- Do You Struggle With Gluttony? Watch This!
Do you find yourself constantly thinking about food? When the compelling desire for food and drink becomes intensely important to us, it’s a sign that it has become an idol in our lives. Gluttony in the Bible is a form of idolatry and any form of idolatry is a serious offense to God. Overcoming gluttony is less about losing weight and more about gaining a new perspective in life. Food cannot comfort you; only the Holy Spirit does that! He is the great Comforter, your best Friend. So ask Him to help your mind, will, and emotions make the right decisions concerning food consumption.

Most addictions of gluttony happen because people have a strange rep. WHy? Because the society tends to ostracize and punish emotional displays of rebellion even if they are legit, many laws that only reinforce some categories of people or hipocrites that set up reactive abuses and then they blame the one who defended himself/herself.
@@WoziduranJahemter its the Demonic spirits at play, the people are just used by them. We fight against spirits not flesh and blood.
Thank you Pastor Vladimir. I just got done fasting yesterday and this video was god speaking to me. 🙏❤️ Thank you
Thankyou! Ive struggled for years! Need Jesus 2 help and i think hes pointed me to you. Bless you 😀 p.s. i dont think theres enough talk about this issue so well done
Spasibo bolchoy, Vova Sasha.
I repent of and renounce the spirit of gluttony. I rebuke the demon of gluttony in the name of Jesus! Lord Jesus I want you to be my the King and Lord of my life. 💗
Amen
Amen!!
❤
Amen,. I repent and renounce the spirit of gluttony . I rebuke the spirit of gluttony in Jesus name. Holy Spirit take control of my mind and belly . Amen
Amen!!! Now only Jesus will be my confort!
I have been glutinous my whole life. I always indulged. And my weight got out of control. July of this year I was laying in bed. Thinking how I always feel unwell physically and mentally. I asked the Lord to help with giving me the strength to not give up when I started my weight loss journey. And he heard me. I've fallen off the wagon. Many times since July. But I always jumped back on it. Kept up with my fasting and cutting all the sugar and carbs from my diet. I put down the sweet tea and don't drink it anymore. Maybe once every other month as a treat. I hear what sets apart a person from another, is that we are all going to slip and slip hard. But the Lord sees the ones who dust their selves off, and continue onward trying their hardest to remain righteous. At my last weigh in, I was down 44 lbs. It feels wonderful and I'm so grateful that Christ helped me through this. I truly know he heard me and he knew I needed to get my act together. I feel wonderful as well.
AMEN!! Keep going
Congratulations!!! This is wonderful to read. Keep going!! You got this and He’s got YOU!❤
Praise GOD!! KEEP GOING dear brother! GOD will never leave you or forsake you. HE is ALWAYS with you!!!🎊 🎉
Thank u for sharing ur testimony it gives me hope knowing I’m not the only one battling the sin of gluttony. God bless.
How did you get through a fast when you felt hungry?
I battled this all of my life and I am now delivered from the demon of gluttony. I started fasting one day a week faithfully after listening to a Derek Prince teaching. The commitment to fasting weekly was what led me to freedom. I was at the Atlanta conference this past weekend and got completely delivered from all demonic oppression. To Jesus Christ be the Glory! I will be participating in the fast forward in January. Thank you Pastor Vlad for your powerful ministry ❤️❤️🔥🔥
15:16 Slayfear, this is wonderful news!! I’ve not listened to Derek Prince on this topic and will check it out. Fasting is part of my life over 3 years now! It helps me make better choices and is healing. Keep going!
@@starlynn57 ❤️❤️ Awesome, and thank you for the encouragement.
Hello, could you provide a link to the Derek Prince teaching?
I still eat a lot sugar and junk food / calories as much as I can but I also brisk walk 3 miles in morning, 3 in afternoon, 3 in evening, and 1 mile at home and I do 100 jumping jacks. So my personal advice would be enjoy life still we only live once if you have craving heck go for it but exercise slowly without frustrating yourself. OR simply eat only 1000 calories a day with nuts in between to keep you from starving. I have no cholestrol (thanks to Red Rice Yeast) tablets which I take everyday, and I am not diabetic (thanks to RX Plant Based Sugar). I eat one piece of garlic empty stomach in morning time, drink 6 glasses of water in morning, some days I drink grated ginger tea, wheat grass, apple cider vinegar in lukewarm water with bit of honey. I drink alcohol sober though but I also start and finish my tasks on time.
@@conniesybert2704 I have watched so many of his videos, and I have no idea which one I saw that mentioned him fasting once a week.
I am a glutton, have been all my life. God has been so patient with me, but he's telling me it's time to deal with this sin. It's time!
Me too.
Yes me too
Me too.
Oh me too!
Praying for you all 🙏🏽 and myself 🙏🏽
I was praying last night to God, father help me over come gluttony. I wake up to a notification How to overcome gluttony! Thank you! God bless you!
Love how the Lord just answers soo quick sometimes...wow! Praise Him
Yesss! Me too!!
Same! His timing is perfect!
Me too!
Amen.
"Gluttony gives way to laziness... Which gives way to hopelessness." ❤️ 💕 😍 💕 ❤️ this!
Oh my goodness!!! During Lent I give up sweets and then Easter Sunday I eat a lot of chocolate and cookies. Thank for opening up my heart and mind to this subject. I get closer to Jesus and then the demon comes and says “thin mints are in the fridge.” Now I will tell myself that Lent is 365 days and keep Jesus in my heart. ❤️
I'm trying to quit. I need you Lord. I repent of gluttony. Eating has been a struggle for me as of late, I would just eat randomly and start craving all sorts of stuff. Just yielding, and I don't want that anymore!
