Feast on the Word

"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)

The Word of God is to your spirit as bread is to your body. When your body feeds on physical food, it produces a physical power called strength. When your spirit feeds on the spiritual food of the Word, it produces spiritual power called faith. 

And just as you can't eat one meal and then feed on the memory of it for several weeks, you can't just remember what the Word says and stay strong in faith. You have to read it. Even if you've read it a hundred times, you need to read it again.

Try this: Close your eyes and see yourself slicing a lemon. Now stick that lemon slice between your teeth and when I say, "Three," bite down on it so hard that the juice squirts into your mouth. One. Two. Three. Bite!

Friend to Friend

Fruit is one of my favorite foods. When I go grocery shopping, it always takes me longer to get through the fruit section than any other area of the store. I spend what some might consider a ridiculously long time picking out what I hope will be the juiciest apples, the plumpest grapes and sweetest bananas. Experience has taught me to quickly discard any piece of fruit that is bruised, mushy or discolored. I shake cantaloupe and thump watermelons. Ripe strawberries have a unique sweet scent and only the reddest cherries will do. Plums and tomatoes must be firm to the touch, bright in color and wrinkle-free while the more wrinkles the better when it comes to choosing passion fruit.

Advantages of Negative Calorie Foods

Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest then the calories food contains. Human body must work much harder to process this calories – it is burning fat instead of storing it! They are also called “fat burning foods” or “negative calorie foods”.

Of course, this is good for your health. However, no food is actually “negative calorie” food, but net effect of eating the right kind of food is decreased amount of fat in your body. This is possible because your body uses more calories to digest the food, then the food has calories. In other words, your body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods. This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage. This is why they are called “negative calorie foods”.
