Yes, I Am the most real you’ll ever know. I am more real than all you can see. I am indeed the realist Presence you’ll ever know.
Are You for real, Lord? (Photo by Deborah Crocker)
Are You my imagination or maybe, are you’re just my inner voice? Are You for real?
Child, I AM the realist of all. I am the beginning of all and the end of all. And I am the before and the after too. I am all around you and in you too. Overall I am everything and all encompassing. In fact I am the answer to all your questions.
Lord, there is so much I don’t understand.
Trust me child. Walk with Me. Talk with Me, for I will lead you as you lean on Me. And I will teach you as you listen. I only ask that you love Me for I love you more than you can ever know.
But Lord, what about all those promises You gave me? They haven’t come through. As a matter of fact, as I look back, some of them are far-fetched.
Child, life is a series of ups and downs. Mostly much ado about nothing. People tend to make little things big and unsurmountable. But I can do all things, even what you consider impossible. For I am a God of the impossible. I take the impossible and create wonders of amazement.
God created this. (Photo by Deborah Crocker)
Look at My creations. It has not even entered into man’s heart all the wonders of My creation. So open your eyes to behold what I have done.
As your body ages, it is in the process of dying. But those, as you say, who have died are now more alive than you.
What about those still struggling with their life issues and wrong choices? I’ve prayed so much for them to find you. But so far nothing. Therefore, they’re still struggling and lost.
Oh My child, again you are wrong. I know exactly where each one is. And I know their hearts. Yes it’s true their wrong choices brought much heartache, both to them and the others in their lives. Just as your wrong choices bring you heartache and struggle.
But I know exactly where each one is. They are not totally lost. They need to find Me, for they do not know where I am. Therefore they feel lost.
But the “Great I Am” is calling their name. I’m calling them to come to Me. And as they come, they will be found. As they open their hearts to Me, I will draw them into My love.
Child, I love each one, even those you consider unlovable. And when they find Me, they will find My love for them. As they come I will fill their hearts with love, peace, joy, and yes, even My wisdom so they can make better choices next time.
Child, do you believe Romans 8:28?

Hope brings faith. (Photo by Deborah Crocker)

Many are hopeful that a new leader will improvement to our economy. Some are expecting our nation to become great again. Some are expecting our culture to return to family values, with Biblical moral standards.
So Lord, what do You say?
Child, I say 2025 is a year of hopeand a year of turnaround. Many are looking to a man-leader. But I am the leader they need.
I AM the source of all and I am returning to take My place in the leadership of this world.. I am returning to My people, to all those who are crying out to Me. Therefore I am coming and I’m bringing with Me, healing, restoration, joy, peace, love, and forgiveness. In addition, I will be the supplier for all that is needed.
Well Lord, where have You been? Why haven’t You done all this before now? The people had lost hope until this new leader emerged.
Child, when I am told to get out, I leave. I do not impose Myself on those who don’t want Me. I allow them to rule themselves in their own defiance.
But 2025 is a year of hope for many have cried out for Me to return. And I AM indeed coming forth. In fact, I am here now.
Not only am I placing hope in your heart today as you look toward the future. But I am placing hope in hearts of many. They also are looking forward to My Presence covering this small earth.
Many have cried out for My Presence to return to the exact places where I was told to leave. They are calling for Me to return. Henceforth, this is a year of hope, for they are expecting Me.
In fact, I AM here now. My Presence will be known by many who have not known Me before. People will rejoice again. Chains of bondage are being broken and destroyed, everywhere, all throughout this earth.
For My people have called forth for Me to be their King, no matter the person in leadership. And I am indeed their King and I will rule this land. I win, afterall.
2025 is truly a year of hope and change, change for the better. This is because I have been invited to return by many of My people crying out for My return to this land. Therefore, I AM here now. I have come.
Day by day, you will behold the changes I bring forth for the benefit of many. I am destroying the chains of bondage. People will become free again.
When I am allowed to rule, placed in the highest leadership position, the people rejoice. Because I bring forth freedom and truth. Remember, the truth will set you free.
After all, I open eyes to the truth. At first, it will be hard to see. But just as someone who has been in the dark for a long time has to adjust their eyes to the light. It will be the same to those who have been in darkness at this time. Once the blinders are removed, many will rejoice in the light of My love for them.
However, it may seem rough in the beginning because this is truly a battle between good and evil. But I will break through and rule this land. Because I am the winner and I always win.
Evil has ruled this earth long enough. I AM taking over now for My people have cried out for deliverance. And I have heard their cries.
You will behold My truth coming forth. You will behold My glory covering this land. In fact, you will see My victory. Look for your victory today.

Presently I am on Day 11/40 Days of Victory. God has been so wonderful to me. Only once, during these Christmas celebration days, was I tempted to break my semi-fast. But Praise God, I prayed, and He delivered.
For the time being, I’m stuck in a recliner most of the time and using a walker to get around very slowly due to foot surgery. Therefore, I declared I was going back on God’s original food program for me. This is the same way of eating that He gave me in 2013 when I lost 90 pounds.
Me, in 2013, weighing 241 pounds
Me-After losing 91 pounds on the God Plan – age 61- Victory in JesusMe, at age 72. Yep, I gained a little weight back.
Yep, I’ve gained some weight throughout the past years. But Praise God, after crying out to God again, He reminded me of the original way He instructed to eat back in 2013. So y’all, it’s back to the basics.
Now, especially since I stuck in this recliner recuperating from foot surgery, it’s even more important to maintain reasonable eating habits. Because we all know if you sit in a chair constantly, (now going on three weeks), you WILL gain weight.
So, for the most part, I’ve been sedentary, except for trips to the restroom using my walker. Due to my curiosity, I somehow managed to stand on my bathroom scales. I held on to my walker and removed my house shoe on my good foot. Then I put my foot with a cast on the scales and stood up.
Now big surprise. The scales showed I have indeed lost weight since the day of my surgery and that’s weighing with a cast and pj’s too. Wow! It pays to eat in obedience to how God instructed you. He’ll give you victory every time you follow His will.