For those struggling with overeating ; I have noticed that when I eat a lot of carbs, it turns to sugar, which in turn causes me to want to overeat. If you have that same problem, eat slow acting carbs and you’ll be less hungry. When I don’t watch my carb intake, I am always thinking about what I’m going to eat at the next meal, while I’m sitting there eating the meal in front of me!!
Yeah, reducing carbs really helps! Especially reducing white flour and sugar!
@@tiffanysalernoI think I saw you comment on another video about gluttony that I watched too! God put this video and another one on my TH-cam feed!!
I don't eat white flour and I barely eat refined sugar but God did create us to eat fruits and vegetables. The United States demonizes eating fruit and says that it causes to get diseases like diabetes but that is not true. Since the time of the Garden of Eden God gave us fruit which contains all the vitamins and minerals we need. If you eat a ton of fruit mixed with the standard American diet that's what causes diabetes. Eating organic helps to get the Maxx nutrition. I am a holistic nutritionist. May you all be blessed I'm not trying to argue but it's not about protein and low carb it's about the right type of carbs and our body runs on carbs everything converts to sugar even if you're eating an all meat diet it converts to glucose in the end.
I renounce gluttony in the mighty name of Jesus!!!!!!!!!
I have a severe stronghold of gluttony. I pray, fight to fast, rebuke, call out Bible verses, etc. it will not go. I need help and no one understands.
DEFINITION OF GLUTTONY
a) Overindulgence in food and drink - Making a god out of your belly ( Philippians 3:19).
It is a form of idolatry ( 1 Corinthians 10:7)
Food should not be your comfort, passion.
B) Gluttony induces laziness and hopelessness (1 Corinthians15:32- hopelessness, no purpose, no meaning)( Titus 1:12- Lazy glutton)
God is against laziness. Gluttony can destroy the rhythm of hard work.
c) Gluttony induced poverty- Proverbs 23:21-It steals your money
D) Gluttony is associated with stubbornness and wastefulness (Deuteronomy 21:20)
First temptation of humanity was with food. Esaú put his food before birthright.
The 23rd Pound.
My appetite is my shepherd.
I Always Want.
It maketh me to sit down and stuff myself.
It leadeth me to my refrigerator repeatedly.
It leadeth me in the path of
Burger King for a Whopper.
It destroyeth my shape.
Yea, though I knoweth I Gaineth,
I will not Stop Eating,
For the Food Tasteth so Good.
The Ice Cream and Cookies, they comfort me.
When the table is spread for me,
It Exciteth me,
For I knoweth that soon I shall dig in!
As I filleth my plate continuously,
My clothes runneth smaller.
Surely bulges and excess weight shall
Follow me all the days of my life,
And I will be FAT FOREVER.
Is food your shepherd, comfort, passion?
A) You can overcome it by overcoming excessive eating. (John 6:12- when they were filled, eat until you’re no longer hungry- not when you’re full) You can practice intermittent fasting. Try to limit your sugar intake.
2) This is about gaining a new perspective in life, not just losing weight. (1 Cor 9:27) (Matthew 6:33)
Be in shape, Be a soldier.
3) Submit our cravings to the Holy Spirit.
Uncontrolled appetite is gluttony.
Hunger gets satisfied when you eat properly at the right time. Cravings are the things of the flesh- Galatians 5:22-(Self control) they need to be subdued to the Holy Spirit- HE will give you the desire to control your cravings.
It is not about me trying harder BUT surrendering more to the HOLY SPIRIT even in the area of cravings/appetite
4) Practice Fasting - telling the body who is boss over it- to subdue our appetites( God gives me the Holy Spirit, and HE strengthens my willpower to say NO to the flesh.) Fasting to seek God. Submitting King Belly to KING JESUS.
John 3:30 is the key.
5) Rebuke the demon of gluttony
If you’re addicted to anything, it’s your company. It starts first as an appetite. Renounce and rebuke it.
Food is not your friend or comforter- the Holy Spirit is. Desire to Stop abusing the temple of GOD- Honor HIM with every part of your body inclusive of your mouth.
😂
thanks
Thank you.
I renounce and repent the spirit of Gluttony in the name of Jesus!
I’m thankful for this message. Gluttony is a generational curse in my family. I rebuked that demon to the abyss and am repenting and going to be the Bloodline Breaker on this!
Amen.
I may be wrong, but I feel like you might be a fellow Core Group Sister? 😊 How's it going with this issue? It's been an issue in my family too, and I'm READY to break the curse once and for all! Keeping you covered in prayer!
Amen
Gluttony is NOT a demon, but a lack of self-control, so a spiritual issue that is dealt with by prayer. Vlad, and other "demon-slaying, NAR false-teachers, are obsessed with demons! A true, born-again Christian who is indwelt with the Holy Spirit, CANNOT share that space with a demon! If you have a demon, you are NOT YET SAVED - repent and trust in Christ, and receive His Holy Spirit.
Amen
Man I needed this! Christian’s in America don’t talk about this sin hardly. God convicted me of this in my life through those Bible verses threes months ago. I started to surrender to the Spirit through intermittent fasting. I did experience food freedom after exercising this out which felt amazing. I literally stopped thinking about food and was able to do so much more productive things in my life. It was like that demon finally let go but unfortunately it returned and I had a really bad relapse yesterday that left me physically in pain. I was in such a depressed state but then this morning I saw this video and I knew God was saying get up don’t give up I’m going to help you. I rebuked the evil spirit in Jesus name and asked for the strength to overcome my flesh. We serve such a wonderful Savior!
