0:00 You are listening to Waters Church podcast. Waters Church is a multisite, multigeneration community of faith on the East Coast of America. Now for a message from our pastor.0:13 Let's take out our notes. They look like this, and the series is let's get healthy. Let's say it together. 1, 2, 3. Let's get healthy. Turn to your neighbor and say, just in time for0:25 you. Oh, I don't know why I do that. My wife tells me, don't do that. I'm sorry. Thank you,0:37 Cheryl. I should listen to her more often because this series is the birth child of my wife, to be honest with you. Of course, it's always0:49 gonna be rooted in the word of God, but it was something that I was challenged with when we did our 7 day fast back in January. If you're new to our church,1:01 every first of the year, we do a extended fast, and we challenge you to fast at in some way, shape, or form over the course of a 7 day period. Some people go hard on that. They do all1:12 7 days. Some people, they do a fraction or they mix they skip them, you know, they fast for a meal every day. However you do that, there's no rules. There's no legalism about that. But it is to seek the1:24 Lord and discern his will for your life. How many of you could use a little bit more clarity from the Lord? I wanna tell you why you don't have clarity. It's because your mind is filled with junk.1:37 The reason why you have junk in your mind is because you have to learn how to control what goes in. Now when I talk about health in this series, I wanna make a couple of qualifiers. If I if it's not1:49 in the word, if it's not in the scriptures, you have permission to disagree and not do what I tell you. So I'm going to tell you things that I've been doing. I've been getting a2:01 lot of comments lately from people that I've lost weight, and I have. I'm down 14 pounds since January first. And, I didn't notice until I saw a picture2:13 from last year about this time, and I was like, wow. I have lost weight. You don't notice it until you see it from a few, months ago or before you started. And, so there's a reason behind that,2:26 and there's a story in my story that roots me in what I do. I am in the gym 5 to 6 times a week. I walk my 2 beautiful rambunctious boxer2:37 dogs, usually twice a day for a mile each time on top of going to the gym. And I've instituted some health habits when it comes to my diet in2:49 20 25 that have made all the difference. This is my story. I was raised in the church. I was raised watching what you're watching right now, people preaching from the3:01 word. But every minister that preached the word to me when I was young was severely overweight. It was a bit of a3:13 problem in my mind, even as a young boy. You know, kids can pick up on stuff. Amen? And I had a problem. I said, you know, you're talking about obeying God's word and telling us how3:25 we should live, but look at your physicality tells me you don't do it. Could you imagine the pastor, you know, being naked in front of you and preaching?3:37 You know, that would be sin. Yeah? Or or, you know, say he's, I don't know, ripping an old lady off of her money in front of you as he's preaching. Very visibly, he's not doing3:49 what he's telling you to do, and so it was a struggle for me. And I was also I had a grandfather, and I love him to death, still to this day. He's up with the Lord,4:00 waiting for all of us to get there, and I thank God for his influence, but he was massively overweight, and he was a pastor. And I always struggled with that dichotomy. Live it.4:13 I believe you need to be smoking what you're selling. Amen. For lack of a better analogy on let's get healthy Sunday. So first, you have every right to disagree with the4:25 things that I suggest, although I think that they're good. Second, I will be suggesting the things that work for me. And thirdly, misinformation is everywhere. COVID4:37 is over, but I can tell you now, 5 years later, I thank God for COVID because it shattered the4:48 illusion of the experts. It shattered this statement that was kind of commensurate with the entire pandemic.5:00 Trust the science. And thank God a lot of people didn't trust the science. You don't trust science as if it's fixed.5:11 Science by nature is an exploration of what is not fixed. It's never fixed. It's always moving unsettled. And so to that end, we begin this5:23 series in the book of Daniel. Chapter 1, with me for the reading of God's word. I wanna read just a few verses and we will cover the rest. Verse 8 of Daniel chapter 1, but Daniel resolved.5:35 Say those 3 words with me. But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food or with the wine that he drank. And this is the5:47 reading of God's word. Let's pray together. Father, in Jesus' name, speak through your servant. May I get out of the way so that Jesus can