Detox

Matthew 4:1-22; 13:54-58; Mark 1:12-20; 6:1-6;Luke 4:1-30; 5:1-11; John 1:35-2:12: Some friends and I have been on a detox for about 4 weeks now. I can tell you that just being on that detox has brought out some things in me that I have not liked. When I am hungry, I am not always sweet. I know faint and fall out right. lol. I also find that I focus a whole lot more on food when I can’t have it. But I have also found out that I can say no! I can express self discipline in when and what I eat and with the Father’s help I can be successful. I wonder how Jesus felt as He was fasting for those 40 days. It said that the angels came and ministered to Him. I know that one of the most effective things I have done was to have other believers in this thing with me and we have all been praying for one another. I too have found that “Man doesn’t live by bread alone but by the Word of God”. His word can help you when you think you can’t. I have found that determination is something from within and no one can give you their determination or self discipline. Jesus was going through so much more than I could ever identify with, but I know that saying no to food and things even for a short time can be beneficial to our spiritual growth.
