THE ENEMY OF SLOTH AND GLUTTONY pvb. 16

THE ENEMY OF SLOTH AND GLUTTONY

GLUTTONY IS A SYMPTOM OF SLOTHFULNESS. (SPIRITUAL SLOTHFULNESS MORE THAN ANYTHING). It's settling for less than what God intended for our lives. It's really a ploy
of the enemy to keep us sick, weak and asleep. If we "default" in the war for our souls that what we do. Get sick, weak spiritually and go to sleep spiritually. HAPPY IS THE WOMAN
WHO DOES NOT CONDEMN HERSELF IN WHAT SHE ALLOWS. HAPPY IS THE WOMAN WHO EATS, DRINKS AND DOES WHAT SHE DOES TO GLORIFY THE KING OF KINGS.

7 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
(EVEN THE ENEMY OF SLOTH AND GLUTTONY) "IF YOU EAT, DRINK, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD."

Dealing with our fears and insecurities by overeating, is life on the run, life like a child. When I was a child, I thought like a child, (ate like a child).

13Right and just lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right. (I think this should include the words that go on inside us)

Fear of the future makes the Lord sad..... read Is 8. it talks about it there. 16 How much better it is to get skillful and godly Wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.(E) When we eat for our own pleasure we are living a sensual life rather than one of

17 The highway of the upright turns aside from evil; he who guards his way preserves his life. THAT'S HOW WE NEED TO LIVE, ON GUARD, THAT'S WHAT WILL PRESERVE OUR LIFE.

18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. (OVEREATING IS WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF OUR OWN SPARKS, IT LEADS TO SORROW)

19 Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the meek and poor than to divide the spoil with the proud. (OVEREATING IS GREED)

20 He who deals wisely and heeds [God's] word and counsel shall find good, and whoever leans on, trusts in, and is confident in the Lord--happy, blessed, and fortunate is he.

21The wise in heart are called prudent, understanding, and knowing, and winsome speech increases learning [in both speaker and listener]. (When we are self condemned due to over

eating, we make others pay.) Sometimes in more ways than one, and it's costs us. "Feeding on the winds", we forsake Mercy and Blessings God has stored up for us. So, is part

of your overeating about punishing yourself? Self flagellation? Self righteousness? Mine has been in the past.

22 Understanding is a wellspring of life to those who have it, but to give instruction to fools is folly. IT'S A WELLSPRING OF HEALTH TOO.........

23 The mind of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning and persuasiveness to his lips. WE INSTRUCT OUR MOUTH IN THE RIGHT WAY TO EAT.

24 Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body. THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO TAKE HEED (LUKE 21) LEST OUR HEARTS BE OVERCHARGED BY OVEREATING!!!!

25 There is a way that seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death. (I'LL EAT TEMPERATELY TOMORROW) ONLY TOMORROW NEVER

COMES.

26 The appetite of the laborer works for him, for [the need of] his mouth urges him on. (ONLY HELL AND DESTRUCTION ARE NEVER FULL, SO WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL WHAT GOES

ON IN OUR MIND AND TAKE OUR THOUGHTS CAPTIVE.



29 The exceedingly grasping, covetous, and violent man entices his neighbor, leading him in a way that is not good. WE TAKE OTHERS ON OUR FOOD DRUNK WITH US TO THEIR DESTRUCTION.

30 He who shuts his eyes to devise perverse things and who compresses his lips [as if in concealment] brings evil to pass.

IF YOU SHUT YOUR EYES TO SPIRITUAL SLOTHFULNESS AND GLUTTONY, YOU WILL BRING EVIL TO PASS.

THE TRUE WAY OF LIFE BRINGS DISCIPLINE. A DISCIPLE IS ONE UNDER DISCIPLINE. DISCIPLINE IS FREEDOM. IF THE SON SETS YOU FREE, YOU ARE FREE INDEED. IF YOU LOOK TO HIM, PRAY TO HIM, EAT LIKE HE IS WITH YOU SITTING NEXT TO YOU. CARE ABOUT HIM, AND THAT HE'S WITH YOU WATCHING YOU, YOU WILL OVERCOME. LOVE HIM AND HE WILL HELP YOU TAKE CARE OF WHAT HE LOVES.............. YOU!!!!!
