Lord, I need victory over binges. I need Your help. I’m caught in a trap, a trap of my own making. Now it seems I can’t get out. Oh why do I go insane at night, especially when I’m tired?

Child, that’s when Satan knows it’s the best time to harass you, when you are tired. Tonight, when you get tired, just go to bed and rest. 

Habits need changing. And Child of Mine, this stronghold on you is so strong that you need My power to resist the temptation. Child, I can help you. 

But Lord, how? We’ve talked about this many times before. And I’m still trapped, unable to set myself free.

But Child, I can set you free. 

But Lord, how? You’ve suggested many things to me before. Then I get so encouraged and start out in victory. Then later, I fall right back into this trap of defeat.

Child, I will lift you out of this despair, this trap, this self-inflicted bondage. I will lift you out and set you free.

But Lord, how?

Child, just call My name.

Lord, when the thought comes to overeat, I don’t think. My mind is blank. All I focus on is what to eat. What do I want to eat?

Child, only I can fill this void you have. It is I who you need to fill you up. 

Lord, how?

Call on My name, Jesus. 

Lord, could You give me a scripture from Your Word besides those I already know? I have head knowledge, but I just can’t seem to get myself out of this self-inflicted trap. I’ve dug this hole and jumped in for the pleasures within. Now I’m trapped and I can’t get myself out.

Child, I can get you out. 

But Lord, how?

Call on My Name. Ask for your deliverance in My name, the name of Jesus.  

— I will return her vineyards to her and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope. She will give herself to Me there, as she did long ago when she was young, when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt. Hosea 2:15 NLT  

Child, you are now trapped in the Valley of Trouble and defeat. But I am your hope and you will sing of “Victory in Jesus”. And you will gain your victory just as you did many years ago.

Feed on My Word for there is where you will find your strength. You search My word each morning, but then zone out on your social media at night to relax. That’s why your mind goes blank. You have zoned out to relax. 

Now I command you – no more zoning out on social media at night for you must be alert and focused. You want success and victory. Therefore feed on My Word each night and it will renew your mind. 

Why did you think I told Joshua to mediate on it day and night? Weakness results from physical exhaustion.  And I want to build you up in your faith and your power to resist temptation. I want to make you strong.

So, to renew your mind and make you strong, feed on My Word day and night. Take it as medicine for your soul and your mind.

—- Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. Joshua 1:8 NLT

Through My Word, I will increase your self-control, self- discipline, and renew your mind. Then you’ll be feeding your mind wisdom and strength, faith and power. As you feed on My Word to build your spiritual muscles, it will make you strong indeed. You will emerge undefeated and victorious. 

Now here’s your challenge: Feed on My word for 40 days and nights. See how that works for you. 

I want victory over those night-time binges. Don’t you? Night-time binges are the worst. So here’s 10 ways to help overcome those night-time binges that may defeat you.

1. Chew sugar- free gum. You might go broke buying gum, but it helps.  I buy a lot and keep it with me. As a matter of fact, I’m chewing some now, that’s why it’s listed first.

Or you could eat a dill pickle. Very little calories or carbs, but the sour taste kills a desire for something sweet. At least it does me.

2. Also you could drink a cup of hot tea or coffee. It’s warm, it fills you up, and you can hold it in your hands. Henceforth, keeping them out of the cookie jar. Consequently don’t drink too much or you’ll wake up in the middle of the night- just saying.

3. Read your Bible. Then meditate on those beneficial encouraging scriptures. Memorize them. At least it gives you something to think about instead the food in the kitchen. Also you can even read scripture from your cell phone. Check out this link. You Verse Bible

4. Above all, you can pray — God promises to give you wisdom and strength if you ask. It’s not wise to eat a bucket of ice cream. You already know this, but sometimes you need the power of God to resist the night time binges. This I know.

-If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5 — (Gateway Bible Link )

5. Make a phone call. Connect with a friend or a family member. Keep relationships with those you love. In addition, call a co-dieting buddy. Talk about how you can achieve victory over night-time binges. Encourage one another.

