Please translate this message in Spanish. Thank you!
Hello, can this video be transcribed please, I would like to take notes.
You are a LIAR! YOU ARE A THIEF! YOUR ARE A FALSE TEACHER!!! REPENT!!!!
I used to eat a lot of junk food and am overweight. One day I called out to God and asked Him to take away my desire for all junk food and praise God He did..
He’s so faithful! I asked him to take away my desire to smoke cigarettes and he did. This was years ago. I’ve asked him to take away my desire for coffee and he did that too! ❤️
Do you workout or exercise? Because if not, thats more of a reason for why youre overweight than the junk food.
God cant take care of you if you wont take care of yourself.
Praise God!!!❤
They deleted my comment for asking if you workout or exercise🤣
Praise God, same here.
The Lord took away my addiction to drugs, alcohol, lying, and gossip. Now he is taking away my addiction to unhealthy foods. Praise Jesus ❤
🎉
Yooo my dad just gave his life to Jesus Christ, GLORY to GOD !
“In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.””
Luke 15:10

I used to weigh about 290 eating roughly 9 lbs of food a day facing a load of health issues
prediabetes, my triglycerides levels were crazy high, i was headed down a path towards dialysis
Im weighing about 143 now with a clean bill of health
food can heal you or kill you
All honor and glory to God
How wonderful...how did you do it please ?
“I”.
I watched this video a couple weeks ago and I was confronted by the Holy Spirit and accepting wasn't living a healthy life that would glorified God. Started fasting, cut the sugar in my diet, Started working out and started being self conscious of what I eat, and now I am in the right path losing 15 pounds trying to glorified God.
Listen up everyone, we are all going to get free from this. This is why Holy Spirit is revealing it to us now. So this is good news!! Be encouraged and ask Holy Spirit to help you. Clean out your kitchen get rid of all the processed foods and replace them with healthy foods. Get his book
Grant it dear Jesus,!!
YES!!!
Amen!!
What an encouraging comment! Thank you
Yes!!! I'm in the middle of a 40 Day Sugar Fast(while reading the book by the same name). I really think the Holy Spirit led me to this video to help me.
Literally had a hamburger, fries and a milkshake today. I’m in my forties and need to change my eating habits.Thank you Holy Spirit.
Me today 😮😢
Turn to our Lord , and seek biblical guidance, ask God to help you .
Sunday I had this exact meal too
Anything in moderation. It’s when you become a glutton that’s the problem
@@karyngruber8853Amen!! My exact thought.
I repent father from over eating finding comfort in food... Help me holy Spirit-Jesus- I NEED you 😔
Amen
Food Addiction is awful 😖 I need lots of help in this area!
This is an area. Where are the literature states that the chemicals in the food , actually affects the same part of the brain as an alcoholic or a drug addict. When people realize , (Pray about it ALWAYS, the Holy Spirit will show you)! in these End times , The powers that be in satans kingdom, put these chemicals in our food to kill people and keep them in bondage with food addiction that is just as bad as drugs or alcohol. It is just less obvious because they don’t have to put “ALL INGREDIENTS “ in the food on the label nor do they expect you will look at the label and look things up . Beware of satans devices. People are not doing this intentionally, they think they may be even eating healthy . But when you don’t have sugar , carbs , or table salt , your body will actually withdraw just like a heroin addict just less obvious. Headaches , body aches ect. Even organic . The organic meat causes arthritis to flair up due to the chemicals injected into it , it causes inflammation in the joints and throughout the body .
Same here I’m struggling bad myself I am currently 5’5 320 pounds I’m ready for change I just started this live over didn’t get in till near end cause of work may god bless you!!!!
Love going through the produce 🥥🍇🥗🍣🍑🥦section, looks so incredibly beautiful God's creation, praying that God gives me the desire to be satisfied with fresh living food.
My mother, growing up would dress us kids ( I had one older brother and two younger sisters) iut the back door and lock it. She didnt even give us breakfast. I was always surprised when she made us something to eat and then push us out of the house. Even when it was raining. She didnt care. Thank goodness there was a shed my sister's and I would stand it until it stopped raining. There were some Hornets nests in there but they never bothered us. 😢 we didnt eat until dinner time. And believe me we are everything. Lucky if we could have seconds. I was 7, my sisters 5 and 3. I'm glad she is gone now because I am free of her.
