THE ULTIMATE DIET

As far as God is concerned, the quality of what you eat determines the quality of life you bear; it determines the quality of health and the quality of vigour and vitality that is operational in you. In Psalm 103:1-5, the psalmist said, Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

God satisfies your mouth with good things so that your days are renewed like the eagles. The better the food you eat, the better the health you enjoy.

Among the benefits of redemption is the provision of a spiritual menu that guarantees a sound body and flourishing health. When Jesus first introduced this meal, the Bible tells us that, And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many (Mk. 14:22-24). He told them “my flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed” (Jn. 6:55). That is, “I am giving you the highest form of nutrients you will ever need anywhere in the world.”

BETTER THAN MANNA

In John 6:48-51, Jesus described the value of this meal:

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.

The manna God gave Israel to eat in the wilderness was extra-ordinary and strange because the Bible says that there was not one feeble person among them and their legs were not swollen for the 40 years during which they ate the meal (Ps. 105:37). Still it is nothing compared to what He is offering us today.

The health and vitality of those men, women and children walking through the wilderness was supplied from the manna they were eating! That was angel’s food but the miracle meal is of a much higher quality than the one they eat.

Jesus said, “Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness and are dead but I am giving you something superior to what they ate. When a man eats this bread, which came down from heaven, he will not die” (paraphrased).

Something must be supernatural about that bread!

Jesus said my flesh is meat indeed; that means it has no comparison in terms of nutritional value. Saying that His blood is “drink indeed” implies that it is the highest quality drink. When you eat and drink such good things, your strength is renewed as the eagle’s.

Caleb partook of that manna from heaven and drank of the water that came out of the rock and he said to Joshua,

As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
— Josh 14:11

Forty years before, Caleb was among the spies that came down to Canaan and 40 years after, he was still as strong.

If the inferior meal kept man going from strength to strength for 40 years, then this superior meal will keep you going the remaining days of your life. That is why Jesus said, when you eat of His flesh and drink of His blood, you will live like Him.

God showed me the mystery of the communion through the teachings and life of Oswald J. Smith back in 1977. I have been servicing my system with this mystery since then. All my veins and my blood are in perfect order - that is partly why I can stand and lay hands on over 50,000 people in a day without sitting down. I have a food to eat that keeps me going with supernatural strength. That was the food of Smith Wigglesworth. He took it daily and he went to God full of strength and vigour at a good old age.

When God opened my eyes to the flesh and blood of Jesus, I was so taken with it that I took it virtually everyday. It answered to me in detail. All the weakness and sickness in me died and life became increasingly more buoyant.

This meal is designed for strength, health and longevity. If you take it with the correct spiritual perspective, expect to be strong, healthy and to fulfill the number of your days.
