Craving God Not Food - Asheritah Ciuciu

[@peacelovejoyandhappiness]

This video is awesome 🎉❤thank you for your discussion.

[@marlafrange8106]

Thank you so much for this ;-; I felt really ashamed that I wasn't trying as hard in being disciplined and controlled about what I eat. I've been struggling trying to let go of this idol for months now and I haven't succeeded so far :< Please pray for me that I can find my ultimate satisfaction in Christ ❤

[@ashleyodell3778]

How is your journey going?

[@maryc8502]

Many will think it's legalistic when they themselves don't have an eating issue. A person who has battled with food can understand and really empathize with this story. Thank you for sharing your vulnerable story.

[@seekthetruth824]

Once you realize the sinfulness of overeating, and realize how hard it is to break the addiction, it will wreck your life as you feel out of control. you will realize you really are. sometimes you need to be wrecked before you can be repaired.

[@nthabisengmatlala4619]

Thank you so much for this message, I struggle with emotional eating and this opened my eyes to realize that I'm seeking fullness and satisfaction in food

[@lifeann30]

Oh God talk to me...i badly need to listen to this..i actually prayed this morning and always to help me with my relationship with food.

[@overcomingtheworld9564]

Same

[@mchristr]

The saints of old practiced mortifying the flesh, not to show themselves "righteous" but rather as an issue of freedom. God loves us so much he doesn't want us in bondage, even bondage to his good gifts. It is the Gospel that ultimately frees us.

[@issapolanco]

👏👏👏👏 this just came right on time for me! Wow! So much Wisdom. Thank you

[@faithchappell592]

This is such a timely message. I feel like in America most of us struggle with food regardless of what side of the spectrum we are on. We are always bombarded with food pictures, messages, and opinions. Which can cause us to obsess over it.

[@bethanywalsh7285]

Such a good word. I'm in recovery for Bulimia and I'm so encouraged by this message. It's so needed and so seldom talked about especially in the church. Thank you!

[@ashlyn925]

I love Focus on the Family! I also really admire Jim and his incredible work for the Kingdom, but I wish he would have let her talk more. After every few sentences, she would get interrupted by his comments or thoughts. Again, love Focus and Jim! But wish those being interviewed would have a little more air time!

[@JollyvilleChick]

Agreed. The food addiction is not a laughing matter. Do they make fun of people who can't resist alcohol? And then reduce it to a women's issue? She handled herself well despite the interruptions.

[@messue428]

He interrupted quite a bit.

[@blissful1689]

Thanks so much for this nudge in the right direction. I feel gluttony/over eating is a stumbling block and deception that is overlooked in our churches because we do not want to offend. But if the enemy is using any and everything as a weapon against us we must talk about this in our churches and amongst ourselves as followers of Christ in order that we may overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of one another’s testimonies 🙌🏼

[@ladyj5682]

Plus immorality, fornacation, alcoholism,

[@lorenworsley]

I agree this is such an under-addressed avenue for the enemy to enter our lives and try to steal our peace! Speaking from so much personal experience!

[@luciac9123]

Amen!!

[@kdwalters4146]

I am so grateful for the light you are trying to shine in the dark places.... I agree all too many of us brothers and sisters fail to recognize that what is "Mastering" us can be ANYTHING...it can be lawncare.....housecleaning.....speeding (in our cars)...it can even be "good works"..... I appreciate the conversation you recommend while looking in the mirror..... there used to be another book/program in the "christian community" that tried to teach the same thing, I tried to lead a group at our church and was amazed at the resistance from a few other "sisteres"...... Thank you for this video---- you are blessing people.......and shedding light on dark places! Thank You FOTF for all your hard work to help brothers and sisters who struglle with issues in their lives!

[@willietheordore6600]

You are right, I agree.

[@caroldodds55]

Asheritah is so peaceful and a clear mesage. I agree the host was a bit distracting with too much talking.

[@lindaholobovich1888]

Amen amen amen amen! This needs to be out in the open and talked about! Thank you for this topic! So many Christian women (and men) struggle with food fixation. It can be such a distraction pulling us away from the Lord. I know I felt ashamed by it, keep my food obsession struggle a secret and tried in my own power for years. We need to get it in the light and talk about this. Our freedom is in Jesus and only when I brought him in this struggle, leaning on him day by day. He wants us to bring everything to Him!

