Anyone who has ever spoken on behalf of God turns people from idols. That is the purpose of The Tablet. True religion necessitates that we turn heart, soul, mind, and strength away from Egypt, idols, and the love of the world...
Sweets are made by God for the enjoyment of mankind. Proverbs 24:13 says, “Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.” God made the sweet to adorn the food—your bagel in the morning or icing on your cinnamon roll...
Many people—under the guise of righteous self-discipline—try to run not only their lives but others’ lives as well, because they think they can. These people try to mix WeighDown and their diet and call themselves “successful dieters,” but the fruit of this strained life is barren...
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I want to change the word “self-control” to “God-control.” Dieting and saying “yes” to dieting is wrong because it is person control vs. God control...
If you struggle with weight loss, it could be a sign that you need to let go of control with your eating, because you will become “out-of-control!” We all need to look inward to find out what the body is calling for, because in the end, eating the same thing over and over with large volumes of low-calorie foods will extradite a binge...
If you have done Weigh Down before, do you remember how it was when you first started? What did it feel like? You literally abandoned what you were doing before; you abandoned dieting, and you got in there and started finding the growl. You were so excited waiting on that growl. You were so focused on finding the growl and finding the full, that suddenly you looked up and you had lost weight, and it was the most exciting thing you had ever done in your life—eating regular foods and eating what you really liked! Why was that so much fun? Because you were free...
It is so important to remember that no matter what, we are going to keep going! When you are tested to go back, keep your list of incentives of why you are doing this close by, and you know that you do not ever want to go back to your old life...
“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.” John 4:34 Your food is to do the will of the Father. And what is the will of the Father? It is found in that growl. Waiting on the growl is like finding God, meeting up with God every day, several times a day. It keeps you so focused on His will...
We have been given so much... We have the freedom to love God and we actually get a second chance to hear His voice and follow our beautiful Lord. While much of the world is fearful of being controlled by God, we cannot wait to find His lead! Why?
They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved. Psalm 78:18
Do not test the generous boundaries that God has given. The volume of food you are allowed to eat is generous. Willingly cut back where needed. Do not crave anything but a relationship with God through Christ...
