"I'll never be free from these obsessive thoughts about food, weight, and my body."
How it sounds in your head: The thoughts are constant—calculating, comparing, planning, restricting, hating. It's the background soundtrack of your entire life. You can't imagine a day where you don't think about this because you've never experienced one. Freedom feels like a fairy tale for other people.
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound."
-- Isaiah 61:1Enemy—assignments of obsession, torment, and mental strongholds designed to keep you imprisoned in your own mind instead of walking in abundant life.
You've lived with these thoughts so long they feel like your personality. You've tried to stop before and failed. Every morning you wake up and they're still there, which seems like proof that this is just who you are now—permanently broken.
Mary Magdalene had seven demons cast out of her—seven strongholds of torment. Jesus didn't give her a 12-step program or a timeline. He spoke and she was IMMEDIATELY free. She went from possessed to being one of Jesus' primary supporters and the first witness of the resurrection—complete transformation in one encounter.
I REFUSE the lie that I'm sentenced to obsessive thoughts about food and body forever. IT IS WRITTEN that Jesus came to proclaim liberty to captives and open prisons for the bound—that includes mental prisons. These thoughts are not my identity; they're enemy assignments that are broken by the blood of Jesus. IT IS WRITTEN that I have the mind of Christ, which means my thoughts can be transformed in an instant, not a process. The BARAK blessing over my life includes blessing on my MIND, peace in my thoughts, freedom in my mental space. I am free NOW because the Son has set me free, and whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
The Father doesn't see your mind as unfixable or your thoughts as too entrenched. He sees a daughter one word away from breakthrough. He's not intimidated by how long you've struggled—He specializes in instant deliverance.
