Freedom From Entrapment

Child, I’m offering you freedom from entrapment. So come to Me all throughout your day. Then I can help you walk in freedom, joy, and peace. But you must come to Me first seeking My direction over all your choices, even your food choices. For then, I can set you free from your food addiction.

Lord, I don’t know what to do.

Come to Me all throughout this day. Talk to Me about everything, especially before making decisions. Because then I can lead you to what is best for your life. And I will give you victory. After all, you do want victory, don’t you?

Yes Sir, I do.

Then, Child, the only to guarantee you have for victory is to walk in My Presence. Because there you will find peace, strength, and wisdom. As you seek Me, I will lead you. In fact My Child, I have victory for this day already planned for you. So look for it.

Instead of your “to do” list, why don’t you make a “Victory list” for today. Throughout your day, list your victories. Try this every hour. Then you can see how blessed you are.

As you look for your victories, you’ll find them. They will not be hard for you to see. Just open your eyes. Because I have placed them all around you. Just look and see what I have done.

Also turn your eyes away from evil of all kinds, your so-called news, your so-called social media, and your so-called entertainment. Turn your eyes upon Jesus . . .

Lord, I turn to You. Help me today in all I do and say. Guide me in all my eating and not eating too. Indeed, I want freedom from this entrapment of food addiction. So I ask You, help me defeat this enemy within my life.

I give myself to You. Have Your way in my life. Thank you for hearing my prayers and My heart-cries too.

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?

Today’s a new day of victory for you, My child. In fact, you’re going to have both new victory and new strength through My power.

As you surrender, I will increase your strength with My strength. Thereby increasing your victory. See, your victory is guaranteed through the power of My victory.
