So what do you consume on a daily basis? Do you start your day with Spiritual food or worldly food? Both are necessary for the body; one nourishes and the other cleanses! Say for instance, you may have eggs, bacon and pancakes for breakfast. Perhaps some of you may have a bowl of cereal or a donut and some orange juice. Lunch could consist of McDonald's, or Wendy's or White Castle if you live in the Midwest!
Dinner could be a frozen pizza, spaghetti, or a lean cuisine!
We are all aware, by now, that today's foods contain preservatives, additives and chemicals that are harmful to the body! However, we all are not created the same! You could have a high metabolism and maintain your same weight; no matter what you eat; being totally oblivious to the damage it is doing internally! Others have developed hypertension, diabetes, or obesity from their poor diets - yet they still consume the very foods causing the damage!
Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. 18 They are darkened in their understanding,alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. 19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that is not the way you learned Christ!— 21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:17-24 ESV)
Spiritual food consists of reading the bible, praying, and unselfishly giving to others! It cleanses internally all of the junk (envy, hate, worry, jealousy, etc), that causes blockage also! The fruit we consume is sweet, low in calories; and contains essential vitamins that keep the internal organs healthy! The Fruit of the Spirit (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control [Galatians 5:22-23 ESV]); cleanses all unrighteousness down to the core so righteousness and right living overtakes it and gives it a new way of living; healthy, whole and perfect in Christ!
About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. 14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:11-14 ESV )
