Pray for me guys. I admit food has become an idol in my life. I repent of this sin, Lord forgive me. I only accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior a few years ago, and my whole life I've been stress eating due to unhappiness at home. It's a very hard habit to break, please pray for me. I want to worship my Jesus Christ and my Jesus alone. This kills me to admit but change starts with confession. God bless you all.

[@mrs.bartlett6047]

Rita Mezic My mother is the same way. You know people find food as a comforter when it’s not meant to be anything other than a nutrient and fuel for our bodies. The food that comforts us is our spiritual food that is the word of God, the only real comforter there is. So I can see how food could become an idol to us because we’re in a sense trading the authenticity of Gods comfort in for a false comforter (food). I have done this myself and right now doing this with alcoholism. I am a gluttonous also but we can overcome it friend

I fasted yesterday here I am the next day not knowing if God wanted me to continue to fast but I was hungry. And I just don’t know how to feel but know that, when God called you he knew everything we were going to do. Doesn’t mean that we intentionally sin, but to try our hardest to stray away from sin. I know hits hard . I cry a lot because of my idols. Scared I won’t ever change but remember this verse. Romans 8:32 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

Gluttony and obesity have their root in the rejection of God. God allowed Moses to see into the future of Israel and said this about them Deuteronomy 32:15 “But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked; you grew fat, stout, and sleek; then he forsook God who made him and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation." There is a forsaking of God that is united to obesity, which is the outcome of gluttony. This is the natural order of things when we no longer find our contentment in God and our aim is no longer to please God in all that we do.

That’s your God.” A person who is fixated on food and uses it as a means of control, whether that’s emotional eating or restrictive eating, is treating it as an idol.

[@PIF95]

@@AdamBror How do you know that bread, rice, or sweets are not honoring God’s temple? Does God ever say that eating bread or rice or sugar is a sin? No. The thing with nutrition is that one day a food is great for our health, the next day we find out it causes cancer. Trying to maintain perfect health through diet is sinking sand. I would say it all comes down to the heart of the issue (the conclusion Jesus always comes to). Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial….I will not be controlled by anything.” Trying to maintain the perfect diet is bondage. It distracts us off the mission we are called to in this world (sharing the gospel with all the world). We are to be wise about the choices we make based on the information we have, but our hearts are not to be controlled by anything in this world. I would say, eat foods that give you energy to complete the mission God has called you to in this world and keep your heart, mind, and life focused on Jesus, nothing else.

About 10 months ago I was obese. My doc had told me for a couple years that my cholesterol was going higher and was high she was even hinting towards medication. She didn't tell me I was pre-diabetic but I saw that my resting glucose was 113! That is pre-diabetic. Also my kidney function dropped 16 points in a year and I had an EGFR of 59.1 at the age of 38. My kidneys weren't doing too great the year before but I do believe my bout with covid months before (even though I wasn't hospitalized) didn't help things. This all scared me. The nephrologist my doc referred me to said I might still have normal kidney function but my creatinine was high which he expected since I was obese. Wow. So that kicked me into high gear. I had 6 months before my next blood test to confirm or rule out chronic kidney disease. I didn't want that diagnoses so I set a firm goal of losing weight in 6 months. In that time I lost 45 pounds. I prayed so hard and asked God to please heal me if it was covid that did the kidney damage but I also asked that he forgive my gluttony and if he saw it fit, to heal me even though I sinned. But I told him that I know our sins have consequences so I will accept whatever he chooses. I spent 6 months studying eating right for kidney, heart and diabetes. I went from obese to only 10 pounds over weight. My next doctor's appointment showed my cholesterol went from 230 down to 189. My resting glucose went from 113 to 96....it has gone down again since then to 90. My kidney function JUMPED higher than I thought possible to an EGFR of 84. That's still not perfect kidneys at the age of 38 but I will GLADLY and thankfully take it. My doc told me that I am a perfect example of what diet and healthy life style changes can do. Here's the thing though, God had a huge hand in that! She also told me, " I will stop bugging you about medication now". We must repent of our gluttony! Gluttony kills. It keeps us from being able to serve God. I fully believe Satan uses that to debilitated God's people so that their work is hindered. I didn't mention I have fibromyalgia so my pain was debilitating before dropping all of that weight. My feet would hurt so bad I was almost crawling to the bathroom at night. I had headaches and back aches that would make me cry and have to be in bed most of the day some days. I rarely feel debilitating pain and exhaustion anymore! Fibromyalgia doesn't seem to like sugar in my case. I still have 10-20 pounds to lose but I'm working on it. My husband and I decided to try for a baby because my health has improved so much. We got pregnant right after that appointment but lost the baby due to a partial molar pregnancy. I have a few months of monitoring a head of me before we can try again. Ideally I wanted to be that 20 pounds lighter before conceiving so I will use this time to better prepare the field as I pray for rain. My doc is all on board with us trying for a baby given my new health but I might have to wait a little longer because of this new complication. Maybe that few pounds of extra weight would have spelled disaster for me in advanced pregnancy. Who knows why God works as he does. Anyway, what blessings we might miss out on in life simply because we set food as our God can not be known. But turn back to God alone and see what happens to you!

