1:18 Oh sorry, I just get lost. I get lost in the music. Jesus Allelujah. I was like, we're just gone, you just be gone. I tell you, God is. So awesome and you just get lost. In the music and it's just so beautiful. Well, good evening, good evening, good evening. And you know what I have to say, Welcome one and all to another another opportunity of fabulous dialogue, conversation, enlightenment, enrichment. You know, I mean, hey, you're at the right place at the right time. Let's get hey, tre Tray, how are you today? Okay? Hear you? Wait? You saying now? Oh okay, Well you that first part goes out there, but that's okay, that's okay, We're going to take it to the throne room.

2:03 Lord. We just thank you today. We thank you so so much. You are just so wonderful. You're so beautiful, you're so mindful, you're so caring and protective and corrective, and you're just one of a kind God. And thank you for waiting on us. Thank you for setting us aside and protecting us when we didn't even know we needed to be protected. Thank you for guiding us because when we many times over the years, we didn't know which way to go and who to trust, and what to start, what to stop, what the lead, what to finish, what to begin?

2:43 But you waited so patiently, You waited so patiently, and. You continue to wait on some of us so patiently, with your arms open wide saying I'm right here and I accept you as is now. Lord, tonight, this is your this is your podcast, this is your comsation piece. This is your opportunity to speak to your people, known and unknown, people who don't even know that they're chosen, people who may not even know that they've been called. We just thank you so much. We get behind the cross. Now, as we lean in and listen intentively, we thank you, Father God, because we will be a part of you setting your captors free tonight. All this and more we ask in Jesus's name, Amen, and amen and amen. Well good even guys. Oh, God is just he starts putting things together. When he starts to reveal things to you, you just sit there.

3:39 In amazement, like, this is what this has all been about? This? Hey, how's everyone doing? Hey, Nicky, you know, he just it's just a wonderment. I just many times throughout this week, I'll just be sitting there like He'll reveal something, and I'm like, you knew all along that that was there. There was an answer to a question question, It was an answer to a thought, and it was already there. Who wouldn't serve a god like this? Who wouldn't In. Other aspect of our life, we wait for somebody else to come up with the decision. We wait for somebody to vote. We wait for somebody to put the decision out there, put it out there on the ballot. We wait for somebody to sign it into law. We wait on everything, but God, who created all of this, waits so patiently for us, especially his chosen. And I'm learning because I named the scripture with a friend of mine. Today, I recited a scripture and David. Uncle David says, when he asked God to remove his enemies names out of the Lamb Book of Life, a light bulb went off. The Lamb Book of Life, that's God's book, that's Heaven's book.

4:47 Has everybody who's ever. Been born name in it. Everybody's been called, everybody who's ever been called has a name, and it's in the Lamb's Book of Life. But it's up to that individual to choose God. Not everybody's chosen, though, but everybody's name goes in the book. And for Uncle David to say, all my enemies, my enemies alone, just my enemies, Lord, remove their name. Out of your book. And once a year between Rasa Shada and the Jewish the top three Jewish high holy days Young Kapoor, the Holy Book is open and God is checking the list and checking it twice, crossing out names. You don't want to serve him, then that's your choice, but you don't know what you're missing. And I sit there and I'm like God, it must be hard to have all of these children, and for them to turn and not accept you, to be rejected. God, I can only imagine how that feels.

5:51 I can only imagine. But he is so wonderful, he is so precious, and you just got to keep thanking him. If you don't even think it, just think it. For waking up the other night, I wasn't feeling good and I was like, Lord, I don't know if I'm gonna see you in the next twenty four hours or if I'm going to be able to see another day, but I want to say I thank you for everything. I love you. Everything is set, people will know what to do. If not, they can make it up. And I didn't worry about it, didn't worry. And when I woke up and I see the sun beaming and realize it was another day. I made it through the night, no pain, I didn't have to get up, I wasn't awaken and I had no dreams that night, no dreams, So I had to go to that third realm.

6:36 Of sleep and been going strong ever since. And not the people I know. There are people who really don't want to live anymore. They don't, they don't they can't handle what's going on. They can't handle what they're seeing. They can't handle what they're going through the loss. I was at public today and a lady was talking to one of the folks in the meet department and he's like, how and the staff was asking, how are you doing. She goes, well, you know, it is what it is. I miss her. I miss her, but I had to get out. I had to come to the grocery store today and I'm standing there waiting for the other person to, you know, to cut up my meat and get my meat packaged. And I'm just standing there and all I could do was hold the space for her.