6. Pray with your buddy. Use the power of agreement to defeat those night time binges. Consequently this will help both of you achieve victory. But don’t use you phone call to gossip. That’s not nice.

“Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:19–20

6. In the meantime you can try on those “goal” clothes in your closet. Who knows, maybe you’ll get those pants on this time. Then you can celebrate by dancing in joy. If the pants still don’t fit, that’s good motivation to not eat.

7. Watch an intense suspenseful movie. Hubby’s watching one now and I had to stop writing to watch. I can’t eat when I’m memorized, can you? Also, some of the stuff he watches makes me too sick to eat. Ugh! One day, during our meal, he watched this ant eat its supper. Gross!

8. Make your own list of ways to resist night time binges. It helped me not eat tonight as I write this. Maybe it’ll help you as you create your list.

9. Mop your kitchen floor. I’m racking my brain to come up with ten ways to overcome night time binges. I know I can’t eat and mop the floor at the same time. So this way will keep your floors spotless. That’s a good side benefit.

10. Finally, for the best ultimate best of all way. Totally surrender it to Christ. Give it all to Him. Talk to Him about your food. He’ll listen. He loves you and He’s concerned about you. You are worthy to Him. He really cares. Give it to Him. That’s the real key to victory- surrender.

“Jesus loves me. This I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong. They are weak, but He is strong.”

Lord, the USA needs You. We need righteous leaders who will rule us with wisdom, justice, and cause righteousness to prevail throughout this land.

Without righteousness leaders to lead us, we have no hope. For presently our government is full of evil leaders who only care about their own evil agendas and their own pockets.

Lord, deliver us from the evil that now rules our land. Have mercy on us and our USA too. May Your kingdom come to this land and may Your will be done throughout this land. In fact, Lord, without You we have no hope.

Lord, I need You. I need You to guide me and lead me for I have lost my own personal victory. And then I look at what is happening in our nation. It seems as “Victory in Jesus” has lost.

Child of Mine, “Victory is Jesus” has not lost. In fact, Victory in Jesus is here now. Child, I am here for you and I have already provided for you complete deliverance and freedom.

All you have to do is come to Me. Submit your will and your desires to Me. Then I will be able to set you free. It is through your submission that your victory comes forth. I know this is not logical to you, but it is truth. It is only through surrender that you gain freedom. And I will set you free.

Child, praise Me for your victory. Your words of praise will become your victory song.

Lord, what is my victory song?

Victory Song:

“Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong; they are weak but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes Jesus loves Me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me, He who died, heaven’s gate to open wide. He will wash away my sin, let His little child come in.

Jesus loves me, this I know, as he loved so long ago, taking children on His knee, saying, “Let them come to Me.”

More Words of Victory:

Child, that is your victory song, for it is My love for you that gives you victory. Now go forth in your victory, for I have created a victory just for you.

As a matter of fact, I have created a personal victory for each one of My children. So go forth, My child, in your victory today.

Victory Words:

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3: 16,17 

We love Him because He first loved us. 1John 4:19 

 

Child, today is a day of victory and rejoicing. (The following was hand-written in my journal on Resurrection Day.)

Good morning Lord. So how are You today?

Indeed, I am fantastic, great, and glorious! Today, the world, or at least those who know Me will celebrate My victory over death. 

They will sing, they will preach, and they will celebrate My victory. Because it gives them hope for their own victory. And you know what? 

Those who seek Me will find Me and I will give each one their own victory. In fact, I will give you victory too. Indeed today is a day of celebrating. 

Victory over death, over Satan, over sin and defeat is celebrated today, It’s a great day of celebration, both in Heaven and on Earth.

So yes, I am ecstatic with joy as My people celebrate, “Victory in Jesus”. 

And, child of Mine, I’m saving your USA and Israel too. For I will not let USA die. She will be a shining light on the hill and I will give her victory as well.

To you, everything looks hopeless. But child of Mine, the day of resurrection is coming. In fact, it is here now. 

