This could be dangerous…

“You are what you eat!” I’m sure you’ve heard that before.

The meaning is obvious. The kind of food we eat has an impact on our physical and mental health, and therefore, also on our personality.

With years of eating disorders behind me, I can certainly understand. When I was anorexic, I was always tired, had constant headaches, and was irritable and moody.

Yes, our diet can contribute to us feeling energetic and well, or tired and sick. Also, our food can have an impact on our thinking, mood and behavior.

“You are what you eat,” also emphasizes that we are responsible for what we eat. What do you eat? And I don’t only mean your intake in the form of food. Let me ask it another way: What do you consume? What movies do you watch, what music do you listen to?

What we take in will either give us freedom—or take it away!

And yes, you are responsible for this: “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” (Matthew 6:24 NIV)

I served two masters at that time. I have always loved Jesus, but I also wanted to be loved by others. And if I am honest, my desire to be loved by others was greater than being loved by Jesus.

Today I know that if I serve two masters, it can be dangerous. This desire almost cost me my life.

I don’t know what it could be with you. Maybe you sing the most beautiful worship songs on Sundays, but during the week the most unpleasant swear words come out of your mouth…

God wants you to be happy and healthy! And you will be if you serve Him alone!

Just review your consumption today. Bring the unhealthy stuff to the cross… and experience His freedom!

Gladly I pray today quite consciously for you!

You are a miracle!

    Praise God and His Perfect timing to deliver your message Déborah in today’s fallen world! Thank You for being a vessel for the Holy Spirit, our Advocate, Comforter and Guide! As it is written our body is a temple where the Holy Spirit dwells, AND WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR TEMPLE/BODY… MIND, BODY & SOUL WITH HEALTHY FOOD, WATER, REST, EXERCISE…AND MOST OF ALL GOD’S LIVING WORD!!! Honestly, how I use my phone has been an ongoing challenge for me, as I have struggled with the need to communicate others and need to be intentional spending quiet time with our Abba Father more often and reading His Word. The Holy Spirit has blessed me with the gift of tongues I received as a teenager, but did not know how to use my gift until He led me to my current local Church 2 years ago. Also, I’ve been blessed with His gift of songs He sings over me each day to help me redirect my thoughts, and share with others which I do frequently. I’m grateful I’d only used 2 social media outlets which I removed from my phone last September after the Holy Spirit quietly convicted me of my unhealthy distraction. FACT: SOCIAL MEDIA IS THE ENEMY’s PLAYGROUND AND IS ALL ABOUT MIND CONTROL…WE AS GOD’S CHOSEN CHILDREN/FLOCK MUST BE SOBER, VIGILANT AND PREPARED WITH OUR FULL ARMOUR ON EVERYDAY…TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL!!!
