Aug. 12, 2013 - Day 4 of SD (sugar detox) began with coffee on the porch (yes, I can have coffee AND with REAL cream!), quiet time, and a great devo. I highly recommend "Made to Crave" by Lysa Terkeurst. The devotional closed with this prayer, "Dear Lord, this is one of the most significant spiritual journeys of my life. Help me focus on You as I battle this raw, personal issue. I need You today. In Jesus' name. Amen"
You might ask, "How is this a spiritual issue?" As I was praying, I heard the Lord whisper to my heart that this battle is very much one of a spiritual nature. Today, I have had SO much energy and my thinking has been so much clearer. The Truth that I heard from my Heavenly Father was this: If my mind is foggy, my energy is sucked out of me, and my health is potentially in danger, I am of little threat to the enemy. Satan used a seemingly innocent substance, sugar, to keep me in bondage.
I have struggled to escape his grasp for so long, and actually had lost hope, but the Word says in Romans 8:37, "No, in all these things, we are more than conquerers through Him who loved us."
My victory will be God's victory!