Same here! I’m praying to God to deliver you from your food addiction and everyone else going through this! Sending you love and Prayers My Sibling in Christ. Amen 🙏🏼
Please pray for me, brothers and sisters in Christ. I am so lost in my food addiction and it’s killing me. I feel awful, and it is a poor witness for Christ. I’ve tried again and again, but I always fail. At the end of this video, I’m going to do as Dr. Brown did - cry out to God for His mercy.
🙏
I’m with you and attest to your statement! We must NEVER give up and NEVER quit! Amen in Jesus Christ we win 🙌🏼
Lord I pray that you reach out to this person. I pray that you release the strongholds of food and I pray that you give them strength and wisdom to see what really good. Put Goldy windomed people in their path to help to him them. I pray this in your Son Jesus' Name. Thank you Lord for hearing my prayer. Amen
Say out loud, In Jesus name, I rebuke, renounce, and bind away all lying spirits, all spirits of food and sugar addictions and cravings and images, in Jesus name, and I command them to go to the Abyss and not to come back in Jesus name.
Look in to carnivore or ketovore it is life changing
Eliminate sugar and highly processed foods. Sugar causes more hunger and dehydration.
So true !!!
Seed oils are worse, eliminate the seed oils too
The best health I ever had was the almost 2 years I went sugar free. I want to do it again, but it’s such an addictive substance
@@LouisaWatt and they’re putting it in EVERYTHING, now more than ever!
@@bevee3711 there’s so much hidden sugar, you basically have to make everything yourself from scratch
I'm dealing with food addiction and day before yesterday I prayed to God. And yesterday I got notification of pastor Vlad this Video on TH-cam. I pray to God let everyone who is dealing with this addiction in Mighty name Jesus Broke this chain of addiction.
Amen
The Lord led me to this too and is dealing with me about it. 10 years ago He told me "God's food, not gross food." I tried several times to lose weight and keto did help but I couldn't keep it up. God bless you!😊✝️🫂❤️
Mine was just a thought, feeling bad about my eating habits, not even subscribed to this channel, but some reason this popped up on my feed, Holy Spirit is great and awesome, he really love and care about everything that concerns us ❤
Same thing happened to me today! I was in the shower praying that God would help me to stop looking to food for everything, to stop basing my identity on being a foodie, and then a half hour later this video popped up in my feed. I am so addicted to sugar, carbs, etc. and have been diagnosed with so many health issues that are requiring a major change in diet, and I felt myself going into a panic. That is not good.
Agree in Jesus name Amen ❤
Just a few days ago God revealed to me that I like being comfortable more than I like obeying Him....that I wont allow myself to be uncomfortable at the cost of disobedience. That hurt, and now this video pops up and confirms that I really need to start crusifying my flesh!
Thank you Jesus for your perfect word! ❤
This is convicting sis! Thank you for your honesty!
Amen to that! Thank you my sister xx God bless you and pray for me.
AMEN!!!
Amen!!! We got this, Sis!!🖐🏼
I confess my disobedience and rebellion. On basis of shed blood of Jesus I ask for forgiveness, mercy and grace.
Father, God forgive me for my disobedience. Empower me to withstand and overcome discomfort. Instead to delight increasing in obeying Your Holy Spirit in Word in Deed by the Grace of Jesus Christ. Cover with the Blood of Christ. Keep me abiding and thriving in You.
🙏 thank You for answered prayer.
I’ve repented. This week I’ve had a revelation regarding this stronghold with food. Yes, it’s gluttony. God has been speaking to my heart & I’ve sensed Him asking me, “when are you going to use your authority?”
🎉 praise God
Oooo Shnap! I needed to read that, Thank You! 🤍
Me too! Exact same words. Glad to know God is working in us to overcome this stronghold.
Speak Lord
Day 4 of intermittent fasting. I realized that I would eat just because it was there, just because I wanted to and just because I was bored. Not because i was hungry. I feel 100 times better, and my stomach feels good. Food had a hold on me. Not anymore !!
Me struggling with food addiction. Starting intermittent fasting
Whew amen 😭😭
Yes that's me I eat also because I'm bored.