Amen
Amen. I had the same experience I’ve been intermittent fasting for almost a year and have lost 40 lbs plus my guilt about food has gone away.
This is so true! I have become hopeless! Gluttony has been ruling me and caused me to be lazy! I am an emotional eater! I need deliverance..If you read my post please remember me in prayer 🙏🏽
I will remember you in prayer and I am asking you to please do this for me also as I have become an emotional eater too, ithink
Ask God to teach you self discipline ask Him to help you with self control. We are supposed to learn how to rule over and control our desires. Deliverance is not always the answer as it is often not a demon but ourselves doing it. I recently have been praying for God to help me with my self discipline in the area of eating. My bad time for snacking is after dinner. I can go most of the day not thinking much about food but after dinner the desire to snack is the strongest. I have cut out seed oils and cut back on carbohydrates and have increased protein and good natural fats. I still allow for having treats when I go to a special event. I am seeing God’s help in this area
How you doing now
I pray for your total victory over gluttony! YOU shall win the battle over gluttony!!!
🙏🏼
I’m watching this after being led to fast. I am renouncing the spirit of gluttony from my life and from the life of my family.
Lord I repent! And I receive balance plus proper fitness & dietary guidance right now. Amen.
I confess to my brothers and sisters in Christ that I struggle with this sin since childhood. It was one of first sins I took on after I allowed the spirit of Rejection to dwell in me and wreck havoc over my life and my health. I confess and repent of all the doors I let open to these spirits to torment me for 40 yrs. May the Lord grant me and others deliverance from this bondage and freedom from this life-long torment in Jesus name 🙏🏼
I repent and renounce the spirit of gluttony, I rebuke the demon of Gluttony in Jesus namn! I am yours Jesus, and your blood cleances me. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifies on the cross, Amen❤️
Right now, I bind and rebuke the demon of gluttony off me in the Name of Jesus! You are not my friend, you are not welcome, and you must go! I submit my body to the Holy Spirit and only to Him. I follow the leading and guidance of the Lord regarding food and food choices as well as fasting and prayer! Thank You, a lord, for delivering me, setting me free, keeping me free from all demonic influence in my life!
I repent and renounce the spirit of gluttony in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!!
God healed me and my mom from bulimia and anorexia.🎉🎉🎉 Thank you Jesus!
Yay! ✨🎉 That's beautiful; so happy for you!🎉✨
🎉🎉🎉 yes!!!!!!!
Please pray for me I'm still being overcome by it.
how? i am still struggling with anorexia
@@phobos2076 Prayer
I repent and rebuke the spirit of Gluttony in Jesus name🙏🏾
I am going to be very transparent right now and confess that I am struggling with this sin of gluttony and I repent and renounce this sin in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
I purposefully came on TH-cam for this sin to order a book about self-control,I’m done doing it in the flesh. Thank you!
Katie Souza. She had overeating problems. Search her up and know this that it is connected to soul wounds. Remember Esau? He was a freaking hunter you think he didn't eat before the soup that he saw Jacob had? His soul wanted it. Even freaking Isaac had soul wounds and that is why he liked Esau more.
What is the title of the book about gluttony that you're going to order?
@@judycrisenbery2982lmk I want to read it too
Jesus please , don't let poverty or other things happen to me. Please don't be angry at me. I don't want this,help me. I don't know how or why. Just help me. I am crying, I don't want this
“If you’re addicted to anything, you’ve got company” wow. How true that is!!! This was a great video and much needed. I’ve always found comfort in food and always turn to food when I’m stressed. I truly need to surrender this to God and rely more on the Holy Spirit to help me when I’m craving food for no reason. Thank you for the great video and always, glory and praise be to God.
How's it going now
Thank you for this message. I have overcome gluttony using these methods and spiritual tools, and I now am an eating disorders counselor. Many of my clients (and me too) can benefit from this message! I love finding Christ-centered solutions and wonderful to hear this message today. Christ IS the answer to every problem and sin.
What is your contact info?
I was literally going to do a video of the church’s acceptance of gluttony. It’s rampant in the church and rarely addressed. Thank you for this video!
I remember sitting across the table from a pastor and his wife. It was one of those buffet style restaurants. His salad plate was the size of a small platter, piled about 4” tall. I watched him gulp…yes, gulp it down rapidly, slide it aside and start on his steak, potato, vegetables and butter and bread…while listening to him talk about people who can’t give up alcohol, drugs, sins. I realized I had the same problem, eating for comfort, gaining weight, then comforting myself with desserts.
That’s when it was first revealed to me that gluttony was just as bad, and yet in our church circle of friends we all went out to eat (overeat?) after church services. May God open our eyes and help us not to judge others, but encourage them through their battles.
💯 I'm of Pentecostal faith and gluttony and pride are what I see the most, God bless!
