The following letter was to a sister in the Lord who had a spirit of Bulimia.[1] She is a dear friend of mine and I was very concerned about her welfare. I had found an article in my local newspaper concerning the disease and was urged by the Holy Spirit to send it to her along with this letter. I hope that it may also help someone else troubled with this condition.
Dear Sister _____,
You are very dear to me, and I hope that what I am about to
say will not disrupt our friendship. If
I have missed it (the Lord’s message that I was instructed to give to you),
please forgive me and pray that I hear the Lord better next time. I am using “I” throughout this letter because
you know it is we (God and me) who are speaking to you, and that our God is in
both of us.
My concern is your weight loss. If you remember, I did ask you how you lost
all that weight so fast, and you never gave me a response. No; no one in your family told me anything
about your sudden weight lost You once
told me, when we were in ________ (location) about how you lost weight once
before and that your family did not approve.
I am not going to lecture to you, but I would like to share an article I
came upon along with a few scriptures.
At first, I was going to send you this anonymously so you wouldn’t get
upset with me, but the Lord told me to do it this way (using the computer because
it’s faster—not impersonal). I too, am
trying to lose some weight but by natural means. If “the three Ds” (diet, discipline and
discipleship) doesn’t work for you anymore; there are other ways.
Would you introduce the way that you are losing weight to a
church group? Your body is a temple of
the Holy Spirit and we know that God dwells in a clean temple (I Cor. 6:19). And, if I were a weak Christian, and was in the same
situation of wanting to reduce; should I follow your example? If my physical body couldn’t take the strain,
what would you do? Would you be able to
carry the responsibility of my death for following your pattern? (Romans 14)
It has taken me awhile in prayer to our Father before I
could confront you with this letter Sister _____. I love you and your family, and I don’t want
anything to happen to you. Again, if I
am wrong about this situation, let me know and pray for me. But, if I am right, know that I am here for
you, and we can get through this together.
Sincerely,
Your Sister in Christ
