Me too I think i love food more than God 😔. I just can’t control it I’m like 5’7 and 138 pounds i gotta loose like 30 pounds Please pray 4 me to stop binging
Pray for me guys. I admit food has become an idol in my life. I repent of this sin, Lord forgive me. I only accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior a few years ago, and my whole life I've been stress eating due to unhappiness at home. It's a very hard habit to break, please pray for me. I want to worship my Jesus Christ and my Jesus alone. This kills me to admit but change starts with confession. God bless you all.
Rita Mezic My mother is the same way. You know people find food as a comforter when it’s not meant to be anything other than a nutrient and fuel for our bodies. The food that comforts us is our spiritual food that is the word of God, the only real comforter there is. So I can see how food could become an idol to us because we’re in a sense trading the authenticity of Gods comfort in for a false comforter (food). I have done this myself and right now doing this with alcoholism. I am a gluttonous also but we can overcome it friend
Would yous please pray for me too, and I will remember yous in my prayers also. I have a problem with food, I over eat all the time, I really need to loose weight. My weight is really getting me down, and I know this will sound pathetic to most, buts my weight is preventing me from going back to my church and even getting baptized because I just feel gross.
I am an overeater. I have struggled with a food addiction for over 20 years. I am obese and suffer various illnesses because of it including diabetes. I know the Bible condemns gluttony, but food gives me such pleasure. Please pray for me to overcome.
Sean Brunson try fasting ! Ask God to bless you with the strength and self control to do it💞 God wants what’s best for us and I think that might help. Praying and fasting ! It doesn’t even have to be a whole day but seek God for what he would have you to do
The Bible doesn’t really condemn gluttony bro at least in the New Testament I’m positive but it does condemn idolatry. Pray and fast on it bro I’m an overeater that wants to lose weight as well
If you believe in the gospel (Jesus, The Son Of God, died on the Cross and bore the wrath of God owed to us as sinful men) and repent (turn away from sin and change your attitudes to see it like God does) and continue to repent, use this as a guide
I've binge eaten and relied on food to relieve my anxiety and stress. I've gained over 30 pounds and my health is at risk. Please pray that I may rely on Him instead of food and that I may lose the unhealthy weight 🙏
Yes. Gluttony is rampant in America! Just look at all the restaurants. A new one opening every time you look up! And then of course greed for money takes advantage of the greed for food. Lord, help me to find my contentment in You!
Dang listening to the first 7 minutes I was like noooo I don’t want to give up the enjoyment of food, then a lot of repentance of not wanting him alone/valuing my enjoyment more than getting closer to him, then I was trying to justify myself/thoughts by thinking I am enjoying God through food, food is not my idol necessarily ~.~ then when he began to list the four signs... and Holy Spirit STRONGLY convinced me from the very first sign... Thank you Lord for drawing me closer to you and showing me the path to getting closer to you. Thank you pastor John for faithfully working in God 🔥 Hallelujah!
@@bean7496 biblically speaking, the only definition of a fast is to fast from food. There is nothing wrong with abstaining from other things that are a distraction to our walk with God. But calling that fasting is a deception of the 21st century American church.
Please pray for our children. They are so susceptible to this. The media is so flooded with food advertising. Most kids usually don't have the discernment to recognize this dangerous trap.
I know you posted this 5 yrs ago, but thank you for making it still available. I have a problem with food. I've been praying to God for months. I now have my answer, and I thank God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, for putting this in my feed. Amen
truthseeker89 for life Is it possible to start with closing your window of eating time? Eat only between 12p-8pm, then between 2p-8p.... Then progress. God honors sacrifice. It may start with sacrificing breakfast then lunch...and so on! NO ONE enjoys denying the flesh. It cries out for what it wants. Be encouraged. We are all dying to the deeds of our flesh if we want to live as Christ and for Him.
Reuben Dean I gave my life to God, and afterwards lost 100 pounds. I wouldn’t necessarily say all of the desires I have with food changed, but I’m no longer slave to the desires that have remained. By the grace of God, he’s given me the strength and wisdom needed to say, “no.”
I realized I had a problem with food when I could not do the Daniel fast because I could not stop eating...For me to fast, so as to bring my body into submission, the Holy Spirit has to really help me...
Contentment is fundamental to finding the Joy of The LORD. Thank you, Father, for this precious gift which your Holy Spirit nourishes in our lives through our Salvation in Christ Jesus. Amen. Be encouraged and blessed as you walk today in peace and love.
Lord, I pray healing and may you cast away the Demons and spirits behind gluttony, in the name of Jesus! We don’t need food as an escape, we don’t need to let food (or anything else!!) affect our bodies in a negative way! We need you!!!!! 🎉❤
I think me having GERD is the way God rebuked me because I kept on eating unhealthy food in my college life. I even got worried for a bit when I noticed i’ve been eating unhealthy yet i kept eating unhealthy foods. So thankful for GERD actually because now I eat vegetables and fruits. And now God is continually healing me.
Is crazy I have Gerd? How did you overcome that? I remember the time I committed my life to Christ, I used to fast a lot then 2020 it was a worst year when I start my Daniel fast that’s when all things start.. I was battling with overeating and gain a lot weight too before. now it came back again but I lose a lot weight not because of GERD BUT because I also workout and all. But to shorten it thought I still battle with GERD AND EPIGASTRIC. And it’s hard for me to fast.
@@rootedinchristwithberiya hi it might be that you’re still eating food that contains a lot of acid? It can be the cause. Dont miss a meal and you can also treat it by natural remedies like drinking ginger tea :)
I fasted a few times on food, but since I gave my life to Christ, I think I have made food the one thing I have control on myself. So I eat, and eat, and eat,.... and everynight I feel so bad and BEGGGG to God PLEASE take it away from me... but here I am... 10months further...same thing everyday, starting good, ending in regret... I need prayer...and help... I begin to feel disgusted about myself...
I am going through the same thing as you. To the point I’m beginning to be disgusted and hate myself. Yes we struggle with these things, and I’ve fasted also a few time with these. I fasted yesterday here I am the next day not knowing if God wanted me to continue to fast but I was hungry. And I just don’t know how to feel but know that, when God called you he knew everything we were going to do. Doesn’t mean that we intentionally sin, but to try our hardest to stray away from sin. I know hits hard . I cry a lot because of my idols. Scared I won’t ever change but remember this verse. Romans 8:32 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us ?
