I want to thank the Lord for breaking my dependence on heartburn meds. I have suffered with heartburn and acid reflux for as long as I can remember and I had to take pills every day. Now I need something for heartburn less than once a week. It has been miraculous, and I give the Lord praise for this for more than one thing.
I was convinced I had an ulcer causing this. A doctor thought that might be the reason. Gallbladder issues run in my family, so that was a possibility. Now I know neither is true. It was a combination of being overweight, eating too much and poor diet. I feel like many of our health issues are caused by over eating or gluttony. That leads to being obese and once the weight is on, it is hard to get rid of it.
Something I didn't know till I started doing research is that once you are over weight, your body produces more insulin, and that hinders you from losing weight. You can be eating normal or very little and still have trouble losing that weight. It is a destructive situation that can lead to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In my case, serious stomach trouble. Most doctors treat the symptoms with drugs and sometimes dangerous weight loss surgery, when the answer is fasting and diet till you get the weight off. I am telling you all this so if you are having issues like I did, the problems can be reversed. I am thankful the Lord showed me this.

The Lord set up this planet to give us what we need for healthy living. Eat your veggies, go outside, stay away from chemical junk, and you’ll go a long way to preventing modern diseases. We can’t live however we please and then pray for healing to spare us from the consequences.

We can’t live however we please and then pray for healing to spare us from the consequences. What I am thinking is that the Lord is trying to get our attention by chastising us for things like gluttony, and we brush it aside. We don't recognize it as correction, because it was like once the Lord saw I was serious about change in this area, he started healing me. It is like with getting free from bondage to something. When God sees you are serious enough to resist it, deliverance comes, but often times not till then.

I want to thank and praise the Lord for bringing me through and finally out of a spiritual dry spell. Anyone that has been in the Christian way for any amount of time knows what I am talking about. You go through a time where you don't really feel the presence of God. That is the time when a lot of people quit. I have been in that place for the last few weeks, with the exception of feeling God during prayer meeting, but this morning, the cloud is lifted, and I feel the presence of the Lord in my soul. Praise the Holy and wonderful name of Jesus for bringing me out of the desert to the other side.

I want to give the Lord praise for a good report from the doctor regarding blood work. 6 months ago, before I started my diet, my cholesterol was too high and so was my blood sugar. 53 pounds lighter, and both are now in the normal range. Blood glucose dropped from 110 to 99, and my cholesterol had dropped all the way from 204 to 157. \o/

It has taken a long time, but I thank the Lord for helping me finally get under 180! As of today, my weight is at 178 pounds. My goal has been to get to 175 and then stay between 175 and 179, so I finally reached the target area. \o/

I want to thank God for caring for me. He indeed is a Father.
"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7
He works every single second in favor of those who love Him.
Obedience to Him is the least we can do, and this is a blessing from Him as well.
"Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things." - Acts 17:25
"For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen." - Romans 11:36
It is like when someone say to you:
I will give you money and you buy this for me.
The money is not yours. Then buying what you were asked to is just what you should have done.
In the same way, obeying God and worshiping Him is just what we should do with the life and breath He gives us daily.
"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him." - John 4:23
Thank you, Father in Jesus' name! Where are you 2fw?

I want to thank God for caring for me each day and work to fulfill what He has told me.
This month, I started working officially in the church I go. I am there since October 2017, approximately.
And it is being nice, I am currently helping on Wednesday and Sunday's morning.
I have known some people and we have special meetings once a in while.
And we have a WhatsApp group where I post messages (and I was not kicked out).
And that is what I was doing for all this time.
And I plan to stay here and keep posting as well.
You are my brothers and sisters too because you all love me.
“...everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.” - 1 John 5:1
I love you all in Jesus' name!
Blessings!
