Do Not Be Mastered
I refuse to be mastered by anything. Under the authority of Jesus I declare that I have freedom. I will not be a slave either to food or to dieting. I will choose my foods freely, choosing to eat healthily as this will bring me the greatest pleasure in the long run. I will not count calories or monitor levels of nutrition but will learn to let my body and spirit inform me what to eat and when. I will not be a slave to sin, nor to self-righteousness. I will freely choose the grace offered me by Christ and embrace the pure lifestyle that is becoming in a child of light. I will not be a slave of technology nor a slave to a primitive lifestyle. I will own a computer. I will use the wisdom that God offers me to determine how to spend my time, whether engaging in Internet use or exercising my body and mental faculties. I will not be a slave to entertainment nor to the absence of the same. I will discern through the grace of God how to spend my time alone and with others; whether to pursue entertainment or not. I will not be a slave to flippancy in my financial affairs nor to strict bookkeeping. I will spend money at my discretion and in regard to the guidelines set forth in Scripture. When I fail to make wise decisions I will not beat myself up or subject myself to the unbiblical, ungodly feeling of guilt or self-condemnation but will calmly set my heart and mind to make wiser decisions in the future.
