Craving God Not Food - Asheritah Ciuciu

You can have a healthy relationship with food. Jim Daly and John Fuller talk with Asheritah Ciuciu on her book, Full: Food, Jesus and the Battle for Satisfaction.
You can find her book on our store here: bit.ly/2JsaecF
Asheritah shares on “food fixation” and some of the lies women believe about food such as: “I deserve a treat,” “I must clean my plate” “I messed up so I give up.” She shares how women can choose truth over lies and fill their minds with scriptural truth, how to awaken a desire for God, and utilizing community in your journey to find ultimate satisfaction in God.

    Once you realize the sinfulness of overeating, and realize how hard it is to break the addiction, it will wreck your life as you feel out of control. you will realize you really are. sometimes you need to be wrecked before you can be repaired.

    Thank you so much for this ;-; I felt really ashamed that I wasn't trying as hard in being disciplined and controlled about what I eat. I've been struggling trying to let go of this idol for months now and I haven't succeeded so far :< Please pray for me that I can find my ultimate satisfaction in Christ ❤

    Many will think it's legalistic when they themselves don't have an eating issue. A person who has battled with food can understand and really empathize with this story. Thank you for sharing your vulnerable story.

    The saints of old practiced mortifying the flesh, not to show themselves "righteous" but rather as an issue of freedom. God loves us so much he doesn't want us in bondage, even bondage to his good gifts. It is the Gospel that ultimately frees us.

    I love Focus on the Family! I also really admire Jim and his incredible work for the Kingdom, but I wish he would have let her talk more. After every few sentences, she would get interrupted by his comments or thoughts. Again, love Focus and Jim! But wish those being interviewed would have a little more air time!

    Agreed. The food addiction is not a laughing matter. Do they make fun of people who can't resist alcohol? And then reduce it to a women's issue? She handled herself well despite the interruptions.

    I am so grateful for the light you are trying to shine in the dark places.... I agree all too many of us brothers and sisters fail to recognize that what is "Mastering" us can be ANYTHING...it can be lawncare.....housecleaning.....speeding (in our cars)...it can even be "good works"..... I appreciate the conversation you recommend while looking in the mirror..... there used to be another book/program in the "christian community" that tried to teach the same thing, I tried to lead a group at our church and was amazed at the resistance from a few other "sisteres"...... Thank you for this video---- you are blessing people.......and shedding light on dark places! Thank You FOTF for all your hard work to help brothers and sisters who struglle with issues in their lives!

    Thanks so much for this nudge in the right direction. I feel gluttony/over eating is a stumbling block and deception that is overlooked in our churches because we do not want to offend. But if the enemy is using any and everything as a weapon against us we must talk about this in our churches and amongst ourselves as followers of Christ in order that we may overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of one another’s testimonies 🙌🏼

    Amen amen amen amen! This needs to be out in the open and talked about! Thank you for this topic! So many Christian women (and men) struggle with food fixation. It can be such a distraction pulling us away from the Lord. I know I felt ashamed by it, keep my food obsession struggle a secret and tried in my own power for years. We need to get it in the light and talk about this. Our freedom is in Jesus and only when I brought him in this struggle, leaning on him day by day. He wants us to bring everything to Him!

    It's definitely a problem within the church, and America in general.. There is too many obese people, not just overweight, obese.... Gluttony is still a sin in 2019, so saints learn to eat to live, not live to eat... It doesn't have to be a struggle, just incorporate more meat (grass fed), into your diet, and you will stay fuller longer, and the cravings will go away... Meat stays in the small intestine, breaking down the nutrients that we need, and at the same time maintains hunger pangs way more hours then eating veggies, etc.... Limit the carbs, and weight will be easy to maintain...