Wow!!Thank you for sharing!😎💯
Yes, this is me, available, I see it, coupled with emotional eating.
Both my parents died before the age of 60 because of the unhealthy diet they had and I am in my early thirties and obese. I need to get free from the food addiction. The Holy Spirit has freed me from alcohol and smoking tobacco. I know He can free me from unhealthy food. Please pray for me.
Watching from South Africa.
Praying for you Margaret 🙏
You can do it, girl! God is within you. Make him proud!
Margaret I set you free in Jesus Christ Name! Be free, be whole: So be it! Be blessed! Thank you father !
You shall live and not die, be free from it in Jesus name.
Praying for you. Check out Dr. Ken berry and learn about food freedom,
I went on a 40 day spiritual fast from lunch last year with no food from 10am-5pm. Interestingly, I started craving healthy food. I didn’t eat bad before but it wasn’t great either and I craved sweets. I also like to snack. When I came off I did semi Keto and have eaten very healthy ever since. I no longer crave sweets and I have a lot of energy. I started running/walking 2 miles a day as well. Our bodies are a temple so we should take good care of it. Also, the Lord answered prayers from my fast. One specific prayer was that my husband would be in a men’s Bible study like he was in years ago. About a month after the fast he was invited and joined 2 groups and got to know other Christian men at our church.
Amen .Thank you Jesus.
Amen!!
Amen Jesus thank you for hearing her prayers and letting them not come back void! So proud of you and an
awesome testimony thank you for sharing...
The processed, industrial foods are killing us. Look at the rate of diabetes and heart disease. It’s the processed foods - bread, chips, fries, sugar - sweet drinks - get rid of those and then our bodies thrive. Stick close to the food that God has made - not factory foods.
Thank you so much. Food is something I have battled with for decades.
I managed to break free from drugs, alcohol and sexual addiction but not food. No one talks about it!
You are right I agree! I didnt know it was a thing until I realized i was dealing with it! May we both be free of this in Jesus name!🙌🏽🙏🏾
How did you overcome sexual addiction?
And it's very real too the Bible talks about gluttony but a lot of people overeat out of deeper inner problems
that's just a manifestation of it
We are all free from food and addiction, amen
Being disciplined is a big deal. Lord help us
God has been speaking to me about this. Confirmation.
This video gave me so much anxiety 😢 please pray for me. I need to be free of this food stronghold!
Fasting and Prayer can break this in Jesus Name Amen.
Praying for you!
Give it to God! With Him all things are possible.
Pray but also eat keto. Eat the whole foods God created. Meat, low carb veggies, whole fruits (not juice & eat fruit only occasionally, in season) God created food for man but man has corrupted it to our own demise. Stay away from man-made foods.
I have CPTSD. Anxiety causes me to compulsive overeating as a way of trying to sooth my emotions. I think in those times i should ask Jesus to show me how much he loves me and ask for his protection coz he's got me in the palm of his hands.
I did an elimination diet using carnivore because I was always tired and my husband had health issues. After all the crap (carbs,processed food,sugar) was put of my system I realized how addicted I was to food. Carnivore was God's answer to my prayers.
I have high protein. I eat steak everyday and it's helped me feel better. I think the lifestyle change is more about cutting out processed foods and sugar. Not so much cutting out meat and then adding protein from chocolate like protein shakes.
We need to be aware that the Bible promotes the eating of fruits and vegetables (Garden of Eden) Meat was used after the flood because no vegetation was available yet. God instructed on how to prepare the meat. Do not eat the blood or fat. I mention this out of care for you and others. 🤍
@Usernameblahblahnblah I think for me it was the higher fat that helped, not really the protein. It makes me very satiated which I had a hard time feeling that when I ate vegetables.
@@sprucegroovers3308 " We" don't need to be aware. I am aware that God healed me through diet. The carnivore diet specifically.
