Bible Study for Weight Loss To Change Negative Thoughts....

This bible verse is from a teaching from the Joyce Meyers battlefield of the mind Bible, "where the mind goes the man follows." I like how she states this truth. Wherever we allow our minds to drift that is the direction we choose to live in. We live in a dark place when we choose to let our minds carry us off by over thinking too much. 

​If we focus only on negative things of ourselves then will end up living a negative life. We allow ourselves to be STUCK in a place that is less than desirable. We let everything bother us (or we are too quick to only see the BAD and we voice our poor thoughts and opinions to be the center of negative conversation. This is NOT GOOD.

We soon find ourselves losing our joy and we lose our way in life as we choose to see each circumstance as nothing but misery – and it all started with our own thinking. My Mom used to call it, "waking up on the wrong side of the bed". Today everyone is quick to call it, "STRESSED OUT and I've had many of those days. 

I like how Joyce Meyers refers to our negative thinking, she calls it “ our stinking think”n”. So to put it another way if we want to live a positive life we learn that our thoughts and our focus become what we think. God wants our minds to be filled with positive beautiful healthy thoughts. The more we focus on those things that God wants us to think about the more readily we can defeat Satan and the unhealthy practice of overeating, junk food eating and binge eating foods that we know will harm us.

​So if you found yourself thinking of ice cream, pastries, candy and donuts know that it’s just the devil that wants you and I to fall into temptation to make us get sad and sick. This is a REALLY good example of how mood and food are connected to our faith! This is the "CORE TEACHING" of Conquer Cravings For Christians.  

Question is how can you change "misery" to become more of a melody in your heart? The answer is spend time "Soul Searching". In Psalm 77:6 We read, I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, and my spirit ponders. Notice some important words here. In the first section (remember my song) I believe the gift of music is extremely powerful. Here's why! 

Worship Music is a form of prayer and makes the spirit soar and carries us away from ourselves. When our spirit is being upheld with heavenly thoughts we are being transformed into the likeness of Jesus. This is a state of being humble. Also, music is very repetitive and it only makes sense that by listening to a message repetitively, that, the message will manifest itself in our mind. 

The second section states; meditate WITH my heart. Most folks who have no faith claim that meditation is silence or a space between 2 worlds. Meditation is useless if we only practice a state of relaxation. This practice does not allow me to learn, grow and change. In fact, God instructs us to meditate (pray)  for that very reason. To Learn of ourselves, to learn of his ways, to trust and to grow from our hardships and challenges and change as he REVEALS truth (wisdom) in our hearts. Without truth there is no change. 

Begin your day by inviting worship music and prayer into your life. Remember to SING a song of PRAISE and truth. Take time to write your feelings and pray to ask God to RENEW A RIGHT SPIRT within you.
