Lord's Table Testimony: Lois Miles

"Most of my life was spent in bondage to gluttony. Even though I accepted Christ as my Savior when I was 12-years-old, overeating was an area I just couldn't seem to surrender to the Lord. Food was always my answer when I needed numbing from stress, needed comfort and acceptance, or when I was lonely or wanted to celebrate. To my shame, food was my master.

"Most of my adult life, I weighed over 300 lbs. with my top weight being 340 lbs. in 1996. I tried many kinds of diets including some Christian programs, but was never able to keep the weight off or to maintain any kind of control over what I ate. When I finally reached the end of myself, the Lord led me to The Lord's Table at Setting Captives Free.

"The Lord granted me true repentance and began to show me daily how to hunger and thirst for Him in a deeper way than I had ever experienced. He began to show me how He could meet every need of my heart that I had turned to food for. And a really strange thing happened...my desire to overeat began to fade, I was able to drive down 'Fast Food Alley' without any pull from it, and I noticed my body began to act like normal people, knowing when I was full. Food was no longer my master, but the Lord Jesus Christ was and He had set me free! Through His grace, I've lost 140 lbs. since joining the course and have gained a new, wonderful walk with my Lord. If you are tired of fighting the battle with food and are desiring to find rich fulfillment of your soul through the Lord Jesus, then The Lord's Table is the tool that the Lord will use in your life to set you free too!"