@@sprucegroovers3308Modern day fruits and vegetables are nothing like what was eaten in the Garden of Eden. My SDA lifelong-vegetarian family members are the sickest people I know and take a daily bucket of supplements to compensate for the deficiency in their diet-that is not Gods design. Eat the fatted calf. 😊
I just joined I can’t wait to hear this it’s an issue I have I just gave myself to god to be reborn today what a great feeling my stress is gone which is amazing!!! Praise Jesus I am Born Again!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to your video I watched earlier!!!!!! And the power of Jesus
AMEN
Glory to Jesus for you
Just great teaching, calling the addiction out and dealing with it. It is sin
Stay in the Word of God, fill yourself with sermons and Jesus. John 15 😊
@@trahmom4407it’s so hard cause there is a lot I don’t understand which deterred* hope I spelled that correctly me from reading the Bible I have one it seems like every time I pick it up I don’t get past first few pages I’ve never been a reader since I was a kid it’s something I have to do may god give me the strength to pick it up and understand it clearly
Crazy how God knows what to send in what exact moment. Pressed on this video thinking “it can’t be that bad”. Let’s just say the Lord CONVICTED me.
I was unemployed for 7 months the last 2 months i struggled with food addiction, I knew it was spiritual, I prayed and God brought deliverency.
God delivered me from a 30 year eating disorder. I am now working on my gluttony. Thank u Father 🙏
Am having trouble swallowing solid foods so am depending on light foods alone which is not healthy I can't take food that doesn't go through my throat smoothly or otherwise it would choke me so in my case what should I do.
Maybe try blending up healthy foods in a blender? Also, vegetable broth and some healthy soups go down smoothly.
@josiahallenswife6899 my family does not own a blender
@@josiahallenswife6899 thank you for your response 🙏
He did? I still have bulimia. Have asked Himokçlkoohoppğo😅😮😅
Just an encouragement for anyone struggling with this, remember that God is so gracious and so kind. Yes it is a sin but it’s hurting him more than it’s hurting you to see you like this. You might be overeating as you read this and feeling convicted but don’t be afraid to admit your weaknesses to the Lord. He will meet you right where you’re at. This is something that I’m still recovering from and it’s not talked about enough but believing for breakthroughs and praying for freedom🙏🏽❤️
🙏
Thank you so much for sharing such beautiful words.
Thank you for this. Right before I scrolled to your comment I thought to myself “ how can I come to the lord and ask him for help when I’m undeserving” then I see your comment and it brought me to tears. I prayed and asked for help bc of your comment so thank you ❤
God showed me this video after He had an alcoholic non-believer tell me I'm a glutton and glutton is a sin. This is someone I was trying to reach for Christ. And God has forcefully changed my diet for me. My body can no longer tolerate gluten, sugar, dairy or much meat. He allows me fish, salad, nuts, seeds and fruit and lots of olive oil in the fish. He had told me for years to change my diet, but I didn't listen. Now, I have no choice. Gluten rashes itch like crazy! Diabetes is no fun! I was asking Him why the severe diet change and that's when He showed me your video! Thanks for the info! It helped me connect the dots! I'm just going to go with His diet plan now and stop complaining, because, YES! IT IS VERY HARD! EVERYONE around me eats what they want and living in a homeless shelter, I can't always eat what I am given. However, God always gets me a can of olive oil tuna or a salad or both. And a banana! 😂 God is good! And has a great sense of humor!
The altars are full sick people blaming the enemy.
Full surrender to our mighty King as he assists us to clean up the temple.
This is so true - and then I get confused well is Jesus our healer or do we heal ourselves?
@@kcee9111
We are to submit to him and do all things THROUGH him.
This episode was so needed and is so anointed by the Lord for such a time as this in America I really feel like the food stronghold is huge with people these days I am 7 years recovered from a severe eating disorder by the grace of God! Now the Lord uses me to encourage other people in the body of Christ when it comes to food issues. Thank you for this wonderful word! Hallelujah 🙏🏼💖
I’ve actually been praying about this, that my junk cravings would go away. I have a huge sweet tooth. I’m at my heaviest after 3 children, nursing cravings are big too. Praying for deliverance. Making workouts a daily habit.
Now this is a chat we all need to here
I over eat or eat junk for many reasons (excuses) pure habit like watching a movie I feel I need to have a snack , birthdays , holidays , vacations , I use food as a reward after a hard work out or long day , comfort /stress management , boredom, convenience, to not waste food (not sure what to do about this one , sometimes I do have too many leftovers and nothing to do wit it kids won’t eat it , dog can’t eat it so I make myself eat it ) . Lord help me break this strong hold . I cannot do it alone .
