  8. Eat this book

  9. Ezekiel 3:1-2And he said to me, “Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the house of Israel.” So I opened my mouth and he gave me the scroll to eat.

  10. Revelation 10:8-11Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on theland.” So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll.

  11. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’” I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.

  12. Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”

  13. Two distinct visions, two identical commands

  14. What does it mean?It’s about guts...innards...bowelsIt wasn’t about being able to recite it word for wordIt was about knowing it, believing it, trusting it and feeling it.

  15. What you consume you absorb, and what you absorb becomes a part of you and what becomes a part of you directs you

  16. The authority of Scripture is an inward, rather than an outward authority. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

  17. Following the RecipeWould you trust the recipe of a chef who never tasted his/her food?

  18. The Best Thing I Ever Ate: A Survey

  19. “Taste and see that the Lord is good...”This was obviously said by somebody who had already tasted to see the Lord was good... and he was.

  20. Three words: Chicken AND Waffles

  21. When you consume something so good, so satisfying, so unbelievable that you feel it down to your toes...

  22. You share it... You desire it again... You never forget it...

  23. The authority of Scripture is an inward rather than an outward authority...YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

  24. THE QUESTION: What authority does the Bible have over my life?THE ANSWER: Does it taste good to you?

  25. It’s not about a set of rules, laws, warnings, and directives...(not that they aren’t in there)

  26. It’s about consuming Scripture, absorbing Scripture and letting it become part of your very DNA

  27. The authority of Scripture is an inward rather than an outward authority...YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
