Is food really the enemy or is it the "appetizer" that comes first?
You know~
when the appetizer of ANGER, ANXIETY or FRUSTRATION wets your palette
& you then reach for food.
If you are what you eat, then if you eat ANGER won't you be angry?
Oh the Temptation to eat
FEAR, DOUBT & BITTERNESS & ________.
What are you really eating, or what is really eating you?
Hmm...
It all began in the garden when DOUBT was dressed as an apple.
Abiding in the wrong vine. You become what you abide in.
But what if we FASTED from the real culprits that weigh us down.
Losing a pound of SHAME & BLAME
or BITTERNESS & REJECTION
or UNWHOLESOME TALK & CONDEMNATION
or _________.
Well tomorrow is the day when we will begin our
40 DAY FAST to Easter~
Losing 40 Pounds in 40 Days
& gaining so much more~
MORE PEACE
MORE JOY
MORE HOPE
MORE LOVE.
Oh it is possible, as we don't do it alone.
JESUS knows the struggle, as HE experienced it first hand, yet never succumbed to it~
"Because HE HIMSELF suffered when
HE was tempted, HE is able to help those who are being tempted" (Hebrews 2:18).
What is in your hand that you are getting ready to eat?
Get ready to drop it so you can take the hand of the
ONE
Who will make you
WEIGHTLESS~
Living UNLEASHED in
HIS FORGIVENESS
HIS FAVOR
& HIS FREEDOM!
(listen to the song "SUITCASES" )