Maybe you could try freezing leftovers and reuse them in future meals. You could also try to cook just enough food and avoid overcooking inorder to minimize the leftovers. I hope this helps
God Brought it in the right time
Thank you Jesus
Amen! That’s what I was thinking too ❤
He's always on time!! And I just got off a 3 day fast at God's direction
I appreciate you bringing this up. We in Christian circles almost never touch this topic and its stronghold on us.
We also need to honestly deal with the fact that processed foods are manufactured to be addictive. So it may be best to just flee from it and eat more whole and natural foods.
I am obese for my height.. I’m not fond of sweets nor fastfood. In fact I crave healthy foods. But I tend to overeat and dine out for delicious and sometimes expensive foods. This has become my comfort, more than prayer and the presence of God. It is so hard to give up on this habit. Thank you Lord for this video. Please deliver me from this addiction. Amen..
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
So true ! Gluttony, food addiction almost never gets talked about yet so many suffer, lets pray for them 🙏🏽✝️
As someone who almost died a few times from food intolerances & extreme autoimmune struggles, THANK YOU for this teaching!!!! I now eat to live , not live to eat. I invest wisely. It's a beautiful freedom!! 🥰🙌🤗🙏
I'm overweight because I was graving fast foods at supper time, but currently no more dinner after 6pm. Thank You Holy Spirit for the self- control
I needed this message. I am weak and I am leaning on Him for strength
I've been fighting for a year and a half and losing. The holy spirit has been screaming discipline to me over and over and over again. Lieterally a few months ago I heard God so clearly, and He warned that food will kill me. This is so on time and very needed! Thank you!
Same! Literally the same message.
Same
Same 😢 We can do this!
This is exactly me
Jesus. Same
I’m 50 and have the same issues high blood pressure high cholesterol. Sleep apnea and been struggling with using junk food to make me feel better for years. Asked God to help me turn to him and not food and today I see this video. Thank you Lord!
Wooooow pastor vlad. This is PERFECT timing. God has just delivered me from food addiction and many other addictions 😂😂 JESUS
The principle of "aharit" is very powerful. This is very needed! The Lord has been speaking to me about quitting sugar and junky food and it has been sooooo difficult, one of the final areas of bondage for me🙏🏽😩
My pantry and grocery bill is shifting beautifully as He helps me with this
I too had an overeating problem for years, and it brought on depression and was so ashamed of myself and had very low esteem. I used to cry out to the Lord verbally and also journal prayers to the Lord. This went on for years. One day some years ago the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said “WHEN YOU PRAY WHY DON’T YOU ASK THE LORD TO BURN UP THE FOOD IN YOU.” I started doing that and in on around 2021 I was reading Daniel chapter 1 concerning the 10 days food challenge of eating pulse and drinking water. It’s like something went off in my spirit and I decided to take this challenge myself. I literally went cold turkey and adapted this way of eating. I did it for months, started losing weight right away until November of f the same year I decided to take a day off so I can have a thanksgiving meal but it wasn’t the worst mistake, I got so sick that thanksgiving day and I said no more I am getting back on my regimen of food and I have not looked back since. I eat a lot of soups where I can get almost all kinds of vegetables in there. I
Do incorporate brown rice, whole wheat pasta, 100% whole wheat bread, 100% olive oil, raw unfiltered honey, plant based milk, vegan butter and so on. Cooking for me now is so much easier and more simple. I also do juicing as well. May God help us to overcome. Satan uses food to control us and keep us from becoming who God decreed us to be. We have to fight in the spirit with the weapons God has given to us.
Thanks for sharing this
What do you think hr meant by 'burn up the food'
@@firecarrier1 Good question… and to tell you the truth I don’t know the meaning. I know that he is the all consuming fire. He has truly set me free which I am so grateful.
@@joycarrington5822 thank you
@@firecarrier1burn the extra fat, like Keto does.
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
- Matthew 4:4
“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.”

“I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.”

I’ve been binge watching all his TH-cam videos , plan on attending his appearance here and I’ve been struggling with food addiction and have been praying and seeking god to help me conquer! This is definitely the Holy Spirit in action!
