Talking To My Weight Loss Counselor – God

Lord, deliver me from myself and my stupid ways. Sometimes I’m my own worst enemy.

I will teach you, Child, how to be a successful overcomer, and how to achieve your personal victory. But first, focus on your submission, for submission is your key to victory and success. 

Lord, help me to turn completely to You in all my ways, with a yielded heart before You. Fill me with an increased desire for more of You, the sweetness and the glory of Your Presence.

Lord, I want to be able to stand, or rather kneel, before you with a clean heart and a yielded submissive spirit before You. Renew my mind so that it seeks Your will in all my ways, actions, and words, even to what I eat.

In fact, deliver me from myself, full and bloated with my selfishness.

Lord, I ask for a new heart and a new spirit. I can accomplish nothing in my own power. Therefore I ask for more of Your Holy Spirit and Your power to resist temptations that come before me.

Lord, forgive me for I am a sinner. Help me to turn away from my wicked, selfish sins. Then help me to turn to You with a yielded heart and spirit.

Renew my mind and fill me with a desire for more of You and Your Word.

Child, My Word is how your mind gets renewed. It is My Word that destroys the power of the enemy, even your enemies of selfishness and pride, especially pride in your self-sufficiently.

You can never win over self. But I can help you win.

Come to Me and I will help you cross the finish line to your victory. I am the winner and I always win. Because I am Victory.

So come to Me, into My Presence with a yielded heart. And I will grant you a new heart, a clean heart, and a renewed mind.

Do you not think I can cleanse your mind from all the lies of the mind blinding spirit? The  truth, My truth, My Word will set you free, not the words of others, but My Word. So Seek My Word for your truth.

Yes Sir. Help me to do so.

Child, come to Me and into My Presence. Then I will give unto you all the strength and power you need to become an overcomer who walks and breathes in total victory. For I AM  total victory.

Thank you Sir. Here I am before You. Deliver me from myself. Cleanse me, make me into what You desire for me to be.

Child, I’ll give you victory if only you’ll listen and obey as I lead you.

Lord, help me.

Indeed I am helping you. But you must be willing to let go. Satan doesn’t want you to win your victory. He doesn’t want any of Mine to have victory. In fact, he wants all of Mine defeated in their weakness.

But I win. As you yield yourself to Me, I win and you win too. 

Lord, I turn stupid at night.

Child, I will give you victory. If you’ll talk to Me before eating, then I will fill you with strength and wisdom. Because I intend for you to have victory and for you to be one of My “trophy children”.

So come to Me, first and foremost, before eating more than your body needs. 

Lord, help me.

Child, if you’d come to Me, then you would be given new strength  and new wisdom. Quit trying to do this in your own power. For I’ll give you victory.

The overwhelming compulsion to overeat would leave. Satan never wins over My Presence. Because I always win. I AM victory. So come to Me for Your victory.

Lord, help me manage my time correctly.

Child, you had time for Me last night.

Yes Sir. I know.

Child, if you would come to Me, I would lead you. For I am in charge of time. 

Lord, help me.

Child, I am and I will. Just come to Me for all you need for I AM all you need. After all,  I AM your provider. 

Yes Sir.

Child, don’t think of yourself as a failure, for you are My “Victory trophy”. You are. Believe it.

Yes Sir.

Child, come to Me before compulsive eating. Just 15 minutes, invest 15 minutes in yourself. Place yourself in My Presence. For it is My Presence that gives you victory, My Presence. Think about that. 

My Presence is stronger than your compulsions. It’s My Presence that guarantees your victory, 

“Victory is Mine”, saith the Lord, for I AM the winner. With Me on your side, you can’t lose in defeat for I always win over all. Yes, all. 

Even when it looks as though all is lost, I AM victory. I AM. How many times do I have to tell you? “Don’t look at what you see. Instead look at Me.” 

So don’t even look at yourself for you don’t see what I see in you. I see you as My “Victory trophy”. Come into My Presence so you can see what I see in you, My Child. Indeed you are one of My victory trophies. 

As each of My children come into My Presence in complete surrender, I re-create them into a Victory trophy. So Child, come to Me for your victory.  I am holding your victory in My hand. 

After all, I AM victory. Therefore all of Mine are victory too. So come to Me for your victory. I’ll give you victory. 

Today Lord, I give you My heart. Forgive my many failures. Lead me this day to Your will in all things. Above all else, I want to make You proud of me. Furthermore I want all the victories You have for me.