have his way, and may we see him, him and him only. In his mighty name, we pray.5:58 And everybody said Amen. Amen. God bless you. Have a seat. I wanna talk to you on the Daniel Diet. And before we get to that, I want you to write a couple of preliminary things down in your notes. Number 1, this is the6:10 fact, my body matters to God. We we think that our spirit only matters to God. Our body matters to6:21 God. Amen, brother. I know your body is going to be in the ground someday, but the scriptures tell us that someday Jesus is going to come back and resurrect your body. Isn't that good news?6:33 You're like, no. That's not good news. I don't like my body. Well, it's gonna be a far more glorious body. Amen. The scripture says it's sown in weakness.6:45 You ever see anybody get old and frail and they just get weak and it's harder to, you know, develop muscles in your older age and all that kind of stuff? And no matter what you do, no matter what you staple, sew, stitch,6:58 suck out of you, yes, It gets gross. It just does. You know? This is why if you're married to somebody, love them as they are right now7:10 because they're only getting worse. Alright? It's sown in weakness, but it's raised in power. It's sown mortal. It's raised immortal. It's7:21 sown perishable. This is our body. It's sown imperishable. And we will be getting supernatural, I like to say, supercharged bodies at the resurrection of the righteous. So if7:33 you don't like your body, good news, there's gonna be a new body. But your present body matters. Jesus was asked in Mark chapter 12, what's the greatest commandment? Here was his answer, verse 29. This is7:45 the answer. The greatest commandment. Most important is this. Hear, o Israel, and he's quoting from Deuteronomy here. Love the Lord your God is 1, and then he says, and you shall love the Lord your God7:57 with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your Mind. Mind, and with all your Strength. Okay. The word for strength can also be translated body. You8:09 have to love God with your body. Your body is a temple. This is what Paul will tell us in first Corinthians chapter 3 verse 16. Do you not know? Look at the question.8:21 Do you forget? Don't you realize that your body is God's, what? Temple. And God's spirit, the holy the third person of the trinity8:34 all Christians believe this, by the way. All Christians, Catholic and Protestant, believe that the Holy Spirit dwells in your body. When we leave8:46 here today, this building will just be a building. The spirit, God, leaves with you. Amen.8:58 Now in the Old Testament, and we just got done with Nehemiah. This is wonderful how Daniel's story will tie in. Nehemiah is on the back end of the exile. Daniel's on the front end of the exile.9:10 This is the 70 year period for which Israel was judged by God for disobeying him. And, what you have to understand about the history of Israel is that the temple was the9:22 most important building in their entire country. Don't touch the temple. Don't don't desecrate the temple. In fact, they were punished and they were exiled from their land because9:33 they desecrated the inside of the temple. They put improper things inside the temple. And Israel in their history was9:45 blessed by God with 3 temples. Somebody say 3. 3. Here's the thing. All 3 temples were9:56 destroyed, historically. Solomon's temple was destroyed by the Babylonians. Zerubbabel's temple, that's the 1 that Nehemiah built the wall for, was destroyed and10:08 by the Greeks. And then Herod's temple, the 1 that Jesus came into, which was really a rehab of Zerubbabel's temple, was destroyed in AD 70 by general Titus of the Roman10:20 army. And quick question, does anybody know, does the temple stand in Israel today? No. There's10:32 1 remaining wall. They call it the wailing wall because every single day, Jews go to that wall and weep and pray10:44 that God will give them back their temple. Israel had 3 temples, and all 3 temples were targets of their political10:56 enemies, and all 3 temples, because they didn't treat it right, were destroyed by their enemies. The Old Testament is a picture for New Testament11:07 principles. So it stands to reason that if the Old Testament temple where God dwelled among people physically in a building in the ancient old world in the old covenant was11:19 attacked by the enemy and a target of the enemy and destroyed because they didn't treat it right, And you're a temple, the new covenant temple, if you don't treat it11:30 right, the enemy is going to have his way with your body. Write this down. My temple is the target of the enemy. It's the target that he11:42 wants. He wants your body. He he wants you weak and ineffective. He wants your mind clogged up. He wants11:54 your arteries filled with plaque. He wants weakness in your physicality