MAN I NEEDED THIS MESSAGE.......I will go 2 weeks without chocolate and potato chips and then it will be popcorn or chips n salsa or another substitute.....I also have pain in my lower back left side and I know it is because of NOT ENOUGH WATER.....and yes I want to pray to stop the unhealthy eating as in pastries and ice cream....SUGAR IS THE ENEMY.
Why don't you drink more water too?
I have been hearing demons in my head telling me to kill myself because I have been dealing with pornography and adultery. I’ve been feeling terrible and been crying a lot I’ve been dealing with my consequences from my past being introduced at 8 to porn and ever since it’s been like a knife that’s stuck in me for my whole life. I’ve prayed fasted I workout and take cold showers I pray for protection and strength but I never receive. When I get tempted it’s like everything goes out the window and after a few days I fall. Discipline is invisible with this sin and I do what I feel like is everything . Today I prayed after falling and I realized that I cannot be saved from myself so I again I’m going to battle myself I don’t know if it’s a spirit or just me . I’ve been reaching out to these pastors and I’m just in need of prayer seriously saints I beg for strength to fight my flesh and for discipline and victory above all PLEASE I’m closer and closer to feeling stuck and giving up but at the same time I never will lol..
Praying for you, Jay-Jay. Don't give up. The truth will set you free. May God guide you to the right people to minister freedom to you as well
You're not on this journey alone, brother. Just remember that God's love never fails. If we fail, we can begin again. In Philippians 1:2, He says he will not stop until He completes his work in us. If we are devoted to Him, He is so much more committed.
I meant to say "strugglers" not struggles.
Getting a sponsor or partner to help you in this journey to freedom to glorify God.
Confence all yr sin before God and start prayer for cleansing
I am so happy the Holy Spirit is revealing this to me now. We are overcomer in Jesus Christ ❤
Food is the reward built in to everything we do. That’s so true. Mic drop
Timely as usual.. been praying about this for a year I’ve lost 48 pounds but most of all with the help of God I have started eating healthy.. but I kinda did some backsliding and came to a stand still since Thanksgiving… I needed this so much. Thank you Pastor Vlad God bless you!!
Keto/Low Carb really helped me to overcome food addiction
I had to go as far as carnivore, but same!
I'm carnivore too for one month
I started my journey yesterday and this pops up today! I see you working in me Lord! Amen!
God help us… you’ve got this… with His help
I'm so deep into food addiction...the last "hit" could kill me. I've been dealing with this for over 30 years. But it's worse now more than ever.
Praying for strength and grace that the Lord will help you change your diet and deliver you from food obsession in the mighty name of Jesus Amen🙏🙏🙏❤️
Stop seeing yourself as a slave to it but see the power of Christ in you
You are not alone and God is with us!
I believe for you when I'll pray. God bless our mind set on the things of God. Where the heart is there will our treasure be. Set our mind on things above. Lord shift our focus and the things our hearts love to the things you love.
So sorry that you are struggling so much. Jesus loves you and died to set you free from all bondage. Watch Katie Souza Healing Your Soul series. She has several teachings on breaking food addictions.
God bless you. Amen❤
Break this stronghold!!!
My husband led us to intermittent fasting. We fast every day from 5PM to 9AM. I feel better. My energy is up. Slowly regaining my stamina. Sleep great.
The Lord has set me free from this! I could never have done it without His grace, and I am praying for those who persevere in getting their eating habits right. We can do all things in Christ. He desires us to be healthy too so we can serve Him more.
This is for every Believer who loves to eat, overeats and is overweight or underweight. Thank you for sharing.
