Dear Family,

We have prepared a series of Letters about anorexia and other eating disorders, which are now posted on the MO site for you. These GNs will not be printed, so be sure to download them so that you can benefit from all that they contain. There's a lot of wonderful stuff in them besides counsel about eating disorders, so don't miss out!

There were a few reasons why we opted to post these Letters instead of print them. One reason is that we have so much material to print for you that if we waited until we could get them in print‚ we wouldn't have been able to get them to you for some time. We're hearing of more and more cases of our young women suffering from eating disorders, and the Lord confirmed that it was important to get this material to you right away.

We would like to ask you who are parents and shepherds to please read these GNs first and get a confirmation from the Lord before sharing them with your young teens, so that they can be presented in the right way‚ and also so you're available and prepared for any follow-up that will be needed.

The four GNs in the series contain quite a few detailed specifics about anorexia and how to recognize it, and how to help someone recovering from an eating disorder. We were concerned that some of our young teens who don't have problems along those lines would be affected by reading the specifics or could get ideas that they wouldn't have come up with on their own. That's certainly a possibility. But in seeking the Lord about it several times, He confirmed that it was important for you shepherds and parents to be aware of these things, as apparently the problem has become quite widespread, and the Enemy is viciously attacking many of our youth in this way.

Before reading the material, it's important that you have good prayer and call on the keys against any attacks of the Enemy or any wrong attitudes or ideas he would try to implant in your mind or heart as a result. It's important for the Enemy to be exposed, but he won't like it and will try to retaliate in any way possible. Please be on guard.

Peter and I are praying that these GNs will be a blessing and will help to expose the Enemy and bring the victories needed in this area. We're desperately claiming the power of the keys for those who are struggling with eating disorders. It's a big attack of the Enemy, and we appreciate your giving these GNs your attention, and following through with the help and prayer and support needed for those in your Home or area who are struggling with something along these lines.

Much love in our faithful Shepherd and loving Comforter, Mama
