When Adam sinned the world fell into a lost state, spiritually and physically. We are under the curse in which dwells sickness, disease, and death. There are, however, some things we can do to avoid some illnesses. This requires wisdom and application to one's habits. Obesity is the number one killer today. Not all who are overweight have sinned through gluttony. Some have a problem in the body that cannot be corrected. This is most unfortunate, but many are sick due to the bad habits of over eating in our life.
This is nothing new, of course, but with so many diets out there and fitness programs where is the answer that we seek with so much diligence? It's not an easy one, but through God's Word and asking for a breakthrough we can have victory over this thing that can and will kill us. My objective is to help and not to condemn anyone in this article. If you are one out of so many who can accept the answer then I want to encourage you to "stay the course".
What can we do to reach this victory? We desire health and not good looks first of all. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and we are required to take good care of them. Out of God's mercy we can be more well than we are right now. Food is a spiritual battle...it was used to cause the fall of mankind! We never see it as a battle though, we excuse it as a blessing and therefore to be enjoyed. This is partly true, the other part is that it is also something to fight against. Excusing is the problem and the answer is facing it as the cause of why we are so sick today. If you have read this far, then please finish. Ask the Lord for a breakthrough and He will give it to you. This information is not for all, but for those who can receive it, may the Lord bless you abundantly with better health in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forever!