It’s such a touchy subject for people, but not to God. I studied nutrition, fitness, and I’ve lead prayer team. It always hurts my heart to see peoples bodies broken in churches because they have had little or no teachings on self control, temperance, the truth about body function, or how to overcome temptation or spiritual attack. Even the churches that try often repeat the ideas from the broken world systems that are not a one size fits all solution from God. Sometimes people seeking prayer will ask me why they have these issues, when the issues they have, such as diabetes, can quite literally be from seeking the sweet life away from God, or not being able to hear God‘s instructions that don’t line up with their doctors. I’m specifically thinking of a particular person that couldn’t believe that they could have a spiritual issue tied to their current physical issues. Even the argument of genetics, and my body is not without issues, has a spiritual connection to generational misalignment to God, but God can give solutions and we cannot take offense that we are not perfect, if we were perfect would be God and wouldn’t need him. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I know what it’s like to be in remission for things the world says has no cures. God did not make our bodies to be broken, i’m not saying the solutions that God will give are equally the same, other than the fact that God has solutions for all even if we can’t yet access them. I know some of the reasons my body goes into dysfunction are man-made things that cause it dis-ease. From MSG to fluorescent lights my body needs me continually cautious not to put things into it that I’ve recognized cause it harm. Some of those things are hard to avoid, some of them are well within my control and that’s where temperance is needed. I’ve seen people need zero medication‘s because they were willing to be called to extreme self control and temperance despite genetic and generational issues, that didn’t mean it was easy, it meant they sought God on solutions and God gave them solutions. Not over eating is some thing that’s a clear and easy solution from God, but this stuff does get more nuanced. I pray that God is going to do another level of healing‘s, I’ve seen people immediately healed, but most of the time the healings I’ve seen are related to some form of temperance, self control, drawing near to seek God’s solutions, or an exercise of faith or deliverance. People try to do the right thing according to the world systems, but they need to ask God what his system for their unique life is. It may not be the same exact fitness and nutrition plan that the person standing right next to them will be given. Do US government claim people should have 11 servings of grains a day at the exact same time that they basically started spraying it with a round up and other toxins. You have to have faith in God giving you revelation, not that God gave someone else revelation for them that will work perfectly for you. Again, some of this is simple, God will bless those who try to eat food that is closer to how he intended it to be eaten, but we can’t make how we eat our God or fear eating the wrong thing or we’ve missed the point and grown in different spiritual issues. And sometimes there are spiritual issues we don’t realize. Nearly 20 years ago I was put on a medication I wasn’t meant to be put on and it was for less than two weeks and yet God had to deliver me recently from the damage done that I never even knew I had from it. It shouldn’t be a touchy subject, if we’re getting upset, it’s probably the Devil keeping us from our deliverance and healings by feeding off our pride. I receive deliverance by renouncing that I took something out of misaligned faith to the doctors and FEAR. I had literally forgotten I had even taken it, that didn’t mean it didn’t have a long lasting residual and generational lasting affect on my body and the bodies of my children born after that where a healing and deliverance was needed. But I broke it off in Jesus‘ name and I pray against that core spiritual issue of fear and misaligned faith that was the thing causing the actual damage. That said, that drug I took was pulled from the market for my young age group. At the time I felt I shouldn’t be taking it, but I wasn’t bold enough to stand on what I heard God saying to me. I hear now a lot of people saying they recently injected something into their arm that they feel physical or spiritual harm from. I just wanna encourage you if you feel called to repentance and renouncing do so, The truly seek out what God saying for you personally. I talked a long time but this is a multi faceted issue. And it’s really not being talked about.
You can't tell from looking at someone or watching them eat a meal that they are sinning. It is a matter in the heart.
the most dangerous sins are the ones no one talks about. like gluttony, covet, bitterness (thinking you have a right to do something wrong but just because you might have the "right" doesn't mean you should do it)
I needed to hear this today. Please pray for me. I’ve battled with food for the past decade. Since my deliverance God had freed my from many addictions, smoking, cocaine usage heavy alcohol. I’m now left dealing with food. I am not over weight but have a tendency to binge eat. A few years ago I thought I had over come this and was completely free but I slipped back into bad habits. I am desperate to over come this once again but feel weak and lacking in energy and motivation I’m not sure if this is addiction to fats salts and sugars or emotional eating but either way it affects my mental state as well as my physical please pray for me x
i know when i feel down or stressed ..or kind of lost not sure what to do...( even there s stuff i could do)
i end up overeating esp binge on chocolate😣
i found if i m positively busy like cleaning or working or motivated with cooking i m less attracted to binge. Also playing worship music and sing along to it.. helps.
All the best and so happy for you that you overcame your worst addictions!! you can do it! God Bless you!
Also...maybe try doing a fruit and vegetable fast - like you could do a smoothie diet or something even just for four to five days, within a certain window of eating - maybe eating between 6pm and 6 am or between 6 am and 6 pm...and see what happens! God is able! Once your body kicks into getting used to those fresh foods, your cravings for the salty and sweet things will disappear and you will also not want to eat so much - it's so amazing! Sending you wonderful wishes your way! God is Able! 😇
Matt 4:4/1-4
Same. I noticed my energy depleted drastically in the last couple of years and I think that toxic people around me also layer a huge part because of the negative words be spoken constantly over my life. That in itself caused such anxiety and depression that I just want to tune it out by having something to eat and watching a movie or something but definitely I’ve been depressed
@@candicetompkins3236 I believe you meant to say “the addiction of gluttony” and not “the addition.” God bless you.
Amen 🙏🏽🔥 The Lord put me on A 21 day Daniel fast to break the power of gluttony off my life. I actually just coming off today. I believe I have been delivered, because I felt the unclean spirit leave me as I called it out while reading the word loudly and in Jesus Name I will continue to walk in my deliverance from the belly.
Halleluja
Please pray for me, i think i have this evil spirit, i went on a Daniel fast not knowing about this but i am done with my Daniel fast and i still have cravings! Please pray for me!
@@didjesusdieforyoursinsyes2586Cutting out sugar and flour can help. Also, I advise fasting 1 day a week!
I’m dealing with this , & it’s really a struggle I want to be free … ‼️‼️‼️ it makes me lazy and sluggish and not want to fast … Thank you Im praying I will overcome this in Jesus name 🙌🏽‼️
me too 😞
Your not alone.
