Jason’s Food War

Friday, August 31st, 2012

Life..  It has Up’s and it has down’s.  Especially as a Christian trying to follow Christ and his leading in my life.  My I have posted allot about my life and what I think about. But this one is different.  It is a prayer request.  I am writing this in the aftermath to a deadly loss to food.  Only but minutes ago I was stuffing my face with sin I did not need or want.  A couple of years ago I was 373 Lbs and decided I was tired of being fat and ignoring God’s prompting to food being a sin in my life.  So I went on a diet and exercise life style change program.  I did well and I lost 101 Lbs. During this time God and I fixed so many issues with my life and he taught me so many things. Until about 11 months ago when the devil decided to start attacking me differently than he had before.  He started using food more and more.  Have you ever been on a diet and doing good only to be offered FREE Prime Rib. Ya well I have.. and unfortunately I  sinned bad that night.  I find that food is way to abundant and free when it is a sin. This battle is seemingly getting harder and harder for me. How is it that I can go from So many victory’s and walking with God to consistently to  falling on my face in sin and crawling back to the Black Hole of sin where I lived for so many years.  I feel like a hay bale target for the sins arrows.  I really enjoyed walking with God  and now I find myself gaining weight back.  My sin in food is always in secret like a lot of sin. Not around good godly people  who encourage me .. ” Even if they are Offering Free Food”.  I have learned a lot about the real War going on with satin and his demons.  I think that now that I have tasted victory in food,  satin must have assigned a food demon to me to sling free arrows of sin into my body.  I seem to have misplaced my armor…  Why…  Lord Please Never let me become complacent with sin and never lose my armor.  So the point to this is to publically ask for help .. Please pray for me … I Will find victory again and walk with my Lord..  And every prayer is a small swing of the hammer against this mountain of sin.  If we keep swinging the mountain will disappear.  Prayer Works..  And I have faith that I will find victory over food again. Ps all we need is a mustard seed ……. Thanks  Your Friend Jason Joslin