7:16 Hey, I made it, yay, sure, yes, amen, amen, keep checking in, keep rolling, keep rolling in it. And I just all I could do is stand there, and I have my mask on. But I when the salesperson, the lady he was talking to customer her back to me. But when she realized I was just standing there and put my head down, giving respect, giving her space, I'm nodding my head and she looked back and she's. Like, I made it. I'm here. I have to keep going on and I'm gonna miss her. She said it twice, and all I could do was just and even the meat person was, you know, as she was she was watching me walk.

7:56 You know, just be there, Just be there. That's what the needs now. We need to hold space for each other. We need to respect one another. You can love me in the shadows. You don't have to tell me you love me and respace. I don't need I just need you your space. Your non verbal queue will go a long way. And everybody that in the publics, I'm just people, just smiling customers. I went down the aisle and it was the wrong aisle, and the lady said, oh, you got that. I saw you got that fish. She goes, you know, I went to this and this, but you know there's a meat store over on this certain street. And I said really, I mean I if you. Walked down you thought we knew each other. That's how she was talking to me. And I was like, thank you.

8:40 You know what, I'm so glad I made a wrong turn on purpose. She said, well, you have a good day, and I said, mother, you have a great day. You have a great day. Well we need is a smile. She gave me a fish spot. I didn't even know it was a meat store. And later on we're in the produce area. She goes, do you take care now? I said, you do the same. And then this other was like, oh, I thought you were talking to me, and we were like, well you too, he said, thank you. I mean it just happened. It was infectious, just like that, just like go ahead, go ahead, tray. I'll just say, you'd be surprised what you do with a simple greeting. It opens up a lot of commons. Some people are just waiting for somebody to say something, especially those people that have no one to talk to in the home.

9:25 You know, if you live alone, or if you know you just don't have the resource. You'd be surprised what a simple greeting could do for someone. And it was infectious. Man, And they never see these people again. But it didn't matter because because for that moment, we held each other, we respected each other, we honored each other just by making One time I was in the store and I kept running into the same guy. Said, you know, we got to stop meeting like this. He said, yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It's it ended up and I was ended up in lining behind him. Not on purpose. That's what we need right now.

10:06 Only I only knew of that customer's lost because she was talking to an employee who's they're familiar with her and then familiar with. The loved one. That's what I'm talking. That's what I'm talking. This is the grocery store, you know, and it's just and there was a lady behind me in the line, and the cashier says, now are you doing today? I said, well, I really. Only came here for two things, and I kind of forgot what too they were because I had a half of that. They had bogos, but I wudn't get ones, and I'm like, oh, I can use that. I know I don't need that, but I could use that, you. Know, and everybody laughed. A lady behind me laughed, and it took the adge off because she could see I'm taking my time putting my stuff on the conveyor belt.

10:46 You know. It took that ad off because I could feel, you know, I could feel something. Like, oh God, why did That's the only one I can get behind because. They only had two full you know, full open lanes, full service lanes open, and they had the little. Self checkout there. So anyway, I did thank you all for letting me share that, and it's funny. We're gonna talk about food today. We're gonna continue our conversation about food and entitled this from food Glorious Food, and of course it reminded me of seventh grade, I want to say, or eighth grade performing and we were doing Oliver Twist show and I was a milk maid and my mother was a housemaid, so I didn't have to go. Far and get my clothes, okay, hey, and I would have a churn.

11:29 I had a bucket and I came out of the audience any milk today mistress to spools for up any and I had to come a cappella singing that out of the audience and scared the audience after death because it's dark in there and everything, and then the scroblight picks me up. So of course it took back. That took me back to that memory because food glorious food, hot chocolate and sausage. While we're in the mood, yeah, I can go. I know if mss Cave was here, she said, Mom, what are you doing? But trust me, I used to be able to sing. They trusted me. But you know, talking about food and reminiscing having a good memory attached to that. And it's so odd that I found just in my studies that there's such thing as a World Food Safety Day, which is Sunday the seventh.

