Check Your Appetite
Focus Scripture
"The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’"— Matthew 4:3-4 NIV
"You’re going to find that there will be times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food—catchy opinions that tickle their fancy. They’ll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages." — 2 Timothy 4:3-4 MSG

Introduction
We live in a day where the distribution and consumption of words is at an all-time high. Thoughts, ideas, and opinions are shared much easier than any other time in history. Credible or not, people are feeding on these words and their lives are shaped by the words they consume. This surplus of words calls for a desperate need for the ability to discern what’s good food vs junk food.
While fasting, Jesus was presented with the idea to turn stones into bread. His response: “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” It’s God’s words that spoke all of life into existence and it’s His words that will sustain all that is living. The word of God is good food. However, it’s clear that not everyone has a desire for good food. An overwhelming amount of people prefer a word that scratches an itch within their flesh over the word that will feed the hunger of their soul. Apostle Paul warned Timothy that times like this would come, where people would “have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food—catchy opinions that tickle their fancy. They’ll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages” (2 Timothy 4:3-4 MSG). That time is today. While this mindset describes the appetite of the world, believers are being drawn by words that appeal to the lust of their hearts. For this reason, I’m encouraging you to check your appetite.
This week, we will take a strategic approach to inspecting our appetites and the words we consume to ensure we are eating good food and not junk food.

This Week's Devotionals:
Day 1: Test It!
Many of the words, ideas and opinions that are being shared today are attacks at the core fundamentals of society and the Kingdom of God. Apostle Paul knew a thing or two about people who have no desire for sound teaching. There were some in the church at Corinth that challenged Paul’s apostolic authority. They wanted proof that Paul was speaking under the authority of Christ. Paul was confident that his life would demonstrate this authority through the power of God. But he challenged those who challenged him with this strong instruction: “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves” (2 Corinthians 13:5a).
As we examine our spiritual appetite and eating habits, I encourage you to do likewise and examine yourself—test yourself. Many times, we wait for the test to come to us, but Paul is encouraging us to proactively test ourselves. Take a good look at what you’re consuming and determine whether it’s feeding your soul or scratching an itch in your flesh. Do you readily receive sound teaching or do you reject it? Do the words that guide you align with your faith or oppose it? Examine and test yourself so that you can know how you are managing your spiritual appetite because what you eat will shape how you live.

Day 2: Correct It!
When testing your appetite and examining the words (food) you consume, if you identify something unfitting for the lifestyle of the Kingdom of God, appropriate action must be taken. Anything considered improper must be corrected, it cannot be ignored or left unaddressed. If it’s not aligned with the Kingdom, it stands against it.
One of the most exhilarating team activities is playing laser tag. I’ve played to the point of sweating to win against the opposing team. Imagine going into battle with your team and come out to learn that you’ve lost considerably. You develop a new strategy and go in for second battle and then learn that you’ve lost even worse than before. Now you’re frustrated because there’s no way you can be losing that badly. You talk to your team and discover that they’ve been getting picked off by a sniper. Here comes round three! You’ve made it your mission to discover the hiding place of the sniper. After carefully searching through the battlefield, you see one of your teammates and to your surprise, he’s shooting the unsuspecting members of your team. You’ve found the sniper, but the sniper was a part of your own crew. After the fight is over, you confront him and ask why is he sabotaging the team and how did he get there? To your surprise, he says, “You invited me in. You knew I was committed to the other team, but you recruited me anyway.”
This is what it looks like when we receive and recruit words, thoughts and ideas that oppose the Kingdom of God. As we try to live a life of purpose, the words we consume are fighting against us. Every time you try to get ahead, there’s an invisible force fighting against you, exploiting your strategy, and assassinating your opportunities. Words are not merely words. Words are the seeds of thoughts and ideas. When released into our lives, they mature into fruit. This fruit can be good or bad, depending on the quality of the seed—the quality of our words. Perhaps we’ve forgotten the power of words? That death and life are found in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Words can be helpful, they have the power to build and bear beautiful lasting fruit. Words can also be weaponized to fight for you or against you.
Apostle Paul understood this truth and gives explicit instructions for what must be done against any word, thought, or opinion that opposes the kingdom of God:
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 NIV
Don’t allow words to passively pass through your life. No word can be counted as casual, every word has an assignment to give or take life, to build or destroy, to birth or abort. Therefore, every word, thought and opinion must be arrested and corrected—made obedient to Christ!
Are there words that you’ve consumed or confessed that have been fighting against you? Don’t ignore it, correct it! Those words are shaping the way you live.

