“Experience My Love” – God

My child, tell the others how much I love them so they can experience My love too. It is more than “get saved”. It’s to live in and experience My love for them, for I truly love each one.

If only they could comprehend the infinity of My love for them. If only they could understand infinite expanse of My love for them. Then they would gladly come into My Presence.

But alas, some listen to the lies of the enemy who tells them I only want to control them and make their lives miserable. They suppose I am full of impossible rules of submission, performance, and more work. Nay, I say. Lies, lies.

What I do want is to fill their lives with joy unspeakable, love without boundaries, inexpressible love, and peace within their hearts, souls, and mind. This peace is inconceivable to those who reject My love.

My Child, it’s My pleasure to be with My children just as it’s your pleasure to be with your children.

My Lord, how we all need you, your love, the peace you give, and the joy we have in your Presence. Oh, the sweetness of life is your Presence, the joy of being in your Presence. Thank you for your love.

In fact, I am the God of eternal love, not the condemning God that the enemy, the chief liar, accuses Me of being. Yes, I am the God of the unconceivable, beyond your comprehension love, love beyond eternity.

I know it is hard for you to fully understand the fullness of My love. But as you come forth into My Presence you will understand more and more. Indeed, as you seek My Presence, you will experience more and more of My love, joy and peace.

My Lord God Almighty, I do want Your Presence with me. I do want Your love.

Child, I also want you. This is so I can fill your heart, soul, and mind with My love, joy, and peace. Try to understand the fullness of My love.

The enemy, chief of liars, has portrayed Me as the hard judge just waiting to punish you every time you step out of line. Not so, I am the God of eternal beyond comprehension, eternal love, joy, and peace.

What I offer to those who will accept it, is a life of love, joy, peace, and assurance of victory, no matter the circumstances. So come, My child, come receive what I offer you, a new life of love, joy, and peace, a new life of victory.

Come receive. Because I am not a God who takes away joy and demands your sacrifice. No, instead, I am a God who willingly sacrificed Myself for you. I gave all of Myself for you so that you could freely receive true life eternal.

Come, experience My love. Bask in My love, a love you have never had before. Because I offer you true life, more abundantly full of love, joy, and peace. Now come receive what I have in My hand for you. It’s just waiting for you to receive.

Yes Sir, here I am. Fill me, Lord with Yourself. Fill me with more of You. I choose You. Help me to walk in Your will, in all things, in all my ways.

God’s Love for You

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:31-32

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. John3:16

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13

Guilt and Self-Criticism

Child, you take on guilt and self-criticism of many things. Then you beat yourself up over every mistake. So next time you make an error, come to Me with what you think you broke. Bring it to Me. Turn it over to Me. Because I understand you’re human, and I understand your weaknesses.

But know this, I will make you strong. Child, quit beating yourself up. You have many self-inflicted wounds in your spirit, due to your own self-inflicted beatings. Stop it. See and behold, you, My daughter, My child, one I created a creature of beauty.

guilt and self-criticism
You are wonderfully made. (Phot0 by Deborah Crocker)

When you look in the mirror, you see wrinkles and age spots. Even your nose and lips, you criticize. My child, do you know I created that nose and those lips. So, every time you criticize them, you are criticizing My creation, what I made.

So, stop it. See yourself as I see you, My beautiful daughter, My beautiful creation, the daughter I created. You, My child, you.

Yes, there are flaws of selfishness and greed. But as you yield to My love for you, I will erase and remove these flaws one at a time. Also, you will notice guilt and self-criticism are gone as well.

(Photo by Deborah Crocker)

Child, I will make all things beautiful. That was My intent all along and I will have My way for in the end all things will be beautiful. For I will have My victory.

Thank you, Lord, for talking with me.

Child, it is My pleasure to talk with all My children. If only they would listen, stop running around aimlessly or so preoccupied with their own agenda and media. Then they could hear My voice calling on their hearts, souls, and minds.

Because I am calling on each one. I am calling their names. If only they would listen, then they could hear My love words for them. I do indeed love each one and I will set them free from all that holds them in bondage. That is My intent, to set My people free.

You think it is only politics or debt that holds My people in bondage. No, My child, it is much more. Just as you have strongholds of guilt, shame, unforgiveness (especially of yourself), a judgmental attitude (especially of yourself), and assorted addictions, others do also.

And I intend to set all of you free, free indeed. It is My will that all be full of My glory, My Presence, and My Holy Spirit. I died suffering the worst earthly death to set My people free so they could walk, live and breathe in My love for them.

God loves you more than you can know. (Photo by Deborah Crocker)

They think I am a God of rules and punishment. But no, I am a God of eternal love, freedom, and forgiveness. So, if they would come to Me, then I would set them free and cleanse them from all that holds them in bondage.

I would set them free to a new life and re-create them into a new creature, a new man, a new woman, walking, living, and breathing in My love for them and My victory. Now, come to Me, for I will set you free.

Obedience Brings Freedom

My child, I say unto you, “Obedience brings freedom.” You want a diet, a program, or a plan. But My child, it is obedience that brings freedom.

Obedience brings freedom
Freedom, success, and victory is possible with God. (Phot by Deborah Crocker)

When you are on a diet, program, or exercise plan, you obey the structure of that plan. You hope it will bring you desired results. But why not obey My plan for you? Then you will be on My program and My plan for you.

My plan for you is the highest and the best. So why not follow My instructions in obedience and yield your desires to My will for you? In fact, Child, obedience is a key to freedom.

When you follow a structured diet plan, you are obeying its rules. So why not follow My plan for you? My plan will bring you victory and success.

But Lord, I can’t seem to stick to any plan for that matter.