@@crystalo9489 I totally understand you... and I keep running in a cycle of fasting to hear God, feeling better in my body, feeling guilty for feeling better because I see that I look better and I fit my clothes again, and then eating again because of feeling guilty and feeling better and thinking I was using fasting to feel better,...dear God..it is EXHAUSTING
@@marijketimmermans3913 I know EXACTLY. How you feel it’s so exhausting I get so tired to the point I want to give up I always feel like no one understands , I feel disobedient when I don’t fast because for more than a day or when I feel I am supposed to it’s just a never ending cycle
@@marijketimmermans3913 I want to recommend a Channel called servants of Christ’s. We have revival prayer meetings every Friday. I don’t want you to be like this sister. We need to encourage each other sister I care for you. Please let’s pray together and ask God truly for strength in these areas of our lives. Watch some of her videos. We truly need to know how deep Gods love for us because the more we try I feel the more we fall, we should let God take control. But I’m saying all this I don’t know how to let go and let God, you know?
@@crystalo9489 you are totally right in this, and I KNOW this, but I just keep turning around. Maybe God wants to show something. I will look into it!!!
1: We become indifferent to the harmful effect that the food is having on the temple of the Holy Spirit: our body. 2: We become indifferent to the way we're stewarding our money as we spend unwisely on wrong foods. 3: We start using food as an escape from our problems, and a kind of medication for our sadness, or our misery, or our discomfort. 4: We stop enjoying food as a way of enjoying God. We stop tasting the goodness of God in the goodness of the food, and we start replacing the goodness of God WITH the goodness of the food.
It's rampant. The majority of people in the church are not fit and don't eat a proper diet. There has to be food EVERYWHERE, and it's not healthy stuff. Any meeting, group gathering, event the worst kind of food provided. Elders don't seem this is an issue and could be stumbling other brothers and sisters.
I’m called out, even with coffee & ice! I drink 2 large cold coffees everyday about 40 ounces and also eat tons of ice every single day. This is on top of my love for food. I kind of zone out because I’m stressed. I admit this to all so I can repent and turn from this.
Reading your comment as I sit here at the table eating ice. I eat multiple trays of ice daily, and I sometimes get cuts in my mouth because of it, that cause a lot of discomfort. I am anemic, however, and I am not good about taking iron supplements. I grabbed a few ice cubes and had the thought that perhaps I'm being gluttonous towards ice. Then I read your comment! I am going to pray for self control in that area as well as food!
This is me as well I'm ashamed to admit I dont like watching videos like this but I searched it up because I know it needs to be addressed Jesus please forgive me and help me to find my full enjoyment and satisfaction in you
Gluttony and obesity have their root in the rejection of God. God allowed Moses to see into the future of Israel and said this about them Deuteronomy 32:15 “But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked; you grew fat, stout, and sleek; then he forsook God who made him and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation." There is a forsaking of God that is united to obesity, which is the outcome of gluttony. This is the natural order of things when we no longer find our contentment in God and our aim is no longer to please God in all that we do.
Gluttony is a mother of deadly sins. Inability to control your self( self- control) ... which is addiction. Food addiction is something real. It's possible that you might be thinking about food more than God without even realizing it... or get more excited. Our God is a jealous God... we shouldn't put him second. Overeating causes harm to our bodies... that's God's temple. Fasting will look almost impossible... therefore giving power to the flesh. Etc I too struggle with this. Please pray for me
It can also stem from mental health problems, and even side effects of some medications, especially those meant to help with mental health because they increase your appetite, in particular I always noticed it was the fatty sugary foods I ended up wanting. Got off those poisons ( that's what I call those meds), am gradually losing some of the weight
I was just scrolling to UA-cam and when I found this, i know God is telling me something, Because I battle with binge eating. And now I have Acid Reflux.
I have used food for comfort in hard times I confess and ask for forgiveness. I always thought that idols were just things you neglect God to do or literally worship but man was I wrong. Please pray for my help overcoming these and could you guys give me some tips to overcome them.
Because it's not real food. Its genetically modified cheeses, meats, sauces, dough to make you crave more and get you to spend more money. Eat real foods. If it has more than 10 ingredients in it don't eat it. Learn to cook, there are plenty of cooking youtube channels. GOD BLESS
@@AdamBror The overweight person eating 2 double cheeseburgers at a restaurant because they’ve had a bad day is in just as much bondage as the fit, skinny person in the corner weighing their piece of grilled chicken before eating it. Paul Washer put it really well when he said, What do you think about most? What do you talk about most? What is your life centered around? That’s your God.” A person who is fixated on food and uses it as a means of control, whether that’s emotional eating or restrictive eating, is treating it as an idol. There’s actually a new eating disorder for people who are “clean” eaters, it’s called orthorexia nervosa.
@@AdamBror How do you know that bread, rice, or sweets are not honoring God’s temple? Does God ever say that eating bread or rice or sugar is a sin? No. The thing with nutrition is that one day a food is great for our health, the next day we find out it causes cancer. Trying to maintain perfect health through diet is sinking sand. I would say it all comes down to the heart of the issue (the conclusion Jesus always comes to). Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial….I will not be controlled by anything.” Trying to maintain the perfect diet is bondage. It distracts us off the mission we are called to in this world (sharing the gospel with all the world). We are to be wise about the choices we make based on the information we have, but our hearts are not to be controlled by anything in this world. I would say, eat foods that give you energy to complete the mission God has called you to in this world and keep your heart, mind, and life focused on Jesus, nothing else.
About 10 months ago I was obese. My doc had told me for a couple years that my cholesterol was going higher and was high she was even hinting towards medication. She didn't tell me I was pre-diabetic but I saw that my resting glucose was 113! That is pre-diabetic. Also my kidney function dropped 16 points in a year and I had an EGFR of 59.1 at the age of 38. My kidneys weren't doing too great the year before but I do believe my bout with covid months before (even though I wasn't hospitalized) didn't help things. This all scared me. The nephrologist my doc referred me to said I might still have normal kidney function but my creatinine was high which he expected since I was obese. Wow. So that kicked me into high gear. I had 6 months before my next blood test to confirm or rule out chronic kidney disease. I didn't want that diagnoses so I set a firm goal of losing weight in 6 months. In that time I lost 45 pounds. I prayed so hard and asked God to please heal me if it was covid that did the kidney damage but I also asked that he forgive my gluttony and if he saw it fit, to heal me even though I sinned. But I told him that I know our sins have consequences so I will accept whatever he chooses. I spent 6 months studying eating right for kidney, heart and diabetes. I went from obese to only 10 pounds over weight. My next doctor's appointment showed my cholesterol went from 230 down to 189. My resting glucose went from 113 to 96....it has gone down again since then to 90. My kidney function JUMPED higher than I thought possible to an EGFR of 84. That's still not perfect kidneys at the age of 38 but I will GLADLY and thankfully take it. My doc told me that I am a perfect example of what diet and healthy life style changes can do. Here's the thing though, God had a huge hand in that! She also told me, " I will stop bugging you about medication now". We must repent of our gluttony! Gluttony kills. It keeps us from being able to serve God. I fully believe Satan uses that to debilitated God's people so that their work is hindered. I didn't mention I have fibromyalgia so my pain was debilitating before dropping all of that weight. My feet would hurt so bad I was almost crawling to the bathroom at night. I had headaches and back aches that would make me cry and have to be in bed most of the day some days. I rarely feel debilitating pain and exhaustion anymore! Fibromyalgia doesn't seem to like sugar in my case. I still have 10-20 pounds to lose but I'm working on it. My husband and I decided to try for a baby because my health has improved so much. We got pregnant right after that appointment but lost the baby due to a partial molar pregnancy. I have a few months of monitoring a head of me before we can try again. Ideally I wanted to be that 20 pounds lighter before conceiving so I will use this time to better prepare the field as I pray for rain. My doc is all on board with us trying for a baby given my new health but I might have to wait a little longer because of this new complication. Maybe that few pounds of extra weight would have spelled disaster for me in advanced pregnancy. Who knows why God works as he does. Anyway, what blessings we might miss out on in life simply because we set food as our God can not be known. But turn back to God alone and see what happens to you!
