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.

  • If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. Matthew 16:24
  • . . . If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, “Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you. Matthew 17:20

Child of Mine, not even losing excess weight is impossible. In fact, it’ll be easy. Because it just takes a little faith.

  • However this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting. Matthew 17:21

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.

Child of Mine, I will help you.

  • Let the weak say I am strong. Joel 3:10
  • The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trust in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him. Psalms 28:7
  • In the day I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul. Psalms 138:8

Child of Mine, you already have the strength to say “No” to temptation for I have already given it to you.

  • You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1John 4:4

Yes, Child of Mine, you have all the power you need. As a matter of fact, you already have all the strength you need to overcome and destroy all the giants of defeat in your life. Because the victory to overcome is already yours. In fact I have granted you victory.

  • I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with My eye. Psalms 32:8

Child of Mine, I will lead you to the victory I designed for you. After all, you just need a little faith.

40 Days of Victory

Lord, is it possible? During this season of holidays, is it possible that I could have 40 days of victory?

Today, I’m giving you the gift of “Victory” over food addiction.

And yes you can, with My help, you can do all things. But you must submit and obey Me in all things. Starting over again today, begin to obey all you know to be true.

But Lord, I’m not sure I can now. I’ve messed up so much.

Yes Child, you can. But you must be willing to fight. Fight to eat correctly and fight to achieve your dreams and goals. You must fight to pray and to redeem your time.

And if you submit to Me in all things and obey as I lead you, then success and victory will follow. For I AM success and victory.

But Lord, what do I do?

40 Days of Victory
God will help you success in Victory.

His Instructions:

Go back to the way I instructed you to eat. 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 will be 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. Because of My Presence on your side, 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?

Oh Lord, I want Your power. But what about Christmas?

Child, Christmas is to celebrate My birth. Today, you can have a new birth yourself. Do you want a new birth?

Yes Sir.

Then be willing to do as I say.

Yes Sir.

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. Because I can’t do this on my own.

But Child, know I am here with you. In fact, I will always help you.
