LEAN GOD’S WAY
By Rev. Phillip Goldfedder, M.D.

Many people have requested that I share my new book with them since the only godly approach to weight loss is through the Holy Spirit. There are an increasing number of readers who can testify to significant weight losses of between twenty-one to forty pounds. May you be blessed with this spiritual information as I send this to you on a monthly basis which is noted in my website www.healingisyour.com under OUR STORE.

INTRODUCTION

The Truth is that you do not have to carry any extra pounds around with you, for they can actually be unwanted “gifts” from the demonic, supernatural realm. They are designed to reduce and even eliminate any approval you may have of yourself. Did you know that the way others see you is really the way you see yourself?

This reminds me of the story of a patient who came home following a visit with his psychiatrist. He reported to his wife, “I no longer have an inferiority complex!” His wife was excited to hear this and asked, “What does he say now?” He responded, “He told me I’m just inferior!”

This might be funny if it were not true, because people usually identify themselves erroneously by the way they look and feel. You have to like yourself and feel good about yourself because of who you are in Christ. However, it is the devil’s job to keep you off-guard and overweigh, so he deceives you through self-rejection and self-hate. Among other things, do not allow him to keep you from becoming the kind of person God wants you to be.

ARE YOU COMFORTABLE

Are you comfortable with your situation? This question reminds me of the Jewish storeowner who was adjusting a new sign on the roof of his store when he accidentally slipped and landed flat on the ground. A police office arrived on the scene, rushed over to the victim, rolled up his coat, and placed it under the man’s head. He then asked, “Are you comfortable?” The man replied, “I make a nice living.” To be comfortable is to enjoy the comfort the Holy Spirit imparts to you. Out of that Spirit-supported comfort comes the power you need to Lean God’s Way and be Lean God’s Way. Did you know that what you do not hate, you will tolerate? As much as I hate the word “hate,” I am referring to demonic activity that caused you to accept the gradual and cumulative effects that will result from consuming too much food. The reason you tolerate it is that you don’t know what to do about it. Regardless of the pleasurable rewards associated with eating, there are great penalties you have to pay when you eat too much. This is called bondage or living as a slave. I want you to be aware of the devil’s treacherous “DIM agenda” against us, which I’ve summarized as follows: D = Domination I = Intimidation M = Manipulation His agenda dims your view of God and causes you to see yourself as less than you are. In light of these truths, you must follow up on your initial decision to succeed with your desired weight loss by approaching it in God’s way. What do you have to lose, except unwanted pounds? One reason you haven’t been successful in the past is that you were attempting to lose weigh on your own by using man’s acumen and intelligence instead of applying God’s wisdom to your situation.

As you know if you watch the news, three is always a new study that contradicts the last new study; God’s Word, on the other hand, is always constant and consistent. By gaining knowledge from God’s Word, you can look forward to becoming an overcomer and a winner, and this will enable you to resolve unnecessary conflicts in your life. Later, we’ll discuss the Bible’s explanation about you being a three-dimensional person, and you will understand that you are really just fighting your flesh. As a result, you will learn how easy it is to crucify your flesh because God inside you will win this battle.

Godly blessings in Christ,
Phil Goldfedder
