Quotes

People need to wake up. I know of 2 young ladies who went to the emergency room within the last month. The reason they ended up there was simply because of lack of nutrition. Their stomachs were bleeding because of lack of the proper nutritional elements they needed to stay alive. -Pastor Jim Bakker

Narrative

On a recent trip to the grocery store, Pastor Jim was looking at all the foods. He found healthy fruits and vegetables, but he also found everything was in a can, bottle or in the freezer. After reading several labels, he found that the food system is more about chemistry than actual healthy ingredients. American’s have turned to a processed society mostly out of convenience, but it is having devastating consequences on their health. The produce sections in most grocery stores are pitiful looking, as everything is either half dead or had been around for a long while. Many people have no clue what they are putting into their bodies and how it can affect their entire system. It is important as temples of God, that every person be aware of what they are putting into their systems.

God made wheat and if it is cleaned and stored properly, it will last forever. Frank Davis has wheat in his home he is still using; it has been around for over thirty years. White breads and rice are unhealthy, as they are bleached and processed. Natural whole grain wheat products are the best for the body. Pastor Jim and Lori have taken to a plant based diet to improve health. Pastor Jim was diagnosed with Diabetes, a horrible condition, which was taking a toll on his body. Thankfully, with a plant based diet, he has been able to go off of all medications, as well as being the weight he was when he was seventeen.

Frank Davis has an intriguing story. He was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and was completely at the end of his rope. He was so lethargic and sick all the time, which caused him to be pro-active. Frank did not want to take this lying down, instead with help; he created vitamins that gave his body every nutritional thing it needed. Frank believes his healing is wholly to blame on the hand of God and by changing his eating habits. By changing his entire lifestyle, he is able to live to the fullest extent.

In our society today, many people are sick and in the worst shape of their lives. Mostly, the poor diet is to blame for the condition of the health of American’s. God created fruits and vegetables to give our bodies’ natural fuel, as well as the nutrients it needed to survive. Plant based diets not only allow people to have the nutritional values, but also create a healthier overall being. Both Pastor Jim and Frank Davis feel it is their missions in life, to expound on their person experience and share with people how to live and eat more healthily. While Lori could not be on the broadcast today, the plant based diet benefits for her was discussed. Lori has been able to drop over 32 lbs., simply by changing her lifestyle. The Bakker’s will still have a turkey on Thanksgiving, but they try to stick to plant based nutritional items.
