Don’t Fast for Me – God

Child, I want to ask you about your ‘fasting’. When you’re fasting, do you see yourself as more spiritual than others? Do you have some ‘pride’ in your successful fasting?

Well Sir, I have felt some pride when I was successful in fasting.

Then don’t fast for Me.

Child, I want to ask you another question. Are you fasting because you think it will bring a quicker answer to your prayers? Do you think fasting will influence Me to grant your wishes?

Well Sir, I have fasted because there’s an outcome I desire.

Then don’t fast for Me.

Then Lord, what do I do?

Submit your food and yourself to Me. Allow Me to fill every part of your life, not just the parts you are willing to let Me have. For instance, you submit your Sundays to Me, but what I really want is all of you.

Here’s a new fast. Every hour of your day, stop your activity long enough to have a ‘short talk’ with Me. This is fasting of your time. Then every time you eat, consider what is before you. Give to Me that you would consider the most pleasurable.

It’s not the giving up of food that I’m seeking from you. Instead, it’s our relationship, the seeking of My Spirit I desire. It’s My desire that you find pleasure in My Presence, not your food.

Now this fast will be between you and I, for no one will be aware of what you’re doing. Only you and I would know. It’s the attitude of your heart I am seeking, not your food denial.

Okay Lord, what about family celebrations? Don’t You realize all the desserts that will be at the family gathering?

My child, I could remind you of all the suffering I went through as I gave My life for you? But what good would that do? For already I see that your heart is as the rich young ruler that didn’t want to give up his riches. My Child, I will intercede for you.

I am trying to teach you a great truth. Will you not yet understand? My child, what I desire is your heart, not your food.

Okay Lord, I do want Your Presence more than the food. But what will I say to those at the family gatherings who will encourage me to eat and taste?

Concentrate My Child, on expressing love to each and every single person at the family gathering. Ask about their lives and then listen, really to each one. Touch each person with love. Then no one will speak to you about what to eat. You will see, Trust Me.

Okay Lord, it’ll be a fun experiment to see what You will do.

Okay My Child, you’ll see and you’ll learn, for I will teach you. Because I love you, My child, and I want the best for you.

Lord, I love You too. I realize that you want the best for me. Just help me Lord to live out Your will for each day.

“We have fasted before You!”, they say. “Why aren’t You impressed? We have been very hard on ourselves, and You don’t even notice it!” “I will tell you why!” I respond. “It’s because you are fasting to please yourselves. . . Isaiah 58: 3 NLT

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 NLT

And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. Matthew 6:16 NLT

Success Begins with the First Choice

Child, success begins with your first choice. Whether to obey Me or not, you get to choose. But consequences always result from your choice. Whether its negative or successful, your results are always determined by choice. And you always get to choose. Your success, rather your victory to overcome is always the result of your choice.

But Lord, my will is weak.

Child, if you come to Me, I will make you strong. But know this, as you come to each choice decision, each time you choose to resist temptation, and choose correctly as I lead, then your strength will increase.

Strength upon strength, victory upon victory until your goals are achieved and success arrives at your door. Success and victory are determined by many wise choices built upon each other. But it all begins with the first choice.

Lord, help me choose Your will today with all my choices. But how do I know what to do, say, even eat, especially eat since I want to lose this extra weight? Originally, long ago, You lead Me to eat only three meals with no snacks or extra servings. And You delivered me of those 90 pounds.

But now here I am, older and it seems I am physically more fragile and weaker than ever before. So, what is Your plan for now? Do I go back to 3 meals a day without snacking again? Do I give up all desserts? Do I cut my food in half like before? Do I go on a specific diet?

So, what do I do now? How do I begin? Will I be able to follow Your plan for my eating for another 40 days as You had me to back when I lost that 90 pounds?

Child, you can do all things with MY help. You can do all things including eat what is sufficient and follow My guidance as I lead. That’s the most important choice you can make, to follow My guidance as I lead you. As you stay yielded to My leading and obey as I lead, you will find your victory. In fact, I always lead My children to the victory I designed just for them.