because nothing is more dangerous to the domain of12:06 darkness than a born again child of the most high God. Did you know you're dangerous? Did you know that you're dangerous to the devil? I gotta have12:18 somebody tell me that they know they're dangerous to the devil just by saying a good amen. He hates you. He's intimidated by you, and he would do whatever it takes to12:29 weaken you. Jesus said in John 10 10, the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. He wants to steal your health, He wants to kill your ambition, and12:41 he wants to destroy your life. Jesus comes to give us life abundantly. But it's time for us to get beyond thoughts and prayers. Whenever there is12:53 a school shooting or a mass shooting, a narrative breaks out in the political discourse, and people offer thoughts and prayers. But then the other side will say,13:05 enough thoughts and prayers. We need action. Okay. Here's what I like to say about your physical health. Enough thoughts and prayers. We need action. Some things13:17 you really need to not just pray about. I'm all for prayer. Pray about everything. But some things you need to do some things about so that it actually just operates according13:29 to the manufacturer specifications, and you're healthier as a result. So to that end, we go to the book of Daniel, and we're gonna back up in the text. Have your Bibles open if you don't have them open, but the13:41 verses will be on the screen because these are important principles for you and for me on how we can live righteous, strong, healthy, demon chasing lives in Jesus' name. Amen. Okay?13:52 Daniel is in exile. Daniel was carted off by Nebuchadnezzar's generals from his home in Jerusalem and14:04 watched behind his back as the temple burned, as his home was ravaged, as probably his parents were literally killed in front of him.14:16 Carded off, traveled 800 miles across the ancient world, arrived in Babylon, most likely was castrated, and then brought into the14:27 royal palace to serve as a member of the inner sanctum of Nebuchadnezzar's cabinet. Here's what it says in verse 3 of chapter14:39 1 in Daniel. Then the king commanded Asphonaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both royal family and nobility, used without blemish of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with14:50 knowledge, understanding, learning, and competent to stand in the king's palace and to teach them, somebody say teach them, the literature and the language of the Chaldeans. Now Daniel is being offered as15:02 horrible as the situation was for him to have lost his home, his family, his life, and his ability to reproduce, to be in a strange land and a foreigner, he's been actually given a place of privilege15:14 in the land of Babylon. So he's 1 of very few. He is the best and brightest of Israel, and now Babylon wants to turn him into a useful tool, a useful stooge in15:26 their arsenal. So verse 5, it says this, the king then assigned them a daily portion of the what? Food. The food that the king ate. How many know the president is eating better than you?15:38 Yeah? Did you see the plane he's getting? I mean, you could cook some ribs in that sucker. He eats better. Nebuchadnezzar ate the best of the best of the best.15:51 And Daniel is being offered the best of the best of the best, and he's offered the best of the wine. You know? This Merlot is from 7 86 BC. You know? I mean, this16:03 you know, we're gonna give you the most scrumptious Babylonian fare that you can imagine. And then notice this, next sentence. They were to be what? Educated for16:14 3 year. He's going to Babylon University. Young people, no student loans. Paid for by the16:26 government. And not just a ed world class education in the language and the style and the lifestyle of Babylonians. He's being given room and board. Not16:38 just tuition is covered, but room and board is covered. I mean, I'm thinking about sending my youngest to Babylon at this point. Come on somebody. And they were gonna be educated for 3 years, and then they were going to16:50 stand before the underline, stand before the king because this is not just they were gonna sit there and stand in front of him. They were going to be members of his cabinet. In other words, they had been17:02 given an opportunity of a lifetime to be to get free education, free room and board, and check this out young people,17:13 a guaranteed government position because there's nothing like a guaranteed government position. Once you get that job, it's almost like you never lose it until17:25 Elon Musk shows up and tells you you're out of a job. But nonetheless, that's that's what Daniel had. A golden opportunity. 