I find it hard to enjoy food now since it’s a literal offence to me right now and then I feel guilty of not being grateful that I’m eating because I already know that I’ll, most likely, eat more later on. It’s frustrating, I’m so tired of it but it’s so hard to let go for some reason. Im just praying for help. Truly. I feel so helpless and like I can resist and stop but I chose not to

Hi Christain, Let me tell you what the Lord has done for me in other areas of my life. JESUS has delivered me from the spirit of Pornography.For more than 15 years, I have been addicted to pornography and masturbation. I tried my hardest to stop but I would soon get right back to it until God completely delivered me . One night I cried to God that I dont want to watch porn anymore and ask him to remove the desire and GOD removed the desire .I no longer watch pornography nor do I want to anymore . To the glory of God in almost 2yrs , I have been free from Pornography. That is not all.Next, God delivered me from masturbation, then delivered me from fornication and adultery. Finally save me from nasty sexual dreams . My prayer life is stronger than ever . ASK GOD FOR HELP. AS HE DELIVERED ME FROM THE OPPRESSION OF THESE VICES , HE WILL DELIVER YOU AS WELL. THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE. I SOUGHT THE LORD AND HE ANSWERED ME AND HE DELIVERED ME FROM ALL MY FEARS This verse is true for me and if you look to God for help , you would His mighty hands save you as he saved me . NO PROBLEM IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR GOD TO FIX.

Cry out man!Cry out and be willing for him to give you instructions. Mzke sure that you have been baptized inthe name of Jesus Christ and recrived the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of spesking in another tongue as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:38, Acts 19:2-7). Ipra6 that the Lord Jesus gives you victory over all your battles as you submit to him and seek to honor him! Prayer and fasting is s good start to break every yoke or habit or attitude that is seeking to weight you down (Isaiah 58:5-10).

[@JayantSinghBisht]

Eli Pratt, 1. Enjoying food means eat every delicious food whether it is good or bad. Now a day we have artificial food made up in factories. Which lead us to bad health. 2. Enjoying stomach means to run it smoothly giving it rest not all time filling it with all types of food. 2.1 Biological it is good to be hungry because it cause toxic to flush. 2.2 Biblical it is good to be hungry because it cause us to remind that we have one of the expression of the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which self control. For more clarification write me on [e-mail] Looking forward to hear from you.

Now please explain how smoking is also idolatry...

[@Instant_Sub]

Smoking is pleasure. It takes the place of God. People smoke out of stress and other unnecessary reasons. The reasoning is, why would you rely on something else other than God to remedy your stress? It has taken the place of God, who is all we need. Idolatry is anything that distracts us from God or gets in the way between us and God or anything that takes the place of God's goodness and help.

[@matthiaselsner7961]

The words sādhūnāṁ hṛṣīkeśānuvartinām are very significant. Sādhu means “a saintly person.” But who is a saintly person? A saintly person is he who follows the path of rendering service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hṛṣīkeśa. In the Nārada-pañcarātra it is said, hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate: the process of rendering favorable service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead with one’s senses is called bhakti, or devotional service. Therefore, why should a person who is already engaged in the service of the Lord engage himself in personal sense gratification? Why should he unnecessarily engage, like the animals, in the bodily concept of life? An animal thinks that the body of another animal is his food; therefore, in the bodily concept of life, one animal attacks another. A human being, especially one who is a devotee of the Lord, should not act like this. A sādhu, a saintly devotee, is not supposed to kill animals unnecessarily. Hari Om Tat Sat Om namo Sri Sri Nityananda Gauranga Hara Hari Haribol namah. Bhagavad Gita 9,26 Sri Krsna says: ,,If one offers to Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or even water, I delightfully partake of that article offered with love by My devotee in pure consciousness''

Gluttony overeating

[@Angelalex242]

Shortest answer: gluttony is the only sin the human eye can see. If the doctor calls you obese, or a random person can justifiably call you a big fatso, you are a glutton. This is a sin science can verify through scales and your BMI. the sin of gluttony will be worn as a spare tire around your stomach, and flab on your arms and legs. What does repenting look like? Results. Only results...actually dropping the weight and getting healthy and fit...constitutes repentance for this one. If ya don't weigh less this week than you did last week, your sin remains.

[@nikkowood4476]

There is so much wrong with your comment. Gluttony is wrong, but man you are off. BMI is a joke, don't use it. BMI says a healthy weight for a 6 foot man is 136-184. 136 isn't healthy, that's sickly. Secondly, gluttony is a sin of the heart as it relates to idolatry. If a person changed their habits and stops being gluttonous, but don't lose weight in a week, their sin doesn't remain. They've resolved the sin in their heart and have changed their gluttonous habbits. There are also load of other reasons why even people who exercise and eat healthy can still be a tad overweight due to medical issues. Be careful when trying to instruct others
