      Foreword

      The term appetite almost instantly conjures up the thought of food and eating. The terms food and eating are inseparable. Equally these two terms cannot be divorced from the provision and development of specific types of bodies. Food and eating are not only responsible for the formation (creation) of the bodies of living all organisms, but it also has an influence on the sustenance, functioning and appearance of these bodies.

      Our mothers ate all of us from the dust of the ground. That is where the elements making up the food comes from. That is the reason why we go back to the dust when we die.

      Something I need to clarify right from the start of this book, is the use of the word ‘body’ – singular or plural. The relationship between eating and bodies refer to the following:

      Eating – in each of its uses – is responsible for any physical or material manifestation of all types of bodies. With manifestation I specifically refer to the formation and/or changing of the body or bodies.

      Eating is also responsible for sustaining all bodies. A natural body is sustained by natural eating, a spiritual body is sustained by spiritual eating, etc.

      Eating is responsible for the bodily functions of the different kinds of bodies. Your natural body, for example, needs food to perform the functions I mention a little later on. Needless to say that the same applies to your spiritual body.

      Eating alters the different types of bodies, e.g. when you have the wrong spiritual diet, it will reflect in your body. Eating from the hip-hop spirit world, manifested by the hip-hop stars in the way they dress, for example, and it will change your wardrobe. You will ultimately wear what they wear, etc. I expound on this thought later in the book. Needless to say that a wrong natural diet produces overweight bodies, sickly bodies, etc.

      Anything that does not feed, is not alive: it is dead. All living organisms have the potential to carry out the life processes of nutrition, movement, growth, reproduction, respiration, sensitivity and excretion. Feeding (nutrition) and growth are the two functions given special attention in this book. The Church, spiritually speaking, is also a living, breathing organism.

      Nutrition is the process of nourishing or being nourished; specifically: the sum of the processes by which an animal or plant takes in and utilizes food substances.

      Appetite is inseparable from nutrition, in the same way as food and appetite are inseparable. It is because of appetite that an organism feeds or eats.

      It is imperative for you to know that the following terms are used interchangeably for appetite:

      love for,

      lust,

      desire,

      long for, and

      crave (craving)

      All living organisms perform some or all of the following functions as a means of survival. Again, remember the church is also a living organism and thus also have these functions.

      These functions are:

      Nutrition (feeding or eating)

      Growth

      Movement

      Reproduction

      Sensitivity (irritability) and

      Excretion.

      Although these functions are all natural, bodily functions they all have definite spiritual outcomes in our day to day lives. It is the spiritual outcome of these functions, and the terms mentioned below, that will be the focal point of this book. These functions are briefly explained under Definition of terms. Understanding the natural explanation and use of these terms/concepts, will facilitate your understanding of the spiritual application of each. There is always a spiritual type for everything which is natural.

      The following terms are used to communicate the thought through the book: appetite, food, eat, desire, love for, lust, body, glutton, gluttonous, and winebibber. Each one of these terms serves as a tool to communicate my thoughts to the reader. Only when these terms are clearly understood, will communication be successful. I therefore urge you not to miss the special reference given to each of these terms. The real thought lies between the lines. To be able to read between the lines, you need to study these terms which will serve as a crutch in our channel of communication.

      Remember, the natural types the spiritual, and that is regardless so. Each of these natural processes or functions will therefore be approached from a biblical or spiritual perspective. The Church is the Body of Jesus Christ and is therefore a spiritual living, breathing organism and as such should reflect all the mentioned functions, but in a spiritual way. I might not always and in every instance refer back to these terms and functions, but as you read you should pick them up in the way I set my thoughts. My reason for doing it in this manner, is to avoid being the Biology and Science teacher, I was for about forty one years. My ultimate aim is the spiritual application of each of them.

      A word is a thought expressed and when words are ordered in a specific way, a specific idea, thought or belief is conveyed. Thus, is this book my channel of communication by inspiration of the Holy Ghost.

      To communicate a specific subject or thought, certain specific words or terms are used. Knowing and understanding the meaning of these terms, words or aspects will ensure that communication is successful. The test for successful communication, will be when the reader will understand, internalize and grasp exactly what the author had in mind.

      Regardless how you look at it, there is always a spiritual application to the natural of what we perceive. In biblical terms, we read and speak of types and shadows which are just another way of saying natural and spiritual. Natural appetites and eating, and spiritual appetites and eating are entangled.

      Study the following Scriptures in reference to the above-mentioned.

      Colossians 2:16-17

      16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

      17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

      1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

      Eating, drinking, holydays, new moons and Sabbath days are the natural or shadow of things to come. The shadow is not the real object, but light must strike the real object and then a shadow is cast.

      An ensample (obsolete) is an example, a pattern or model for imitation according to Tyndale. A pattern or model is not the real thing, but the real thing is based upon the pattern or model.

      The Bible teaches us that, James 1:14 every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

      Christians with wrong spiritual diets experience temptations and enticements in their lives. They struggle to live victorious Christian lives because of wrong diets. If you don’t have a natural properly balanced diet, you are bound to get sick. The wrong diet, either naturally or spiritually, results in diseases.

      This book will help you not to be "led into temptation, and be delivered from evil" by feeding on the proper daily bread and to escape the lust of the flesh, the lust of the