@simplyosato1602 Thank you 😊 I'm currently 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant with a healthy baby girl. Should have her in my arms within a couple of weeks. My blood pressure and blood sugar have been good the whole pregnancy. I did manage to lose that extra 20 pounds before I got pregnant. Thank you for the encouraging comment 😊
God is sooooo goood. Thank you for responding to my comment as it has given me renewed hope too. I pray nothing disturbs your peace as what God has started in your life, he will complete it. I’m so happy for you 🙏🏽❤️🎉.
God told me to eat only vegetables and I obeyed him for 2 months but then I freak out during spiritual warfare and did what my mom said and thanks got so much worse and then I ate meat and I felt Him leave. how was certain that I'm doomed it's been 4 months... but my friend talked to me and he said he felt God physically leave him one time as well and that he was rescued by God and that maybe I could be too. we both had/have the same issues when He left. so I'm trying. and going back to what He told me. vegitables only. my parents and everyone told me I was being legalistic. but I wasn't. really hard fighting everyone and yourself... I hope He has mercy on me and returns to me.
@@Joseph__777 thankyou so much. He came back and took away the spiritual pain in my heart, and gave me joy , peace, and love. but I'm an idiot. so I lusted at some bad pictures I found on my computer... and the next day, the peace and joy was gone and my heart supernaturally hurts again. but I think He is being exceedingly gracious in sparing me the terrors that I went through before. and next church, the songs were all about losing his joy and asking to come back to Him. so I think He is offering that I can come back to Him. wow. I'm so dumb and evil. I finally understand why Paul said .. I do things I don't want to do... and "who will free me from this body of sin and death!?' thankyou for replying to me. this year has been radical for me. but I'm glad God decided to pluck me from the burn pile... cause I'd been an angry political debating "christian"... a shameful horrible witness. I'd gotten do bad, and FORGOT that guilt was the Holy Spirit trying to stop me. I'd been clueless. so, I'm hopeful and looking forward to Him coming back into my heart. I will be so much more careful this time.
@@VengefulPolititron I’ll be praying for u brother. I’m going through the same issue. I abused his grace last Saturday and I went back to porn stupidly after being 30 days clean. And after that I’ve just felt nothing but anxiety and demons have been attacking . I hope God comes back in my life
@@mariluvchrist2593 dang. yeah it's terrible. not fun. I'll pray for you too. I can't believe I'm so dumb. Bible says... "mercy triumphs over judgement". so i have some hope .. He chastens (disciples) those He loves, as sons.. so they can belong to Him. so.. it seems like we wouldn't be getting discipline unless He cared for us, and wanted to train us into good followers.
Why does food have to be so addictive man. I convince myself most of the time that food is a gift from God and I should enjoy what’s He’s given me (what my mum told me when i was going through a dark time with the guilt of food). I find it hard to enjoy food now since it’s a literal offence to me right now and then I feel guilty of not being grateful that I’m eating because I already know that I’ll, most likely, eat more later on. It’s frustrating, I’m so tired of it but it’s so hard to let go for some reason. Im just praying for help. Truly. I feel so helpless and like I can resist and stop but I chose not to
Food is rubbish at soothing your soul, I know it well! Help us Lord, to get nourishment for our bodies in a way that honours you and keeps us fit for your service. We need to recognise the Holy Spirit is the best source of help and comfort in times of distress. Forgive us our past sin when we have turned good food into a bad idol and help us to truly repent and let this idol come crashing down, never to be rebuilt. Amen
brilliant video. I have a great physique, ive competed on state but I have a terrible addiction to eating so much I feel sooo slow and bloated. I pray for all of you suffering with the evil spirit of Gluttony
we should should food and folliw it with blessing and thanksgivings but for needful reasons for the body, but to become overpowerd by it is idolatry i need prayer unto Godbour Lord Jesus CHrist for this as well be encouraged u guys
I do not rly know what gluttony is and I Did not eat food like I use to and my health become bad I do not see food I idol I do even eat that much I feel bad when I eat even a little can you pray for me so I can understand it
I haven't eaten since the afternoon yesterday, it's 1pm here and I got food. I pray and start to eat and I feel I have done something wrong. I don't understand, I wasn't fasting or anything, I was planning on doing that at an appropriate time when I'm not around people everyday in the future. what's the problem?
@@labronkatz5942 I have a similar thing happen to me brother. I will pray for you. Also, this book has really been helping me so far as I have read it: Living Loved: Awakening Your Heart To The Father's Love by Ryan Bruss. May God bless you.
In paradise you can eat without any worry about overeating..... why? there is no killing there ,use the same principle here and you will create paradise right here.pleasing to the Creator without any doubt.
Lord Jesus govern all my pleasures. I need contentment in you again. Please help. I've been comfort eating and having nasty sexual dreams. It's gotten worse the last year. I got saved 3 years ago. If you read this please pray for me. I've been convicted over my diet recently and on Friday I broke. And just now I talked myself into a milkshake and then this video popped up. But the last 6 months or do I've been so agitated at people and I'm tapering off heavy duty pills for 3 years now and it's gotten real bad and the voices in my head are so rough and I've been malcontent and when I heard him say that when this starts happening then it's almost too late or something like that and it scared me.....what do I do? Jesus I'm so sorry where you have not been everything in any part of my life. I need your help please take control. I surrender. If you read this please pray for me

Hi Christain, Let me tell you what the Lord has done for me in other areas of my life. JESUS has delivered me from the spirit of Pornography.For more than 15 years, I have been addicted to pornography and masturbation. I tried my hardest to stop but I would soon get right back to it until God completely delivered me . One night I cried to God that I dont want to watch porn anymore and ask him to remove the desire and GOD removed the desire .I no longer watch pornography nor do I want to anymore . To the glory of God in almost 2yrs , I have been free from Pornography. That is not all.Next, God delivered me from masturbation, then delivered me from fornication and adultery. Finally save me from nasty sexual dreams . My prayer life is stronger than ever . ASK GOD FOR HELP. AS HE DELIVERED ME FROM THE OPPRESSION OF THESE VICES , HE WILL DELIVER YOU AS WELL. THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE. I SOUGHT THE LORD AND HE ANSWERED ME AND HE DELIVERED ME FROM ALL MY FEARS This verse is true for me and if you look to God for help , you would His mighty hands save you as he saved me . NO PROBLEM IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR GOD TO FIX.
