THE BENEFITS OF BIBLE VERSES FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Your thoughts matter! When we apply biblical principles to our weight loss journey we open our soul which allows us to grow in self-examination. The bible helps us to be prepared when unexpected things happen. Not everyday is a perfect day when we decide we want to go on a diet to lose weight. We all have to keep in mind that we are surrounded by food temptation and food has a way of calling us. When we take action and talk to God about the messages contained in His word God will bless us with wisdom and understanding. 

BIBLE VERSES SPEAK TO YOUR HEART

How many diets have you tried that only come out feeling like a failure? Looking back can you see that changing the food is just a small piece of the puzzle? Were you able to figure it out on your own? Are you ready to let God speak to your heart so you can see your life through His eyes and not just a shape looking back at you in the mirror? Truth is we need more than just changing outer beings we need our mind to change by using the bible as a weapon to stop the fiery dots of temptation. God wants the best for us, he does not want us sick and overweight. 

Bible Verses Are Spiritual Weapons For Losing Weight

Speaking about weight loss bible verses, here is a great bible verse that explains how God provides the weapons we need and how to use them.
2 COR 10:4-6 
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having the a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Let’s take a deeper look at what is written in this bible verse. First we learn that the weapons are spiritual, not carnal. God provides weapons that are not physical or are found in this world. The word MIGHTY (through God) means having great bodily strength or physical power; very strong or vigorous; as a mighty arm. To the “pulling down of strongholds. Strongholds are a fortified prison - we become a prisoner LOCKED BY DECEPTION. Strongholds are the imaginations that entice us to not let go of destructive eating behaviors. The enemy is Satan works to reshape our thinking with one lie after another- so that we believe thoughts that ARE NOT TRUE. ANYTHING THAT IS NOT FROM GOD. 

Bible verses prepare us to revenge the disobedience of indulgence and unhealthy eating patterns. To obey God means to make wise choices that allow us to live a better quality of life filled with peace and joy that only God can provide. When we practice the skills of using spiritual weapons God will bless you with a whole new light for your weight loss journey.

Psalm for Weight Loss

Psalm 62:8 | Trust in him at all times, you people, pour out your heats to him, for God is our refuge. To trust God means that we believe that we can fully rely on Him when trouble is in our lives. When we put our trust in God and go to Him with our troubled heart and God keeps us safe and shelters us. As Christians we have the choice to pour our hearts out to Him for comfort, strength, guidance and healing.

Here is a prayer that goes with the bible verse that I wrote that you can use as a devotion today to help lose weight with God in your midst.

bible verse for losing weight Psalm 28:6-7

This is a great bible verse that tells us we don't have to stay there. I remember feeling sooo tired and just wanting to give up on weight loss. It was easier to start blaming it on others for bringing the food near me that I knew would stop me from reaching my goals and whatever I found I could blame my binges on. Then later I would feel guilty and depressed. That negative mindset is a TRAP! This trap is what is referred to as a "STRONGHOLD".  This scripture tells us that God has given us POWER, LOVE and a sound mind. For example, a sound mind allows for someone to be rational in all ordinary decision making. Those who struggle to be rational in normal circumstances: deciding what to do, what to say, what to eat, do not have sound minds. god gives us power and love to live life with a healthy mind, this is a PROMISE from God's truth. See the bible verse below.
​
2 Timothy 1:7 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

You don't want to think "DIET" again! You don't want to STARE AT that scale for the rest of your life. What you really want is to transform your entire soul! That means your mind, your will and your emotions. Stop going on the internet to find that perfect diet to lose weight fast so you can look good this summer. Instead, be trained up in your mind and when your MINDSET changes than everything else with fall into place. Success is to live with food in TOTAL peace. The pattern of the world is this! Go get a coffee and maybe a donuts with friends. Go to a restaurant and eat the warm bread and hit the gym and do double time and go for a 3 mile walk to walk off the calories, then tell myself it's OK that I did a good job. Sound familiar? 

Romans 12:2 — "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
