EAT RIGHT AND LIVE FOREVER

Job  23:12  Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

John 4:31-34   In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

• And that is good!
• Eat right and live longer.
• People are killing themselves with improper food.
• Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost.

• Doing the will of God.

Food allows our bodies to survive.

• We receive strength from food.
• It maintains our health.

John 5:19  Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

• He requires the will of the Father.


John 5:30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

What did He mean.

• The will of the Father which was His food was involved.

• And in order to continue to exist He had to do the will of God.
• Obedience to the will of God is absolutely vital to the maintained existence in the Kingdom of God.

• God honours us.

• God is not a pie in the sky.
• He only hears you if you do His will!


Psalm 66:18  If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

People, you need to obey God's will.

• You will not survive in the Kingdom of God without it.

• He set out to pray and fast.
• Instead of eating natural food, that was necessary, he set out to feed upon another kind of food.
• Instead of eating physical food, he prayed.
• His prayers spoke to God that God might speak his will in return and feed Job the meat that would help him survive spiritually.

• The reason Job did not was because he received strength and sustenance through the meat of receiving God's will.


John 6:27-29  Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

• But the Lord informed them they ought to seek spiritual meat more than the material.
• The spiritual food would make one live forever.

This food was the word of God they would eat and devour by believing.

There is much poisonous food in this world just as there is in the spiritual realm.

• There are poisonous doctrines and poisonous teachings of false prophets.

Acts 17:10-11  And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

• And they were called noble by the inspired words of the Holy Ghost!
• They did not seek to insult Paul, but they had to make sure he was speaking truths of God, and the source for their confirmation was the scriptures.

• Search the Bible and confirm it there.
• As those on diets take their food value booklets into the grocery stores to ensure they do not obtain too many calories or too much bad cholesterol into their systems when they eat the food they purchase, we need to line everything we hear up with the Bible.
• If it adds to the Bible or detracts from it, then it is poison!
• If you want to live forever, you better eat right!

• However, people are so careless in what religion they believe.
• They do not even think to ensure it is truth.
• Many care not if their Christianity aligns itself to the Bible.
• Eat right and live forever!
• It DOES matter what you believe.


John 6:47-51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

• They would render us with eternal life.
• What did He mean?


Isaiah 42:6  I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

• He was the word.
• He was the laws.
• Imagine it!
• Instead of parchment and ink and lettering, He was the covenant, Himself.


Isaiah 55:1-3  Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.  Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

• Instead of food, and drink, that did not satisfy, God said His covenant would make people live.
• This is the spiritual food we must eat.
• His teachings and words are as vital to our survival in the Kingdom of God as physical food is in the physical world.

What did that mean?

Acts 13:34  And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

• And this links with Jesus; reference to eating his flesh and drinking his blood.
• His flesh would be broken on the cross just as He broke the bread and multiplied it, inciting the people to throng Him for more physical bread.
• He desired them to seek Him for spiritual bread.
• His broken flesh.
• His shed blood.
• His indication of the eating of His body and blood is explained further in His last supper, where He noted His body would be broken in death and HIs blood shed in death.
• This all points to the cross.
• We feed on these truths!
• This food will make you live forever.

• The everlasting covenant is Jesus!
• The sure mercies of David involve Jesus' resurrection from the dead!

Don't settle with doing your own will!

• You will never survive in the Kingdom of God.
• Your pride will kill your christianity!
• Satan wanted to do his own will instead of God's will, and look how it poisoned him.
• Proud people who resist God's will are feasting on the death of Satan's own poison!
• Such are not feeding.
• You'll spiritually starve to death.
• THAT is why people backslide.
• They lose interest in church and in prayer and in the Bible.
• They are not eating and grow weaker.


Romans 4:19-20  And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

• They cannot bear them.
• They're too much to believe.
• However, Abraham was strong in faith.
• He did not stagger beneath the load of such a great promise.
• Howso?
• He feasted on the meat of the word and gained strength to believe.

• People, the Word of God is His will, and it feeds you like meat feeds muscles.

• And as a child I asked dad how we get muscles, and he told me that meat is animal muscle.
• He told me the meat my uncle sold was animals' muscles.
• You eat muscle and you get muscle.'
• You eat fat and you get fat.
• When Garbage goes in, then garbage is going to come out.

• And the word is meat for your faith muscle.

• So did Jesus.
• He was going on a journey into the depths of hell for us, to destroy the devil who had the power of death.


Luke 22:42  Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

• That cup was part of it.
• But he had to drink it.
• Had he not eaten that will of God, you and I would not be saved tonight.
• We would not feel His presence.
• We woudl not live forever!

• Christians weaken away and die spiritually because they refuse to eat the meat of the Father's will.


Matthew 5:6  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