Day 3: Feed It!
Not only should we correct our words, but we must also correct our appetite for words. Instead of craving and consuming words that bring harm—words that provide no nutritional value to our lives, we must develop an appetite for words that give life. This can be achieved by replacing the junk food with good food.
When changing a natural diet to improve one’s health, it can be challenging because the mind and body must forgo that which is familiar for something that’s likely not. If you’re used to eating foods high in saturated fat and sugar, your mind will crave these things. It’s also possible that your perception of foods that are better may be warped because the foods that are bad were likely scratching an emotional itch. Perhaps you ate certain foods to soothe your depression or anxiety and that has caused your mind to demand those foods. Although those foods may seem good, they are actually causing more harm than good. The same is true regarding a spiritual diet change. If we’ve associated good feelings with bad doctrine, we will have a tough time swallowing sound teaching. A word of correction will taste bitter to the person who has indulged in the sweet, misleading doctrine of Live Your Truth. Holiness tastes bland to the person who’s burned away all discretion by the popular hot sauce called “Do You!” A sermon on self-control tastes boring to the person who lives carelessly on the famous energy drink called “Turn Down for What?!”
Let me be clear: in no way is the word of God bland, bitter or boring. The depth of flavor found in the word of God is inconceivable. You can spend your entire life feasting on God’s word and still be blown away by how your heart and mind discovers new dimensions of flavor in passages you’ve read fifty times. David said “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8). Ezekiel said that the word of God “tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth” (Ezekiel 3:3). God’s word is both exciting and sustaining. Whereas the junk food of the world may trigger a sugar rush and leave you lacking all nutrition.
The truth is, whatever a person has found comfort in will be their natural go to until there’s a change. One of the keys to changing your natural diet is performing a palate reset. It’s the process of introducing new foods to alter your appreciation of flavors. We talked about this in detail in the theme titled RESET. The most important thing to remember is that a palate reset in the life of the believer is repentance. When we repent, when we change how we think by turning our hearts to the Father, we reset our spiritual palate. What we must know is that a single instance of repentance does not change the palate. This only creates change for the moment. A total palate reset requires a lifestyle of repentance, complete commitment to change for the better.
While doing some research on how to reset your natural palate, I learned that one helpful habit is to read the label of the food you purchase. This is a skill my personal health and wellness coach has also recommended and taught me how to do so successfully. Once I started reviewing the label, I was shocked at what I discovered. I began to say things like “I didn’t know that had so much salt!” and “You mean to tell me banana chips are high in saturated fat because it’s cooked in coconut oil?!” While I was shocked, I was now equipped to make better decisions with my eating habits. What if we read the label that came with words, ideas, and opinions? What if we read the label for that TV show or Tik Tok trend? Maybe we’d see that it’s high in lies and saturated in lust. What if we read the label on our thoughts? Maybe then we’d see they’re high in pride, selfishness and impatience. I encourage you to read the label! Don’t just allow anything to flow in or out of your mind or through your mouth. Check the ingredients! Look at where it was sourced from! Only then can you decide whether it belongs in your heart.
The way we eat naturally is by placing food in our mouth, chewing and once swallowed, it lands in our stomach. The way we eat spiritually is by receiving words in our minds, chewing them with our thoughts and once swallowed (commitment), they land in our hearts. Words are food for the mind and possess the power to inspire thoughts or express them. Therefore, we cannot they cannot be consumed casually. In Philippians 4:8, we find a criterion for spiritual food consumption. It says, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” As you proceed to replace the junk food in your life with good food, you should examine all words, ideas, and opinions with the criteria that Paul shares. If it’s not true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy, then it needs to go! Stop chewing! Don’t swallow it, spit it out! If it doesn’t make the cut, it has no business in your life! This may seem harsh and strict and that’s because it is. Managing a spiritual diet requires discipline! You must be ever careful of what you eat because what you eat will shape the way you live.

