Congratulations

Congratulations. You have now completed the first week of the Sacred and Fit Program. You are well on your way to Christ-empowered Spirit-Inspired Health and Wellness! You have recognized that your life is sacred, precious, valuable...more valuable than any church building. For, as a believer, Jesus the Christ now dwells within you.  You recognize that your body actually houses the sacred union with the Christ and therefore the body can no longer be considered evil, ugly, sinful or bad.

This is the premise of Sacred and Fit. Because your life is sacred your body MUST be a temple. As a temple the body warrants love, reverence and respect for what it is and for what it contains....700 trillion communicating cells, each with a designated role. We have an amazing heart that not only pumps blood but responds to emotions through a vast array of nerves and nerve chemicals. We have an incredible brain that not only orchestrates the system, tissue, cellular and molecular functions of the body but also is the seat of both consciousness and mysticism. We can read the Bible using the brain's left-hemisphere but we are awed by the beauty of creation using the right-hemisphere. This fantastic body. This amazing brain. This marvelous heart.

This is just the beginning....We then have this indescribable spirit that yearns to know and be known by its Creator. That call of God that you heard once so clearly when you were first saved, is still calling. Knowing Jesus the Christ is just the beginning. There is a calling for you to fulfill. There is a purpose to be realized. There is the miracle of Christ in you to bring forth into the world.
 
 No matter if you wish to loose 25 pounds or 250 pounds, the journey of cultivating a healthy life style is a perfect time to reconnect to your life's purpose, your God-inspired dreams. The goal of having a healthy body is not to fit some Hollywood image of beauty but so that your sacred mission can be best accomplished. You may not recognize your mission. You probably have been too occupied with self-defeating thoughts to feel its presence. Overweight people tend to think negative thoughts about themselves. This self-talk just reinforces the bad habits; when you feel bad about yourself, it is easy to neglect healthy habits.

  However, that's over now. Each pound you lose will bring you closer to your life's mission. You will know it by it's joy. The sheer idea of it will make you laugh out loud. You will stop the self deprecating thoughts because you will be so full of your mission, your passion, your joy.  Behold, all of your  thoughts about your body have become new.

2 Corinthians 5:17  (Darby Translation)

  ¹⁷So if any one [be] in Christ, [there is] a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new:


Romans 8:11. (Young's Literal Translation)
  ¹¹and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you
