Freedom Through Surrender

Child, you can gain freedom through surrender.

Lord, I don’t understand.

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.

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!

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice! Philippians 4:4 NKJV

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.

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.

But Lord, what do I do about this extra weight I’m trying to get rid of?

Go back to seeking My advice about what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat. Trust Me as you did before. Trust Me again as your weight loss coach.
