Nowadays one of the most frequent health problems that modern societies are facing is undoubtedly obesity, a problem that can degenerate into diabetes and can eventually lead to death.
This disease has a metabolic origin, that is, it is generated by bad eating habits.
We are eating totally adulterated, unnatural and impure foods:
Examples:
Milk and meat is not what it was before because we are ingesting hormones for the growth that is given to livestock, to chickens. Some fruits and vegetables are transgenic. (GMO)
The conclusion is that if we eat contaminated food we can get sick and in the worst case we die.
Nowadays, there are so many obese people that by exaggerating a little we can hardly distinguish between fatness or pregnancy ..
A woman who had very irregular periods came to the doctor complaining of sudden weight gain, who after listening to the woman, the doctor says, I have good news, lady, she replies, then I have bad news.
Beware! We can also be confused, without knowing whether or not we are in sin.
1 Samuel 2:29 - Why have you trod down my sacrifices and my offerings, which I commanded to offer in the tabernacle; and have you honored your children more than me, making you fat with the chief of all the offerings of my people Israel?
That we did not pass the time to Eli, who inadvertently fell into the routine of a rancid, old priesthood, dedicated only to fattening and perhaps did not even notice.
2 Samuel 4:18 - And it came to pass that when he made mention of the ark of God, Eli fell backward from the chair by the door, and he was undone and died; because he was old and heavy man. And he had judged Israel forty years.
Sin makes us fat and heavy:
Hebrews 12: 1 - Therefore we also, having around us so great a cloud of witnesses (1), let us shed all weight and the sin that beset us (2), let us run with patience the career that is proposed to us (3).
- Let's take care of our testimony. They say that money and pregnancy are things that can not be hidden, I would add that sin either, sooner or later it will come out.
Luke 8:17 - Because there is nothing hidden, that is not to be manifested; nor anything hidden, that is not to be understood, and to come to light.
When talking about siege, we are talking virtually a state of war, where there is an enemy that has a fortress, castle or garrison.
Sin causes spiritual obesity that prevents us from moving.
If we are spiritually obese we will not be able to keep running, and if patience is required we are not talking about a race of speed but of resistance. If you want to reach the finish line in a marathon race with a lump of cement on your back, you will hardly achieve it.
2nd Timothy 4: 7 - I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
So let us be very careful with spiritual obesity because if we get used to it we run the risk of not knowing if we are actually pregnant by sin.