12:19 It's going to be Sunday to seventh, and it's. Made up by the World Health Organization, and they say food safety is a shared responsibility between governments, producers and consumers. Everybody has a role to play from farm to table. Oh, thank you, missy, because to be sure touching, thank you, thank you, to okay, I talk with people, to the store, tune yes and station. You can't help it, you know, and especially if you go down the wrong aisle too, you know. So, and everybody has a role to play from farm to table to ensure the food we consume is safe and will not cause harm or damages to our health. To the World Food Safety Day, the whole the World Health Organization pursues its efforts to mainstream food safety and the public agenda and reduce the burden of food born diseases globally globally, And they say that basically this year, their their theme is from burden to solutions, food safe Everywhere. Well, we know that that only goes so far, unfortunately, because you know, not made you. You're constantly recalling foods. I don't know what you're doing there.

13:28 You know, we're constantly hearing crazy stories about employees who are not happy and you know, doing things that I don't want to gross anybody out, but you know, it's just it's a sad day when we supposed to trust you, and you've got organizations out there that we're supposed to trust. And and and and that they will have. Our you know, our our well being, you know, and to their hearts, and we have to you don't trust that. But I want to go back, circle back, as promised last week. We want to talk about some scripture, and we want to identify some scriptures and see how God views food. But I found several subcategories and check this out, and then I'm not going to go in order when I share some of the scriptures. But what I found was, especially in the Old Testament, daily substance, food is used, looked.

14:18 Upon, and was actually throughout the whole Bible. I'm sorry about that. Old and New Testament. Daily substances substance. A gift from God, something for you to enjoy and have as you fellowship with God. Okay, mindful, mindful. So you know these new agers who think that they've come up with some new words mindfulness in the word it's already been described in the word eating in moderation, giving God glory for the substance good with thanksgiving, trusting God, and needing physical needs rather than worrying that food is supposed to fill us. Uh, give us what we need, whether it's energy strengths or just you just want to go to your favorite restaurant on your birthday and and have your favorite meal, or you have your favorite relative cook your favorite pie or whatever that is.

15:14 But this is what this is what food is intended for. So I'm want to go through before I start on scriptures traded, you want to add anything. I know you mentioned I was researching something when you were talking about the World Health Organization and h so that's the World Health Organization of which the US is no longer a part of. And so uh yeah, and so just too because I. Thought so that we remember that. So I just encourage. People to google or research that because I don't want to be sound like we're biased or anything like that.

15:57 So research world organ or organized health, what it what it? What it is? Or what it what it is and to see if the USA is a part of that. Yeah, it was because of false and those you know with COVID. It all came out of COVID. And then your current president already had removed US from the United States from the table. He walked out of that one of their meetings over a year ago under his campaign. You're correct, You're correct. So, and it's it's interesting that these folks, they have their agendas out there. I mean, it goes it's several years. You can see it, you know when it when you google.

16:38 World Health Safety World Food Safety Day, and you'll see the last few years they've been doing this and had their themes and stuff like that. But you're absolutely right, it's because of COVID that the President removed the United States from the table and from the discussion. Now, I don't know who and who is. It the Health Department for US now for the United States that we look to for health issues and food and. I don't what I'm looking at is says all US funding personnel and contractors associated with the who. Have been withdrawn. And so this is where people, this is where we really need to be mindful of research and when I'm saying rich is not necessarily in depth. But try to go to reliable sources, not just something that tilts one way.

17:29 Or the other. You can google it, don't depend on Facebook to get your news, don't depend on one news resource over the other. Per se, look and see. But you have to be mindful because this affects present and future health issues. Now with the foods, we're talking about what that might mean for processes. To make sure that the foods that you're consuming are healthy, I mean, you know, are safe the the things related to illnesses or disease. You really have to be mindful of that and think about what is important to you and your family. That also, something that affects other people that you think don't affect you can eventually affect you.

18:17 And so you have to be mindful, especially now that we're coming up on midterms, be mindful of who would have your best interests at heart and what they are supporting and so this like this is this is not telling you who to vote for, never would do that. All we're encouraging or I am encouraging to do is do your research so you will understand the persons that you want to vote for. What they stand. For or what to towards they lean, especially when it's pertaining to help. Okay, and you're talking about processes where things have. To be screamed or not screened and stuff like that or washed all but pesticides, all of these things with not that you consume affects your health, because it can affects medically.