Cry out man!Cry out and be willing for him to give you instructions. Mzke sure that you have been baptized inthe name of Jesus Christ and recrived the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of spesking in another tongue as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:38, Acts 19:2-7). Ipra6 that the Lord Jesus gives you victory over all your battles as you submit to him and seek to honor him! Prayer and fasting is s good start to break every yoke or habit or attitude that is seeking to weight you down (Isaiah 58:5-10).
What if I'm trying to get my calories up to build muscle for God, I'm asking fellow and I'm sick of it. I'm thinking of joining the army and SWAT when I'm out, and I have this strong desire or calling in me to protect. How can I do that if I'm not getting bigger, ya get what I'm saying. Like as much as I like to eat it sucks being full and let's say I add like two slices of bread to a meal of protein, isn't that a form of self control? I'm trying to grow my body for protection as for the help of others and I desire to glorify God with my body?
Good video. Try Keto. I am old and weigh what I weighed in college. At one time, I was quite heavy. May Jesus bless us all especially those reading this video,
Smoking is pleasure. It takes the place of God. People smoke out of stress and other unnecessary reasons. The reasoning is, why would you rely on something else other than God to remedy your stress? It has taken the place of God, who is all we need. Idolatry is anything that distracts us from God or gets in the way between us and God or anything that takes the place of God's goodness and help.
Dianne Oehman because smoking for most is called a stress reliever, but it’s a crutch because we should rely on God for relief of our anxieties and worries. I’m a smoker but I understand why I need to stop it
So true. People have created idols of smoking... Some other idols are extreme retail shopping, extreme exercising at the gym and even work at times....
@@lovefelix1566 I mention more sports, tv series, music and video games actually probably a lot of things in this world have become idols, some more than others
Eli Pratt, 1. Enjoying food means eat every delicious food whether it is good or bad. Now a day we have artificial food made up in factories. Which lead us to bad health. 2. Enjoying stomach means to run it smoothly giving it rest not all time filling it with all types of food. 2.1 Biological it is good to be hungry because it cause toxic to flush. 2.2 Biblical it is good to be hungry because it cause us to remind that we have one of the expression of the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which self control. For more clarification write me on mrjayantsinghbisht@gmail.com Looking forward to hear from you.
The words sādhūnāṁ hṛṣīkeśānuvartinām are very significant. Sādhu means “a saintly person.” But who is a saintly person? A saintly person is he who follows the path of rendering service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hṛṣīkeśa. In the Nārada-pañcarātra it is said, hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate: the process of rendering favorable service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead with one’s senses is called bhakti, or devotional service. Therefore, why should a person who is already engaged in the service of the Lord engage himself in personal sense gratification? Why should he unnecessarily engage, like the animals, in the bodily concept of life? An animal thinks that the body of another animal is his food; therefore, in the bodily concept of life, one animal attacks another. A human being, especially one who is a devotee of the Lord, should not act like this. A sādhu, a saintly devotee, is not supposed to kill animals unnecessarily. Hari Om Tat Sat Om namo Sri Sri Nityananda Gauranga Hara Hari Haribol namah. Bhagavad Gita 9,26 Sri Krsna says: ,,If one offers to Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or even water, I delightfully partake of that article offered with love by My devotee in pure consciousness''
I’m a devout Muslim and I believe Islam and Christianity promote as virtuous many shared inward values and outward behaviours. The good Pastor has done a great job at articulating this particular aspect of universal Divine Guidance for the betterment of the Sons Adam and Daughters of Eve, may peace be upon them and upon you all.
Wanted to tell everyone that JESUS loves you all and that JESUS CHRIST is KING🙌🙌💓 Those who wanna accept JESUS as LORD and SAVIOUR here is the PRAYER of SALVATION. According to [Romans 10 v 9 ] "O Lord God, l believe with all my heart in JESUS CHRIST, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He's alive today. I confess with My mouth that JESUS CHRIST is the LORD of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, l have eternal life; lam born again. Thank you LORD for saving my soul! Iam now a child of GOD. Blessed Holy Spirit, l receive you into my heart now in the Name of JESUS CHRIST. Amen Hallelujah!" 🙏 CONGRATULATIONS BELOVED 👏😘
Shortest answer: gluttony is the only sin the human eye can see. If the doctor calls you obese, or a random person can justifiably call you a big fatso, you are a glutton. This is a sin science can verify through scales and your BMI. the sin of gluttony will be worn as a spare tire around your stomach, and flab on your arms and legs. What does repenting look like? Results. Only results...actually dropping the weight and getting healthy and fit...constitutes repentance for this one. If ya don't weigh less this week than you did last week, your sin remains.
There is so much wrong with your comment. Gluttony is wrong, but man you are off. BMI is a joke, don't use it. BMI says a healthy weight for a 6 foot man is 136-184. 136 isn't healthy, that's sickly. Secondly, gluttony is a sin of the heart as it relates to idolatry. If a person changed their habits and stops being gluttonous, but don't lose weight in a week, their sin doesn't remain. They've resolved the sin in their heart and have changed their gluttonous habbits. There are also load of other reasons why even people who exercise and eat healthy can still be a tad overweight due to medical issues. Be careful when trying to instruct others
I seen somebody say the other day “if you can’t fast from it you’re a slave to it”
👏👏👏👏👏
Very convicting. I am definitely a slave to food and soda! I pray God will deliver me from my enslavement.
Stephanie A. He will sis 🙏🏾❤️
Me too
I think i love food more than God 😔.
I just can’t control it
I’m like 5’7 and 138 pounds i gotta loose like 30 pounds
Please pray 4 me to stop binging
That‘s a good one!
Pray for me guys. I admit food has become an idol in my life. I repent of this sin, Lord forgive me. I only accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior a few years ago, and my whole life I've been stress eating due to unhappiness at home. It's a very hard habit to break, please pray for me. I want to worship my Jesus Christ and my Jesus alone. This kills me to admit but change starts with confession. God bless you all.

My mother is the same way. You know people find food as a comforter when it’s not meant to be anything other than a nutrient and fuel for our bodies.
