Lesson 12 Walking by the Spirit: Changed Into a New Person
Testimony and Question 6
Elaine writes, "The weight loss courses at Setting Captives Free have brought the Scriptures to life for me. Verses I've read before, have new meaning for me now. I have a new understanding of God's love for me as well as a way to fight against my flesh that tries to pull me away from Him. I now have developed a routine of study and prayer throughout my day, which has helped in so many ways. Focusing on Christ rather than food or diet programs has been so much more beneficial, freeing, and better for my health. I am so grateful I took these courses. And I look forward to taking more. My eyes have been opened, my heart has been filled, and my God is blessing me beyond measure.
The biggest changes I have experienced are that I'm no longer obsessing over diets, scales, carbs, meetings, calls, do's and don'ts, etc., etc. My mind is so much clearer to focus on God, and His plan for me is so much less stressful. He knows what's best. Yes, clothes fit better. I'm eating healthier and less food for sure. I have physical challenges, so I can't move as much at times. But when I can, I do more. Mentally, I'm not depressed or hanging my head in defeat with thoughts of failure consuming me. Each day is a new one, and I strive to move to glorify God in all I do, and when I fall short, I go to the cross (sometimes faster than others-it's a process I've learned) and God fills me and renews me with His love, forgiveness, and encouragement to walk and war as taught.
I recommend this course to others, not just for weight issues, but also for a deeper connection to God, His love, and the truths that were shared in scripture to follow the three foundational principles to a closer walk with God and cope in this world with the many things that attempt to pull us away from His love (addictions, hurts, habits, etc.). These courses are for everyone, but they caught my attention because of my weight issues."
