Lesson 24: Walking by the Spirit: Having a Spiritual Mindset
Testimony and Question 7
Gail writes, "Through the principles taught in the Weight Loss Follow-Up course, I now have a closer and more intimate walk with my Savior daily. My focus is back on Christ. Daily I wash at the cross, am strengthened by the Spirit's power, and can better fight sin in my life. I feel God's love deep in my soul, and my love for Him has grown and blossomed. I am at peace with many areas of my life that I surrendered to Him during the two Weight Loss courses. What Great Love the Father has shown to me through Jesus, my Lord and Savior. I walk now by the strength of the Spirit in me and not by my flesh.
During these two courses, my daily devotions have been so rich. My focus is on my Savior and His great work of love He did on the cross. Daily I run to the foot of the cross to be washed clean of my sins. I let His blood flow over me. He's forgiven my sins, broken the chains that held me, and now my soul flies free. I rely on the Spirit in me to give me the strength to fight temptations daily. Each day I ask for my plan. God has shown me that to lose weight, I must eat much less at each meal than I was eating before.
I have lost a few pounds and have maintained that loss. My clothes are looser, my blood glucose numbers have been better, and I feel so much better when I eat according to my plan each day. Now God is teaching me that accepting what I weigh now is where I need to focus and not on if I lose anymore. I now know how to prepare myself each day to keep my eyes on Jesus in this lifelong journey and not turn back to worldly ways of losing weight. I am free from the scale, tracking, and counting every little thing I eat.
The two main things I have gained from these two classes are freedom from making food an idol in my life and, most important, a deeper and closer walk with Jesus.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to base their weight loss on Biblical principles. That desire is what led me to this course. I found so much more than just weight loss in this program. I found out how to fly free from the world's hold on my life. I learned that God's great love extends to all parts of my life. I found the way I want to live for the rest of my life - in the love of my Lord Jesus Christ."