The deciding factor that determines your victory and success begins with your first choice. So, what do you choose, My child? Your way or My way?

Lord, I want to choose You, for I know you are the source of peace, joy, love, and real success.

Then come to Me, My child. Submit yourself to My will as I lead you. As you submit to My will, and My guidance you will come to your victory. But it always begins with the first choice. You get to choose. So, My child, what do you choose?

Oh Lord, I want to choose You.

Then come here, My child, into My presence. Read My Word for further instructions. Learn from the example of others, their victories and their failures too. Then come here, My child, so I can lead you to your victory. After all, I have many plans for you, plan to give you a hope and a future.

Oh, what a future I do have planned for you. Rejoice for your victory is here. In fact, I’m holding it in My hand. Come into My Presence so I may bless you with the fruits of My Spirit. Allow Me to cover you with the assurance of My love for you.

Here I am Lord. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Maybe if I’m full of Your Presence, I won’t desire those treats of pleasure food. I want to find my pleasure in Your love and Presence. Here I am Lord.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40: 29-31 NIV

Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Ephesians 4:22-23 NLT

Child, You Worry Too Much

Child, you worry too much. Your mind is cluttered with much doubt and fear. This reflects itself in your body pains. This reflects itself in your tiredness, your exhaustion, and those times when your entire body aches. It’s aching from the heavy load of worry, doubt and fear.

You’re trying to carry all these burdens and concerns on your own. Give Me the load you are carrying. Let Me carry it for you. Let Me take this extra weight off of you. Trust Me Child.

Give Me your fears, your doubts, and your worries for I am strong, powerful, and I love you. I want you to give Me this heavy load you’re trying to carry. So let Me help you.

Lord, here I am. I don’t know what to do.

Sit here, Child, in My Presence. Be still and know I am God. Rest yourself in MY Presence. I will heal you. In fact, you are already healed. My Presence heals you.

Well Lord, what do I do?

First of all, trust Me. Look to Me. Then thank Me for your victory for I have already prepared it, designed it. Your victory is just waiting for you to walk through it.

Instead of looking at what you see, look to Me. Seek My will in each of your days. When you look at the negatives you see, it causes fear to rise up. But when you are looking to Me, seeking My will for your days, then you will have peace instead of fear and discouragement.

If you look to Me, you’ll have peace of mind. So, rest yourself, your soul, mind, and spirit and your body in My Presence for I am your healing. I am your power source. I will supply all you hath need of. Therefore, look to Me for I am the source of all you need.

Rejoice in My Presence. Pour out your heart to Me in gratitude and praise for your victory. In fact, praising Me will fill you with joy. Everything you give unto Me; I will return unto you 100-fold. Therefore, as you offer praises unto Me, I will fill you with My love, joy, and peace.

I know it seems odd to you that giving away actually increases what you receive from Me. It is more blessed to give than receive. When you give to Me, then seeds of victory are planted within you. Therefore, you receive more from Me than you can give. For you can’t outgive the King of Glory.

My child, you worry too much. Now come unto Me and allow Me to fill you with My overwhelming joy unspeakable.

Seek My Voice

Child, if only you would seek My voice and listen. Then I would lead you to your victory, for I have designed a life victory for each one individual. And I have designed an individual life plan for you too. Also, I enjoy talking with you. So come talk with Me.

The moment you were born I had already designed a plan just for you, a plan of victory and success. But you have to choose your own paths of life. You are free to choose My way and therefore My strength and the guidance of My wisdom along your way. Or . . . you are free to choose your own way and your own plans.

It matters not whether you are considered successful in the eyes of others. What really matters is how you reflect My eyes and My love to others. That’s the real victory in life, how you spread My love to others.

