Are you an overweight, lazy, glutton, who desires to be set free from these sins? Because that is what they are: sins against God. If so take the Lord's Table Course @
Setting Captives Free
Here is my testimony!
At the beginning of this course for a second time I came with right motives. First, for the glory of God. Secondly, to truly repent of my laziness and my gluttony. Lastly, because I wanted to honor God with the body that He has given to me. As I think upon these things I can see how each of them has reminded me to keep going when temptations come. I would always remind myself that I need to exercise, because it brings glory to God and that I am repenting (turning away from my old lifestyle), even though exercising was what I didnt want to do. I still struggle with this sometimes, but am learning to have a more joyous attitude about it. I like being able to go for walk and even see jogging as something to conquer, instead of dreading! When it comes to food, I have greatly noticed that my portions are half of what they used to be. Ive also realized that I am not hypoglycemic and the reason I used to think I was was because I would eat too often. I know only eat a snack in between lunch and dinner when there is going to be 5 hours or more between that meal. I only get shakey a little now. I used to get shakey between breakfast and lunch, but I was eating too much for breakfast and my blood sugar would crash because of it. Now that I am eating 3 smaller meals a day and 1 snack, and sometimes a dessert, I see that food is meant to nourish my body, not my soul. I think the major thing this course has taught was to put Christ first. Since Ive started this course Ive started to get up early in the morning and reading my Bible, before I even get ready for work! This has been good. Ive even been praying more the last few days than I ever have before. I feel that my 3 motives were fulfilled in this course. I can look forward to the future and see how the foundations I learned in this course will always remind me to put Christ first. The things Ive learned in this course also apply to other areas of my life and I just love that! Its been good. Ive learned so much and am thankful that I have finished this course and have lost some weight!I hope to continue to lose even more for Gods glory
