Lesson 8: Warring Against the Flesh - Following Jesus in Suffering
Testimony and Question 6
Patty writes, "The washing, walking, and warring principles taught in Setting Captives Free's Weight Loss courses are now all in my head every day. They are easy to remember and are constantly used. I have felt so close to Jesus during this time because a lot of other things that took my focus are no longer my focus. My priorities stay straight as I keep my eyes on Jesus.
Physically, I am now 23 pounds lighter. I consider that one of the bonuses of this study. I began this study looking for a Christian weight loss program, but I lost so much more than weight. I lost some of the negative thinking. I also lost other idols that I had in my life. I lost a lot of my worldly vision.
What I gained was an amazing relationship with my Savior. The relationship was there but not as intense as it is today. I look forward every morning to sitting down with Him as we work through the study together. This study coincided with so many other things that God put in my life, and I have enjoyed the opportunity to share with others about the cross and the need to go to it daily. Now I am a better witness for Jesus Christ.
I’m still wearing the same clothes, but they do fit better. My recent lab work showed that my cholesterol was still high, but everything else was right on target. I can breathe easier when I walk up the steps. I have more energy, which helps a lot since I am currently reentering the workforce.
I recommend this study; it was wonderful. I love the massive amount of Scripture that backs up all the statements. I like evidence when I read things, and the Biblical evidence was always there to support the words that were being said. This was by far the best weight study I have ever completed."
