Listen, if you are food addicted and have tried a multitude of diets but never lost weight or kept it off, then you need to know this truth! Honesty is not always popular, and it might even anger some, but it is what it is! You don’t need another fad diet. You need a savior. No matter what the masses say, your battle is not against body fat or food, for that matter. Your battle is a spiritual one. God’s word would define your battle like this:

Ephesians 6:12

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Stop trying to make food submit to your will and ask God to help you submit to His instead.

Eating healthy is a good thing, but you first need to kick Satan out of your flesh and then go have your grilled veggies in peace!

Spiritual warfare is the process by which you can take your ground (health, self-control, joy…) back from your mortal enemy. He does not leave your life just because you cry, run five miles and eat lean meats and broccoli. He flees because of the authority of Jesus in your life! You need to fight him using spiritual weapons (Ephesians 6), or the enemy will always be able to yank you around.

Fight back! Fight for you! Fight for those who love you. Cut off Satan’s access to you at the root and let Jesus come in and heal the damage.

If you do not know where to start, begin with prayer. Pray about everything you just read. Pray and ask God to sever the evil ones hold on you and kick him off the throne of your flesh.

Next, invite God to take the throne. You need His Holy presence. He will stand guard over your heart give you peace and the freedom you crave.

Lastly, don’t fight alone. Find other believers in your local church, family, or life who can pray for you and encourage you on your journey.

Freedom is not only possible; it is a guarantee with Jesus. Stay committed to God’s plan no matter what. He will do a thorough work and heal what landed you in this mess in the first place.

I’m no one special. But I am a living testimony that losing food addiction, excess weight, and walking in food freedom is possible. Jesus is ready and willing to do it for you also!