Me too! I haven't been able to complete my fast due to this
I would you would have to find out the root cause of it & deal with that it will help it
This was a message I have been needing to hear. I’ve been struggling with an eating disorder for over 15 years. It has produced the side effects of laziness, hopelessness and depression. I’ve rebuked, binded, and cast out gluttony and addiction many times lol, but nothing beats the temptation of my own my mind. Finally I had to just give up and give it totally to God. My own strength doesn’t work. So through my uncle, God reminded me that to “take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” means that I can’t indulge in even the thought of overeating. As soon as I picture myself eating an entire cake, I’ve lost the battle. It’s similar to adultery, in that even having the temptation of bingeing in my heart is akin to the sin of gluttony. It’s just as hard as quitting any other sin except it’s a battle that occurs at least 3 times a day which is why I find fasting to be helpful. It wipes away some of the pressure of not eating too much at any given meal by just not eating at all. When I first started intermittent fasting to remedy my ED, I began overeating at the one meal at the end of the day, so I had to repent for that as well and place that in Gods hands . All I can do is give it to Him and do my best. ❤
I can relate!! Thank you for the revelation that even the thought of overeating is a sin like adultery is. God bless you
@@Lorena_santacruz James 4:17 “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” For me after 15+ years and now knowing what I know, it is like a sin for me because I been down that road thousands of times lol. So not sure if it’s a sin for everyone, but definitely something to consider especially if the Holy Spirit impresses it upon ones heart! God bless!💕 ✝️🙏🏾
@@chrisyv8053 yes I know exactly what you mean and I don’t think it’s a sun for everyone but I know for me it is.
God bless you and thank you for this confirmation that I needed 🙏🏼❤️
I learned, from listening to Derek Prince, that we have to know the difference when we need to bind and cast out a spirit or crucifying our flesh. I believe that in this case it is a need of crucifying our flesh. When we do this the enemy will have to flee and you will be delivered... It happened for me! We make the pledge to honor our body as it now belongs to Abba Father as His dwelling place🤗
Guys i got delivered from glutto y but this did not happen overnight. God delivered me over a period of time that lasted for about a year.don t be too harsh on yourselves either. We r people and we have weaknesses and traumas and that s why we turn to food. We take sth we nedd for now. When God fills us more, we won t take what we need any more. But, i mean, we don t overeat bc we r bad, we r traumatised emotionally and only God can heal us . And that s when we want it with all our heart. God does not go against our free will
The lord spoke directly to me, as being overweight my whole life due to gluttony. I've dealt with depression since childhood, felt that food comforted me. This means I need to seek the lord instead of food.
Amen. Cutting out sugar and flour can help. Also, I advise fasting 1 day a week!
Same!! How are you doing now?
I have been struggling with this for YEARS. It wasn't until very recently I realized I was dealing with actual sin. I have often wondered why this is a topic never preached on in church. As I was listening to this, I had the most overwhelming desire to stuff my face with cookies and coffee and junk. Thank you Jesus for me seeing this video and thank you Vlad for making it.
Boy have I battled gluttony God has helped me with this with prayer and fasting. God has changed my life and he can help you too whoever reads this. Thank you I love you pastor may God bless your ministry.
Thank you. I have been struggling with gluttony for many years. I’m desperate for freedom. Release my chains, Father ❤
Lord hear her prayers
This is such a great teaching, This can be used under the addiction of the phones too. “ Behind every idol , is a demon”
That's true. I'm struggling with that too.
I witnessed that While listening to Dan Mohler. Two demons left my Phone.
💯💯💯 I'm battling phone addiction, it's real
Never thought of that, but duh! Yes, I know instantly, it's true
I agree it has nothing to do with size because I am pretty tiny and had to be delivered from the demon of gluttony. Love these videos especially since they are rarely spoken about or taught on ❤️❤️
" Love these videos especially since they are rarely spoken about or taught on ❤❤"
You recognize it. That's good. I'm in my 40s and just started to realize it. What is it in Christianity that this one is so easily brushed aside? It's evident in scripture. It's clear in the summary or exposition of doctrine in many Churches. Why is it rarely ever highlighted in sermons/homilies/pastoring? It's almost like, "It's not okay, but you'll be okay."
I’ve noticed that recently I definitely struggle with overindulgence.. I guess I always have with one thing or another.. at least now it’s the lesser of evils but still.
I definitely am not overweight but I over indulge in my favorite sweets when I’m feeling some type way… 🍭🍬
Please pray for me you guys.
I need relief from overindulge and I need freedom, balance and stability. In Jesus name.
I pray for the same for all of you as well. Praise Jesus!!
this is the one sin i struggle with the most. i weight lift and that honestly sends my gluttony into overdrive because “gains” but i know i need to meal prep healthy food and healthy portions and eat slower and maybe eat these meals with God in His presence so i can be mindful. this video is so helpful, especially with Thanksgiving coming up 😅 lol
I’m right there with you! We got this ❤
@@amandaescamilla yes we do sis!💓
Same 😂
@Chad W I don’t think it’s useless at all. I love being strong, being able to lift things is super helpful because i used to be so weak i couldn’t even carry anything for a long time, lugging groceries upstairs at apartment complexes, lifting things into the car, picking up children, etc. I also love that my husband is strong as well for the same reasons. it’s not so much about physique but about health and strength. moving your body and getting exercise is essential to keep your temple healthy. i agree that there is a lot of narcissism involved with that culture but heart posture is what matters. God has been really working on me in this area and shown me a lot. we can have different opinions and God wants us to have hobbies we enjoy. going to the gym is a great hobby, better than sitting at home doing nothing. some people enjoy running, riding bikes and others enjoy weight lifting. just let people have fun man lol
@@SimplySami13 Amen sis! I think you've answered Chad W correctly in many ways. I also look at it as being filled in strength in our body, mind and soul as a union to defeat on every spiritual level. We are a 100% force to reckon with. When my body is strong, my mind follows and my emotional confidence is ever driven to God because it includes him. It enforces dedication towards everything we are entrusted to honor in our vessel. Many, many preachers go to the gym or have a personal trainer for their own spiritual reason. The enemy. xoxo, Mia
I needed this message. Lord I repent of the Spirit of gluttony, I renounce that spirit and I close every open door to the Spirit Of Gluttony in Jesus name!
