Troubleshooting
In this letter we will cover our final sensory gateway, tasting.
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Genesis 3:6 NKJV
whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame – who set their mind on earthly things. Philippians 3:19 NKJV
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. And things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12 NKJV
Another name for sins of the taste gateway is gluttony. There are many scriptures condemning the sin of gluttony. What is gluttony? Gluttony is allowing your sense of taste to govern and control your behavior. This governance can lead to over-eating, under-eating, and the eating of foods that are harmful to The Holy Spirit’s temple.
By an act of our will, we must yield to obedience in matters regarding foods entering our mouth. Many christians struggle in this arena. For some, the continued disobedience has led to the establishment of spiritual strongholds. Disobedience in regards to gluttony will lead to numerous spiritual and physical problems.
Freedom in this area starts with 1. confession of our gluttony. 2. repentance ( by an act of our will we choose to turn to obedience) 3. breaking of spiritual strongholds in this arena. As you mature in Christ, you should gain confidence in addressing spirits or spiritual strongholds. Simply command out loud any spirits of gluttony, that may have attached, to leave in Jesus’s Name. 4. Ask Abba Father to seal up any spiritual doorways to gluttony that you may have opened.
At this point, it maybe helpful to come up with a healthy eating plan. God intended we eat His foods. Man, in his arrogance, has tried to substitute his food for God’s foods. He has not succeeded. Father’s foods are better. There are many excellent guides on eating organic, healthy foods, written by christian brothers and sisters. I encourage you to find and follow them.
But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 NKJV
