There's a war going on inside each and everyone of us!

Ephesians 6:10-18
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavely realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this , take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."

God has really been speaking to me about my problem with not eating right. Through the bible and this scripture really hit home with me. Everyday, my flesh is at war. I can make the choice either to indulge in all that yummy food and ruin His temple or take care of it and eat all the healthy stuff. I have made some bad choices in this area and I realize that Satan has control over me right now and I'v allowed him to have that control. I need to be so strong in the Lord and ready for Satans attacks on me. He is very sneaky and will trick us in a heartbeat if we don't stand firm in our faith. I know that I can lose this weight but not in my own strength. I need the armor of the Lord put on daily. It needs to be my daily routine, or else Satan will conquor. I know what I need to do, I just need the strength to do it. Please pray for me as I take on this difficult task, to daily take care of my temple and put God first. God Bless you all!!
