I was at a church servie (youth revival) and in the sermom Titled Restoration, in the speakers opening statement, she talked about the soul , some time we go to the refrigirator and look in and we don't see any thing and we come back again and so on..but in reality are we hungry or is are soul hungry, even after we eat a great meal and 30 minutes later we are still hungry.is are soul hungry or flesh. a lot of time we are submitting to the flesh and not meet the souls needs which is the word of God.
"Ask and it shall be given you; seek and you shall find; knock and the door shall be opened." Matthew 7:7
I have gotten great weight loss success at Weight Watchers, yet it is so easy to creep up again even after all I have learned.
I began to realize part of my eating habits where just that "habits".
Habits that I was using like an addiction.
The scriptures that have helped me the most have been from Deut: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and the Exodus story about the "golden calf".
I began to realize if I was using food as a reason to comfort myself, relieve stress, make me feel good I was forgetting just who my Source is, like my ancestors who erected a golden calf in the wilderness I was turning to something else instead of to G-d for my comfort, release and well being!
Now when my old habits re-surf I remember prayer changes everything including me - ( : Psalm 23 and Ps. 25.
My weight loss journey has brought me closer to my Father, my King and hit home the truth that the Ruler of the universe is always there for His own. I am very thankful!
I am also a Christian, but my husband has back alided and it is really difficult living with an abusive man who is physically violent, I was very slim, but have put on 40lbs in 20 yrs of marriage, I am 25lbs overweight and have recently gained 10lbs, due to an antidepressant drug.
When I go to the bakery to buy donuts for my children, I see the lemon tarts and just cant resist one, I am having one every week though I know I shouldnt, I dont otherwise over eat, but at times like to binge on chocolates and lemon and cheese cake which I just find irresistible.
I had a Godly friend who helped me loose weight, but I moved away to another location and now work late and am sitting most of the time, yet I do exercise almost everyday in the morning, but seem to face a real battle, the little weight that I loose, comes back to me, I weight 160lbs now and am just 5ft tall.
Please pray for me to have a consistent weight at 130lbs. I am supposed to be 135lbs.
Thank you in Jesus' love, Maureen
my favorite. one is taken from mathew 4;4 it is so true man cannot live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of god.the best way to lose weight is to change our diet by eating more of gods word . it will digest better. and there is no natural weight gain. we need to gain a more spiritual weight gain. and that is through god;s word.
