Titled my message today: You are what you eat.
 Some of us spiritually feed on fast food diet, which is mainly Sunday’s only, but others might snack through the week, maybe a scripture or 2, or tbn or just something quick, it’s easier.
 But when Christ returns will he find faith on the earth? ( Lu 18:8)
 Many of us don’t partake of Christ.
 We go through the motions, and let somebody else sing, somebody else produce words to a song and watch it on powerpoint and listen to what someone else got from God all week
 I don’t want a church that is weak anemic barely getting by church
 I want our church to be strong because the people are strong, they’ve been in prayer and the Word,
 Dan 11:32 the people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits
 The church is strong because God has sent the corn, the wine, the oil
 The people are strong, God has sent the rain
John 6:63 my Words are spirit and they are life
 Ex: Super Size Me, gained 30-40 lbs in one month and took him 1 ½ years to work it off
 Losing weight is not easy, as Jesus cleans house in our temple, it is not just what is there that can be harmful, but what keeps coming in that clutters your ability to live, or distract you from your present purpose.
 Can’t stop a bird from flying over your head, but you can keep it from making a nest in your hair.
 Ex: I really enjoy Macdonalds from time to time…or how about a whopper with cheese?
McDonalds Facts…
 After you eat that food you feel like slitting your wrists after about 30min
 Spiritually we starving ourselves from the quality of spiritual meat that only Jesus can give
 John 4:32 I have meat to eat that you don’t know about
 Please tell me about it.
 John 16:12 you can’t handle it right now. Not ready
If we were to receive exactly what we are asking from God, it could potentially destroy us because we are not ready for it
Ex: everybody is talking about colon cleansing, John Wayne when he died, it was said that he had 40-50 lbs of fecal matter that had accumulated over time, they removed it from him.
Detox
One of the ways that we can detox is John 3:30
John 3:30 (King James Version)
30He must increase, but I must decrease.
 Ex: when you load a new program on your computer it says do you want to restart now?
 God wants to re-boot you and allow new product to come from you.
 You have a responsibility to submit to that process
 You are what you eat.
 What does your spiritual diet look like or where does it lack?
 You have got to eat this book
 B90X reading through the bible in 90 days,
 You are the salt of the earth? But if you have lost your flavor what good are you?
Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.
Time to return to Jesus and the basics of the Gospel
Luke 15:11-31 (New Living Translation)
We have a generation of people that are spiritually starving, anorexic,not the unchurched, but the churched.
Like the older brother, he is so religious, and the father says all that I have ever had is yours, but you never thought to eat it for yourself.
You are what you eat.