19:05 It can affect your health. And so just just want to just kind of put that out there so you know, because we keep it well, set it straight, and don't take our work. Please just look into this stuff. Amen. And that's a great segue to scripture because it's not so it's not about who. What does fellowship mean exactly? Fellowship means to gather, to get to come together and in the business sense, networking. But food is involved usually you know, comfort food, conversation, gentle conversation, you know things like that, Why did you ask that question in a stage? I'm curious whered you see fellowship at well?

19:48 When you get that that, that's fine, but I was curious about that. I'm curious about that. In Psalms one fifteen, verses fifteen through sixteen, the eyes of all weigh upon THEE, and thou givest them their meat in due season, opens our hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. So it's a gift from God, and it's daily subsidence. It's daily substance. And you need to check these stores, you know, you need to check and see who's doing what. Who's your favorite store. I think by now we can just remove. You mentioned the word in a sentence earlier in the discussion. Okay, yeah, your fellowship, Okay, got you, thank you you.

20:28 You know, we all have our different grocery stores. They're not all over the world, and you know, they're not all in all the states and things like that. But go to where you feel comfortable. Like a customer told me, oh, you want a meat store, go over there. They've got fresh fish. I'm like, oh, okay. In a city that forty five minutes away from us, there's a real fishermen that actually are part of the flea market, and they have fresh all fresh seafood. So my daughter has time, we're gonna we run over there. And it's like from ten to two or ten to one, they only open the whole flea market. I've never known that normally flea markets are open from seven in the morning until. But now that has really changed. But yeah, just getting that fresh seafood and I love it, and you know because like you know, anyway, let me keep going here.

21:14 But yeah, thank you. Tree for that. That's awesome, That is very awesome. To keep that in mind. Deuteronomy chapter eight and ten, verse ten. See when thou. Hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord, thy God for the good land with which he hath given thee. So we got to keep our farmers in prayer. People, their families, three and four generations of farmers out there that are still trying to keep the businesses going. And they've taken some major hits, not only with the pesticides, not only with the failure of the government giving them the grant monies and things like that so they can buy seeds and keep their equipment, their machines up to date.

21:59 But also it's the weather. The weather was just is I mean, we've had some you. Know, negative red temperatures and they're saying, please don't start fires here because they're gonna burn, you know. So let's keep our farmers in mind as well, because that's really where the stores get the food from. You know, that's where they get the thing our food from. So we got to keep that in mind. But I'm gonna go on. I'm looking at time here, mindful of eating. Eating moderation. You know, we don't have to be a glutton, don't overeat. You don't have to have three spool, you know, three platefuls of stuff. Listen to your body. Your body will let you know I'm getting full. We have no more room you're gonna And I know people make a joke about, you know, taking loose in their pants, the pant buckle and and you know the belt buckling and your and your button on your pants. What I mean, that's cute and all, but uh, that should be telling you something you're overeating.

22:57 I remember when I was in high school. I loved it. But we had the French fries, the crickle cook French fries, but that was you know, basic grease. That was real grease as they fried it in. And the cheeseburgers and everything else. I mean I could I can. Imagine the trucks pulling up to the school and unloading the meats for the you know, and then we went to the can goods, the big old cans of vegetables and stuff like that instead of them allowing them to cook it fresh in the cafeteria. I remember those days, and we didn't think it was nothing. Or I gotta get my cheeseburger and fries, and everybody be trying to grab the fresh fries and the cheeseburg all the hot dog, you know, we didn't want. And now schools that, you know, they've got fruit on the plate. Now they've got vegetables on the plate now, you know.

23:40 And people now that do non gluten, the non you know, nut bearing people and all this kind of stuff. It's just really has just I don't even know how to describe it, but it's the needs of the world, and it's someone along the way we started having peanut allergies and you know, all allergies and all these allergies and people breaking out and stuff, and it's like that's nothing new under the sun. But all of a sudden, my health is being affected. All of a sudden. In my age, the cartilage in my knee has evaporated. Whereas people who are older to me they still got cartilage fluid in their kneed. What happened. I'm not a smoker. I'm not a drinker a drink Pepsi's so I don't know if the pepsis is a dry drink.

24:22 I'm not an orange juice. I'm not a great fruit person that was a dry drinks. I don't know. I'm getting an old Charles. I'm so sorry, but what is fast? Right now? I know somebody what person is, but fast? I'm sorry, but just to answer our little younger audience's questions about food, and I know sometimes parents can't help it, but run through McDonald's real quick, because the drive through has been their life savior. For any parent out there, I don't know. I don't know personally any parent that has never gone through a drive through. I don't know one. You just it's just as quick as fast. Hopefully you could catch it before it stays hot.

