Life is more important than food

In my times of temptation the Lord has begun to have me chant this to myself in faith.

Matthew 6:25 (Whole Chapter)
[ Do Not Worry ] "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. 'Is not life more important than food', and the body more important than clothes?

So that I might beat this flesh into submission. I refuse to be a food freak , and worrying about every minute every second of the day how I'm going to eat this and that. My days of food porn are over. For those of you that have been in the struggle of trying to lose weight or become healthier you know what I mean. For those of you that don't know what food porn is let me give you a small brief description.

Food Porn - The constant reference to delicacies that tingle the senses to lust after although it may not be good in nourishment for the body. Obssessing over these foods, can cause catastrophic impact. Resulting in Binges, expansion of body fat, hypertension, cholesterol, blood pressure, and water retention in the body. Dangerous for health and incriminating to the mind.


Well I am getting past that Food porn in the name of Jesus. And the when the temptation comes to eat something that I don't need that scripture always comes to me. Is not life more important than food? I'm not going to worry about what I'm going to eat or when I'm going to eat. If you read farther down in the scriptures on this particular one that i have above it says that there is no need to worry about what we should eat, or drink, or what we should wear because our father which is in heaven will provide for all of our needs. If he looks out for the grass in the fields and clothes them and feeds the sparrows of the air when they have no resting place so why should he not provide for us?

I live in a country that is overflowing with delicacies that some underprivileged or undernourished countries don't have access to.

The simple pleasure of soda pop, or oatmeal cream pies, or even Mcdonald's, Wendy's, Diary Queen, or the wonderful KFC. These are seriously signs of wealth in our nation that we as Americans have come to abuse. No longer do we use these places as treats or rewards to whatever accomplishments we have they have become a part of everyday life. And as a part of everyday life they turn us into gluttons. Making our stomach's our god's instead of the one true GOD that can provide for us. I read this in the bible too (it's funny how people discredit the bible for so much but the bible touches every single subject and situation known to man with a solution, including overeating and obesity.) The reference to our stomachs beijng made into idol god's is under

Phillipians 3:19 :
Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.

These are a couple of scriptures that God has given me over the past 2 years concerning my weightloss and there are more. They are beginning to illuminate to me while in the midst of this consecration. I thank God for just being able to understand these scriptures and apply them to my own life. And show them to others so that they can understand them too. Learning my hunger and full signals and realizing that food and drink quite simply is just fuel. Fuel to keep our organs working and healthy. Thought I'd relay the message to you all as well. Hopefully it is food for thought.
