And God said, “I am going to have you fast because I’m going to show you that I am enough for you.” He said, “I want you to go on a juice fast for three days, and I am going to sustain you. I am going to show you that I am enough.” And He said, “Your focus isn’t going to be to lose weight this time. Your focus is going to be to be joined with Me.” He said, “I am going to meet every need that food’s ever met in your life, and I am going to let you have My presence.”
Because, you know, when you have repentance, you enter into God’s presence. And it’s just a turning of our heart. It’s not a work’s thing, it’s a turning of our heart. I said, “God, forgive me.” I saw it. And so at that point, He said, “Stop weighing yourself, stop dieting.” He healed my metabolism. I went on the fast for three days.
And He said, “Now I’m going to teach you to eat until you’re satisfied, not until you’re uncomfortable, not until you’re gorged. And, also, when you pray before you eat, you’re going to offer up your food with thanksgiving as a sacrifice. And you’re going to say, God, this food, You’ve provided it for me. It’s a good thing. It’s not something I lust after. It’s something that equips me and strengthens me.”
And so I offered my prayer. I started to use my faith when I prayed over my food. And I tell you what, we have been married for 15 years now, we have four children, and at that time, He said, “I’m going to tell you what you should weigh,” because, see, Hollywood can’t tell me what I should weigh. God made me. You know, He knows what I should weigh. And He said, “I’m going to tell you what you should weigh.” And He gave me a figure. He said, “You should weigh,” and He told me I should weigh 116. Now I thought I should weigh 103, because I had such a weird concept of what normal was.
And so I wrote that down in my Bible, and I went four weeks of just eating until I was satisfied and just fellowshipping with the Lord and not dieting and not concentrating. And on the day that we got married, I weighed myself and I was 116. I had dropped like 25 pounds in like three weeks. God just totally balanced my system out.