6 and 7 tells us that it was with 3 other17:37 guys, very famous guys we all know, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego. And they all get names, different names. Daniel's name is Belshazzar. And Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are actually, ironically, not their original17:47 names. Those names are their Babylonian names. Now, look at the next verse. Verse 8. But Daniel resolved. This is what we read. But Daniel17:59 resolved, underline resolved, that he would not defile himself with the king's world food or with the wine that the king drank. Therefore, he asked the chief of the eunuchs not to allow him to defile himself. Now when18:09 the scripture repeats something, pay attention. Defile himself is stated how many times? Twice, which means this is a very important point. Daniel noticed the18:21 food was going to defile him. Interesting how this man made that decision. Because rehearsing what I just told18:33 you. Daniel has said yes to 3 things and no to 1. He said yes to renaming himself.18:45 I'll take the name Babylon wants to give me. He said yes to Babylon education. I'll take do you understand? The Babylonians studied probably18:57 witchcraft. They probably studied the occult. You understand this? Yeah. And and Daniel's like, I'll sit through the classes. I'll sit you know, this is like19:09 a conservative in Hollywood, or or I'm sorry, in Harvard. I'll sit through the classes and get my degree. And he actually did it. Said yes to the name change, yes to19:20 Babylonian, Babylonian you, and he said yes, think about this, to holding a high position in the cabinet of the empire19:32 that just killed his parents, castrated him, and wants to dominate the entire world. He said yes to all that,19:46 but no to the food. Now commentators are doing exactly what you're doing right now with19:58 this text. Why? Of all the things to say no to, why just the food? I mean, I wouldn't want to get educated in20:10 the occult and witchcraft from a pagan godless nation, would you? I I wouldn't want to work imagine China takes over America. Just it's not gonna happen. But imagine they did.20:22 I wouldn't wanna go and work for president Xi's inner sanctum. I'm proud to be an American. And taking me and and using my gifts to bless your nation. And I will almost20:33 hesitate to let people call me by a different name. But Daniel's okay with all those things. But he says no to the diet. And commentators really20:45 wrestle with this. And some of them will say this. And now, I've studied this, so I understand. There is a diet laid out for Israel in Leviticus chapter 11. It's a very long chapter. It outlines that there are20:57 certain animals they can't eat, certain animals they can't eat. They can't eat shellfish, they can't eat pork. Those are the big ones because everybody loves bacon and shrimp. And everybody especially loves bacon wrapped21:07 shrimp. Amen. So maybe he was paying attention to that part of the Torah, Leviticus 11, but he forgot the other parts. And then some of them say, yeah, but no, in the21:19 ancient world, it was probable that the food in the Babylonian king's table was offered to idols, and so Daniel knew that to eat that food would to be participating in21:31 the worship structure of ancient Babylon, and thereby ingest physically and participate in their worship practices spiritually. And then some commentators say, no, really the reason was21:43 because in the ancient world, covenantal agreements of loyalty, when people wanted to make a covenant, an agreement to to bless or cooperate together, you would sit down and you would eat a shared meal21:54 like Abraham does with the angels back in Genesis and David does with Mephibosheth and a bunch and Jesus does with the disciples the last supper. So that was a a position of some22:05 commentary. And they come up with all of these postulations. Why just the food? Here's what I wanna say. The bible does not tell us specifically22:17 why. Doesn't give us an answer. And if you're gonna read the bible seriously, you're gonna have to get used to sometimes the bible doesn't give you the answer that you want. Sometimes the bible's gonna leave some things22:27 up in the air for you to interpret. But here's what I thought about. After Daniel avoids the diet of Babylon, the scripture tells us in the last22:39 verse of Daniel chapter 1, check this out. Daniel chapter 1 verse 21. And Daniel was there until the first year of king22:51 Cyrus. What that text is telling us is it's fast forwarding to the end of the story before we hear what actually happened in Babylon. And what this23:03 king Cyrus is? It's not king is not the king of Babylon, he's the king of the Persian empire. And Daniel was there until he got there. Just for23:14 reference, I wanna show you a timeline of the emperors from Nebuchadnezzar in 6 0 5 BC. He after him in Babylon reigned Amel Marduk. After him, a23:26 guy named I'm not gonna pronounce