have to go through some kind of heroic vomiting and diarrhea.
I'm detoxing!
I hear stories from people like, I had diarrhea for four days and now I'm detoxing!
I'm like, did you know you don't have to suffer like that?
Did you know that if you eat clean foods and drink clean water and breathe cleaner air every day, your body naturally detoxes every single day.
Every glass of water you drink that is clean is detoxification.
Every clean fruit that you eat that's organic, doesn't contain pesticides and herbicides and toxic substances, that's a detox.
Every single piece of fruit, every herb, every leaf from your garden that you eat that is clean is detoxification.
Every drop of sweat that your body emits as you are physically working or walking or spending some reasonable time in the sun, this is detoxification.
Let the water wash over you and remove those toxins.
Baptism is not meant to be a one-time thing.
In essence, the baptism of the water washing over you with the Word of God, this can be a daily ritual, which is showering, clean water, prayer, sweating, which is totally normal.
These can be daily rituals, daily purification.
And this is just one final comment in all of this.
I hear people...
Say things like, you know, I gotta be baptized.
I gotta go down to the river.
I wanna be dunked in the river and be baptized.
Do you have any idea what's in that river?
By the way, this is not the year 600 BC. You know, the rivers today are toxic.
The rivers are flushed with the sewage of the cities, okay?
So the cities, they take the sewage and then they put it in these ponds for a few days and then they let the sunlight hit it and try to sterilize all the viruses and they treat it this way and that way and then they release it into the rivers.
You want to be baptized in a river full of feces?
You know, that would be the E. coli baptism.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
You don't want to be baptized in a river.
I mean, not...
Hardly anywhere in the world today.
But you can shower in clean water.
You can drink clean water.
And the cleanest water of all is rainwater.
We'll talk about water in an upcoming sermon about the different types of water and what's the cleanest form.
But rainwater is the cleanest form.
But washing with clean water each day is a daily baptism when combined with the Word, combined with prayer.
It's very simple.
It's very simple.
As the water is washing over you, you can say, Dear God, thank you for this water.
Thank you for this gift of detoxification as I am on my journey toward purity of the body and the blood.
To walk in the footsteps of Christ in pursuit of the, you could even say, the fruit of the light that is found in all that is good and right and true in order to achieve greater spiritual closeness and integrity with your teachings.
Dear God, however you wish to phrase it, In the name of our living God, our almighty creator, he who created all these molecules, gave us all these plants, all these things here for our benefit.
In your name, God.
Amen.
However you wish to say that.
And just say a little prayer.
It could be 30 seconds as you're washing with clean water.
Just do it routinely.
And then you are, you're taking that walk daily.
And then be mindful of what you eat, be mindful of what you're drinking, be mindful of what you're putting on your skin or washing your clothes with, and make small incremental improvements each and every day to walk more closely with the teachings of the Lord.
That is the path that gets you closer to Christ.
That is the path that is honored by God.
God doesn't expect you to change everything overnight.
I don't think so.
I mean, I guess I can't speak for his mind, but I believe that the intentions of the teachings through the Bible are to encourage you to make these constant improvements closer and closer to the teachings of God and Christ, and that if you are on that path with your heart and with authenticity, then you're doing good in the eyes of the Lord.
So walk that path each and every day, and I believe that you too shall find God working miracles in your life.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for listening to today's sermon.
We have much more to come.
A lot.
I can't even...
I've said I'm going to do 100 sermons, and we're on number 22 here.
100 won't even scratch the surface, it turns out.
Think about it.
We have barely scratched the surface.
So much wealth and knowledge and so many miracles to talk about.
But we'll start with 100 and see what happens from there.
And wherever you found this sermon, you can find more sermons at that same location.
God bless you all, and thank you for listening today.