Praise The Lord this is what the Lord wanted me to hear. He helped me lose the weight and now its pulling down this stronghold in Jesus Christ Mighty Name. "Food Warfare is Real" 😮You Can Have Too Much of Good Things! And Ultimately You Cannot Do it Without The Holy Spirit. Thank You Father For Healing and Revelation. All Praise and Glory Be to GOD❤ HALLELUJAH
Mad,sad,frustrated, dissatisfied, disappointed, lonely . . ... stuffing my face, i am. I remember getting off the phone with a family member frustrated to boot pooring a cup of dry cereal and just downing it! The Holy Spirit was like, " What are you doing?" 😂😰😢😭 trying not to punch that person in the face 🤷♀️ so frustrating. I remember sitting at the table as a little girl with hurt feelings ,misunderstood, and shoveling in food. The Holy Spirit would minister til i wept, but i just kept eating 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Don’t be discouraged. We must take the steps-step out of the boat, get into the fire, walk out of Egypt. Jesus will be with you in the journey! It is NOT comfortable to deny the flesh! But it is possible! One day at a time, stay in the Word of God and the Holy Spirit will help you. You will have to make some changes but rely on Jesus-He will see you through. It takes a while to change your body but that’s ok. Give Him one day, have a good friend to be your accountability partner-I will pray for you. ❤
May the Lord who loves you redeem you. Help us Lord.
It's wonderful how He loves us, every ounce of ourselves is loved.
We hate the extra weight, the face stuffing type eating.
It is a stronghold of the flesh.
Are we victims of the flesh?
Can this stronghold be broken?
Yes, through His Holy Spirit love for us, His help, His will for us is good. We can do even that, by grace through faith...
Blessings ARE OURS, dear sister.
This needs to be discussed more.
Food is good to eat but over eating or desire of food is also sin
I'm convicted by this podcast food for the soul. I thank God I came across it. God wanted me to hear this.
I really need prayer on this pls pray for me!!!!
🙏
Oh wow…this is good. Thank you Lord 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I am carnivore now 4 months and have lost 42 pounds
My wife and I were tired and frustrated. We prayed during Chanukah to rededicate our temples.
We met a missionary at our Shabbat table from Cyprus who shared with us his family’s transformation.
The Lord used this to break our food addiction and sugar/starch addiction
This is what I'm doing. I'm down 8 pounds already. I'm hoping to continue down this path
We need this Pastor Vlad, thank you!
That was such a powerful interview. The Holy Gost has been convicting me for months about my eating habits, but I've been postponing the changes because the stronghold is just too big to break. Thank you for encouraging us to be weak before the Lord and to surrender this part of our lives to Him! God bless you❤
This is my struggle for years... I feel boundage amd I believe God will set me free
This is so hard to overcome as someone who has an eating disorder
It is my husband and I both diabetics
My husband no longer eats sugar or carbs
He’s done amazing I’m right behind him I have sugar only one in a while , fresh fruit is the best sewers black cherries are the best
I have been really interested in spiritual warfare for quite some time. now, and it is interesting in the comments under n exorcists's video, woman commented that her eating disorder disappeared after omelets call it spiritual battle/deliverance. actually ,if I am remembering correctly, I think the priest prayed exorcistic prayer over her, but don't quote me on that. I used to have food issues pretty much through my forties, and intermittent fasting and basically eating as close to no carbs as possible, totally made food a non sequester for me. I don't know what will work for anyone else, but I usually fast for about 18-20 hours a day , and just choose a protein for the day for dinner. It is so freeing. I think it was a spiritual discipline thing that disciplined my flesh. I heard to extinguish a vice, you have to grow the opposite virtue, so lack of temperance opposite would be fasting. Good luck, trust me I have been there. It feels good to be free of that. Peace to you.
Thank you Pastor Vlad for this podcast. In Jesus name, my food addictions will never enslave me ever again. He who lives in me is greater than my addiction.
I'm going through this. I feel like God wants me to get a better diet!
YESSSSSS!!!! When I became a Christian I was so saddened by the carelessness towards the body. But I believe God is changing this. More people like me (from health & fitness) are being called by the Lord. I know that there's a calling to serve the body in this way.
The Lord has really been bringing this to my attention lately! I mean, just repeatedly. I'm so grateful for this video, for this man sharing his wisdom, and most of all- for him speaking TRUTH. God Bless!
This is life changing! Thank you! I've lost 53pds this past year making many changes to what I eat. The two thibgs that really struck me today, is that gluttony is a sin and idolatry, so true, yet rarely spoken. The other is to give up what God lays on your heart, completely! I can't dabble here and there and expect to overcome. Amen. That makes perfect sence to me. After hearing this I began praying for my husband. Many of the messages, sounded very familiar, and it is so inspiring to hear how God works!
Keep my glucose levels low and consistent has really helped me control my food addiction. For me a keto diet has changed my life. 100lbs lost.
