About a year ago, Kenneth Copeland talked on the broadcast about God setting him free from overeating and the desire for sugar. This inspired faith in me and I asked God to set me free. The scripture He gave me was, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).
I started confessing every day: “Thank You, Lord, that I am free from greed and gluttony, free from overeating and comfort eating and free from the desire for sugars, fat or chocolate.” Up until then I used to crave chocolate and would eat some most days. I continued to confess the scripture and for a while I was still eating chocolate and sweet things. After a holiday abroad where I didn’t eat any chocolate, I came home and to my delight, I found that not only did I not desire it, but I actually disliked it!
Since then the same thing has happened regarding cakes, biscuits, coffee and other sweet things. Like Kenneth said, I don’t have to resist, I just don’t like them anymore. The side effect is that I have lost more than 21 pounds! Others have noticed my weight loss and I have been able to give my testimony—and give the glory to God!