Day 1: Thank you, Lord, for telling me, “It is a gift, not dessert, accept it in love”. I’m starting over again, eating how You instructed me to.
“Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. Matthew 6:10
Day 2: Thank you, Lord, for removing the guilt from me. Instead, You granted me peace.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1
Day 3: Thank you, Lord, for restaurants that let you order take out meals. I ate half of it for lunch and the rest for dinner, along with a small satsuma.
. . . He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives the Lord thanks. Romans 14:6
Day 4: Thank you, Lord, for helping me eat what is sufficient for me. I may be stuck in a chair due to surgery, but You are helping me.
Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. . .. And we know all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:26, 28
Day 5: Thank you, Lord, for helping me resist temptation to eat pecan pie. Yep, Hubby brought one home. I told him, “I’m not eating any.” He said, “Good, more for me.”
And He put all things under His feet, . . . Ephesians 1: 22
Day 6: Thank you, Lord, for helping me choose to eat what is beneficial to me.
Therefore, do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17
Day 7: Thank you, Lord, for granddaughters cooking for us. Especially since I can’t cook on one foot.
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17
Day 8: Thank you, Lord, for the gift of taco salad.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
40 Days of Victory, (a semi-fast) was the plan God and I talked about. Due to foot surgery, I’m confined to my chair for the most part. So due to inactivity, I didn’t want to gain any more weight, especially now.
In fact, I want to lose weight and focus on getting closer to God.
After the wonderful victory God gave me several years ago of losing 90 pounds, I’m ashamed to say for the past several years I have gained some back. So now it’s back to the beginning again.
Because I know God is my source for victory, I went back to Him again for weight loss counseling. After all, He is the best counselor ever.
His Instructions:
Go back to the way I instructed you to eat in the beginning. Eat only three meals a day with half portions and no snacks at all.
There was a time when you wouldn’t have overate even one bite beyond My instructions. Get back to that. Eat how you know I told you to. Make the wise choices you know.
At your favorite places to eat out, choose vegetables and broiled meats instead of all that fried stuff. At supper cut down your serving size and lay off your sweets for a while.
This is a fasting time for you. 40 days of victory with no sweets.
Lord, I can’t do this.
Yes Child, you can do this. With My help you can defeat this enemy of yours, compulsive overeating. You can defeat this enemy that robs you of your joy, your strength, and your victory.
Child, do you want My power or your sweets? If you follow, then I will lead. But you must be willing to submit, obey, and follow. Do you accept this challenge?
Yes Sir. But Lord, I need Your help. I can’t do this on my own.
But Child, know I am here with you. I will help you.
Now for your homework assignment- Find, search out 40 scriptures, affirmations to feed your spirit, your mind, and your soul, one for each day.
So I began with Day 1, two days before my birthday. No problem. At least that’s what I thought. Made it two days, then my sweet husband came in with a small birthday cake and ice cream. Sigh.
For future reference, any time you decide to go on a fast or sem-fast, be sure to inform your family. He was so proud to give me that cake. He was smiling as he handed it to me.
I thought, “Oh Lord. what do I do now? He bought me that cake. Do I eat it or just tell him I started a semi fast of only 3 meals, no snacks, or desserts for 40 days? Do I hurt his feelings? He’s so happy to give me that cake and ice cream. What do I do?
Hubby was smiling so big about it. I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. So I ate it. Yep, I ate it. but I only ate one ice cream. What would you do?
Later I’m lying awake in the middle of the night talking to God about it. I felt so guilty. But I just couldn’t hurt Hubby’s feelings.
Here’s how this conversation went:
So Lord, it’s me and You. The house is all quiet. What do You say?
Child, I love you.
Lord, You knew all about this cake before I wrote about “40 Days of Victory”. Hubby was smiling so big at his surprise gift.
Yes Lord, I praise You for this man you gave me. When Hubby gave me that cake, he was expressing his love for me.
Child, it was not just a dessert. Instead, it was a gift of love. Rejoice in his love.
So do I start over again? What about the upcoming Christmas family gathering? Should I just wait until after Christmas to begin?
Lord, I decided I will start over because I do want total victory. And I want a closer relationship with You too. As a matter of fact, I know the sweets I could have now are nothing compared to the sweetness I have in Your Presence. So I will start over.
My deepest desire is to have more of Your Presence in my life. Also, I want all my children and grandchildren to have a real relationship with You. That’s the most important thing I’m praying for now.
In fact, that’s the most important decision one can make in life- to choose a relationship with You, Lord Jesus, Almighty God, and Holy Spirit.
Child, I’m going to work this all out for your good. Then, you will emerge from this journey victorious over food addiction, and overflowing with My Holy Spirit.
In fact, the fragrance of My Holy Spirit over you will be so sweet it’ll attract others to you. Then you will be able to share My love with them. See how that works.
I bless you so you can bless others. It’s all part of My plan.

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.
