It Just Takes Faith

Lord, I know it just takes faith. So I’m asking You to increase my faith, especially to overcome my compulsive overeating. This is what bothers me the most.

Child of Mine, yes, it will take some denying yourself and some fasting. So start today with denying yourself and some fasting too.

But Lord, I don’t like to fast. I don’t want to fast.

Child of Mine, know that everytime you say, “No” to calories-laden food pleasure, it’s a form of fasting. Everytime you say “No” to temptation, you’ll grow stronger. So begin your walk in your new strength today.

  • Jesus said to him, “If you believe, all things are possible to him who believes. Mark 9:23
  • “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.” Mark 9:24

So, Child of Mine, it will take some fasting and letting go, for your victory. Are you willing?

Lord, I am willing, but I am weak.

A Special Guest Who Brought Six Extra Friends

A special guest came to our family Christmas party and He brought six of His friends with Him too. How did I feel about this extra guest? I was so excited. And I was excited about His six friends too. Was I worried I would have enough food for them all? No, not at all.

Let me explain. Our family Christmas gathering was after Christmas. Due to everyone’s different schedule, it seemed best. Also, it gave me additional time to recover after foot surgery to wait until after Christmas.

You know how so many say their family gatherings are so miserable and conflicting due to different opinions. In the middle of the night before our family gathering, I woke up worried about it..

We, like everyone else, have family members with different opinions. We also have a somewhat conflicted past of many hurts we’ve caused one another. So I woke up worried about it.

God told me to come talk to Him about it. So I got up and went to my prayer spot. There it came to me to read Psalms 24.

Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Psalms 24:7

Then He spoke to my heart, “Child, the family gathering today will be all good, for I am coming to your house. And I’ll work out all things for My glory. Therefore it’s for your good too. I’ll heal hearts today. And I’ll restore relationships too. Because I am bringing Healing and Restoration with Me when I come. I’m also bringing Peace, Joy, Love, and Forgiveness too.”

My special guest came too

Jesus, my special guest, is coming to my family gathering and bringing six guests too! I’m so excited! Can’t wait!

So, at our gathering, everyone had a great time. We laughed together and played games. We exchanged presents with one another. Many hugs and laughter. I’m so glad Jesus, came and brought His six friends with Him too.

My special guest came, but you don't see Him.

You couldn’t see them, but they showed up in everyone’s face. You could hear them in our laughter too. I’m so glad my special guests showed up. And all my family had a good time too.

I suggest you invite Jesus to your next family gathering. Maybe He’ll bring His other friends too.

Surrender Is The Key

Child, surrender is the key to victory and prosperity. As you surrender yourself, your heart, your dreams, and your desires I will bless you.

But Lord, I don’t know what to write.

Child, I’ll give you the words to speak, but first you must surrender all. You must feed yourself of My Holy Spirit. Before you can help others, you must first feed yourself My Word and My Presence.

Yes Sir.

Just as on a plane, the parent should put on their oxygen mask first. Then put the mask on the child next. So feed yourself and take in the breathe of My Holy Spirit. Because of Me, your victory is assured.

So take in the breathe of My Holy Spirit, My Presence first, and before all else. Then you can help others. Feed on My Word and My Presence. Then you will receive power to defeat your enemies, especially your greatest enemy, Satan.

After all, his desire is to keep you defeated and discouraged. So feed on My Word and My Presence, My Holy Spirit, for therein you will find power.

Now My Child, it’s time to clean up your own backyard, your eating habits, your heart, and your attitudes. So quit worrying about the future. Take one day at a time, one day. Make it your goal to seek My will and then follow My will. For what good is it if you ask for advice and then never follow it?

So your focus should be surrender first. Then look to Me for your instructions. Next, follow how I lead you. Surrender is the key to your victory and a successful life of victory.

Surrender. Look to Me and listen for instructions. Follow, trust, and obey how I lead you. After all your job is not a quota. Your job is surrender. That’s your focus, surrender, the first key to unlock your victory.

Yes Sir.

Child, keep your eyes on Me and your heart surrendered to me. Let go of all that is in your hand. Then open your hand to receive what I have for you. It’s beyond your expectation. Keep your eyes on Me.

As you surrender to My will (especially your food), I will make you stronger. As you let go, I will increase your strength. Now let go.

Yes Sir.

Let go of it all and come before Me, completely surrendered and empty of all that clutters your heart, and your mind. Allow Me to fill you with Myself.
Quit wishing for more time and accomplish what I tell you to do, in the time I give you.

Because I’ll give you all the time you need to accomplish all, each and every task I assign you. So seek My will each day. Then watch and see what I will do with your time. I can multiply it.

Your key to success is surrender. So therefore, surrender yourself and all you are, all your dreams, desires, and wishes. Surrender your all to Me. Then watch and see what I do.

And quit trying to figure everything out. Just focus on surrender. As you take each step in complete surrender, I’ll lead you to your own personal victory.

So My Child, quit trying on your own. Give it all to Me.

Yes sir. Lord, take it. Take me. I give myself to thee. Do with me as your wish.

Child, do not fear for I am with you. Surrender is the Key.
