It used to be that the word detox was only used by the health nuts. Now as more and more people gain understanding of the poison that is in fast or prepackaged food, meat, and dairy and how it can literally destroy your health, that word is fast gaining popularity.
Basically a detox diet is when you stop eating all the junk and choose living healthy food. Thereby gently purging your body of all manner of poison.
The problem is people think they can detox for a season and then go back to the same old junk food.
Not so.
It does no one any good to cleanse their bodies for a season and then turn around and put the same poison back in.
Can you say heart attack, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and an odd assortment of diseases their is no cure for except to stop taking in the toxins.
Well it's the same in our Christian walk.
Take a typical fast for instance.
We commit a certain amount of time to reject the world and focus on God. We stop eating, stop watching television or movies, we turn off our phones and social media, we dive into the Word and spend more time in prayer and meditation.
In other words we stop taking in the toxins of this world and we feed on Jesus.
So why is it once the fast is over we run back to the world as fast as we can.
As it is in the natural so it is in the spirit.
We think we are so righteous having fasted for this or that many days but...
....does it really do anyone any good to cleanse their spirits for a season and then turn around and put the same poison back in.
Can you say luke warm, disconnected, unfruitful, uninspired, bitter, struggling with all manner of sins, blind, deaf, and utterly without a vision to do the work of the Lord?
A well versed nutritionist would say stop feeding on death and choose life if you would be well.
And if we want a healthy spirit?
Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! Deut 30:19