25:03 Now that now here comes door dash, here comes ober each Now now we got place, you know, the restaurants now they have their own delivery services trying to get the food to us. You know, I mean, we we've. Evolved because we are technically in the technology age now. We look at it to But. I'm so sorry. Now if you can't wait till we're blaming me show. Every people were were pizza places. But I remember one time when in in my area KFC was delivering. They had stopped the KFC. But all of this stuff evolved, most of it in COVID because people weren't going in fining in. And now some people were shocked this is working.

25:54 I still I won't have to go in and dine in, you know, to go get the food. That's it's you know. Some people say, well, if I've got to go up, that might as. Well sit in there and eat. But if I don't have to do either, just bring it in. Because people their days are are busy, and you know, it takes energy and effort to go in a restaurant and sit down and eat, you know, especially if you are family. It takes it. It takes all I can do for me to go. Into a restaurant. I really don't after the day. Sometimes I just don't feel like being around enclosed places because I've been enclosed all day, you. Know, So a restaurant is another place that just kind of closes you in. But but that's me, you know, every now and then I'll do it, you know, especially if you're fellowship with family, friends or coworkers or something like that. But a lot of people have gotten away from eating in you know, it's then there's stuff coming back around.

26:48 Now you've got a opening. Whatever's of whatever that new virus is. It starts with age that they are afraid to go. Yeah, and you know he said, some folks don't cover their mouths when they call. It's unfortunate, say coughing and not covered. And you're not covering, Hey. You're supposed to really coughing the sleeve of your arm, because remember if you're coughing in your hand, off your hands touch other people. Typically the infold does not you know what I'm saying. Right, Yeah, it's a lot out there, and I think that's it's more convenient and it's more relaxing.

27:31 It is. It is, it is, And you need to take care of yourself as part of your self care. You know, stop and go in the restaurant. I know you only have some of you only have thirty minutes for lunch. Well, you need to bring your lunch. You need to make your lunch and go to just go outside to the park and just eat, get out of the air condition. The air condition dries up, you know, and stuff you know, so go and treat yourself. I've shared the story with you. I was going to McDonald's. I was going through the drive through, and that particular day I made up my mind. I had I saw a client and the McDonald's is right next door to was up next door to my office building. I said, I'm gonna get me something to eat. And I went in and I parked and I came in and the manager said, okay, all right, fellows, come on now, because I got drive through coming in the lobby.

28:16 I said no, no, no, no, no, I did this on purpose. I want to I want to be seated. He said, oh, the whole restaurant. I mean the whole fell out, laughing. I said no, no, no, sir, no, no, don't don't punish it because of me. It was my decision to come inside. But he knows me going through the drive through. And then he's, you. Know, kidding. After the staff said oh, I got driven through coming into lobby, and I'm like, no, sir, no, I did this on purpose. I just He said, well, mama, mama, and you go ahead to sit down. We'll bring your food to you. I said, no, you don't have you don't have to do that because you got all these people looking at you sideway and then then looking at me. He said, we got you, we'll sell. And it was nice to just sit and take that minute. I wasn't in a hurry.

28:57 I didn't have any places that I already saw the client. I didn't get to pick up the kids. So later on in the afternoon, and this is like, you know, eleven o'clock. So even now, you know, today, as I was, I was like, okay, I got to go to Public's, so you know what, I'm gonna get something to eat while I'm out. Even the weather was you know, the clouds were out and everything. And I went to Tijuana Flats. It's just you know, it's a taco place, you know, I mean, you know, and and I sat and the girl was so you know, the server was so nice and everything. And she brought my food over. And they they bring your food to you if you stay in in, you know, if you eat in, dine in. And I watched other people and they were, I mean a group of people, older people came and but they was so something was mad. Something somebody got mad. And so that I saw all the conversation you could hear. So I got my little stand where I could put my put my cell phone because I figured I was going to look on something on.