For the Lord delights in His people; He crowns the humble with victory.          Psalms 149:4 NLT

Despite all these things overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Romans 8: 37 

For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve victory through our faith. 1John 5:4 

Lord, is this way of eating to be a lifestyle change? Will I have to eat this way for all my life?

So I can never eat all I want. Will I always have to consider what’s before me and choose wisely? In fact, am I to seek Your wisdom and guidance over everything I put in my mouth, in my mind, and in my spirit too?

So whatever I eat, watch, read, or listen to, I am to consider my choices and then seek Your wisdom over it all. Overall, I am to live a completely yielded life in complete surrender of all my selfishness to Your guidance and wisdom.

Child, I am teaching you all throughout this process of your life. I will lead you as you seek My guidance. And yes, you will be making a lifestyle change. From now on, you are to seek My will in all things, with every thought, word, or action.

Lord, I need You to guide me for every little detail of my life and all my choices.

Child, I want you to focus on Me and the needs of those around you. Listen to them as they speak. You will learn much. Also I want you to learn from Me. I desire to teach you to listen to Me and follow My guidance without doubt or hesitation. 

I want you to be a “follower” of Me, not of others, but Me. So yes, you could say this will be a lifestyle change for you. 

Do this for yourself and for those I place in your life. I have a purpose for you and it’s not to be constantly seeking the voice of others. It is to be seeking My voice and following My will.

Listen to Me. Follow My guidance and obey My will without doubt or hesitation. This is the lifestyle change I desire for you. 

So learn to listen as I speak and learn to follow as I lead. The key to your victory is surrendering your will to My will. 

Okay Lord, teach me how.

Child, I’m in the process of teaching you now.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29: 11 NLT

Lord, we need victory in 2023. We, the people of USA,  are weary of this constant bad news everyday concerning the bad decisions by our government. It seems, or rather, it looks like their purpose is to destroy the USA.

Now they’re telling us that we need to stop cooking with gas stoves. What? They’re saying electric stoves are safer for our health and the environment.. What?

We the people suffer because of their decisions. And we feel like sheep without a shepherd. Therefore we are a discouraged, overwhelmed, concerned people.

Lord, we need to know Your Presence is with us.

Lord, grant us a leader that will lead us according to Your will. As a matter of fact, we need many leaders like King David who had a heart for You.

So Lord, grant us many leaders, many “David’s” throughout our land to lead us, the people back to You. Place a “David-like” leader in every position of our government.

Overall Lord, what we really need is more of You. We need Your Presence desperately. Would You reach down in Your power to help save this USA? Only You could bring us victory in 2023, only You.

Child, I have great plans you know nothing of. So trust Me, for I will work out all things for good, the good of My people, the good of My USA, and Israel too.  Watch and see what I will do and I am doing now.

You will see a turn of great winds. And I can turn nations and leaders around as well. Nothing is greater than I and no one has more power than I. Child, I can change things in one day. Yes, one day.

Praise Me for the victory. Because victory is what I’ve planned, not the “woe is me” I hear now from the people. “Victory is Mine”, saith the Lord. As a matter of fact, defeat is not in My vocabulary.

So watch and see how I win this war against Me, for I will win. And I declare Myself the winner too, for I always win. My victory has always been and will always be according to My plan and its results.

So look up for your redemption draws nigh.

Now child, watch and see what I do. Celebrate My victory. Rejoice and praise Me for I do indeed work out all things for the good of those who love Me and whom I love.

So look up My child. Victory is on the horizon. It is coming. In fact, it’s been ordained and destined by My Word. So rejoice over My victory.

Now don’t look at what you see. Instead look at Me. For I say, “Victory is Mine.”

Thank you Lord. My hope is in You.

Lord, what makes success?

Child, it’s not money or fame. But rather it’s My Presence, My love, and My forgiveness. It’s the peace, strength, and joy I give to one as they go through events of their life.  Overall, it’s My Presence guiding and leading each life that creates true success.

In fact, the more of My Presence you have, the greater your success will be. When I fill your heart and soul with My love and you share My love with others, then you will have true success.

The measure of unselfish love in your life is a measure of success in your life. The amount of My love within a life is the true measure of success.

People speak of inner peace. But it is only through My Presence that one can experience the true inner peace that never fails. I love as no one else can love. Experiencing My love and peace is the greatest victory you can have.

What the world sees as success is not how I see it. But I look at the heart. Above all else, a heart full of My love is the greatest measure of success and victory.

