You Are What You Eat!

Deuteronomy 8:33~ "He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD."~

Galatians 5:22-23 ~ "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."~

How many of *y’all have heard the saying “You are what you eat?” Of course we all need to eat physical food to live, but what about feeding your spirit man? Do you watch what you eat? Do you scoff down hatred, anger, and malice for breakfast? Do you gorge yourself on unforgiveness, deceit, and gossip for lunch? Do you devour pride, arrogance, and selfishness for dinner? Do you snack on lies? If you can say yes to any of these then you have been feeding your spirit with rotten fruit. If you eat rotten fruit then you will produce rotten fruit, but if you nourish your spirit with the proper nutrients (The Word) it will grow, and you will produce good fruit for others to eat. We all need to include good fruit in our daily diets, because being a once a week good fruit eater, will still deprive your spirit. You have to be consistent to stay healthy, so make sure you eat quality foods at all times so that you will be healthy enough to stand up to the enemy’s attacks, because he likes to attack weak malnourished spirits the most. So to have a mega-strong spirit make sure you eat love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. For some it make take time to eat all of these in one sitting, but as with anything you have to build your tolerance level up so that you don’t overwhelm and burn out your spirit. After awhile of eating these fruits it will be like second nature to you, and you will be strong enough to feed others.

Can anyone out there relate?

Be Blessed *Y’all.