So today, celebrate, both My victory and yours too, for I AM victory. Celebrate with Me. Rejoice with Me. Look up, for your redemption draws nigh. 

Celebrate My victory and yours too. It’s My victory that gives you victory. So celebrate, My child, celebrate. 

Thank you Lord for these words. Lord, forgive me for I have made a lot of stupid choices.

This I know, My child. But if you’re willing to come unto Me and allow Me to lead you, then I will lead you. Above all,seek My wisdom over all your choices, trust My guidance, and follow My will. 

Remember the song, “Trust and Obey. For there is no other way. Trust and obey”? That little song is truth. So trust Me and obey My will guiding you, for then your life will be a life of victory. Now celebrate this day.

Yes Sir. Thank you for talking with me this morning.

In fact I’m glad to talk to all My children all the time. Now read My Word today. For therein, you will find My promises and your encouragement. Therein, you will find words of victory, both Mine and yours too.

Words of Victory

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. . .  For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.  And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the son of God. 1John 5:1, 4-5 NLT

And we know that the son of God has come, and He has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and He is eternal life. 1John 5: 20 NLT

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.          1Corinthians 15:57 NKJV

Child, what is your choice, My love or your own way?

Lord, thank you for loving me. Although I don’t know why You do. I certainly don’t deserve Your love.

Child, no one deserves My love. but I choose to freely give it. You don’t, you can’t earn it. No one can be good enough to deserve it. But I choose to freely give My love. I reach out offering My love to all.

Lord, why do you love mankind, for we all are evil? Why? Why do You care about us at all?

Child, it is because I created each one. I value each life. I am a good God who freely reaches out to all in mercy and love. I am not a performance-based god.

In fact, I am a God  who loves unconditionally. No matter who you are or what you have done, I freely offer My love to you without conditions.

It is not I who rejects those who are evil. Rather, it is those who reject Me. But I still reach out to them offering My love freely to all. I do not choose one over another. I offer My love completely to all who will accept it.

It is those who reject Me that breaks My heart. Because I know what their choice will cost them, eternal damnation. And I do not want that for My children. Just as you want good for your children, I want good for all of Mine. 

Therefore, I offer My love, My freedom, and My peace to all. 

It is those who reject Me, that unknowingly choose torment, and that breaks My heart. Satan lies to them. He tells them that My way cheats them of living a joyful life. 

But Satan’s way will only lead to heartache. The pleasures of sin are short-lived. They are soon replaced by the horrors of entrapment and bondage that sin always brings. 

But the peace and joy of My forgiveness always comes from accepting and inviting My love into your life. So what is your choice?

I keep all My promises written in My book, the Bible. But Satan is the chief liar. His goal is to cheat, kill, steal, and destroy.

My goal is to bring life, joy, peace, forgiveness, and love. You get to choose. So which will it be? 

A life of surrender brings true freedom. In comparison, a life of selfishness brings misery. In the beginning it seems to bring joy in having your own way. But in the end, misery results.

So which will you choose? What is your choice?

Consider This

For this is how God loved the world: he gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him.

There is no judgment against anyone who believes in Him. But anyone who does not believe in Him has already been judged for not believing in
God’s one and only son.  John 3: 16- 18 NLT

So what is your choice?

 

 

Child, focus on My Presence. Fall in love with Me again. You’ve lost your first love experience with Me. Return to My loving Presence. Then watch and see what I’ll do in your life.

Continue reading Focus On My Presence

Child, you can have victory. Because with Me, your Lord on your side, you can do all things. 

Lord, there are so many suffering so much and what I’m dealing with seems insignificant in comparison. Continue reading You Can Have Victory

My child, I am for you. I have always been here for you this whole time. All throughout your life, I have been with you. From your youngest memory, even before that I’ve been here for you.

I created you. Therefore I already know your weaknesses and I know your strengths too. In fact, I know all of your heart and it is good. You’re funny and you mess up a lot, but I know your heart and it is good. After all, I live inside your heart because you invited Me. 