29:46 YouTube or Facebook and stuff. So I just you know, but I took my time, and I knew the rain was gonna catch me. And sure enough i'm finishing up, it poured, I said, right there. So I told the young lady, I said, you gonna be stuck with me for a minute. She goes, You're fine, and I said, thank you, and it kept checking on me. You need anything, No, I'm good, Thank you. You know what's the name of this place, Hell Water Flats. So there you have it already. I'll just check them out. Because the reason I say that when you good customer service, people need to know where to get good customer service. You know, sometimes you pay extra to go to places to get that extra spy smile because you know, there's some places that you go and and it's very popular places and they're always uppy and bubbly, and I don't know we can advertise it on the on the show like that or not, but just to say it costs a little more, but to always consistently get that pleasantry.

30:46 You will go back. You will go back so. And just and just saying that, especially with people struggling. And I'm not I don't know anything about that that place that you were talking about, but I heard a few things that they were accommodating, that they were pleasant and they recognize, you know, that the need. And so anytime you have. Places like that, I'm just just saying that little shout out, yeah, and I just crash. And the spaces Yeah, and the space is not on top of each other. You've got booths, you got tables, and it's got you got great space in between. That's another thing too. I go to some other restaurant that you stacked on top of each other, you know, and it's like, oh my god.

31:29 I can't help but be in your conversation. You're right there, and you talk a real lot. You know, I can't help but hear what you're saying. You can't help to. Hear what I'm saying. So, you know, you like that prophecy and things like that. But let's go to some more scripture. Here we look at First Corinthians, chapter ten, verse thirty one. Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do it all to the glory of God, all to his glory. That's why I would say, please pray before you eat. I've already told you a story about the time that the tuna fish sub from souls back home. You know, she the person who picked at us and laughed at me because I prayed over my food. She got hair in hers. I didn't get hair in mind, and she wouldn't have known it. She just see, you know, she's yelling at me.

32:11 I'm just I've had my head down, said my grace, getting ready to eat, eat my food, and everything ain't nothing in there for me. I have my little laized potato chips because you can't, okay, little sidebar, you can't have a sandwich without chips. Are we doing that? It's not the American way. It's not the American way. Don't be having subs at the picnic and you you have no potato chips. You don't do that, okay, thank you. You get some seaweed chips. They got seaweed chips. You know you gotta have something, but don't you do that's a this service. You can have water. You don't need the red kool aid. That's fine. You don't need solas, but you can. You cannot serve subs without some chips. There we go anyway, Yeah, you heard it from me, that's yeah. But yeah, she got Suzanne.

32:57 Susan got the hair and the food. Don't eat your food. Don't eat this hairy and that's the noise hair in yours. I kept eating mine. She starved that day. Great. Yes, hello, oh is this such thing as seaweed cheap chips? And you were just playing no it is? Oh wow where? Oh well, we had a health food store here called Sprouts. It's the newest store on Yeah, it's the newest store on the block. And I'm pretty you're pretty sure you know your publics will have them eventually, but yeah, they have. It's called the seaweed chips and you can get a karaokey flavor, different types of flavor. They got a little salt on it, but the sea salt.

33:37 It's really nice. I like the crunch and it just makes you, you know, you feel healthier eating them. But yeah, and they're pretty good. Okay, I'll try as I've tried seaweed and yeah, yeah, or and it's not bad okay, And so yeah, so that's what I'm saying. Are you seriously, I said, I need to try because a lot, you know, because of the salt. You know. Not I'm not a real salt either. Sometimes I it's got that craving for salt and now a tip, I think I might try to see you. Yeah, it's really execting, little little container thing. It's really cute and stuff like that. But yeah, and you know what we don't need to talk about, you know, the prices of stuff. Okay, guys, because we're there, we're here. Well, gas was down today, speaking of because I've been saying I need to gas go below four dollars, and it was even though it was three ninety nine, it was below four dollars.

34:32 To my surprise that I had to go get changed back. Because I was like feeling up the rest of my tank and I'm like, oh, okay, so it's happening. Prayer changes things. I cannot say this too much, too little, too late. Prayer change is a thing. It doesn't matter about your feelings, it doesn't matter about your thoughts or your commentary. You say a prayer on something and you meet it with everything and your being, trust me, there would be change. The change could be you. The change could be the situation. But prayer changes a thing. There's no way you will never catch me not praying, never, not never not. Okay, Here we go the Book of Acts, chapter two, verse forty six. Here we go, and they continually daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house.