Give and it will be given unto you pressed down and overflowing blessings beyond compare. The greatest blessing of all in walking in My Presence like Adam and Eve used to. The greatest blessing of all is to feel the cool breeze of My loving Presence across your cheek. But to be in My Presence, you must seek My voice.

Yes, My child, you are coming out of this slump. You are healed and I will fill you with My energy. Your new life is on its way. I will guide you and lead you in the way you should go.

Child, never give up for I am with you. Come to Me, My child, I will help you and make you strong. I am your High Priest, and I do sympathize with your weaknesses for I was also tempted in every way. And encourage others to seek My voice too.

For every house is built by someone, but He who builds all things is God. Hebrews 3:4

But exhort one another daily, while it called “today” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:13

So then, since we have a great High Priest who entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same testings we do, yet He did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Hebrews 4:14-16 NLT

Come To Me, My Child

Come to Me all throughout your day. Seek My guidance. You call it “Seeking My will.” But Child, . . . do you not yet know it is My will for you to have peace, joy, and love? Therefore, My will, My guidance will only lead you to a “life” more abundantly.

20250602_1329052780483773561685104

This doesn’t mean more “stuff” which looks to the world as victory. No, instead, this does indeed mean a life full of My joy, peace, and love. My guidance will lead you to your victory.

In fact, it is My will for you to win your victory. Now My Child, come to Me. Allow Me to love on you and fill you with My joy in your life.

Okay Lord, here I am. I give it all to you. I’m a mess. It looks like failure to me. But here I am. I give myself to thee.

Child, you are never a failure. You are My child. And I am going to lift you out of this miry, muddy, sinking place in your life. I am going to pull you out and lift you up.

Just reach out for Me. Look unto Me. Reach out for My hand and I will lift you out of this sinkhole called self-pity and self-judgement. In fact, I will lead you to your victory.

Yes, as you look to Me, your life will end in victory. But I will also grant you victory for today as you go through this day. Each step you take will be a step of victory.

So Lord, what now?

Do what you know, what I have already given you, the assignments for your today. Do what you already know. But keep your eyes, ears, and heart fined tuned to My Presence all throughout your day.

And at the end of this day, as you look back, you will see victory after victory. Now watch and see what I do as I lead you.

It’s A New Thing

screenshot_20250926_124902_gallery8792010684366162848

Welcome to this new beginning. For several years, I’ve wrote the blog, “Talking to My Weight Loss Counselor- God.” Then over a year ago, I got very discouraged and walked away. Yep, the one who always says, “Never Give Up” just walked away.

But for several weeks now, God’s been speaking to my heart, “Write and it will come.” So, I’m beginning again. Every day, I look at this scripture. God is about to do something new.

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 NLT

God is so much more than a weight loss counselor. In fact, I’d say He’s an awesome life coach. After all, He is the way, the truth, and the life. Therefore, I’ll also write about life issues and spiritual issues in addition to weight loss. So, we’ll see how it turns out.

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 NLT

I know this verse was written to Isaiah, but it seems God has been impressing upon me that He’s about to do a new thing in my life too. What new thing is God impressing upon you?

The real question is, “Are we listening to hear His voice speaking to our hearts? Or do we just go through the motions of life, day by day in monotony?”

One way to get rid of monotony is to seek God’s guidance and wisdom for your day. You could actually turn it into a game, “Ok God, what now?” Then watch and see what He does with your day. You’ll be surprised at how it turns out.

One thing I enjoy is journaling my blessings for each day. In addition, I look for a miracle each day, no matter how small it seems. God will give you a miracle every day too. Look for it.

Today I walked to the end of the cul-de-sac in my neighborhood. Small, but it was a miracle to me. Because I’ve been in recovery from knee replacement surgery. So, walking down to the end of the cul-de-sac is a major event for me.

Now what’s your miracle for today? God gives miracles every day. but you have to look for them. I write mine down in my blessing book every day. At the beginning of this year God told me to look for miracles every day. So, look for your miracles too.

For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 NLT
