Biblical Principles for Health and Fitness Success: Health and Fitness Starts in the Mind
The battleground for permanent weight loss and freedom from eating disorders is your mind. When you attend an Eating as an Act of Worship Health and Fitness class, we teach this principle in the very first session.
Renew Your Mind for True Transformation
We call our lessons concepts because Romans 12:2 advises us not to conform to the world’s patterns or systems. Instead, we should be transformed by renewing our minds. God says that change begins from within. This contradicts the world’s idea that you only need to perform a new task for thirty days to make it a habit.
How many of you have stuck to a diet or exercise plan for a month or more, only to return to old habits? I did this countless times while wandering in my own Wilderness of Obesity and Eating Disorders.
The truth is that you are in a spiritual battle. Your problem is rooted in sin, and only the Blood of Jesus Christ can free you from it. When Jesus sets your mind free, you will think clearly. You will have the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5) as you eat and drink for God’s glory instead of satisfying your cravings.
Let God Lead the Battle
Once God gives you a sound mind in this area, you can discern His will concerning food, as mentioned in Romans 12:2. This means you will not only want to eat for His glory, but His Spirit will also empower you to stick with a health, nutrition, and exercise plan.
In short, although the battlefield is your mind, the battle is spiritual. That means the battle belongs to the Lord. Stop fighting against Him, and you will finally start to win.
Are you ready to change sides on the health and fitness battlefield? Are you tired of wandering in the Wilderness of Obesity and Eating Disorders? If so, Jesus is ready to take the yoke of bondage from you. He will lead you into the Promised Land of being Healthy and Fit for Life.
