You make your own decision about it. Eat whatever you and Jesus agree on. But remember this: What you choose to eat, along with other lifestyle choices you make, will impact your lifespan. Even doctors agree about this. They say that 98% or more of all chronic diseases are self-induced. Medical experts have also concluded that, just like God’s WORD says, the human body is supposed to live 120 years. They just don’t know yet how to get it to live that long. God knows though. So, the best way to live out your full life is to get with His program. Find out what He says in the Bible, believe Him and act on it. “But I’m not very familiar with the Bible,” you might say. You don’t have to be. Just trust that the Greater One who’s inside of you wrote it, and look to Him to help you. Say, “LORD, show me in Your WORD what I need to see and teach me what I need to know.” Then start reading and don’t stop. You’ll be amazed at what happens. You’ll find yourself bouncing from one place in the Book to another. You’ll open to one passage and think, Oh! That applies to the situation I’ve been dealing with! Then you’ll turn to another passage and the Holy Spirit will speak to you through that one. You might find yourself in Psalm 127:2, for instance, reading about how God “giveth his beloved sleep,” and the Holy Spirit might say to you, 'You’re staying up too late at night. You need to get to bed earlier and get more rest.' Or you might read in Proverbs 17:22, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine,” and hear the Holy Spirit tell you to laugh more. Those may seem like simple instructions, but they can make a big difference in your health. Lack of sleep impairs your immune system. Laughter strengthens it. Medical science has even proven that laughing relieves pain and cures disease. It’s no accident that Philippians 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.” The joy of The LORD is your strength! It takes strength to live 110 or 120 years. It takes strength to finish your race here on earth and do everything God has called you to do. So, rejoice, rest and eat from the good list! Lay claim to the promises in Psalm 91, refuse to let the devil talk you out of them, and live a long, strong, satisfying life! V POINTS TO GET YOU THERE: 1) God needs some anointed 110- and 120-year-olds on the earth. (Gen. 6:3) 2) The 70- or 80-year lifespan mentioned in Psalm 90 was just for the Israelites in the wilderness. (Ps. 90:9-10) 3) In Psalm 91 God promises protection and long life to those who live by faith in Him. (Ps. 91:15-16) 4) As a born-again believer, all the promises in God’s WORD belong to you. (2 Cor. 1:20) 5) God’s WORD is the best health and longevity manual ever written. (Prov. 4:20, 22) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ******** ADVERTISEMENTS ******** Increase your faith and stop the devil in his tracks!

Why? Because I have the Spirit of God living on the inside of me. Now it’s one thing to know that we already have the power of God to do any task He calls us to do. But it’s quite another to know how to tap into the anointing—the burden-removing, yoke-destroying power of God (Isaiah 10:27)—and walk in what is rightfully ours. Causing the anointing to manifest in the natural often requires that we tap into what the Bible calls “the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began” (Romans 16:25). Even though the Bible says the mysteries are hidden, God is not keeping them from us—rather, He is keeping them for us. They are not kept secret to keep us from understanding how to tap into the power we need to do God’s work. In fact, they are mysteries He intends to reveal to us (Romans 11:25; Matthew 10:26). But if we are ever going to find out what they are, we must learn to go where the secrets are kept. Contrary to what some may think, it’s not a hard place to find. Psalm 91:1 tells us that the secret place is in the presence of the Most High. When you need wisdom to do something beyond your natural ability, simply go to God in prayer. His wisdom can be found by spending time in His Word. It can also be found by praying in tongues, because when you pray in other tongues, you pray the answers to the mysteries. Ask God for the understanding of what you have prayed in the spirit and receive your answers by faith. Remember, it’s one thing to know about God—and another to know Him. And you’ll never know Him without spending time with Him in the secret place. If you continue to rely on your wisdom rather than seeking God’s wisdom, you will only create limits for yourself.
