Sr. Pastor Steve and I have put some restrictions on food for our children, Callia, Evelyn, and David. We also put a partial limitation of food on Beloved Tylon.
They are not allowed to eat all types of sweets, sweetened drinks (juice is fine, but one that has no added sugar), all types of whites, junk food, and fast food (we will allow it on a special event).
We must be careful about sugary/sweetened food or beverages because many products will say “0 sugar” but replace it with fake sugar. These counterfeit sweeteners have many different names. If you can taste sweets, there are other types, even if labeled “0 sugar. These fake sugars will mess you up later on IF you continue to consume them.
Our whole household will continue these restrictions in 2025. Sweet and junk food mess up people’s minds, making their thinking foggy. They can become depressed, sad, tired, and lazy.
This is for our household, so know that I am not trying to make anybody restrict their diets. You should know what hindrances are to your mind, spirit, and body. It’s not only about food but many more things in our lives.
Also, our household will do liquid fast on January 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, 2025. This is to show our determination and the choices we made for Him. We will only drink water, unsweetened coffee, tea and milk.
Let us show God that we mean what we confess daily! I pray that all our church family members will be more determined and diligent in 2025! Let us not stagnate but move forward!
“Do not slack in your faithfulness and hard work. Let your spirit be on fire, bubbling up and boiling over, as you serve the Lord.” (Romans 12:11)