The Holy Spirit surely led me to this teaching. Glory to Jesus. This temple needs to be respected. Thank you Pastor.
I repent of gluttony. I agree that i am delivered from gluttony in Jesus Name Amen
Being mindful of food. Eating dinner and then fasting for 16 hrs so that your eating window is no longer than 8 hrs. A 20 hr fast after dinner and up until your first meal will result in slow steady weightloss.
Fasting is what actually added to my eating. I am not an overweight person but I originally started fasting until noon to help encourage a coworker. Once I ate lunch, I just kept snacking until supper and then ate supper, even though full. I would then be miserable. Eventually, I started feeling sick for days. I’ve battled with constipation my whole life but it got worse than normal & fiber didn’t seem to help much. I started eating a big bowl of popcorn after supper or I’d crave sweets so I’d snack on dry cereal. I recently got so tired of feeling sick that I knew I had to do something. I used self control for a 2 day period, eating basic lunch & supper & that’s it. I felt so much better. Now I am listening to this & I am seeing the importance of this. Seeing my stomach as my god saddens me. I will stop exalting my King belly & rebuke the demon of gluttony. I was getting out of control. I want to be a good steward of my body & this just reinforces what I’ve been feeling. Thank you Pastor.
Please please help me to pray to bind this demon. This message was meant for me and it's exactly where I am right now 😭😭😭
Do not pray to demons!!! Rebuke the demon by saying "I rebuke the spirit of gluttony and all other unclean spirits temping me in mighty name of JESUS CHRIST!!!”
Say that and humble yourself under Jesus . But DO NOT pray to demons, because that leads to demonic satanic things . We ONLY pray to GOD!!
Vlad! Thank you!! This was much much needed and right on time! I hate that so many of God’s children have fallen prey to the evil spirit of gluttony. I hate even more that it is an accepted sin in the body of Christ! The BRIDE needs an awakening and deliverance from this evil!
I’ve struggled with gluttony for my whole life and I’m praying for God to help me overcome it
The Holy Spirit remind me that my body is His temple. It means I have to consider whatever I take in, including food and beverage. My first reaction was nooooo I don’t want to eat healthy foods only, they taste bad 😵💫 and then He said to me who do you think created those food? Don’t you think I know what is good food for you? It’s really true, only He knows what we really need and also what we really like. The food that I thought I like, turns out I don’t really like and certainly not best for me. He knows what is best and how to fulfil us. After all, our body IS His temple. Not ours.
I battle with gluttony !! I renounce the demon of gluttony! Jesus you are the lord over my appetite! Father I submit my appetite to you ! Help me on this lifestyle change ! I need you Jesus !! I need you Jesus 😭😭😭
I repent of the spirit of gluttony. Jesus is my comfort. Thank you God for this message.
I pray for the freedom from gluttony and alcohol in myself and family members.. in JESUS name Amen 🙏
This video is for me . Thank you for sharing ! I struggle with comfort eating and overeating 😩
😞😞🥺 same here
me too 😞
Me too.
3 things that have helped me:
1. Cutting out sugar and flour
2. Fasting 1 day a week
3. Replacing overeating with worshipping God and being filled by Him. A great resource that really helped me: LOVE DIET from Visionwriters International. (Not a typical diet; more like a Bible study.)
Wow, ever heard a sermon on gluttony like this. Pastor Vlad is such a blessing with his broad spectrum of anointed messages!
There's not enough sermons like this
@@jerrellkuilan I 100% agree!!!!
Thank you Pastor Vlad, I struggle with gluttony and I cling to it thinking I can control it and need it but deep down I know it’s destroying me by enslaving me. May God set me free 🙏🏽
I have been struggling with gluttony 🙏🏾 it’s been a battle but today I repent and yield to the Holy Spirit for strength to overcome this sin✝️🙏🏾
Thank you for this very good message. It is so very true. One of my first noticeable breaththroughs was actually yesterday, when I stopped eating after ("only") one piece of chicken with some potatoes and broccoli. I am so accustomed to eating more -- especially of the chicken, usually at least two to three times what I ate in that meal yesterday. One thing that helped me was that I was sharing my meal with a Christian friend (and housemate) who does not struggle with such issues. Technically the chicken was "mine," and I had only four pieces (thighs) which are her favorite piece of chicken as well. (We don't eat chicken or meat all that often.) I gave her one piece and myself one piece and she was satisfied after her one piece. I realized that if I had another piece there would no longer be enough to share with her the next day. This helped break me -- at least at this meal -- of feeling I "must" have more than one piece. Not longer after I felt such a good "clear conscience" sense of satisfaction, feeling not at all hungry. It sounds like such a small thing, but for me this was huge. What I am trying to say is also that an additional way to break the gluttony thing is to share with others -- and of course since all our bodies are His temple, the very best to share is healthful food, at least most of the time. Words like yours here today, dear Vlad, are a great support for me as well. This is an issue I have been dealing with for most of my life, so I am not presuming it is over, but I AM deciding it is over, with the help of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for such a balanced and helpful word.
