This presentation is brought to you by the Friends of the Amazing Facts Ministry.

Nuclear submarines or boomers are modern engineering wonders equivalent to a tightly packed self-contained city where a crew of 140 share the space of a three-bedroom house.

A nuclear sub can stay submerged up to 90 days.

There's little contact with family during this time.

Along with the pressure being prepared to launch nuclear weapons, it's 1 of the most stressful military assignments.

To compensate, the Navy trains the best chefs for these subs.

A meal might be prime ribs, sauteed mushrooms, baked potatoes, fresh bread, and real chocolate cake.

They say an army travels on its stomach, and that's why the military spends millions evaluating what their soldiers eat.

Why is it that many Christians think God doesn't care what his soldiers eat?

The Bible teaches that whether you eat or drink, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Since our bodies are God's temple, we should present them to him as a living sacrifice and not abuse them with gluttony, especially since we're soldiers in his army.

So join me today for this program as we uncover more amazing health facts from the word of God.

Welcome friends to our Foundations of Faith program, so glad to see each of you here.

And we've been talking about if the Reformation was to continue, what are some messages that the Christian world really needs to hear?

But I like to always start with an amazing fact.

I'm going to need to read some of this from my notes tonight because there's just a lot of details I can't remember.

The most powerful supercomputer used to be in the U.S.

It's the 93 petaflop Sunway Tailu Lite installed at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, China.

It has more than 10.5 million locally made processor cores, 1 computer.

At its peak, the computer can perform 93 trillion calculations per second, which is a whole room of super processors, air conditioners, and power cables.

Still, this is only .4% of what 1 human brain can do in processing in a second, which means this super computer is about half as smart as a mouse brain.

You know, the Bible tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

You know, in your brain, that 2 1⁄2 pound electrochemical computer, it's filled with, you know, billions of neurons, And they've discovered now that within the neurons are these dendrites and they used to think that they were just kind of interconnecting cables.

But the scientists have come to discover that each 1 of these little dendrites, which are just super microscopic cables within the neurons, actually each is a computer in itself.

And so the statistics that they had about the computing ability of the human brain, they're finding out that it was much more than they even thought.

Which makes sense, because we're going to be learning through eternity.

That's 1 reason I just could never accept evolution.

Why would You evolve a brain that you don't even use 70% of it in 1 life.

Why would you evolve with so much extra capacity?

Now our message tonight is dealing with the subject of healing, health and holiness.

Let's look at our lesson, it's going to bring out a number of points.

First question, why is God concerned with our physical health?

Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Jesus spent almost as much time healing as He did teaching.

You read in 3 John, verse 2, Beloved, I wish above all things that you might prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.

How important is physical prosperity to God?

Because God communicates to you through your brain.

Your brain is sort of like the bridge between your physical body and God.

He doesn't communicate to you through your toes or through your elbow, and you might think He speaks to you through your stomach, but God speaks to you through your head.

And your head is a combination of some kind of a spiritual organ, and they still don't know if thoughts are physical.

Look at all the things that are happening now, right now in this room, in your minds and in mine, while I'm talking to you and I'm taking in things visually and watching some of you yawn and think what that does to me while I'm talking.

And I'm seeing all of this and I'm thinking about what I've got to say next and there's Thousands of things going on in my mind and are those tangible when the Holy Spirit inspires you Is that just a computer process or is there something outside influencing your brain?

But your brain is also an organ It's fed by blood.

It's interesting it's the center of all the nerves in your body all kind of end in your brain, but your brain doesn't feel.

If you take care of your body and your mind is clear, it is easier for you to be a witness for the Lord.

You will feel better, which makes you a happier person, which makes you a better witness.

If your head is clear, you understand spiritual things better.

It's easier for you to live a Christian life and comprehend the will of God if your mind is clear.

And so the devil is working overtime to try to fog up the minds of his people and make them sick so that they're just not able to let their light shine the way he wants them to.

John 10, verse 10, I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.

He's not only skiing, he's skiing barefoot.

He obviously doesn't have dentures because he's holding the rope in his teeth.

I'd like to sprinkle a few amazing facts here.

I was reading back in 2014 about Jeanette and Alan Murray, who set a record for running the most consecutive marathons of anybody in history together, starting January 1, 2013.

Every day through the year, they ran a marathon, and they ran completely around Australia and Tasmania, running 366, they did 1 extra for good measure, marathons, 26.2 miles every day.

And along the way they consumed 10, 000 bananas, thousands of avocados, smoothies.

They're both vegetarians, vegan vegetarians.

Part of the reason they did this was to promote a vegetarian diet because she believed it was largely responsible for her recovery from cancer.

In spite of what you may be hearing from some of the meat and dairy industry, a vegetarian diet is definitely healthier for people.

I learned this the hard way years ago and I'll maybe say more about that later.

God promised the children of Israel when He brought them out of Egypt that if they would serve and obey Him, He would remove all sickness from them.

They ate angel's food from God every day.

And after 40 years of following the laws of health and sanitation that God had given Moses.

You know what the testimony is in Psalm 105 verse 37?

Among this people, this nation, of up to 2000000 people, says He brought them forth, there was not 1 feeble person among their tribes.

Can you imagine 2000000 people in a city and the hospital is empty?

You know, the nurses and doctors are just kind of folding their arms and they're watching the clock because there's nobody to take care of because everybody's well.

You know 1 reason that there's a health care crisis in North America is because, you know, even if you take care of yourself and you follow all the best health laws, you'll eventually get old and die.

But God doesn't want you to spend the last 30 years of your life dying.

You read in the Bible about Moses, it says Moses climbed a mountain, 120 years old, God says, Moses, time to die, I want you to climb that mountain and we'll deal with it up there.

Moses climbs the mountain, God leaves him to rest and it says, his strength was not abated, his vision was still clear, 120 years old, active, productive, clear, and then all of a sudden at the very end, he dies.

I know so many dear old people that took care of their health and just kind of fell over in their garden.
