Overeating/Food Addiction: A Spiritual Battle, Not Just Willpower

Writer: Julie KleinhansJulie Kleinhans

Food addiction isn’t just about willpower—it’s a spiritual battle. The enemy uses temptation, shame, and lies to keep us stuck, but God has given us the tools to break free.


  • Recognizing these tactics is the first step.

  • Replacing old habits with prayer, service, or uplifting activities redirects our focus from temptation to victory.

  • Standing on biblical truth equips us to fight back—just as Jesus used Scripture to combat the enemy.


Romans 6:16 reminds us that we have a choice: remain enslaved or walk in obedience and freedom. Through prayer, Scripture, and community, we can overcome. As James 4:7-8 says, when we submit to God and resist the devil, he will flee.


You don’t have to fight alone. We have each other and God for support. Every small step toward freedom is progress!