Child, I love you.

Lord, I love you too. So help me to please you in all I do and say.

Lord, what makes me overeat?

Child, it’s your spirit that’s hungry. But you’ve been feeding yourself. The real issue is that you hunger for My Presence, but you’re going to food instead of Me.

So Lord, what am I to do? How can I defeat these cravings that drive me crazy? What makes me overeat like I do?

Also I feel ashamed of talking to You about my food when there’s so much suffering and heartache in the world. But what am I to do?

Child, go back to the original plan I gave you. Back then during your first 40 days of eating according to My instructions, you were very careful to eat half portions.

Know that it’s not half your food I desire, it’s your submissive heart before Me I desire. As long as you’re holding on to food in your hand, you can’t receive your victory that I’m holding in My hand.

Why you ask? I’ll tell you why. Back then you believed. Now you expect defeat and failure.

Back then when I first told you what to do, your thought was, “I can do this.” Now your thought is “I can’t do this.” That’s your main issue, your belief.

If you think you can’t, you’re right. You can’t.

But you forget, “I can.”

But Lord, are you going to take the food out of my hand?

No, I’m going to take the desire out of your heart.

I don’t see that happening.

Don’t sass Me. Trust Me instead. As it is said, “You’re on thin ice.”

Yes Sir. But . . . it’s just I don’t know what to do.

Do exactly as I’ve instructed you. As you follow and obey My instructions, then you will see victory.

But Lord, what makes me overeat like this? I can’t control myself. Why?

Overall it’s your heart that’s the problem. You love food pleasure more than Me.

Oh Lord, I’m so sorry. How can I change?

Child, you can’t. But I can. It’s time for you to have heart surgery- a circumcised  heart before Me. As you submit yourself to Me, I will cut away portions of food-love from your heart.

But you must come to Me daily (sometimes by the minute) for your heart circumcise surgery. As you come to Me, I will remove the part of your heart that loves food. And I will fill your heart with love for Me and others too.

Carry a small notebook with you. When you want to eat, write prayers to Me and for others. So you’ll replace food pleasure with intercession for others. This will fulfill two needs, the needs of others for prayer and the need of you to resist temptation for food pleasure.

My original plan for fasting was to change hearts and replace food consumption with God interaction.

So you’ll replace food consumption with intercession for others. This is a good plan, for it will fulfill two needs, the needs of others and your need to resist temptation.

Instead of your time being used eating, you will now be using time for intercession. This is a good plan.

Also be careful about your portions. That’s a visual of your submission heart, not a greedy heart wanting it all. It’s your submissive heart I desire. It’s your love I desire most of all. I’m not a controlling God that demands obedience. No, I am a God that longs for your love above all else.

It’s the love of food that destroys, robs you of your victory

It will be My love that grants you victory.

And because you belong to Him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin (food compulsion) that leads to death. (Guilt, weight gain) Romans 8:2 NLT

Child, you were created for freedom. As you yield yourself to Me, I’ll set you free. Then I’ll fill you with power to say “No” to unnecessary and trigger foods as you yield yourself to Me.

In fact, I’ll grant you the power to say “No” to all temptations. I plan on making you strong. Not defeated, but strong. Moreover I will grant you victory in all areas of your life.

So let go of what you have and come to Me empty-handed. Then I can I will fill your heart, mind, and soul with Myself.

Oh Lord, that’s what I want. That’s what I really need, more of You.

Lord, settle my mind, and my spirit. Create in me, a new heart and a steadfast spirit. Holy Spirit, lead me to Your will.

Child, as you seek My will, I’ll lead you. But you must seek, trust, and obey as I lead. When you turn your own way, I stop leading for I will not force anyone to choose My way. It must be your choice, your free will, that chooses to follow Me.

So let go of what is in your hand, your abundant food, your pleasure food, and your night-time eating. Satan wants you in bondage, entrapped in defeat. But you were created you for freedom.

Let go of your plans, your dreams, and your desires. For I have more for you. And I want to give you more beyond your dreams, plans, or desires.

What I have for you is beyond your imagination. I want to give you more, but your hands are already too full of what you are holding on to.

I’ve come to give you an abundant life full of victory.

Lord, my sins are piled so high that I can’t see my way out. I’ve lost my courage, my confidence and my assurance.

But You, Lord God, are Almighty. Could you, would you reach down and pull me out of this mudhole I dug for myself?

