Step 5 – CREATE A WEIGHT LOSS PLAN

Rise and shine! The Son is already up! This is the day the Lord has made…REJOICE! This morning I have step five of getting started reviving your temple, which is to:

Step 5 – CREATE A WEIGHT LOSS PLAN

To lose one pound a week, you must consume 3,500 fewer calories than you expend.  This amounts to decreasing you caloric balance by 500 calories per day.  It’s just that simple.  Burn more calories than you consume.  Your weight loss plan should include a combination of fat burning cardiovascular exercise, and calorie burning weight bearing exercise.

Don’t forget, your spiritual exercise while you’re at it.

Step 4 – DEVELOP A PRAYER LIFE

Step 4 – DEVELOP A PRAYER LIFE

Good morning, temple shapers! I can’t stress enough the importance of step four in getting started reviving your…God’s temple. Prayer! If you haven’t already, develop a prayer life.  Bodily exercise is perfectly fine. Necessary even if, like me, you have issues with stiff, swollen joints. But spiritual exercise is much more important and is a tonic for all you do.  So exercise yourself spiritually, and practice being a better Christian because that will help you not only in this life, but in the life to come.

Today’s prescribed Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

I’m praying for you! Until you read again…Hold Your Hope!

Step 3 – READ YOUR PRESCRIBED SCRIPTURES

Step 3 – READ YOUR PRESCRIBED SCRIPTURES

Good morning, temple shapers! How are you holding up so far? Are you eliminating sweets and other sabotage foods? It may help to cut out one thing at a time. For instance, if you eat fast food, sweets, etc., try first putting a halt on fast foods. Prepare your own meals at home. At least you’ll know exactly what’s in your food.

Well, below you’ll find step three to getting started.

Step 3 –  Read Your Prescribed Scriptures

Romans 15:4 tells us that EVERYTHING that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have HOPE.  SEVEN DAYS WITHOUT THE WORD MAKES ONE WEAK.  May God bless you as you read the prescribed scriptures. They are just what the Great Physician ordered.

Today’s prescribed Scripture: Matthew 6:17-18

You Were Predestined!

You Were Predestined!

Those who really know me know that public speaking is not something that I look forward to. So what I share below is very personal to me. In another post I will share with you the exact words from a dream that I once had in which I was in heaven. And the Lord spoke these same words from the Book of Jeremiah to me.

Enjoy!

“Ah, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am only a child” But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord. – Jeremiah 1:6-7

You were predestined! And your inabilities and insecurities don’t hinder God’s plan for your life. He didn’t call you because you have potential. He called you because He has a plan for you. But He needs a willing vessel. The issue isn’t your calling, but rather your response to your calling. So be open. Be willing. Be responsive. Lay down your fears. Lay down your views. Lay down your doubts.

Take your eyes off people and TRUST and BELIEVE God! Rise up. Stand up. Man up. Woman up. And do what God has called you to do! Be faithful to God and you will walk in His deliverance. He will rescue you.