The food that comforts us is our spiritual food that is the word of God, the only real comforter there is. So I can see how food could become an idol to us because we’re in a sense trading the authenticity of Gods comfort in for a false comforter (food).
I have done this myself and right now doing this with alcoholism. I am a gluttonous also but we can overcome it friend
Would yous please pray for me too, and I will remember yous in my prayers also. I have a problem with food, I over eat all the time, I really need to loose weight. My weight is really getting me down, and I know this will sound pathetic to most, buts my weight is preventing me from going back to my church and even getting baptized because I just feel gross.
@@jesussaves4634 I know the struggle...lets all keep each other in prayer. We shall overcome! Blessings!
@@2edged955 🙏 will be praying, yes we shall!!! God bless
i have the same struggle too...
I am an overeater. I have struggled with a food addiction for over 20 years. I am obese and suffer various illnesses because of it including diabetes. I know the Bible condemns gluttony, but food gives me such pleasure. Please pray for me to overcome.
Sean Brunson try fasting ! Ask God to bless you with the strength and self control to do it💞 God wants what’s best for us and I think that might help. Praying and fasting ! It doesn’t even have to be a whole day but seek God for what he would have you to do
The Bible doesn’t really condemn gluttony bro at least in the New Testament I’m positive but it does condemn idolatry. Pray and fast on it bro I’m an overeater that wants to lose weight as well
Go to www.settingcaptivesfree.com they have a weight loss course. It is free, no spam. I am taking it now.
Ask the Lord to eat with you and that’ll set it right! ❤️🙏🕊🔑😇👑🌇
Hey Sean, how are you? Do you still struggle with overeating?
Whoever reads this please pray for my soul and my standing with GOD
Of course
How are you now ?
I'll pray for you
I prayed for you Blake. You are not alone.
If you believe in the gospel (Jesus, The Son Of God, died on the Cross and bore the wrath of God owed to us as sinful men) and repent (turn away from sin and change your attitudes to see it like God does) and continue to repent, use this as a guide
I've binge eaten and relied on food to relieve my anxiety and stress. I've gained over 30 pounds and my health is at risk. Please pray that I may rely on Him instead of food and that I may lose the unhealthy weight 🙏
I struggle with this too brother. I pray you may overcome this unhealthy desire. Have faith in the Lord! He will take care of you. (:
Trust in God more to help you with your anxiety than food He will guide you and give you the strength you need
One word: mukbang. Gluttony on a massive culturally-acceptable scale.
Yes. Gluttony is rampant in America! Just look at all the restaurants. A new one opening every time you look up! And then of course greed for money takes advantage of the greed for food. Lord, help me to find my contentment in You!
@@CLCooper777 it is an acceptable sin even at Church pot lucks
I have been saying this for the longest !
Super size for a dollar. What a pyramid scheme
Wow, God reveled this to me a long time ago
Dang listening to the first 7 minutes I was like noooo I don’t want to give up the enjoyment of food, then a lot of repentance of not wanting him alone/valuing my enjoyment more than getting closer to him, then I was trying to justify myself/thoughts by thinking I am enjoying God through food, food is not my idol necessarily ~.~ then when he began to list the four signs... and Holy Spirit STRONGLY convinced me from the very first sign... Thank you Lord for drawing me closer to you and showing me the path to getting closer to you. Thank you pastor John for faithfully working in God 🔥 Hallelujah!
I ask the Lord to eat with me
5th sign is when you can't give up food to fast for the Lord
true 😐
Yes, but we can fast in other ways
Ask the Lord to eat with you and that’ll set it right! ❤️🙏🕊🔑😇👑🌇
It pretty much means what to give up to put Him first
@@bean7496 biblically speaking, the only definition of a fast is to fast from food. There is nothing wrong with abstaining from other things that are a distraction to our walk with God. But calling that fasting is a deception of the 21st century American church.
Please pray for our children. They are so susceptible to this. The media is so flooded with food advertising. Most kids usually don't have the discernment to recognize this dangerous trap.
I know you posted this 5 yrs ago, but thank you for making it still available. I have a problem with food. I've been praying to God for months. I now have my answer, and I thank God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, for putting this in my feed. Amen
I struggle with fasting I think that's a great indication
Everyone struggles with that in the beginning. Pray for God to help you. :)
The Angry Angel yeah I will I love fasting just wish I could get past a couple days
I honestly have never fasted more than one day.
Remember you can fast food groups, sweets, the internet, etc. Does not specifically have to be food.
I gave the suggestion to start off somewhere.
Some people are sensitive in the beginning, I've heard of people fainting bc of fasting.
truthseeker89 for life Is it possible to start with closing your window of eating time? Eat only between 12p-8pm, then between 2p-8p.... Then progress. God honors sacrifice. It may start with sacrificing breakfast then lunch...and so on! NO ONE enjoys denying the flesh. It cries out for what it wants.
Be encouraged. We are all dying to the deeds of our flesh if we want to live as Christ and for Him.
Has anyones desire for food changed as they started getting closer or spiritually growing in Christ?
Reuben Dean I gave my life to God, and afterwards lost 100 pounds. I wouldn’t necessarily say all of the desires I have with food changed, but I’m no longer slave to the desires that have remained. By the grace of God, he’s given me the strength and wisdom needed to say, “no.”
Reuben Dean yes I hate myself when I indulge in it :(
I realized I had a problem with food when I could not do the Daniel fast because I could not stop eating...For me to fast, so as to bring my body into submission, the Holy Spirit has to really help me...
@ Reuben can you explain how your desire changed?
Same, Jesus told me to fast and I couldn’t and can’t do it. Feels like I’m spiraling downward, my mind is clogged
some healthy conviction here...
Thank you Jesus

I think me having GERD is the way God rebuked me because I kept on eating unhealthy food in my college life. I even got worried for a bit when I noticed i’ve been eating unhealthy yet i kept eating unhealthy foods. So thankful for GERD actually because now I eat vegetables and fruits. And now God is continually healing me.
Is crazy I have Gerd? How did you overcome that? I remember the time I committed my life to Christ, I used to fast a lot then 2020 it was a worst year when I start my Daniel fast that’s when all things start.. I was battling with overeating and gain a lot weight too before. now it came back again but I lose a lot weight not because of GERD BUT because I also workout and all. But to shorten it thought I still battle with GERD AND EPIGASTRIC. And it’s hard for me to fast.
@@rootedinchristwithberiya hi it might be that you’re still eating food that contains a lot of acid? It can be the cause. Dont miss a meal and you can also treat it by natural remedies like drinking ginger tea :)
This is my current struggle. Please pray for me. I'm praying and working with my pastor. It feels as I made progress, the challenges became harder.
Small constant daily steps is very helpful. Your struggle is real, yet, you can plug along. Please don't give up!!