Child, I love you. And yes, I will lift you up to victory, the one I have planned for you. Quit looking back and beating yourself up for your battles lost.

Instead, look up to Me, for I am holding your victory.

Thank you Lord. Your mercy endures forever.

Child, what would you choose? What if you were called to give up your pleasure food in exchange for the pleasure of My glory?

Oh Lord, I want to choose You. But I am weak.

Child, quit saying you’re weak. You are strong. https://talkingtomyweightlosscounselor.com/say-i-am-strong/

If you’re full of My Presence, then you’re strong. For I AM all powerful. And I can pull You out of this miry mud of self-indulgence.

Don’t you know that if you have My Presence, you have all you need?

My children need to witness victory in the lives of those who identify with Me. My children need to see victory, not defeat.

People can lose weight with a strict diet. But you know it’s the minds and the hearts that needs changing. The desire for pleasure foods needs to be replaced with a desire for My Presence.

Habits need changing. You have the habit of relaxing after your evening meal with your pleasure food. So why are you seeking pleasure for that which does not satisfy?

Don’t you know yet that true satisfaction and peace beyond comprehension can only be found in My Presence? So what would you choose?

Yes Lord, I want Your Presence and the fullness of Your Holy Spirit.

Then come to Me, My Child. Come into My Presence. Allow Me to bless you with My Holy Spirit. I’m calling you forth to a higher walk, a higher place of victory.

Now come forth into My Presence and allow Me to fill You with Myself.

Yes Lord, here I am. Take my struggles, my defeat, my pride, my worry, and all my concerns. Take My heart and mind, including my thoughts.

Child, I don’t take anything from you. Not anything. You have to give them to me. Satan steals and takes. But I only receive as you give to Me. I never take.

Okay Lord. Then I give you my heart, my mind, my will, and my pride. I also give You all my failures, mess-ups, defeats, and shame. Lord, I’m a mess.

But I give myself to thee.

Child, I will change you into what I designed you to be, My victorious child, full of My glory, My Presence, and My Holy Spirit.

The oil of Gilead will anoint your eyes so you see the truth versus the lies of Satan. You will know the truth. Therefore the truth will set you free to live a life of victory.

Satan has enjoyed beating you down. But now I’ll lift you up, clean you off, heal your wounds, and fill you with the nourishment of My Holy Spirit.

Then you can go forth as My servant spreading forth My joy and love to others.

First you’ll begin with those you love the most. Then you’ll spread My love and joy to the others I place in your life.

It will not be a chore to you. But rather, you’ll be filled with excitement and the thrill of victory. Then you will spread victory to others as well.

So what would you choose?

Child, in My Presence you will have peace as never before. Come to Me all throughout your day, evening morning, and noon.

Then watch what I do in your life and the lives of those you influence.

WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE?

Evening and morning and at noon I will pray and cry aloud. And He shall hear my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me. Psalms 55: 17-18

Pray with without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 NKJV

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

PERFORMANCE-BASED LOVE

Child, you have performance-based love for yourself. When you accomplish much you feel good about yourself . But when you don’t perform as you think you should, you criticize yourself. You judge yourself as a failure.

Open your eyes to see yourself as I see you. You’ve heard it said, “Love your neighbor as yourself”. My child, I say, “Be kind to yourself”.

Quit beating yourself up for your so-called failures. You’re not a failure. You are Mine. I see you as complete in My Presence. I cover you with Myself. Therefore, your so-called flaws are covered by My blood and My Holy Spirit.

As you yield yourself to Me, I’ll lead you to your victory. For I do have victory planned for you. As a matter of fact, I have victory planned for each one of Mine.

When My Spirit is invited into one’s heart, I fill their heart with My victory. Then I lead and direct each one to the victory I have planned for each one specifically. 

FEAR OF SHORTAGES

Lord, Abba Father God, I’m afraid of shortages.

Child, you’ve been caught up in fear. Preparation is good, but fear? No, fear is destructive.  Child, as you seek My wisdom, I will lead you. 

But you must seek My voice and listen. Cut out some of that endless noise of media and listen carefully for My voice speaking to your heart. Remember I spoke to Elijah in a small, still voice. I never yell or scream.

Child, this is your word for today. “Listen, trust, and obey.” Focus on that. Then watch and see what I will do. And let go of your performance-based love, both for yourself and others. 

Yes Sir. Help my unbelief. Increase my faith, especially my faith in You. And help me to let go of my performance-based love, both of myself and others too.
