You are what you eat.

Have you ever heard that statement before;

Well, that is completely true.

Because whatever it is that you put into your body;

Rest assured that your body will react to it, good or bad.

 

Obviously, we are organic vessels whose bodies react to the sun and moon, water and food.

The woman’s lunar cycle, the vitamin E of the sun, and the hunger and thirst that prove how sensitive our bodies are.

 

It has also been proven that all of those chemicals that are being put into the body have consequences also.

There are some medicines that can be used for the positive, and others that we have seen over and over, are only negative to our bodies.

 

 

So…

Why would we think that any of the information, philosophy or theology that our bodies;

Read – See – or – Listen to, be any different?

 

             • Where do you get the food for your entertainment from?

             • Where do you get the food for your education from?

             • Where do you get the food for your information from?

             • Where do you get the food for your soul from?

   ☆ “Watch out for false prophets. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

   • Matthew 7:15-20

Because of that, there are too many people who are paid to feed their appetite to enhance that culture today.

 

There are people paid to preach about;

          • Politics

 

Sadly, too many people love the taste of the messages like that.

Messages that are cooked up with all the fat-filled ingredients of a faith-less life.

 

Too many people become acolytes of that kind of preaching.

 

They choose to be ministered by the man of that message.

They choose to worship the word of the world.

 

But, praise God!

For we have been told about the people who want, do, and love that kind of diet.

  ☆ For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

But let’s be completely honest here.

We all KNOW what we should be putting into our body to have the best health.

 

At one time, I was close to 300 lbs.

I had a lousy diet.

I ate crappy, fatty foods.

I was unhealthy.

 

But then I changed my diet.

I started eating good things.

 

Instead of having big meals of calories, with big sweet deserts full of sugar,

I started eating smaller portions of healthy foods, several times of day.

 

That is how God wants us to feed ourselves on HIS WORD.

Just like when we change the habits of the foods we take in; 

When we change our habits of reading to the Word we take in,

 

The change in our hearts, the building of our faith, the changes in our minds…

 

All of these things have a very specific influence on our daily thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

 

          • We live in HIS hope.

 

          • Because we live in HIS Written Ways

When we do something on a regular basis, it becomes a habit.

When we do habits on a regular basis, it becomes a character.

 

The big question is this:

 

Someone with an unhealthy diet of fats and sugars, out of shape and sluggish?

 – Or – 

Someone with a diet of daily feasting of the nourishing life blood of HIS Word?

 

Now maybe you are thinking:

“That is a silly question!”

OK. Maybe it is, BUT:

Even if  we know what the answer SHOULD be – because it is obvious to us…

 

Think about it…how much fat and crap do you read, compared to how much reading of The Word?

 

Can you say that you have a very strong spiritual nutrition regimen?

So let us eat and drink, and everything else we do, to the 

 

Let us not be out of shape, due to a crappy diet, let us be in GOD shape, because we banquet on the WORD OF GOD daily!

 

I love you guys!