Gosh I needed to hear this .Caffeine cravings are high level in my life and needs to be submitted to God.Thank you for this clip!
Same here.
Me too!
Same here. I worked by Starbucks for 9,5 years and am a Coffee Master. One day like 2 weeks ago exactly I just quit my job and didn't went back. I only drink now 1-2 cup of coffee in the morning amd that's it. Still Starbucks coffee because of the quality but the purpose of this has to do that the Holy Spirit is directing me on a path of understanding of everything around me.
I have the same problem 😔
@@elisabethchundro1776 I know coffee has been a weakness of mine, especially when I waitressed serving breakfasts at a well known restaurant years ago.
I used to not be concerned with where I patronized. But when I found out who were major funders if shedding innocent blood, I won't go there again. GOD hates the shedding of innocent blood. 🙏💗📖🕊️
This message just appeared in my feed as in struggling right now today with my fasting. It's the second message God sent to me.
Am battling with this spirit. Please pray for me.
What a WORD!!
This ministered to me!
As a Evangelist wife- we often see churches where some look “ holy” on the outside but it’s evident that The spirit of gluttony rules. This is a sin that no one talks about in the spirit filled church. Help me Jesus to be an Overcomer! Change starts today and I believe victory is on the way. Thank you for this bold message.
Absolutely i see this alot in churches they will call out other sins but they are grossly overweight but will never preach on this double standard
I have OCD and have always been afraid I was a glutton when just eating enough to maintain my body weight. I haven’t found anyone to really explain to me what gluttony is until this video. This gives me so much relief to know what it actually is. Thank you!
Amen Lord! Thank you for this video. I rebuke the spirit of gluttony. I love you God and appreciate your wisdom support and love. The Bible says I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me ❤
I've been guttony my whole life, i fasted a lot but never see a change. I rebuke and renounce the demon of gluttony in Jesus name!
You can always fast but if you go straight back to eating how you did, you won’t see a change.
@@thetitaniumwoman5561 I've been trying not to but sometimes i can't stop myself. I start skipping breakfast, and it's somehow helping.
This is my third time listening to this right after I just got through listening and I plan to listen again. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. I also need this desperately.
I used to battle with gluttony but ever since doing regular Detoxing and quitting sugar that's not an issue anymore. Thank you Jesus!! It still tries to creep it's ugly head but now I at least recognize it! Hallelujah 🙌🏾 wheres before I didn't and just gave into the cravings.
God has opened my eyes to the sin of gluttony in my life. I repent and renounce the spirit of gluttony in the name of Jesus!
Thank you so much for this word. Ice cream is NOT my comfort! Amen.
I probably watched it 6 times and then watched it again to take notes. The message is so precise. I repent for letting food be my comforter, I rebuke the demon of gluttony and ask Holy Spirit to be my comforter.
Thank you for having this information so backed up with Scripture, the truth of God really sets free.
If you read this message help me pray for my husband to overcome gluttonee
The Bible doesn’t say you shouldn’t drink alcohol. It talks about drunkenness, there’s a difference
#3 That makes sense because I have days where I want something, but I don't know what I want and I automatically go to the fridge because I think I'm craving something to eat physically. *Revelation* What if it is my spirit, my soul, is hungry. I am going to make a conscious effort to drink water and read or listen to God's Word. Glory Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Vlad! God bless. Amen.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I have renounced and rebuked the spirit of gluttony!
Walk in your freedom in Jesus'Mighty Name 🕊️
Lord thank you for delivering me from the spirit of gluttony.
I am battling with gluttony. I have realized it is a generational curse that needs to be broken off.
I received this message. No one had broken it down like this for me. Thank you.
I've discovered traditional eating times actually don't reflect what my body needs. I don't need three meals a day . My small frame doesn't require it. I have noticed that I am not really hungry at times, just thirsty.
I’m constantly battling this spirit and I know it’s impacting my finances. However I am not hopeless I know through Christ and work I will overcome…
This is TRUTH. Years ago a Sunday School Teacher said to also look up every scripture that had to do with our mouth, eating etc..anything to do with eating. He said for one thing when we do this a benefit is we don't have time to eat. Acknowledge, confess, repent and renounce.
This was great. Thank You.
Powerful words" if your addicted to anything you've got company" thank you for this teaching.
thank you so much I do suffer from this I get very depressed and also I get lazy you hit it on the dime...I need to get a grip I'm very embarrassed🙏please pray for me
A good level of “embarrassment” or “shame” is good I think, I also struggle with gluttony, it’s weird because I’m losing weight, but same as you I get tired unmotivated, depressed,mood swings, we gotta put God before those cravings God bless you my friend I’m gonna say a prayer for you ❤
🙏🏼
Oh my goodness ive been praying for the Lord to deliver me from the Spirit of gluttony for the past few days. THANK YOU LORD FORN LISTENING TO OUR PRAYERS!
I have battled with bulimia for 29 years and I am desperate to be freed. Vlad is speaking truth that it robs you of so many things. I do well for a bit then fall back into the pit. Holy Spirit I need your strength to overcome and be set free.
Rebecca, there is freedom in Him, I also struggled with bulimia for 26 years. He set me free by His grace and have been free for 20 years.