I fasted a few times on food, but since I gave my life to Christ, I think I have made food the one thing I have control on myself. So I eat, and eat, and eat,.... and everynight I feel so bad and BEGGGG to God PLEASE take it away from me... but here I am... 10months further...same thing everyday, starting good, ending in regret... I need prayer...and help... I begin to feel disgusted about myself...
I am going through the same thing as you. To the point I’m beginning to be disgusted and hate myself. Yes we struggle with these things, and I’ve fasted also a few time with these. I fasted yesterday here I am the next day not knowing if God wanted me to continue to fast but I was hungry. And I just don’t know how to feel but know that, when God called you he knew everything we were going to do. Doesn’t mean that we intentionally sin, but to try our hardest to stray away from sin. I know hits hard . I cry a lot because of my idols. Scared I won’t ever change but remember this verse.
Romans 8:32
And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us ?
@@crystalo9489 I totally understand you... and I keep running in a cycle of fasting to hear God, feeling better in my body, feeling guilty for feeling better because I see that I look better and I fit my clothes again, and then eating again because of feeling guilty and feeling better and thinking I was using fasting to feel better,...dear God..it is EXHAUSTING
@@marijketimmermans3913 I know EXACTLY. How you feel it’s so exhausting I get so tired to the point I want to give up I always feel like no one understands , I feel disobedient when I don’t fast because for more than a day or when I feel I am supposed to it’s just a never ending cycle
@@marijketimmermans3913 I want to recommend a Channel called servants of Christ’s. We have revival prayer meetings every Friday. I don’t want you to be like this sister. We need to encourage each other sister I care for you. Please let’s pray together and ask God truly for strength in these areas of our lives. Watch some of her videos. We truly need to know how deep Gods love for us because the more we try I feel the more we fall, we should let God take control. But I’m saying all this I don’t know how to let go and let God, you know?
@@crystalo9489 you are totally right in this, and I KNOW this, but I just keep turning around. Maybe God wants to show something. I will look into it!!!
1: We become indifferent to the harmful effect that the food is having on the temple of the Holy Spirit: our body.
2: We become indifferent to the way we're stewarding our money as we spend unwisely on wrong foods.
3: We start using food as an escape from our problems, and a kind of medication for our sadness, or our misery, or our discomfort.
4: We stop enjoying food as a way of enjoying God. We stop tasting the goodness of God in the goodness of the food, and we start replacing the goodness of God WITH the goodness of the food.
Thank you!
I think this is one big sin that many Christians in America seem to disregard
It's rampant. The majority of people in the church are not fit and don't eat a proper diet. There has to be food EVERYWHERE, and it's not healthy stuff. Any meeting, group gathering, event the worst kind of food provided. Elders don't seem this is an issue and could be stumbling other brothers and sisters.
I AM COVETING , PLEASE PRAY 4 ME :(
Love the way he explains things!!
I’m called out, even with coffee & ice! I drink 2 large cold coffees everyday about 40 ounces and also eat tons of ice every single day. This is on top of my love for food. I kind of zone out because I’m stressed. I admit this to all so I can repent and turn from this.
@Driiii You might want to check whether you are anemic. Bring low on iron causes a craving of ice
@@lovelybadger3322 thanks so much they did check and I’m not it’s very odd craving indeed.
Reading your comment as I sit here at the table eating ice. I eat multiple trays of ice daily, and I sometimes get cuts in my mouth because of it, that cause a lot of discomfort. I am anemic, however, and I am not good about taking iron supplements. I grabbed a few ice cubes and had the thought that perhaps I'm being gluttonous towards ice. Then I read your comment! I am going to pray for self control in that area as well as food!
Excellent question, and an even better response. Thank you.
I check-marked all evidences mentioned that prove that contentment in food is taking the place of contentment in God. Please pray for me.
This is me as well I'm ashamed to admit I dont like watching videos like this but I searched it up because I know it needs to be addressed Jesus please forgive me and help me to find my full enjoyment and satisfaction in you
This video came up randomly on my feed
Brilliantly and wisely explained!! Thank you!
Gluttony and obesity have their root in the rejection of God. God allowed Moses to see into the future of Israel and said this about them Deuteronomy 32:15 “But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked; you grew fat, stout, and sleek; then he forsook God who made him and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation." There is a forsaking of God that is united to obesity, which is the outcome of gluttony. This is the natural order of things when we no longer find our contentment in God and our aim is no longer to please God in all that we do.
Gluttony is a mother of deadly sins. Inability to control your self( self- control) ... which is addiction. Food addiction is something real. It's possible that you might be thinking about food more than God without even realizing it... or get more excited. Our God is a jealous God... we shouldn't put him second. Overeating causes harm to our bodies... that's God's temple. Fasting will look almost impossible... therefore giving power to the flesh.
Etc
I too struggle with this. Please pray for me
Short term fasting helps me a lot. It's kind of like practicing. It works for me . Please don't give up!
It can also stem from mental health problems, and even side effects of some medications, especially those meant to help with mental health because they increase your appetite, in particular I always noticed it was the fatty sugary foods I ended up wanting. Got off those poisons ( that's what I call those meds), am gradually losing some of the weight
A wonderful message! Thanks for this reminder Pastor John!
Thank you Pastor John and Desiring God!!!

I have used food for comfort in hard times I confess and ask for forgiveness. I always thought that idols were just things you neglect God to do or literally worship but man was I wrong. Please pray for my help overcoming these and could you guys give me some tips to overcome them.
Dominos has that gluttony when i eat some pizza where i never get full and want more
Because it's not real food. Its genetically modified cheeses, meats, sauces, dough to make you crave more and get you to spend more money. Eat real foods. If it has more than 10 ingredients in it don't eat it. Learn to cook, there are plenty of cooking youtube channels. GOD BLESS

Interesting. I will do that.
Healthy food can become an idol just as much as unhealthy food can.
yess!
How?
@@AdamBror The overweight person eating 2 double cheeseburgers at a restaurant because they’ve had a bad day is in just as much bondage as the fit, skinny person in the corner weighing their piece of grilled chicken before eating it.
Paul Washer put it really well when he said, What do you think about most? What do you talk about most? What is your life centered around? That’s your God.”
A person who is fixated on food and uses it as a means of control, whether that’s emotional eating or restrictive eating, is treating it as an idol.
There’s actually a new eating disorder for people who are “clean” eaters, it’s called orthorexia nervosa.
@@Serve24 I'm struggling bc I don't want to sin by eating bread, rice or sweets, what if it is not honoring God's temple.
@@AdamBror How do you know that bread, rice, or sweets are not honoring God’s temple? Does God ever say that eating bread or rice or sugar is a sin? No. The thing with nutrition is that one day a food is great for our health, the next day we find out it causes cancer. Trying to maintain perfect health through diet is sinking sand.