35:20 They eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart. Food is comfort. That's why some people are overweight. It's comforting to us. It makes you feel good, you know. But pray, pray over every meal. Even when I put a mint. In my mouth, Lord, I thank you Jesus, and you know, bless his food. In the name of Jesus. We pray Amen. Something simple. I was volunteering at the Twins Middle school one time, and I volunteered the lunch at time, and I just did my heart glad that they got their food and everything. And they sat down and the students, their little classmates were trying to talk, but they hit the hit down. And one time one some of the younger ones are asking, how long do you you have to pray? Oh, just a quick prayer over food. If you're talking about old food.

36:04 You know, God's grace, God is good. Let us thank him. For this food in Jesus name. We pray a man. I always put Jesus name in there in the prayer. Just something simple. God, bless this food, you know, thank you for this food, thank you for the cook, thank you for the subsistence, thank you for the sacrifice. Whatever is on your heart. You know. But we just said it's just something quick. And I don't care if I'm in the car, I don't care where we are. We're gonna pray over that because I don't know what mindset the preparing person was in. I don't know if the food. You're buying food through the drive through or you're going in the restaurant. You don't know how long that meat, that food is set. So no, I've got to pray over this and I gotta give him thanks. But you overeating?

36:45 You got to check yourself so you won't be checked. Are you over eating? Are you eating because it's in there? And fasting, Now, I understand there's a respect for the intimate intermitting fasting. That's fine if you want to do. But I'm talking about fast and when we mentioned when I mentioned fasting, I'm talking you tune over the plate. You don't eat for that whether you don't eat breakfast, you don't eat lunch, you don't eat the whole day. You eat it lunch at dinner time, whatever that is. And be very careful if you're doing three, you know, ten day fast, five day fast, thirty day fast. Don't go rushing for the hamhocks and black eyed peas as you're coming off your fast, because you go get yourself. You're gonna be in a hurt. You're gonna be in a hurt, and you'll be in the bathroom, okay, because your body said, look, we went for twenty nine days, ain't eating nothing, drinking water and hing up the hamhoks and the.

37:31 Black eyed piece. What is raw? We can't hold it. You're gonna hold it. You're gonna go to the bathroom. It's coming out one way or the other. So you gently come off. When you've had a long fast like that, you gently come on. You have some soup, you may you know. I wouldn't even do raw vegetables yet unless you were eating throughout it was a vegetable fast or whatever, you know, But be very careful coming off the fast what you eat. They don't be sitting there drinking a half a bottle of what you of your favorite? You know, vibation, don't don't do that libration, You're not vibration. Excuse me, Jesus, Sorry life, Sorry, sorry, it's still G.

38:11 It's still G. You ain't got to worry about me. You know it tickles me. You know, people don't want to go out the electric because they don't want me to see that you drink. I don't care what you do. I don't care what you're doing. Are you paying for the meal? That's all I want to know. Who paying? If you got to get something to drink, that's on you. You pay for that. Okay, But I don't see how some you know, don't kids they drink in front of their parents, and so I don't know how you can do that. That's it's weird, especially if you weren't raised that way. But anyway, that's that's neither here nor there, Okay. So I hope I answered our little ones, our young ones questions about food. You can eat food as long as you prepare it properly. If you've got to boil it for thirty you know, thirty hours you need to If it's raw game, you have to boil that boil that meat. You know, you got to clean it to the best of your ability.

39:01 I think you put meat ten riser on it, vinegar on it, lemon juice on it, whatever, and then you got to boil that thing. So you don't go out there and clear, you know, shoot a deer and think, okay, we donna skint it now, we just put it on the grill. You don't do that. You don't do that. That's that's wild game out there. You don't know what that deer or that antelope was eating out there. You gotta be careful about that, okay, But don't overeat and exercise. Exercise. You could do just fifteen minutes of stretching three times a week, just stretching. Go for a little mini walk. For those of you who have dogs, take the dog for a walk at least once a day. That's your that's your exercise. And don't eat. Try not to eat late.

39:43 I had to put a curfew on in this house and send out of text we can't eat. I don't want my house eat it up after eight o'clock at night. It don't make any sense. We all sit down, we eat. You didn't like the food. That's not my fault. Make yourself a peanter butter and jelly sandwich. You gotta stop this. I put things in perspective. Okay, Trey, you got anything you want to add? I got a you know, go ahead, and I had twenty one say this part. I had twenty scriptures on food. There's twenty scriptures pertaining the food. In the Bible. Just want to put that out there, Tray, thank. You for sham was great and relevant to what we're talking about, you know, because it is you know. People struggle with it. You know, food is a go to, you know, whether you're fellowshipping or you're going through something. A lot of people when they when they when they when they're stressing, they eat.

