Gluttony is a Lack of Self-Control, especially in food, but also in other areas such as entertainment and comfort. It is a form of idolatry because it puts the desire for food and pleasure above the desire for God and is a sin many believers ignore.
The Bible calls us to Honor God with our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit, and to practice Self-Control and Moderation in everything.
Gluttony can have harmful consequences on our health, our relationships, and our spiritual growth. It opens the door for the spirit of infirmity, depression, lust, greed, pride, and other demons to come into our lives.
Gluttony leads to slothfulness,
overindulgence, and often results in physical sluggishness, laziness, and lack of motivation to pursue spiritual growth. It dulls spiritual sensitivity.
When we constantly feed the flesh, it dulls our ability to hear God’s Voice. The enemy uses gluttony to keep us distracted, spiritually desensitized, and ineffective in our calling.
🔥WE MUST SUBMIT OUR CRAVINGS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
“But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and Self-Control.
Against such, there is no law.”
(Galatians 5:22-23)
We need to be honest and answer these questions to see the health of our relationship with food: Are we more passionate about food than we are for God? Which is more satisfying or gratifying, God or food?
Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to join us in our battle to develop stronger Willpower and greater Self-Control. It will take prayer, fasting(even if just intermittent), and spending time in the Word.
❤️For me getting a food tracking app like Weight Watchers(as an example) helped me to have accountability by causing me to pay attention to portion size and what foods I was choosing to eat. It helped me start building new, healthier habits with The Holy Spirit’s Help!
There is Freedom in Jesus name but we must make a Choice to Repent, Surrender our All to Jesus, Crucify our flesh, and Walk in the Spirit Daily.
🔥Philippians 3:19…”Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.”
🔥Proverbs 23:21…”For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe them in rags.”
🔥Matthew 4:4…”Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
🔥 1 Corinthians 6:9-11…”Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the Kingdom of God.
And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.”
🔥Ephesians 5:5…”For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is greedy (which is idolatry), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.”
