Excerpt from Introduction to The Chubby Church Book 1
 

Why I Relate to Moses

I flipped on the television to the Day Star network. The anointed Bishop T. D. Jakes of The Potter’s House Church in Dallas was preaching. The next thing I knew I jumped out of bed and started praising God, like never before.
 

Overtaken by the glory of His presence in my bedroom, I fell to my knees with my arms spread wide.
 

“Hallelujah!” all of my heart, mind, and soul yelled out, in adoration. “Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!” A hundred times.
 

The Lord had spoken to my spirit. He said, “You are called to lift the bondage off the people and establish the kingdom of God.”
 

My soul vibrated as glory intensified in the atmosphere. A powerful surge of His Spirit moved through me, and it held my arms in the air. TV church was still on in the background, but a full-on revival was happening right there in my bedroom in Denver, Colorado.
 

I felt the call. I felt it in every fiber of my body. I was called to lift bondage! My purpose of why I was here on the earth, why I had read countless books on psychological growth, and why I went through deep healing and agonizing pruning to heal my past, my character, personality, and my pain like my life depended on it. Why I’ve been trained in a wide variety of areas in life like health, business, finance, family, single life, and marriage. And why I have testimonies for days on end.
 

Now, it all made perfect sense why anyone would have to do that depth of soul work. It was because I’m a believer on a mission to equip the body of Christ with practical and psychological wisdom. I’m to provide practical strategies and advice to do life in Christ well.
 

I knew my calling would manifest itself as an author to write books that help free people from their bondages—all kinds of bondages. But I had to start by overcoming my own biggest, hardest, most grueling, and primary battle—the one I call Weight and Eating Bondage.

This inkling to write was already in me. But like when the Lord called Moses to free the children of Israel out of their Egypt, I too felt incredibly inadequate, flabby, and not good enough. I relate to Moses because I’m far from perfect, but my answer is always, “Yes, God!”
 

As you turn the pages of this book, know that I care deeply and resonate with the struggle with food, body image, weight gain, dieting, and binge eating.
 

I know what it’s like to feel absolutely hopeless that my weight would ever change, that my mind would be forever held hostage by its obsession with my next meal, or that I’d ever really like kale. I know what it’s like to be a slave to food, a slave to cultural body image, a slave to the scale’s report, and a slave to fear.
 

You too are an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb and the testimony of Jesus Christ (Revelation 12:11). Are you willing to do what it takes to overcome your weight and eating battle for good? Will you commit to your freedom? Just go ahead and tell the Lord, “Yes!”
