Why Manna?

Why Choose the Manna From Heaven Program over others?

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”  Romans 12:2

I wrote the Manna From Heaven Program after God healed me from an eating disorder.  For years I desperately sought help for my obsession, thinking that if I just had more will power I could control my eating.  I tried every diet available and even attended 12-step programs.  Still, I continued to eat until, in pain, I would crawl to bed.  God exposed my overeating as an eating disorder and warned me that if I kept on that course I would end up in a wheelchair.

In desperation I cried out to the Lord to deliver me, but instead He began to heal me.  God showed me why I ate; clarified why certain foods are toxic to my body and why I turned to food as a daily survival tool.  He taught me how to replace my old destructive tools with tools from His “Tool-Box” (Bible).  I have found healing from my eating disorder.  Since September of 1994 I have been successfully teaching and mentoring others in the process of healing from their eating disorder using the Manna From Heaven Program Book.

We as Christians have been bought what the world teaches, ideas like the following:

          It’s not what you’re eating; it’s what’s eating you…

¨    Not true… it is what we’re eating.  Foods of today are killing us.  Our bodies cannot assimilate the food additives, toxins or plastics, added hormones, which have been added to our foods.  We have developed allergic reactions and addictions to many foods.

¨    The above statement makes us all out to be a bunch of wing-nuts that has no control over ourselves.  Because we feel unloved we eat, etc.  It’s true, we have built up survival patterns/tools, which might included the use of food, but our biggest problem is how food affects us physically, not mentally.

Once a compulsive overeater, always a compulsive overeater…

¨    Not true… The good news is God can HEAL the person with an eating disorder.  We worship a God of healing, and our God can heal those suffering with an eating disorder.

¨    We eat because our bodies are not getting the nutrients needed to sufficiently operate, mentally and physically.

Eat anything you want and pray about it…

¨    This teaching has probably hurt the Christian suffering with an eating disorder above all others.  The person with an eating disorder cannot, and I repeat cannot, eat just anything.  Their body has built up intolerance to many foods and cannot assimilate many of them.

¨     We have found many of the so-called standard foods cause a physical reaction, what we call an allergic reaction.  For those with an eating disorder, cutting down on food is not the answer.  Two (2) M&M’s are just as destructive physically as a handful of M&M’s for the person with an eating disorder.

Loose weight and keep it off through by by-pass surgery, diet pills & drinks.

¨    Not true…  Temporary solutions only… Besides being dangerous (by-pass surgery has lead to many deaths) the person with an eating disorder will gain their weight back.  Only question is When.  Statistics have proven eventual weight gain using the above methods are inevitable.

¨    For those that have not handled the cause of their eating disorder; changed their eating habits or foods; which for many was the cause of their eating disorder in the first place, are just wasting time in their diet arena looking for an easy way out. 

For the person with poor eating habits, diets can be effective.

¨    However, for the person with an eating disorder, diets are completely ineffective.  For the person with an eating disorder food and its affect on their body, is the issue.  I know there are many books on diets, but it is important that the reader understand what eating disorders are so they can make a good choice on the program which best suits them on their road to recovery.

¨    The Manna From Heaven Program teaches a new way of thinking for the person with an eating disorder.  The program teaches those who are suffering and cannot diet new reasons why.  This Program gives help and insight to the person who has accepted their failure and settled. 

¨    The Manna Program enlightens the person suffering with an eating disorder and teaches them balance and the process of getting well spiritually, mentally and physically.

The Manna From Heaven Program will greatly impact the person suffering with an eating disorder. 

¨    It is a new way of teaching about eating disorders.  There is very little written on this new information.  This Program gives new insight on mental and physical behavior, which takes personal failure off the suffering, giving them hope.  For many, failure has taken away all hope, thus leaving the sufferer to acceptance of their failure… Settling. 

¨    The Manna from Heaven Ministry Program Mentors the process of Healing.  We learn to let go and let God, meaning letting God do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

If you feel this Program is an answer to your prayer, we invite you to join us.
