Healing from Overeating Disorder
On September 12, a healing gathering was held at Tokyo Antioch Church.
As a child, Nobue Saito moved to a new location due to her father’s job.
The move resulted in a longer commute to school, and the stress caused her to start overeating.
Although she had been on the track and field team through junior high, she began to gain weight rapidly upon entering high school.
During her sensitive teenage years, she was deeply hurt and distressed whenever people commented, “You’ve put on weight.”
She never sought medical treatment, but she suffered from an abnormal appetite and found herself thinking about food constantly, day and night.
As a result, their academic performance declined.
After graduating, they found employment but continued living the same kind of lifestyle as before.
It was then that their mother suggested they take English lessons from a missionary.
Although they had attended church with their mother as a child, they had completely drifted away from it.
When the missionary shared the message from the Bible that “You are the light of the world,” a light shone into their heart, and tears suddenly welled up.
They had known about God, but had only perceived Him as someone high up in the heavens, merely looking down vaguely at the people on earth.
Upon hearing those words, they realized for the first time that God loved someone like them so deeply.
Learning that God offers not only salvation but also physical healing, they prayed for complete deliverance from bulimia.
Gradually, their appetite was restored to a healthy state, their weight returned to normal, and they were set free from their pathological, abnormal eating habits.