it. After him, another guy named I'm not gonna pronounce it. And then the Medo Persian empire takes over. Darius the Mede conquers Babylon. And then23:38 after him, Cyrus the Great conquers Darius the Mede, and you have the Persian empire. And that chart and Daniel's life lasted 6623:49 years. And listen to this. This is the best part. He outlasted 6 world dominating empires or emperors and stayed the course faithfully for God24:01 no matter who was in charge of the world. That's called supernatural staying power. And I think God wants to give that to24:13 you. Write this down so I know we're getting it. What I eat will determine where I end up. What I eat. It started24:25 with diet. Daniel just said, I want your food. But listen to me, and this is so important for us as Americans. It's a fight. It's a24:37 battle. We live I hate to say this. Some of you aren't gonna like me saying this. We live in modern day Babylon. This is the world's superpower,24:48 America. We do get to enjoy rich, savory food. Has anybody been to 5 Guys lately? Now is not the time to say amen.25:01 We have unlimited options that the ancient world people, if they could ever be resurrected to get a glimpse of our checkout line25:13 at the supermarket, They just stay there. They wouldn't even realize how much food is behind the checkout line. You mean that this is what they offer you after you've25:25 loaded your cart, you get all this stuff on top of it? You mean to tell me you can go to a house where there's a big golden arches in front, circle the building, not even go25:36 inside, hand them your phone, and you get all kinds of food handed to you in a bag in 60 seconds? Are you kidding me?25:48 We live in times unprecedented, in a nation unprecedented. And here's what I'm asking you to do. I want you to embrace a Daniel mindset so that you last longer26:00 than the devil expects you to. So that you fight for your family, your children. Listen to me. Your grandchildren. How many wanna be able to pick up their26:12 grandchildren? Amen. And then drop them off, amen. Always a key qualifier to that. Great grandchildren. How how many of you wanna be at the top of your game when you're26:24 older? I don't wanna be. I watched my grandfather, the later years of his ministry, barely being able to get on stage. And my earliest memories of26:36 him were going to visit him in the hospital because he had another bypass surgery. And I just made it a commitment in my life and I've not been26:48 perfect and I'm still getting better. And this is a process, friends. This is a process of fighting for your staying power in life.27:00 3 points and then we're done. Number 1, write this down. We gotta fight to keep Babylon out of our body. Because modern day Babylon is still here. Daniel fought. He27:12 pressed through. He said Babylon might have me inside of it, but I will not have Babylon inside of me.27:24 Whoo. That's good preaching pastor. America might have you inside of it, but America does not have to be inside of you. Daniel resolved, I'm not putting that stuff27:36 in me. Look at it again in verse 8. It's gonna defile me. Underline. Defile. Defile. And the word resolve here means to set in the heart. To set in the heart. I'm going to make this decision before the decision presents27:47 itself to me. That's what resolve is. Resolve is pre commitment. So I'm going to make a decision today before I get to the point where I have to make the decision. And I can't tell you how important it is27:59 to have a a resolve in your spirit against the Babylonian diet of America. Write this down because here's the deal, the world still has a28:11 demonic diet. The world still has a demonic diet.28:25 This is the diet of Babylon. They are called ultra processed foods. This is a term that was28:37 coined by a Brazilian nutritionist named Carlos Monteiro. Any Brazilians in the house? You're usually much louder. I'm sure my Brazilians in other locations are shouting28:49 at me right now. Yes. Carlos Montero, back in the 19 eighties and nineties, realized that the processing plants of America's food29:01 offerings was becoming corporate and corrupt. Now here's the deal. All food is processed.29:13 The moment you take a head of lettuce and put it under the faucet and wash it, you are processing food. But that's called minimally processed food. There's29:24 also just processed food, which we can be thankful for. Jarring and pickling, which enables us to alleviate a lot of world hunger. Processed food. So we jar, we pickle, we store it. It's able to last a29:36 lot longer than it would have normally. Even if it's less than enviably fresh food and all that, but it still helps. But now Carlos Monteiro found out that there's something called ultra processed food. This is29:48 all the big to do amount today. By the way, just so you know, since 20 20, since the COVID pandemic, the amount of scientific study and university level research into ultra processed food has29:59 tripled in the last 5 years because everybody sees there's a problem. Everybody sees it. And so now they're trying to figure out how do we fix it. So they're putting tons of money30:11 into all kinds of research, and I've done a little bit of myself, and and I'm going to quote some research for you. The problem with this food is that it is everywhere. Somebody say everywhere. Processed ultra30:23 processed foods make up 73 percent of the US food supply. 