Freedom: Anita's Story

There is a question deeply lodged in the hearts of all little girls, "Do you think I'm beautiful?" Regardless of age, we secretly long to be found unspeakable desirable to someone who knows us, who loves us, and approves of us. Unless we embrace the truth, this insatiable desire can lead us to lies about our worth that have the power to control and eventually destroy us. In this powerful presentation, Anita speaks candidly about her own desperate search for approval, manifesting in an intense, six-year battle with anorexia and bulimia. Listen to how an 83 pound college student received freedom from an eating disorder, a freedom so thorough that both her body and soul were changed forever! This presentation will give you tremendous hope for the future.

The Major Obstacle on the Freedom Trail

As Anita began walking in freedom from an eating disorder, she asked the Lord to reveal to her what held her in that prison for so long. Faithfully, the Lord revealed to her what these obstacles were. They were the same obstacles that prevented God's children from entering their "Promised Land." Yet there is one obstacle that stood above them all. This major obstacle will always prevent us from the freedom and joy Christ died to give us! Could this be the reason you have yet to realize your victory?