40:35 Some people stressed they don't eat. Oh yes, some people who You heard people say oh, I haven't had my couple of coffee and said, oh no, no, just stop what you do. Go get you some coffee, because I can already tell this is about to go someplace else. So go get your coffee, or tell some people after you wait it up me you could take your lunch. Go take your lunch. I can tell you maybe you're a little hungry, and then like oh okay, no, no, no, where's the manager. She need to go on lunch and close this out that I do stif like that because I'm like, we don't. I don't know how you're gonna look and you have it eating, you know, Sorry about that, tray go ahead. I think what you were saying was good because you know what people are asking about things, especially scripture related to our topic, and so I think this is good. I don't have a whole lot, like I said, I'm just I'm learning as we go to about that, but just you know, just being mindful of, you know, things that are in the food. You know, I try to avoid as process as much as possible.

41:34 I try to. Now hain't perfect, but I try not. You know, like I'm not driving the McDonald's all the time. Every once in the blue moon, I might go if it's like something right there, but yeah, you just have to kind of because I notice after I eat it, it's a different feeling, you know, it's different. It's almost like you're floated or or as a child, I loved it, you know, and I just fri were always like the best thing ever better And that's just not that place. It's just other places as well, we just have to be mindful of what we're in taking. And what we're eating and what we're using to season it with and things like that. There's the hummel, you know, there's uh uh salt, different types of salts and different that.

42:20 For those of you who like a little peppery, there's the miss dashed stuff, that whole line of stuff. You know, if you were like a little you know, spicy and things like that, you know, black pepper, I mean you could just yeah, I used to what I did cook. I used to use just season salt. I never used salt and pepper. I just used season salt. Just you know, get it a little bit, give it a little kick of fake flavor. I was good, you know. My daughter, now, yeah, miss k is all. Into the powders and the salt, and I'm like, you know, if you put garlic potter and onion powder and salt on the same piece of meat, it's gonna be salty. It can't help it. It's gonna be salty, you know. So but I know she into the techniques and stuff like that that but you know, I know, just just for just p a little salt pepper on it, for me, I'm good oil and stuff.

43:06 So I went u to eat try the new restaurant and got some I forgot. I think it was a skirt steak, and I like steak, and it had peppers and you know, surfy peppers and onions on it. But when I you know. Aside from it, it was a lot of oil in it, you know, and all set at the bottom of your stomma. You know. The food was okay, it was not a bad flavor. But I'm I'm typically I'm typically. Very simple as far as my season go. Now, certain seasons I do like it somebody, But when I cook, I don't use a whole lot of seasons typically to see onion, maybe a pepper or something maybe, but it's it's temple.

43:49 I don't. I don't even I don't even cook eggs with salt and pepper. I cook it and I don't. And then when I cook it, you know it once I like a strap or Friday or something like that, then I might add the salt to tape or a pepper to taste, but typically I don't add salt to. Got you egg like that? Now your homework is gonna be God just gave it to me. Your homework is gonna be for everybody. Take a look at the foods, your main foods over this next week until next Monday, what you're eating, and Google and see how long it takes to digest it. Homework is all the food you eat, you consume every day by the end of the day.

44:30 I want you to go to Google. I want you to say, how long does it take for steak a Ribby's steak to digest, A be processed through the digestive system our stomach. How long does it take you know, Hamburger's from McDonald's to digest. I want you just to don't scream, don't get upset. We're gonna talk about it a little bit before we go, you know, lead off to the next subject next Monday. But I'd be curious as to see what your thought process will be then, because to know that some of this food just sits for a minute and it's wreaking some hapic on our organs. I'm just finding this out each meal or everything in the meal, each meal. So if you have you know what the protein is and if it's a vegetable, you know, just just simp and simple. But if you eat twice a day, or eat three times a day. Take a look at all all that you consume.

45:19 And that's it for us saying you know, hey, we had a great time. Thank you so much. We love each and every one of you. Please be safe. We'll see you next week, same time, same steak Shine music In