Thank you Lord. You are good too. And I know Your heart is full of love for all, especially for those who struggle, who are in pain, and those who are being persecuted and suffering.

Yes My child, My heart grieves for them. But I do hold them in My arms and gather them into Heaven with me or I lead them to their victory here on earth. 

Mankind can be so cruel and heartless without any compassion for others. All of this is due to the influence of Satan and his evil .

But My power is greater and those who suffer because of Me will be greatly rewarded. I snatch them away into paradise and peace.

But those who are consumed with evil will be consumed by evil themselves and suffer for eternity. 

So the suffering you behold of those who are Mine will only be temporary. But those who are evil will suffer for eternity, throughout eternity.

My Child, don’t worry so much about what you see and hear on your so-called news for I have breaking news for them. I WIN! I AM the Winner! And those who are Mine also win.

They are overcomers for I provide unto them supernatural strength, My strength. 

My Child, you are a winner too. You are an overcomer too. 

Lord, I don’t feel like an overcomer at all. In fact, I feel like a failure most of the time, like a full bloated failure.

Child, this race journey is not over yet. And if I say you are a winner, then it is so. Don’t argue with Me for I am God and you are not. 

But Lord, look at me.

Child, I do look at you. And I love what I see in you, My reflection. 

Lord, I don’t see that at all. I see an overweight, frumpy, wrinkled person.

Child, I see My beautiful child, full of joy and love and compassion for others. Therefore I look at My creation and say, “It is good.”

Lord, help me to see what You see. So I won’t feel so defeated all the time. But I don’t want to be egotistical. I do want to to serve You and bring You honor and glory.

My Child, you do and you are and you will for I have ordained it to be so. Because I love you and you are Mine. I am for you. Never forget that. Never give up for you are Mine.

I Am For You

We love Him because He first loved us. 1John 4:19 NKJV

Do not be afraid or discouraged. for the Lord your God is with you whenever you go. Joshua 1:9 NLT

Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments. Deuteronomy 7:9 NKJV

For this is how God loved the world. He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 NLT

 

My child, choose Me-love Me with all your heart. Let go of your overabundant pleasure food. Trust Me. Commune with Me. Then watch and see how I set you free from all that holds you in entrapped.

Now look at Me, not what you see.

Lord, do I go weigh myself now for a starting point?

No, trust Me, not that box you stand on.

Lord there are so many hurting, so many suffering, even death because they choose You. Yet, here I am full and bloated because I choose pleasure food.

Child, if you will lean unto Me, then I will teach you how to succeed and prosper in your victory. I’ve planned victory for you all along.

It’s when your eyes look along at the pleasures of the wayside that you get sidetracked. So look at Me. Keep your eyes on Me. And I will lead you to your victory. 

Today is a new day with a new victory, learning to walk, talk, and eat in My Presence. So allow Me to lead you in total dependence on Me. Seek My will, My guidance, and My wisdom in all things.

This also includes what you eat, where you go, what you buy or sell. My desire is to lead you to total victory- for I AM victory.

Yes Lord, I do want to bring You honor and glory. But it seems I am weak.

Child, I AM strong. Let the weak say I am strong.

Lord, when the thought comes, “Get something sweet” or “Get more”, I don’t even stop to think long enough to even seek Your help. In fact, I just go for the sweet junk food or I just eat everything blindly without seeking Your advice.

Please forgive my selfishness. Also would You forgive all my failures to obey You in all things, especially what I eat. Because I have loved my pleasure food more than you. So Lord, help me treasure you more than my necessary food.

Yes, I do want to obey You in all things and achieve the goal of victory You have planned for me. Help me do so.

Child, you can. Remember, you can do all things through My strength which I freely give to you. I’ll give you strength to win all your struggles and all your battles.

Choose Me-love Me, and I’ll set you free from this self-inflicted bondage.

Choose Me-Love Me

You shall love the Lord your god with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5 NKJV

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21 NKJV

“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice . . . 1Samuel 15:22 NKJV

. . . Let the weak say, “I am strong.” Joel 3:10 NKJV