73 percent. They account for 60 percent of the average30:35 American's daily intake. 60 percent of your food comes from ultra processed food. Now let me define ultra processed food for you for a second. This is heavily altered food using30:47 additives like artificial flavors, preservatives, sweeteners, colorings often found in packaged snacks, sugary cereals, fast food, and soft drinks designed for convenience and30:58 addiction with minimal nutrition. I want you to think about that. Convenience and addiction and minimal nutrition. Americans spend31:09 1500000000000.0 dollars a year on eating this garbage. U UPFs, let me just call them that from this point forward, are cheaper.31:23 They are cost effective, but they actually cost you more because they are engineered to spike your,31:34 receptors in your brain for the dopamine hormone. This this stuff spikes your dopamine so that you immediately feel pleasure when you eat it,31:49 But like anything else with dopamine spikes, there is a what? Crash shortly afterwards so that you end up feeling worse than you did when you32:01 first started eating it. So your brain tells you, I need another hit. What I'm trying to tell you is these are not32:13 food items. This is manufactured street legal drug. And it is asking you to eat it, begging you to eat it, and32:25 destroy yourself. And I would be ticked just at that. If I was you right now, I'd say, thank you pastor. I've heard32:36 enough. I'm ready to do better. But I'm not done. Because while Carlos Monteiro was discovering the quality of UPFs and how bad they were for us, Coca Cola32:49 and other big companies, check this out, were funding scientific research over the last 30 to 40 years to keep33:00 your eyes on anything other than their food offerings for your health. They were paying scientists. I got an article. Here's the article title from33:12 the New York Times 2015. Coca Cola funds scientists who shift blame for obesity away from bad diets. Coca Cola, the world's largest producer of sugary beverages, is back backing33:24 a new science based solution to the obesity crisis to maintain a healthy weight, get more exercise, and worry less about what you eat. So just so you know, those Coke lovers, Coke33:35 funded science to get this stuff in you. Not just them. An organization called the Sugar Research Foundation. Again, New York Times 2016,33:48 paid Harvard scientists in the 19 sixties to publish 19 67 New England Journal of Medicine reviews that downplayed sugar's33:59 role in heart disease and shifted blame to saturated fat. A New England Journal of Medicine article was funded34:11 by Big Sugar and got published in 1 of the most esteemed medical journals in the world to tell you that sugar wasn't that bad. PepsiCo34:23 gave Yale University a 500000 dollar grant in 2018 to suggest that snacks like Doritos aren't inherently harmful in moderation despite34:34 their high sodium and addictive impact on the diet. This is why you can't trust the science because someone with big pockets is34:46 paying for the science. Now if I was you again, I would say, thank you pastor. I'm set. I'm leaving now, and I'm gonna eat better. But I'm not34:58 done. Because the most stunning fact that I found was that the world's food offerings, everything on this cart,35:10 everything on this cart, do you understand, is the product, put this next picture up, guys, of 10 food companies. 10 food35:22 companies, Nestle, PepsiCo, General Mills, Kellogg's, Associated British Foods, Mondelez, Mars, Dannon, Unilever, and Coca Cola. 10 companies provide all the35:33 UPFs in our country. That means that 10 massive corporations are able to do a few things to confuse the language35:45 of our food and our diet. They can pay for politicians. Hello? They can pay for advertising. They35:57 can pay for scientific discovery. They can pay for misinformation. And when they fail us, they can pay to cover their tracks. I don't know about36:08 you, but it really ticks me off to think that 10 companies in the world are in charge of what we think about food.36:21 Now if I was you, I would say, thank you pastor. I'm all set. I'm good. I'm gonna start eating better, but I'm not done. Here's the results of ultra processed food.
