We have been deceived into believing that we adore food, we worship the taste, we love the feeling of control. We long for a secret rendezvous with food..
After you taste the world and its pleasures, you are empty and you are left in need again. You become even more out of control and desperate. But this is when you should “transfer”…when you feed your longing soul with a search for your Creator, His will, and His personality...
Again, you fall in love with what you focus on. What are you focused on? God created this phenomenon in hopes that you would find Him, not become dependent on idols, food, affluence, alcohol, lusts, or praise of man...
We must transfer this relationship with our idol (food, lusts, materialism, drugs, etc.) over to a relationship with God. You have to learn that every time your mind goes to your idol, you need to get it off and concentrate on higher callings...
You are never going to lose ALL the weight until you finally say, “I am not having a relationship with that food anymore!” Flee it! Turn around and say “NO!” and make a decision to have a relationship with God instead. God is begging you for a relationship. Do not run back to the relationship with food...