I would say it all comes down to the heart of the issue (the conclusion Jesus always comes to). Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial….I will not be controlled by anything.”
Trying to maintain the perfect diet is bondage. It distracts us off the mission we are called to in this world (sharing the gospel with all the world). We are to be wise about the choices we make based on the information we have, but our hearts are not to be controlled by anything in this world.
I would say, eat foods that give you energy to complete the mission God has called you to in this world and keep your heart, mind, and life focused on Jesus, nothing else.
Oh this is a subject almost no one touches
Are we okay whether we have food or not? Do we live to eat or eat to live?
About 10 months ago I was obese. My doc had told me for a couple years that my cholesterol was going higher and was high she was even hinting towards medication. She didn't tell me I was pre-diabetic but I saw that my resting glucose was 113! That is pre-diabetic. Also my kidney function dropped 16 points in a year and I had an EGFR of 59.1 at the age of 38. My kidneys weren't doing too great the year before but I do believe my bout with covid months before (even though I wasn't hospitalized) didn't help things. This all scared me. The nephrologist my doc referred me to said I might still have normal kidney function but my creatinine was high which he expected since I was obese. Wow. So that kicked me into high gear. I had 6 months before my next blood test to confirm or rule out chronic kidney disease. I didn't want that diagnoses so I set a firm goal of losing weight in 6 months. In that time I lost 45 pounds. I prayed so hard and asked God to please heal me if it was covid that did the kidney damage but I also asked that he forgive my gluttony and if he saw it fit, to heal me even though I sinned. But I told him that I know our sins have consequences so I will accept whatever he chooses. I spent 6 months studying eating right for kidney, heart and diabetes. I went from obese to only 10 pounds over weight. My next doctor's appointment showed my cholesterol went from 230 down to 189. My resting glucose went from 113 to 96....it has gone down again since then to 90. My kidney function JUMPED higher than I thought possible to an EGFR of 84. That's still not perfect kidneys at the age of 38 but I will GLADLY and thankfully take it. My doc told me that I am a perfect example of what diet and healthy life style changes can do. Here's the thing though, God had a huge hand in that! She also told me, " I will stop bugging you about medication now". We must repent of our gluttony! Gluttony kills. It keeps us from being able to serve God. I fully believe Satan uses that to debilitated God's people so that their work is hindered. I didn't mention I have fibromyalgia so my pain was debilitating before dropping all of that weight. My feet would hurt so bad I was almost crawling to the bathroom at night. I had headaches and back aches that would make me cry and have to be in bed most of the day some days. I rarely feel debilitating pain and exhaustion anymore! Fibromyalgia doesn't seem to like sugar in my case. I still have 10-20 pounds to lose but I'm working on it. My husband and I decided to try for a baby because my health has improved so much. We got pregnant right after that appointment but lost the baby due to a partial molar pregnancy. I have a few months of monitoring a head of me before we can try again. Ideally I wanted to be that 20 pounds lighter before conceiving so I will use this time to better prepare the field as I pray for rain. My doc is all on board with us trying for a baby given my new health but I might have to wait a little longer because of this new complication. Maybe that few pounds of extra weight would have spelled disaster for me in advanced pregnancy. Who knows why God works as he does. Anyway, what blessings we might miss out on in life simply because we set food as our God can not be known. But turn back to God alone and see what happens to you!
I pray that you hit all your goals and got your testimony a year later 🥹❤️
@simplyosato1602 Thank you 😊 I'm currently 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant with a healthy baby girl. Should have her in my arms within a couple of weeks.

God told me to eat only vegetables and I obeyed him for 2 months but then I freak out during spiritual warfare and did what my mom said and thanks got so much worse and then I ate meat and I felt Him leave.
how was certain that I'm doomed it's been 4 months...
but my friend talked to me and he said he felt God physically leave him one time as well and that he was rescued by God and that maybe I could be too.
we both had/have the same issues when He left.
so I'm trying. and going back to what He told me. vegitables only.
my parents and everyone told me I was being legalistic.
but I wasn't.
really hard fighting everyone and yourself...

thankyou so much.
He came back and took away the spiritual pain in my heart, and gave me joy , peace, and love.
but I'm an idiot.
so I lusted at some bad pictures I found on my computer...
and the next day, the peace and joy was gone and my heart supernaturally hurts again.
but I think He is being exceedingly gracious in sparing me the terrors that I went through before.
and next church, the songs were all about losing his joy and asking to come back to Him.
so I think He is offering that I can come back to Him.
wow. I'm so dumb and evil.
I finally understand why Paul said .. I do things I don't want to do...
and "who will free me from this body of sin and death!?'
thankyou for replying to me.
this year has been radical for me.
but I'm glad God decided to pluck me from the burn pile... cause I'd been an angry political debating "christian"... a shameful horrible witness. I'd gotten do bad, and FORGOT that guilt was the Holy Spirit trying to stop me.

Why does food have to be so addictive man. I convince myself most of the time that food is a gift from God and I should enjoy what’s He’s given me (what my mum told me when i was going through a dark time with the guilt of food). I find it hard to enjoy food now since it’s a literal offence to me right now and then I feel guilty of not being grateful that I’m eating because I already know that I’ll, most likely, eat more later on. It’s frustrating, I’m so tired of it but it’s so hard to let go for some reason. Im just praying for help. Truly. I feel so helpless and like I can resist and stop but I chose not to
Food is rubbish at soothing your soul, I know it well! Help us Lord, to get nourishment for our bodies in a way that honours you and keeps us fit for your service. We need to recognise the Holy Spirit is the best source of help and comfort in times of distress. Forgive us our past sin when we have turned good food into a bad idol and help us to truly repent and let this idol come crashing down, never to be rebuilt. Amen

Hi Christain, Let me tell you what the Lord has done for me in other areas of my life. JESUS has delivered me from the spirit of Pornography.For more than 15 years, I have been addicted to pornography and masturbation. I tried my hardest to stop but I would soon get right back to it until God completely delivered me . One night I cried to God that I dont want to watch porn anymore and ask him to remove the desire and GOD removed the desire .I no longer watch pornography nor do I want to anymore .
To the glory of God in almost 2yrs , I have been free from Pornography.
That is not all.Next, God delivered me from masturbation, then delivered me from fornication and adultery. Finally save me from nasty sexual dreams .
My prayer life is stronger than ever . ASK GOD FOR HELP. AS HE DELIVERED ME FROM THE OPPRESSION OF THESE VICES , HE WILL DELIVER YOU AS WELL. THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE. I SOUGHT THE LORD AND HE ANSWERED ME AND HE DELIVERED ME FROM ALL MY FEARS
This verse is true for me and if you look to God for help , you would His mighty hands save you as he saved me . NO PROBLEM IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR GOD TO FIX.