Believe. God has already designed your victory. (Phot by Deborah Crocker)

Oh, why do you doubt, My child of little faith? Know ye not yet, I AM the God of all, over all things? I have all power and all ability to set you free. So come to Me for your deliverance. My truth shall set you free.

But Lord, what is truth?

The truth is I AM the God that healeth thee. I AM the God who gave His life in exchange for yours. I AM the God who loves you more than any other. And I AM the God who reaches out to you in love. In fact, I AM for you, and I want your success and victory.

Child, I have come to save the world, whosoever will believe. You believe I rose from the dead. Now believe I can bring forth your victory. You don’t have to stay in this place of defeat. Because I have already planned for your victory. Now you just need to believe it.

But Lord, when it comes to food, I go braindead. In fact, I become a zombie and mindlessly overeat.

My Child, this is a trap of bondage to compulsive overeating. Because I created food for you as nourishment for your body, not as a stronghold of defeat. Child, I have come to set you free. So walk in My freedom today for I have already planned and delivered your victory.

It is not My will for you to walk in defeat and shame. But it is My will for you to walk in victory. Now, My child, go forth today in your victory.

Freedom Through Surrender

Child, you can gain freedom through surrender.

Lord, I don’t understand.

Success and victory
My Lord will give you victory. (Picture by Deborah Crocker)

Child, I offer unto you freedom from all that entraps you, for I AM the way to freedom. It is through surrender of your will to My will that your freedom is released unto you.

The more you surrender, the more you are set free. This does not sound logical to you, freedom found in surrender. But it is so, for I AM the God of the universe, and all things will be as I declare it to be so.

Now go forth in Your freedom, the one I designed for your life. Go forth in your victory. Never give up, except to surrender your will to Mine. Then you will be filled with My power and strength to go forth as I lead you to victory.

Look for your victory

I have a victory designed for each life. If only they would stop running in their circles long enough to seek My will and then surrender, then they would find their victory. Because I am a God of victory, I have already planned the best for each life.

In fact, I win every time, no matter what you see. Know this, as you look around to behold what you see, I AM the WINNER overall. And I always have the victory for I am the God of victory. So, rejoice, my child for your victory is at hand.

Child, your victory is here now! Already done. So, rejoice!

Never Forget Your Dreams, Never Give Up

No matter what’s going on in your life, I want to encourage you “Never forget your dreams. Never give up”.

For me, a lifetime struggle has been my weight. Most of my life I have weighed over 200+ pounds. But back in 2013, God worked a miracle in my life. I weighted 241 pounds, and He helped me lose around 90 pounds.

Me, in 2013, weighing 241 pounds (Photo by Deborah Crocker)

After a sponsor in Celebrate Recovery told me she couldn’t help me, I cried for three days. She was a recovering drug addict. But she said she didn’t know how to help someone with a food addiction. Because I was beyond the help of an x-drug addict. But God. But God.

In 2014, age 61, after losing 90 pounds. (Photo by Deborah Crocker)

Then I cried out to God and He helped me lose over 90 pounds. No pills, no shots, or no surgery. Just God. Now it’s over 11 years later. Yes, I’ve gained some back, but I’m never giving up. God’s not giving up on me and He is not giving up on you either.

Lost 20 pounds
Now 11 years later, age 72. (Photo by Deborah Crocker)

So, I want to lose another 20 pounds. I want to write books. And I want to help others to win victory over their own weight loss struggles.

So, what about you? What do you want? Also, what are your dreams? What do you want out of life?

During parts of May and June 2025, we went on vacation out west to Yellowstone and other sites. One of the sites we visited was the Crazy Horse Memorial. It’s awesome and huge. They’re still working on it, after 77 years. God is still working on you too. Check out the following link: https://crazyhorsememorial.org/

One thing that impressed me about this memorial was their statement, “Never forget your dreams.” So, what are your dreams? What do you want out of life? Think about this, what do you want to achieve? What do you want to be your legacy? Again, I say to you, “Never forget your dreams. Never give up.”

I bought this little medallion to remind me. “Never forget your dreams.”

Never give up

God placed those dreams inside of you. And you can be confident of this, He’s going to continue working on you until those dreams are finished. He has planned for your victory. Try talking to Him about your dreams. It just might surprise you how He answers your heart.

No matter how many times you messed up. No matter how many times you fell down, God will pick you up, clean you up, and give you a new start. Yes, after talking to Him and telling Him all about your failures, He will cleanse you and give you a new beginning, clean and fresh.

Then as you continue to seek His guidance and follow His leading, He will lead you to the fulfillment of those dreams He placed within you so long ago. Talk to Him today. How about now?

Yesterday’s Success

Child, yesterday’s success was because I helped you. I gave you the strength to make it through without binge eating. Although you almost messed up when you ate those pecans, but I took the desire for more away from you.

So, your yesterday’s success was because of My Presence with you. Know I will heal you of this binge eating. Trust Me. Look to Me for your instruction on how to eat. Listen as I lead you. Then follow and obey My instructions.

Lord, I need your wisdom, just to get through each day and make decisions as I go. I need your wisdom even to relate to those You place in my life. Help me to bring You honor and praise.

Thank you for the weight loss in spite of eating those pecans after supper. I can’t believe I lost another pound. Wow! Thank you for Your help.

Child, if you had stuck to the plan I gave you, it would have been more weight loss. Listen to Me and follow how I lead you. Then you will have more success for I am success. In fact, I am victory.

Yesterday’s success is not enough. I intend for you to be successful in this weight loss journey and your life as well. In fact, all who seek My will, listen, and follow as I lead them will win their victories, especially over “self”. Because I always win.