Thank you for this video. We deserve better than the food that is being dished out to us by the big food companies. I’ve been Whole Foods plant-based for the last eight years and reaping the same benefits you are having. It was also a holy endeavor for me. I prayed and asked God to help me get to the bottom of it. I started researching what was in the food and how it was making me sick and overweight. Since going Whole Foods plant-based I’ve lost 70 pounds, went from a 2X to a medium, I’m on no meds, and my vital signs are amazing!
I literally have recieved prayer today after church for this exact issue. I have been praying for freedom from this for years, exercising, dieting, restricting, fasting with no luck. Just a bit of weight loss and then I plateau n go back to eating bad. Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s right on time.
This is really helpful, especially when people the first thing they say to you is about your weight. I was born chubby and I try but I always get this counter attack of hunger that makes me weak and be desperated for food. May the grace of God abound to deafeat this weapon of the devil.
I just found this video within 15 minutes of receiving 4 lbs of Reeses from Amazon. So much truth here and didn't think of food this way. Thank you!
No way, Dr. Brown just preached at my church this past weekend!
Amen !!
No pain!
Excellent obedience and stewardship is right
God is so good. I’ve been struggling with my weight and trying the gym, trying to eat healthier and time and time again I fail. God has really put on my heart for me to get it together in this area. It’s so hard but with him we can get through anything! Thank you for your testimony in this area 🎉
My 3rd time listening to this making sure it stays in my brain.. I got convicted to eat healthy ❤ thank God for determination and will to do so, I cannot do it myself 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🇭🇹
I do plan to listen to the whole message but didn't make it passed the intro!!! It hit my heart and spirit. Especially when he said don't play with the grace. Tears started flowing down my face. 😢 Man I needed to hear that. Abba Father thank you.🙏🏾❤️🔥 🕊️
Wow, this TH-cam video has been incredibly impactful for me! I'm absolutely convinced by its message. I'm eagerly anticipating diving into the book because it feels like I've been battling with a strong hold my entire life. I shed 50kg about 5 years ago, but I've unfortunately gained back 30kg since then. I believe God helped me through that journey initially; as it says, "it was not by might, nor by power but by the spirit." Reaching that mindset again is proving to be a real challenge, but watching this video couldn't have come at a better time. My health is suffering with obesity, high blood pressure, and issues with my back and knees. At 55, I feel like I'm 100, and even walking feels like a joke. I weigh 127kg now, and I'm determined not to stay this way. I want health, I want life, and it feels like watching this TH-cam video was anything but a coincidence. Thank you both for sharing this powerful message.
I love this in so many ways ways, moral of the story, 1 get you a partner that wants to see you win and keeps you accountable. 2. Admit you're weak to our creator because in his strength we are made strong.. 3. Even those that are older still struggle with the same habits it doesn't just go away unless we attend to it. 4. If we are disciplined we don't necessarily have to to end up not eating a burger sometimes or a milkshake.
I used to struggle with bad food habits but I started asking the Lord to help me with overeating
This was so good for me. I took so many notes that I plan to review and it helped me also to look in the Bible for additional biblical food advice.
For example - Psalm 141:4 - “do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds … and let me not eat of their delicacies!” (Which for most of us means sugar, flour, fried food, pork, shellfish, and possibly dairy (although I think raw dairy might be okay).
There are at least two mentions of food in Proverbs 31. And I know there’s many more places food is mentioned in the Bible.
God cares about all areas of our lives and He wants us to thrive - spirit, soul, and body!
This was a very important message, and the timing is perfect. Since there's been an increase of diseases and inflammation. So much toxins in our food now.
Thank you Lord I really needed this!!
I’m so thankful that God has worked through you guys to post this video.
My husband has been on my case about my eating habits. I am 44, 5’7, and almost weigh 280 lbs. I am constantly losing my battle with food.
Pray for me please. I am so convicted and I need to change for God, my family, and myself. I want to repent, be redeemed and transformed.
Such an important interview. I was praying for help with my gluttony this morning.
I learned a lot of easy-to-do actions and mindset habits from this video that have me much encouraged. Thank you both!
I need help in this area big time! I can't wait for this 🙏
Really really need this! Disciple is so hard but it’s the only way