[@dwayne2232]

The Lord woke me up a little before 4 am... this was on point... I can't denied it, Thank you Jesus for text :) Amen!

[@lifeann30]

Oh this is for me....thank you my dear sister for coming out and tell your story

[@Talletc]

we tell ourselves that deadly food is a treat, and that lie needs to be pulled out

[@wassuhmufusaLOL]

SO TRUE. my advice is to pray before reading that his Word feeds you

[@oar-N-oasis]

One of the holy spirit fruits is "self-control"

[@slf5141]

Gluttony is my problem.... emotional eating when stressed causing weight gain.

[@Cin47dy]

You have a guest on your show and she barely gets to talk. I would really like to hear her!

[@LR3Dtrio]

Yaaaaas, I was getting frustrated because he kept cutting her off.

[@SentiMENTALJourneys1962]

She was a very gracious guest who professionally dealt with a less than professional interview

[@kimberkamper477]

Totally agree! He is SO rude! She has a heart and mind full of things to share with us and he doesn't let her bring it forth!!!! Where else can I hear what she has to say?

[@Bunchofluv123]

Also loveee the verses mentioned.

[@MarleneLeader]

I am very aware Ive prayed and read I realize it can be hiding our emotions but I cant seem to quit its a stronghold I know Jesus can break strongholds but hasnt yet need prayer for sure

[@jeffreybate1548]

Reminder spring forward on Saturday night!

[@jeffreybate1548]

This show is only 3 nights Sunday because I already listen to Wednesday and Thursdays show in advance!

[@kathyworiax1089]

This was excellent!

[@warrenplume9724]

What a profitable topic.

[@frick6946]

There are thin people who eat sugar and don't seem to have a problem with eating more and more. But there are others who do struggle with this.

[@RobinWorld33]

Great video!! Mrs.Ciuciu thank you!!

[@irishslave51]

It's definitely a problem within the church, and America in general.. There is too many obese people, not just overweight, obese.... Gluttony is still a sin in 2019, so saints learn to eat to live, not live to eat... It doesn't have to be a struggle, just incorporate more meat (grass fed), into your diet, and you will stay fuller longer, and the cravings will go away... Meat stays in the small intestine, breaking down the nutrients that we need, and at the same time maintains hunger pangs way more hours then eating veggies, etc.... Limit the carbs, and weight will be easy to maintain...

[@rosadecastro8037]

Jim, the host, interrupting so much was distracting. I felt his jokes were hurtful and not funny poking fun at the guest. This guest was amazing!

[@bettyconover4505]

I really really need help because I M trapped in the sin of gluttony overeating.Eating issue weighing 360 pounds

[@deborrahevans4168]

Yah, help us overcome the sin of gluttony and food as an idol in our lives; May we believe what can be Don through our faith in You, Halleluyah Yeshua, Amen

[@SullenGirl1984]

Me too

[@ladyj5682]

Definitely an emotional eater..........At 300 lbs now dealing with hurt plus now death of father, job I hate, sibling mental illness, other sibling distant, distant family members on both sides; I jus give up emotionally and eat. How do u ever get on top of it

[@stephens09able]

Too lighthearted about this issue of sin. It’s almost like when we laugh it helps lighten conviction.

[@peacelovejoyandhappiness]

Does anyone remember what she was saying about discarding food? Answers were provided and justified for throwing food out and not feeling bad. I forgot what she was saying about that. Thanks! Add your opinions below please.

[@peacelovejoyandhappiness]

I found it, it’s at minute 8:41

[@chandlerjames98]

that guy talks over her way too much honestly 😂

[@peacelovejoyandhappiness]

These discussions are always awesome. I have no problem with this channel. I absolutely love when I catch a video here, such a blessing. 🎉❤

[@peacelovejoyandhappiness]

I think too the man that’s asking all of the questions is excited to learn and hear advice from the beautiful lady.

[@Lovely20hi]

I just want to hear her story......he keeps cutting her off ugh

[@nataliamiranda7475]

He's really playing devil's advocate, literally!

[@jessicamunoz726]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏼

[@SajiSNairNair-tu9dk]

👉 നന്ദി? 👉 Father or mother? 🤔

[@caitlynbaldo5538]

I don’t feel like Jim read the book, or even has a clue as to the heart of this topic. Quite possibly food is something he struggles with… This was hard to watch…

[@dhall1421]

Stop joking and laighing. I want yo jear what she has to say.
