Child Healing and Weight Loss Testimony

Dear Brethren, Family, and Friends,

I am shocked at how easy weight loss was been once I found the right combination of healthy keto together with intermittent fasting. I was weighing 275 pounds just 6 months ago. Today, February 9, 2023, I am at a healthy 210 pounds.  

For a couple of years, I prayed every once in a while about what I needed to do to lose the weight without losing muscle mass. God began to tell me what I needed to get rid of. I obeyed. Weight loss was important to me because I like to work out, and I have 11-year-old triplets. I am 67 years old and must keep my strength and health, spiritually, mentally, and physically to a level where I can teach, instruct, and even play with my young boys. So, I did this healthy keto with intermittent fasting with God’s help and direction, and it worked beautifully for me. I did it more for the children than for me. Of course, it will help with my clothing, youthfulness, and so on, since I am down to a loose size 36, down from a tight-butt 44 at the waist and so on. No more double XX shirts and extra humongous underwear! No more! Ha-ha! Maybe that was TMI!

Praise the Lord, O my soul. Do not forget all his kind deeds. He is the one who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, who delivers your life from the Pit, who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion, who satisfies your life with good things, so your youth is renewed like an eagle’s. (Psalms 103:3-5 NKJV)

I failed in my fatherly duties in the past with other children (now in their 30’s and 40’s). I failed at raising them right. I started out right but allowed my own ugly disobedience to influence everything in my life. I repented in 1999. God promised me restoration, but I didn’t know how it was going to happen. In the area of raising children, my restoration began with the triplets.

When these triplet boys were born, I vowed to the Lord to do my part to have them grow up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, whatever that would mean for them. (Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:4) I have been faithful at keeping my vow.

One of the things I was required by the Lord to do was to home-school these boys. It is a lot of teaching and instruction, but so very important to keep them out of the bad influence that runs wild in many schools. Hopefully, that will change, but it is the best thing for them as they grow up.

The next part of the vow was to diligently instruct them in the Word, take them to a powerful church with anointed leaders and long-standing marriages that would be an example to them. At our church, there are very strong work, business, marriage, and ministry ethics expressed in many ways. I’ve never seen a church like it anywhere, and I have been around. It is truly amazing. That is what is being put in them weekly. Thank you, Lord!

So, whenever someone invites me to preach, I will be coming with my sons. Be ready for it. I will not ever leave them behind. They need to witness the anointing at work mightily in services where I go to minister. Also, it will stir them up to serve the Lord without compromise, and to step into ministry, business, or whatever areas the Lord wants them in. Soon enough, they will be teaching and preaching. They already bring people to salvation, healing and so on. It is amazing to watch their progress in the Lord!

Here is a mighty testimony.

The other day one of my boys threw up his lunch and dinner and then threw up about 3 more times. I was really watching his electrolyte level closely. I watched for the signs of dehydration. You can’t let it go there. My son was quite pale by the time he went to bed. I gave him some electrolyte drink, but that was not what got him healed. He was feeling bad. Of course, we prayed together and applied the Word in the Name of Jesus. The other two boys agreed. They went to bed.

But he lifted up our illnesses, he carried our pain; even though we thought he was being punished, attacked by God, and afflicted for something he had done. He was wounded because of our rebellious deeds, crushed because of our sins; he endured punishment that made us well; because of his wounds we have been healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5 NET)

That is an exact translation of the Hebrew text. These verses were speaking of physical illness and pain, and what Jesus bore for us in His great sacrifice. We don’t have to depend on a literal translation though to understand that Isaiah was speaking of physical healing and not spiritual healing. I write this because many that deny that healing was provided in th
