sir Karness you spoke my heart. This...battle is no different from all the others we wage during this walk. I needed this piece. I too have been struggling but with God's grace it stops today, these chains need to go, the excuses need to stop, my temple needs to be treated as such, the weight needs to be lost. Thanks for your courage to speak up about what we would much rather ignore.

Prayer will get us through.....and then just do what God is giving us the grace to do. LOL Joseph Prince said that our Spiritual hunger can affect us physically. It's true...after I have privet prayer in the morning or when I want to eat just thanking Him for everything and meditating on how blessed I am to still be alive and what not when all this tragedy I see on the news is mind blowing. I think that could be me. And thank God He kept me. I pray for them too.

Great message, especially because in the church we tend to ignore food addiction as a "sin" issue and downgrade it to a "heart struggle" or something like that. As if gluttony or laziness don't fall on the same scale as murder and sexual immorality. It's something I needed to be reminded of. Sin is sin, concern for humanity starts with the plank in my own eye, and my desire to carry His message well should be bigger than my pant size.

I needed to hear this so bad. I have been praying about the gluttonous spirit I have allowed to live in me for so long. Lately I have been feeling so convicted and praying for a way out. I would joke about trying to quit (overeating because I like the taste of something) but I knew this behavior was wrong. Convicting people of their sins and not taking the speck out of my own eye. I THANK GOD, that I hear this tonight, THANK YOU FATHER. I rebuke this spirit in The Name of Jesus!!!

@satasaba You still need to eat in moderation because the excess sugar in the chocolate with be converted to fat causing you to gain weight or even if you don't it can still clog your arteries. And chocolate being filled with simply sugars can cause damage to your arteries. But because you run (excercise) the size of your blood vessels might be bigger than the average person so you may not be able to tolerate more sugar etc..but you have to make sure you are having balanced meals.
