Coconut Oil Touted as Alzheimers Remedy

Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. (*Genesis 9:3 ESV)
Everything we need to know about God is in the Bible. Everything we need to live by is in the Bible.
Everything we need in life comes from Father Above.
Everything we need to survive was given by our Creator and nothing has changed in 6000 years.


And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. (*Genesis 1:29 ESV)


From the cancer-fighting properties of figs to the healing, soothing purity of aloe, He gives and gives and gives. Now science is proving what a lot of us have known all along. That is, the tropical coconut fruit has life saving properties; is healthier than soy and vegetable oil for diets and even the water of the young green nut can cure and upset tummy faster than Sprite or 7-Up!


Researchers in the video link above (first discovered by the Christian Broadcasting Network - CBN) now tout the attributes and apparent evidence that Coconut Oil can halt the spread of Alzheimers, which is primarily a North American disease!


I have been to different islands in the Caribbean and am yet to know of anyone with that disease!!! Coconut is a huge part of the local diet from Puerto Rico...along the chain...to the islands of Trinidad/Tobago, off the Venezuelan coast.


The fruit of those trees lining sandy Caribbean beaches and elsewhere, are farmed and grown for the following:


- Ice cold coconut drinking water from the young green nuts (a sweet delicious natural drink)
- After you drink the delish coconut water, you have the vendor split the young green coconut with this machete and create a natural scoop off the outer casing of the nut. Then you eat the sweet tender meet found inside the shell after the coconut water is consumed.
- I have eaten multiple dishes made and flavored with the milk of the coconut. This is the kind of nut you find in all good American grocery stores. All kinds of meats and vegetable dishes have some kind of milk in it. If you go to some of the Puerto Rican bodegas on the east coast, you can find everything from coconut ice cream to coconut crusted shrimp!

A few years ago, some so-call health police got movie theaters to ban Coconut Oil, which is the ingredient which makes movie popcorn taste so fantastic for years! This was based on fraudulent science as now there is a run on coconut oil for recipes and as beauty enhancements as my good sister Cheri Majors wrote here in her column. 


(Click THIS for Cheri's column on Coconut Oil for Beauty. Cheri tells you how to look beautiful on the outside with the oil of the coconut. I am here to testify that the food prepared with this gift from God, is both tasty and beneficial for your good cholesterol along with this new  evidence that Coconut oil can stall or get rid of Alzheimers!

GREAT RESOURCE!

Folks, now is the time to get rid of our unhealthy modern habits and use what God, in His Wisdom, has given us. If you look at the 613 ceremonial Laws God gave to the Israelites to live under, some of them are just common sense for good health. 


While those people wandered in the desert for 40 years, rather than the 11 day journey it should have been, they never got sick and their shoes never wore out. Moses died a strong and healthy 120 years old!

The book of James tells us that every good thing comes from the Father of Lights, Abba Father, our God and our King. He only wants what's best for us.  He has never led us astray. We do that ourselves when we follow our own way or become deceived by modern marketing; processed and the fast food culture.


I recommend this LINK so we can learn more about the Bible based Diet and how to proceed from here on out. This LINK has items we can find in our regular local grocery so it's as affordable as what we buy now. The preparation may be a little different if we replace all the processed stuff with natural products and let moderation and exercise be the key to a successful lifestyle. To God be all the Glory. 


Finally, there is a link where one can purchase excellent coconut products. I don't recommend things which I would not do myself.  Next time you make a stir fry, try coconut oil instead of olive oil and experience the flavor explode! Amen!


EVIDENCE OF THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (*John 1:1 ESV)

ARE YOU A HYPOCRITE?

PART 1 - ON THE OUTSIDE

A hypocrite is a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. He or she can also be someone who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, orstatements belie his or her public statements.*


A charge commonly made against us Christians is that we are a bunch of hypocrites! In fact, this is the excuse given by secularists and humanists as to why they - the atheist - do not go to church or are not a child of God. Of course, they do not see the light poles sticking out of their own eyes. 


Billy Graham has a good question for those who blame a lack of any relationship with the one true God of heaven on those of us whom the world accuses of hypocrisy. He said "if you got a bad glass of milk one time, would you quit drinking milk?" Or to paraphrase, if you get a cheap gallon of gas at a QuickMart gas station and it evaporates quickly, would you stop going to any filling station forever? No you won't, or you would not be able to drive anywhere.


The world looks at the sensational headlines or some perverted, greasy, money-grubbing individual behind a pulpit with a bible and willfully associates us with that prosperity gospel from hell. I can't tell you the amount of times I have to defend the Bible or my own beliefs in Christ against unbelieving co-workers. These people use the any example of religious double-speak; womanizing or some rich preacher with an arrogant attitude to paint EVERY Christian as one of those.

Sometimes, it does not have to be a national religious figure who falls in disgrace like Ted Haggard or Bishop Eddie Long, but some who accuse us of hypocrisy, are more up to speed on some local pastor in town who owns two spanking new Cadillacs and goes on cruises every winter with his family, while he or his church are never seen downtown, showing any compassion for the homeless and/or hurting. They look at him on local TV with the fancy glittering stage and rock band, hawking books while talking about "the Love of Jesus" and wonder "what planet is this guy even on?"

Whether these local churches actually have great outreach ministries or not (usually they do), is not the question. The perception is one of "these churches only want my money".


Therefore, Father in the Name of Jesus, You are not tolerant of those who profess and call on Your Name in Public, but whose father is the god of this world - the devil. The Lord Jesus called out the pharisees in Matthew 23:15 when He said "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves."


Lord God, this is the state of most of us in the modern church who could not stand the scrutiny of the Light of day, but who will be accountable on the Day of Judgment here on earth. We are the modern day copies of those pharisees.


Lord we confess our sins as a body of Christ for all the lost of this world we have turned away, because we have not functioned as You expected we would or as You laid out in Your Holy Word. For this sin, we seek and beg Your forgiveness.


Lord, we confess ours sins for each time we have held large public events and proclaimed the Name of Jesus and God, yet live like the devil the rest of the week. For this sin, we seek and beg Your forgiveness.


Lord, we confess our sins for every missed opportunity we let slip to be the good Samaritan to a homeless person with sign, and looked down our noses at them. We could have well failed a test and disrespected an angel from heaven by our foolish self-righteousness! For this sin, we seek and beg Your forgiveness.


Lord we confess our sins for the countless times we 'felt sad' as a church when our poor neighbor's ministry or building just up the county burned down....and all we did was say we would "pray for them"...and then never do pray or lift a finger to help or donate a penny to help that brother or sister out of a jam!  For this sin, we seek and beg Your forgiveness. 

Lord I personally repent for being part of any body or organization, which has committed all these shortcomings and sinned before You, as the church. Lord, no one is pure in this regard.

I repent personally as a former church and now a ministry leader, for missing both the forest and trees because I was too busy to see Your Hand at work. Forgive me oh God. Search me and correct my thinking so that no matter what the lost and evil world may say, at least in this corner of Your Kingdom, we will not be found wanting and being hypocrites on the Outside, when called to account, in That Day...in Jesus' Name, amen
