My Vision
I started this ministry 11 years ago not only, because I saw the need to
exercise, but I also had a vision, and within this vision I saw the need for
exercise in the church today.
In my vision there were spiritual gifted people full of the Holy Ghost,
and dying from Diabetes, Cancer, High blood Pressure, Overweight, Stressed-Out,
and some were feeling Sluggish having no energy and Low self-esteem.
In John111 1:2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou may prosper
and be in good health”.
Matthew 26:41 “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak”. Your
spirit might want to do a lot for the Lord, but if you are sick, stress-out,
feeling sluggish, and can’t get up pray. It’s going to be hard to get the
job done. 11 Corinthians 4:7 “But we have this treasure in earthen Vessels. “We have
the treasure of Christ that is the spirit enclosed in the body that carry’s
out the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As we focus on God, the devil’s focus is on
us, and our vessels, which is the body to destroy it. He can’t do anything to
our spiritual man, because our spirit was sealed with Christ when we accepted
him in our lives. So if the devil can’t destroy our vessel’s he will try and
make a mockery out of them.
In my vision I saw a group women fighting, and tearing down one another,
and on their shoulders were these negative spirits, that were talking to their
minds. Here is some of the spirits that were on their shoulders, the spirit of
backbiting, envy, proud, covetousness, low-esteem, anger, stress, fear, hurt,
depression, and condemnation.
The mind is the soul man, and the soul man is the spiritual and emotional
part of a person, and the devil will play on women’s emotion. Because we are
75% more emotional than a man is. I think that is why God calls us the weaker
vessel. The devil focuses on a woman’s emotions, that is how he deceived Eve
in the garden, and that’s how he also deceived the women in my vision from
knowing who they are in Christ and their purpose. My Pastor Granderson Wright
always says. “If you don’t know the purpose of a product you will abuse
it”.
If you don’t know the purpose of your body you will abuse it, or allow
someone else to abuse you.
That is why in this exercise ministry we encourage the ladies to seek the
Lord for a personal relationship with Christ so you can know who you are in
Christ, and what your purpose in Christ is. And when Satan comes with his lies
of discouragement you can let him know who you are in Christ Jesus. 11
Corinthians 5:17 “I am a creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new. “I am not that old person I use to be, I am a new
creature in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens
me”. This is our motto scripture.
Romans 8:37 “You are more than a conqueror” and in addition to that
we encouraged the ladies to eat right, and have balance diets, and exercise.
Exercise is a medication for the total body. It will make you feel good about
yourself, and when you feel good about yourself, you will feel good about
others.
Reminder you can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13). Pray
for a made up mind, then set your goals, stay in focus on your goal, and press
toward your goal, and don’t give up, if you get off…
“Just get back in focus”
Now my vision motivated me to focus on the physical, and spiritual needs
of women.
The need to exercise today can be seem all around us. From the over
weight person that feels sluggish, and that’s in bad health, also the person
without energy. It has been proven by medical science that exercise does help a
person with bad health. For example a person with high blood pressure, and high
cholesterol count will benefit from exercise. Exercising can help, because when
you exert the body the heart pumps faster, in turn freeing up those blood
vessels. Exercising also supplies oxygen to the brain, which also helps produce
more blood cell. It also relieves stress, which also takes a toll on the total
body.
Exercising will also help you to become very disciplined, because it is
so easy to quit or give up. To achieve your goals in exercising, is it weight
reduction, body tone, better health, or to increasing one’s strength you have
to be persistent you must continue to press forward, and that requires a made up
mind.
By now, you maybe are asking how can all this benefit a Christian?
First of all, by being in good health, this will make you available to do
more for the Lord. In order to work for the Lord you must also have a made up
mind. A person must also have a
personal relationship with Christ, so that you can feel confident about
yourself.
My Personally Testimony having a made up mind through prayer and regular
aerobic exercise, weight training, and eating a nutritional balance healthy
meal.
During
my pregnancy I weighed 215 pounds, but since that time (10 years ago) by staying
focus, having a made up mind I have lost 89 pounds, and been able to keep it
off. I feel good about myself spiritually, physically, and mentally.
First because I know who I am in Jesus Christ. That is to present myself
unto him for his glory and to do his will. So set your goal stay focus on your
goal press toward your goal. And don’t give up because the only one that can
stop you from reaching your goal is you.
Matthew 26:41 says “The Spirit is willing, but the Flesh is weak”.
Praying, Exercising and fasting all require discipline. We can all agree
that Christians today need more discipline in the natural, as well as the
spirit. Exercise is good, and being in shape is great.
If you don’t have the Lord Jesus Christ in your life, there is a void
in your life. The only way to fulfill, that void is by having a personal
relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Remember Philippians 4:13 “I
can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.
Sincerely
yours in Christ,
