It is the year 2023, and I just got up out of bed, and as I was making my way toward the stairs, I was taken to a place: it was night time, and I was standing between people who were standing around a fire, busy chatting away.
I realised all of a sudden, that I knew where I was. It was the year function, of my 16th year, for our Sunday school, and we were at our teacher, Mr Olivier’s house.
I could not understand as to why would God take me back in time.
The following conversation happened exactly as I remembered, 34 years ago. I was standing between a bunch of high school students, and Mr Olivier, our Sunday school teach came over to me, he had a bowl of crisps in his hands. He was holding it out toward me, implying that I can take some.
I remembered looking at the bowl of crisps, and heard myself declining politely.
Then Mr Olivier asked a second time, pointing to the bowl of crisps, that I need to take some, as it will be a while before the fire is ready to braai the meat.
Again, I heard myself declining.
Mr Olivier then inquired with, ‘’don’t you ever eat between meals?’’
My reply was, “no, I do not eat between meals, and will just wait for the food.”
At that stage the Holy Spirit asked me: “ Why do you think were you able to stop eating between meals, at the age of 16?”
“Mmmmm?” This got me thinking, and the only answer that I could come up with, was the following:”I was believing that my boyfriend at that time, was loving me, unconditionally and me only”.
Standing in the moment, everything froze, and I realised that I am back in 2023.
I heard the Holy Spirit asking me the same question again: “ Why do you think were you able to stop smoking while being married to Sharky?”
The answer came to me in revelation brick between the eyes style:”I was believing that my hubby, Sharky, loved me, unconditionally and me only”.
It dawned on me, as to why God would take me back 34yrs.
I remembered how I asked Father God the day before, as to what happened with my self control? What happened to me that I am unable to control my eating?
I was waiting patiently,then finally, the Great Final Answer came from Father God.
Can you see now, as to why you do not have the self control to stop eating between meals?
