Today one in 200 American women suffers from anorexia. Simply put anorexia  is someone who starves themselves.

In the same way the body of Christ is filled with millions of spiritually anorexic Christians.

There are many ways this happens.

1. By not reading and studying the Word of God daily.

2. By not spending time in Prayer (communion with God) daily.

3. By not fellow-shipping with our brothers and sisters regularly.

Unlike the eating disorder that is so obvious in the bodies of people today – Spiritual Anorexia is not something you can clearly see by looking in the mirror. However it is reflected in the words and actions of those who have it.

So many times we get caught up in work, ministry, school, and decide to condense or forgo the things of God.

Then one day we wake up and realize we are weary of life and wonder why God left us or where He is. When in reality the reason we are weary is because we haven’t gone to the Word for our nourishment, haven’t spent time with Jesus who said His yoke was light, have not met with brothers and sisters would encourage and edify us.  We truly are a foolish bunch : D

This is a truly dangerous thing, it effects not only our own walk but also the body as a whole. When we don’t live all the things listed above we are

-easily deceived (there is a world of false teachers out there and a roaring lion ready to kill)

-easily discouraged and beaten down by life

-handicap in the minstry God has called us too

etc etc etc……

So I encourage you to spend time in the Word of God – IT IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE. It is like sitting down in front of God and listening to Him to speak to you!!!

Spend time in prayer both communing with God and interceding – YOU GET TO TALK TO THE CREATOR AND KING!!  As well as being used by Him to change people and situations around you.

Spend time with believers – They have so much to teach you and vice-versa, they are so encouraging – and you might as well because you’ll be with them forever

May we not be Christians made up of only skin and bones – may we truly live life to the fullest in Christ, and for Christ.

Jermiah 15:16  When your words came, I ate them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,
for I bear your name,
LORD God Almighty.

Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”  But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”  Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?” “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.”-