Day 4: Protect It!
Each day I pick up Elisha from school, she asks me the same question. “Daddy, what did you do today?” Each time I’d reply with something similar to what I did the day before. Her typical response would be “Ok.” Then one day she asked with genuine concern, “Daddy, don’t you get tired of doing the same thing over and over again? That sounds boring.” I laughed, then said “It’s boring but necessary.” If what I consume will shape the way that I live, then I must protect my appetite with discipline.
Discipline is often viewed as boring because it requires a commitment to a set of habits. However, those boring habits are necessary to achieve the goal and experience the lifestyle we desire.
Earlier this year I was able to sample the life that I didn’t even know was possible. A life without stress. I was full of zeal for the things of God. My mind, body and soul were healthy. I was present in the moment—aware and undistracted. My faith was on ten. I operated at a level of efficiency and creativity that I had never experienced before. I knew without question that was the life I desired, the way I wanted to live. The problem I faced is that I didn’t know how to sustain it. The road that brought me to this place was a strenuous bout with COVID-19. You could say that the feverous assault acted as a fire purging out every impurity from my being. Like the Hebrew men that were placed in the fiery furnace, I encountered God in that fire. Instead of being burned by fire, I came out filled with fire. This fire, however had no control—it had no discipline, and this led to a destructive burnout.
While sitting in the debris of my destruction, I was depressed and defeated. Yet, something within me would not allow me to believe that this was it. This is because I had experienced a taste of the abundant life I was destined to live and I knew what life could be. Therefore, I wouldn’t be satisfied until I learned how to reignite that fire and sustain it. To sustain a thing is to protect its existence and effectiveness. Sustainability is only achieved through strict systems and process. In other words, if I desired to sustain/protect my fire—my appetite for the things of God, I had to learn to discipline my life in a way that would empower me to do so. I began to make changes one by one. A key component of my disciplined lifestyle includes consuming, confessing and meditating on words of life. Part of my burnout was because I was not feeding on words that empowered me. Other disciplines included refusing to worry, trusting God, praying daily, eating healthy, and exercising regularly. I’ve learned to incorporate these things into my everyday life and often it looks “boring” as Elisha would say. But it’s effective. I’ve begun to see evidence of the life I was destined to live because I’ve learned to protect my appetite.
Perhaps your story isn’t as extreme as mine, but I believe that there’s a version of you waiting to be unleashed. The version that will accomplish all that God has destined you to do. The version that’s full of fire that will be harnessed by discipline for the highest level of effectiveness. I believe you know it and you long for it. Live a life of discipline and protect your appetite.

Day 5: Reflect It!
To be clear, I’m not a licensed dietitian or personal trainer but what I’m preparing to share is information that’s commonly believed by professionals in the health and wellness community. While on my personal wellness journey, a common statement that’s been shared by both professionals and friends, is when it comes to physical health, it’s eighty percent diet and twenty percent exercise. Upon further research, I learned that many health experts also believe this to be true. In other words, the road to good health relies significantly more on the quality of diet than the quality and quantity of exercise. This means a rigorous workout with a poor diet is simply counterproductive. While both are important, the greatest impact on our health is found in what we eat.
Perhaps, you’ve tried intense workouts that resulted in great discouragement when your efforts fail to translate into the achievement of your wellness goals. I know how this feels. When it comes to losing weight or changing my diet, I’ve quit more times than I’d like to admit. However, I know today that a significant part of my problem was that I invested a great amount of effort into the area with the least amount of impact. I tried to change the outside without improving the inside.
In John’s third letter, we discover a heartfelt prayer that he lifts on the behalf of the reader. He says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” (3 John 2). While these are words full of love and care, they also reveal to us the sequence of prosperity allowing us to trace the flow of wellness. To prosper means to become strong and flourishing. John specifically prays that the prosperity of one’s life and health would match the level prosperity of their soul. Therefore, the soul is the starting place and facilitator of prosperity in one’s life. I believe that any limit imposed on a person’s life can be traced back to a limitation found in their soul. When the soul prospers, the life prospers. When the soul is free, the life is free. God has no desires that you live a life of limitation, but a life of eternal abundance (John 10:10).
Much like the experience I shared about my physical health, I spent many years trying to practice (exercise) holiness and righteousness externally, not realizing that both begin from within—it begins with the soul. Righteous living is a requirement in God’s kingdom that each of us must conform to. It’s important to know that conformation is only possible through the transformation of the heart and the renewing of the mind (Romans 12:2). The Greek word used for soul is psyche, which can be defined as the mind. This means whatever we feed our minds will shape the way we live. The condition of your soul will reflect in every area of your life. My encouragement to you is to feed your soul/mind with words that give life. Check your appetite. Test it. Correct it. Feed it. Protect it. Reflect it.
