Bible Discussion Thread

what scriptures can you read to help with eating and meditate on to lose weight and keep it off?

Thank you

It's more of a lifestyle than a fad diet. I got tired of all the gimmicks. My brain was sending messages that I didn't okay. A sweet tooth is yeast gone wild. Brutal.

Jesus fasted 40 days and nights. The Bible says afterwards, he hungered. So He was drinking plain water. Our human bodies can only go 3-4 days without water; and the kidneys go into crisis. Diabetics, people taking many prescriptions need water and some light food or they can get real ill. Instead, declare a total fast from television, internet, media. It's as hard as denying food.

The idea of fasting is to FEAST on the Bible during. Read whole books. Praise in song and worship

Go for walks. Be your self. Bible says don't brag about your fast. Don't appear unkempt, sad mouthed and dragged out. Dress normal and your spirits should be boosted high just from avoiding media. Does for me.

Declare the fast in obedience to God. Do as unto Him, and it goes smoothly. We can't do it just for ourselves. "Ourselves" don't want to fast.

If Satan hears you praying he's going to open a window and blast in the neighbors backyard barbecue. Look out for satans mean-spirited traps.

If you can't do 7 days, don't worry. You'll be able to do it next time.

Expect a word of encouragement from the Holy Spirit. I fast when I can't make decisions firmly. The Holy Spirit will help you if you ask Him.

Hope this helps.

I can support that Television fasting works wonders. 30 years+ so far. Still need to try the other fasts to get the whole understanding.

Thanks for the reminder!

Hebrews 12:1 is a good verse to help with that. Ithink God wants us to remember that its not just losing weight but hes concerned about our heart.May God bless you in your venture.
