MY FRIENDS, IN ALL THINGS, DO TO THE GLORY AND HONOR OF GOD!!
My Friends, We are often made sick by the overindulgence of our appetites. We usually eat what suits our taste, not what’s good for us. Thus we weaken the digestive organs, and injure the power of the digestive system to assimilate the food that is fundamental in sustaining a healthy mind and body.
Thus our delicate bodies become deteriorated by improper eating habits. But let’s never fool ourselves. Sin and Satan’s desire that we all lose sight of Christ saving grace, lies at the door. In addition, we allow that door to become our mouth and what we consume in it each and every day.
My friends, if we allow appetite to Rule our mind and body then the final result will be the disintegration of the spiritual part of what God intended for us from the beginning. One of the strongest temptations that we will ever have to face is probably upon the point of appetite.
Remember, our first parents lost Eden by the gratification and indulgence of appetite and now our only hope of regaining what was lost as we 
stand at the threshold of the promise land is through the firm denial of one’s inappropriate eating habits.
In addition, if only we as Christians could conquer on this point, then we would have the moral power through Christ to gain the victory over every other temptation that Satan tries to attack us on. But those who remain slaves to appetite will forever fail, in perfecting Christian character.
My friends, as we near the close of this life’s history, Satan’s temptation of the flesh, and the passion of improper eating habits, will be more powerful and more difficult to overcome.
But Satan can only attack us when we allow the affairs of this world to outweigh our relationship with God and the amount of time we spend each day in studying His word and doing His will.
Consistent with this, Christ was also tempted in appetite, But His words to Satan are one’s we as Christians should all use as Christ prepares our character for His pure and holy kingdom “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (and not just the words we deem appropriate for our lifestyle) but every word of God”
And my friends as we focus on God’s word, we then allow the power of God’s Spirit to dictate our appetite. So let’s learn for ourselves what we should eat, and what kinds of food best nourish the entire mind and body, and then follow the dictates of reason and conscience through the renewal of Gods Spirit each and every day.
Remember “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against, the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand…Above all, taking the shield of faith…
And the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit… Eph. 6:12-
18 (KJV) So My friends Remember “those who will not eat and drink from principle, will never regulate there mind and body by principle, in other areas of their lives.” (E. G. White Health Reform Principles)
Our eating habits should always and forever, be regulated from a moral and religious stand point, that is based on Christ example. So my friends, we are to be temperate in all things, because an incorruptible crown, and eternal life, is before us.
Paul states in 1 Cor. 10:31 (KJV) “Therefore whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” John also states in 1 John 3:2 (KJV) “Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
