John 15:5 - I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing .
Why will go to church to hear the preacher preach on "spiritual issues", just don't touch the "Physical ones". We consider politics, food, work, fun, etc. our physical life and devotions, prayer time, attending church, etc. our spiritual life. This is the WRONG way to think. EVERYTHING is spiritual. Whether we eat, work, yes even politics. These re not only physical and until we awake to this truth we will NEVER be as effective as God wants us to be. We will never have revival. We must first SURRENDER our "physical" things so we can receive ALL that God has for us.
I have discovered that surrendering food, for me, is much easier said than done. I literally woke up this morning telling God that I surrender my food to Him. I wish I could say I have had the victory all day, but the fact is that this battle today has been much more difficult than I expected. Tomorrow I will put on the armor through prayer and ask God to give me spiritual strength to defeat this VERY physical temptation. When I reach my goal weight it will be a testimony of God and His power in my life. It will have NOTHING to do with me, because my flesh is WEAK. Tomorrow I weigh in and I really don't know what to expect, we'll have to see...