Cry out man!Cry out and be willing for him to give you instructions. Mzke sure that you have been baptized inthe name of Jesus Christ and recrived the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of spesking in another tongue as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:38, Acts 19:2-7).

Prayer and fasting is s good start to break every yoke or habit or attitude that is seeking to weight you down (Isaiah 58:5-10).
Ask the Lord to eat with you and that’ll set it right! ❤️🙏🕊🔑😇👑🌇
Praise be to Jesus our Lord and Savior ❤
wow
DANG that spoke
What if I'm trying to get my calories up to build muscle for God, I'm asking fellow and I'm sick of it. I'm thinking of joining the army and SWAT when I'm out, and I have this strong desire or calling in me to protect. How can I do that if I'm not getting bigger, ya get what I'm saying. Like as much as I like to eat it sucks being full and let's say I add like two slices of bread to a meal of protein, isn't that a form of self control? I'm trying to grow my body for protection as for the help of others and I desire to glorify God with my body?
Just to add, it’s not a question. I NEED IT AND I MEAN IT, I NEED TO GLORIFY GOD WITH MY BODY
Keep asking God if he wants u to protect
Good video. Try Keto. I am old and weigh what I weighed in college. At one time, I was quite heavy. May Jesus bless us all especially those reading this video,
There is such a thing as Binge-eating disorder. And there are medical and psychiatric treatment for it.
The children of Yemen are starving.
i know Christ.
The Bible does speak of gluttony in the New Testament
In Jesus name AMEN❤️🙏🏼
Now please explain how smoking is also idolatry...
Smoking is pleasure. It takes the place of God. People smoke out of stress and other unnecessary reasons. The reasoning is, why would you rely on something else other than God to remedy your stress? It has taken the place of God, who is all we need. Idolatry is anything that distracts us from God or gets in the way between us and God or anything that takes the place of God's goodness and help.

Smoking, just as gluttony is idolatry cuz your placing your "temple/body" in harm's way when you smoke or overeat.
Dianne Oehman because smoking for most is called a stress reliever, but it’s a crutch because we should rely on God for relief of our anxieties and worries. I’m a smoker but I understand why I need to stop it
So true. People have created idols of smoking... Some other idols are extreme retail shopping, extreme exercising at the gym and even work at times....
@@lovefelix1566 I mention more sports, tv series, music and video games actually probably a lot of things in this world have become idols, some more than others

Either we will enjoy food or enjoy our stomach.
Jayant Singh Bisht can u explain this comment bc I honestly don't get it
Eli Pratt,
1. Enjoying food means eat every delicious food whether it is good or bad.
Now a day we have artificial food made up in factories. Which lead us to bad health.
2. Enjoying stomach means to run it smoothly giving it rest not all time filling it with all types of food.
2.1 Biological it is good to be hungry because it cause toxic to flush.
2.2 Biblical it is good to be hungry because it cause us to remind that we have one of the expression of the fruit of the Holy Spirit, which self control.
For more clarification write me on mrjayantsinghbisht@gmail.com
Looking forward to hear from you.

Is it a sin to eat too much food?
Yes
The words sādhūnāṁ hṛṣīkeśānuvartinām are very significant. Sādhu means “a saintly person.” But who is a saintly person? A saintly person is he who follows the path of rendering service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hṛṣīkeśa. In the Nārada-pañcarātra it is said, hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate: the process of rendering favorable service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead with one’s senses is called bhakti, or devotional service. Therefore, why should a person who is already engaged in the service of the Lord engage himself in personal sense gratification? Why should he unnecessarily engage, like the animals, in the bodily concept of life? An animal thinks that the body of another animal is his food; therefore, in the bodily concept of life, one animal attacks another. A human being, especially one who is a devotee of the Lord, should not act like this. A sādhu, a saintly devotee, is not supposed to kill animals unnecessarily. Hari Om Tat Sat Om namo Sri Sri Nityananda Gauranga Hara Hari Haribol namah. Bhagavad Gita 9,26 Sri Krsna says: ,,If one offers to Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or even water, I delightfully partake of that article offered with love by My devotee in pure consciousness''
I struggle seeing glutton s allowed to lead small groups

I’m a devout Muslim and I believe Islam and Christianity promote as virtuous many shared inward values and outward behaviours. The good Pastor has done a great job at articulating this particular aspect of universal Divine Guidance for the betterment of the Sons Adam and Daughters of Eve, may peace be upon them and upon you all.
Jesus is the truth, the way, and the life. Repent and put your trust in Him alone for your salvation🙏.
So we can’t eat junk food?
Says who
Jesus paid the price for our sins so we wouldn’t have to! So trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior. Also repent so you don’t perish!
Food is only ONE of many on the list ... Rom 8
👀
Wanted to tell everyone that JESUS loves you all and that JESUS CHRIST is KING🙌🙌💓
Those who wanna accept JESUS as LORD and SAVIOUR here is the PRAYER of SALVATION.
According to [Romans 10 v 9 ]
"O Lord God, l believe with all my heart in JESUS CHRIST, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He's alive today. I confess with My mouth that JESUS CHRIST is the LORD of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, l have eternal life; lam born again. Thank you LORD for saving my soul! Iam now a child of GOD.
Blessed Holy Spirit, l receive you into my heart now in the Name of JESUS CHRIST. Amen
Hallelujah!" 🙏
CONGRATULATIONS BELOVED 👏😘
But how much food is considered gluttony?lol
Eating past being full is gluttony
Doing that regularly will turn so someone into a glutton
Dont like no verses showed
Someone needs to say outright, glutteny Is a sin. Stop doing it.
Gluttony overeating
Shortest answer: gluttony is the only sin the human eye can see. If the doctor calls you obese, or a random person can justifiably call you a big fatso, you are a glutton. This is a sin science can verify through scales and your BMI. the sin of gluttony will be worn as a spare tire around your stomach, and flab on your arms and legs. What does repenting look like? Results. Only results...actually dropping the weight and getting healthy and fit...constitutes repentance for this one. If ya don't weigh less this week than you did last week, your sin remains.
There is so much wrong with your comment. Gluttony is wrong, but man you are off. BMI is a joke, don't use it. BMI says a healthy weight for a 6 foot man is 136-184. 136 isn't healthy, that's sickly. Secondly, gluttony is a sin of the heart as it relates to idolatry. If a person changed their habits and stops being gluttonous, but don't lose weight in a week, their sin doesn't remain. They've resolved the sin in their heart and have changed their gluttonous habbits. There are also load of other reasons why even people who exercise and eat healthy can still be a tad overweight due to medical issues. Be careful when trying to instruct others