Father you are no respecter of persons so what you did for me you will do for sweet Rebecca, your precious daughter. Father I pray you would break every chain that holds her and silence the lies that the enemy is speaking to her. I speak balance in her life and give her “purity” in her eating and in her health. It’s all at your feet Lord Jesus, set her free.
Amen
bulimia is a very very very serious illness.....................i struggled with it from age 28 to 50, and I HATED MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and beat myself up because i had no will power....BUT I COULD NOT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in sheer desperation i went to a doctor for help, i was put on a medication, and yes, the vomiting stopped you do not have a problem with self control, will power, or demons. Your electrolytes in your brain are all messed up and your subconscious animal brain is over-riding your logical thinking brain.............you need serious medical intervention. Yes, the Lord Jesus is your life and your strength, but sometimes medical intervention is the answer. Pray for guidance to be led to a medical professional who can help you
@@nancyritland9116 what medication did they put you on?
at the time.....i had NO MONEY, i was on medical assistance....a doctor who could barely speak english literally overdosed me on prozac.............i literally went out of my mind..BUT after that super high dose of prozac the vomiting stopped. while i was bulimic i was in a cult......totally cut off from all help..I am out of the cult now, and working with a therapist, and doing well .........i have come a long way in correcting my eating behaviors, i have learned that serious exercise, regular quality sleep and drinking alot of water is an absolutely necessary part in correcting disordered eating....i have also learned that black currant seed oil TREMENDOUSLY! supports the body in many ways....since i started taking black currant softgels, i can see a difference.....look it up on u tube.....just today i learned that mixing liquid black current oil with honey and taking it that way, is really really good you you!!!!!!!!!@@frick6946
Thank you for this message. I never thought that there was a difference between hunger and craving. I am in this battle now with OA. I pray to be healed, delivered, and set free. In Jesus name, amen.
I confess that I struggle with Gluttony… I’m asking for prayer for deliverance
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Woke up unable to sleep at 334 am.. Ty for your video. I see now the seriousness of this idolatry. I renounce gluttony now in Jesus name.. ty..
I would come across this video right after, I’m stuffed with my dinner 😂. Lord I receive this word of correction. Lord deliver me from gluttony or any greed in my life. Amen 🙏🏽
I struggle with this when it comes to sugar. I literally cried out to GOD last night and said I am weak I cannot do this on my own. I knew I was in idolatry because God asked me to stop and I didn't want to.
Brother search up also Katie Souza about gluttony. Soul wounds are involved there too.
I rebuke the demon or spirit of gluttony in Jesus Christ mighty name and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen 🙏🏾🛐✝️❤️💕
Oh my I'm dealing with this now I feel God wants me to deal with deeper issues he delivered me from years of heroin addiction. Now it's gluttony I feel the devil's trying to destroy me. Thank you for this I'm in your fast forward group.
Jesus has helped me overcome so many addictions. Nicotine, alcoholism, weed, candy… but those demons try to remain in as many ways as they can. Now I’m over here abusing my heart with caffeine. I’ll shoot my shot here, pray for me to overcome stimulants and discover the natural energy that God provides. God Bless you, amen 🤍🙏🏽
The same power that raised Jesus from the dead resides in you, which is the very Spirit of God, if you’ve kept the faith and believed in Jesus Christ. Continue the race which is the upward calling of God.
I’ve been struggling with this for 10+ years! Bulimia and binge eating. I tried to do the Esther fast and only was able to do 2 days so I felt some shame but I’m working on this every single day. I am getting better every day but still leaning on Gods strength to overcome this.
Check out brother Noah Hines deliverance prayers on TH-cam on eating disorders/gluttony. And also on mind binding/ mind control spirits. I also tried many times to do three day fasts but always broke early. The Lord used his prayers to set me free- and now I’m seeking Him for further deliverance to get out the root of this disorder. I was able to do my first 3 day fast afterward! I’m going to continue to work on fasting and limiting my sugar and caffeine intake.
The Lord wants us free and knows what keeps us bound! May He give you freedom sister.
I battle this, i confess it & ask jesus to deliver me right now
I stopped looking towards Jesus and the worries of life started slowly to creep in , thought The Holy Spirit let me know how to proceed and guided me here to remind me , amen and amen
Amen everthing you've said is true. I'm am currently suffering from gluttony. Praise God for this message and I renounce the wicked spirit of gluttony in the name of Yeshua Hamashiach
Thank you so much for this word; I desperately needed this. No more can I think of Psalm 23, my favourite scripture, without thinking of how aptly it was used to describe this awful habit/addiction/demonic obsession. It has kickstarted my self deliverance. Hallelujah 🙌🏼 I renounce and repent of gluttony in the name of Jesus. No more will I defile the temple of the Holly Ghost, in the name of Jesus. Amen
God is good ❤️ He has been putting videos about gluttony in my feed for a few weeks now to give me the message and today He gave me this video that not only talks about gluttony, but defines it and explains it so perfectly. God is always working. He knew this would be the video I would end up clicking on after I got the message. He knows each one of His children so well. How to instruct us in a way that helps us grow and change. I pray for all of you who also struggle with gluttony. God bless you ❤️
What a powerful Biblical prospective on gluttony, which is rarely addressed in church. Thanks for this video. I needed this.
I definitely struggle with gluttony. I lost a little over 20 pds and people say I look great but everyday is a struggle.
Thank you Pastor Vlad for this video, Thank You Jesus for bringing me here and helping through another day. I pray to overcome the desires of the flesh and complete the will of my Father. I pray this for myself as well as ever single person out there. You're not alone. With God anything is possible.
God bless you Pastor Vlad and God bless you sodiers! Keep your heads up!
