Faith-FULL and Fit

If somebody told you they were giving you the keys to add 10 years to your existence, improve your quality of life, well being and spiritual health; would you take them and use them? The knowledge you gain within Faithfull N Fit will give you those keys. All you have to do is use them. Place them in the door and turn……..

There is a direct relationship between faith/spirituality and health. God made us with a soul and body and they work together in an amazing way. Faithfull N Fit was created to instruct individuals on the basis of fitness, wellness and healthy living based on Christian principles and the word of God. This book will equip you with the knowledge to become wiser in your nutritional choices, improve your fitness, grow closer to God and stronger in your faith. There are many books out there that give you the physical tools to get healthy, but very few offer more than that limited information. Most of these books, fad diets and exercise programs have limited usefulness because they don’t offer a method to permanently change your mind and the way you think. Or a means to change your heart and spirit, all of which lead our actions and daily living habits.

Because the soul and body are so closely intertwined, it is nearly impossible to heal the body without healing the soul. They must work together for you to reach full healthiness and happiness. One without the other is simply inadequate. To have a healthy body, we must have a healthy spirit also. We pray and ask God to help guide us in every other aspect of our lives; family, marriage, fears, sickness… Why not health and fitness? “You do not have, because you do not ask God” (James 4:2). Prayer is key. “Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you” (Jeremiah 29:12). Pray and ask God for the change in your life you wish to see. Ask for a changed heart and mind… Changed actions and habits... And a permanent change at that. “To pray is to change,” writes Richard Foster in Celebration of Discipline. “Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us.” This is where all of your life changing commitments should start, with prayer and seeking God. No journey is safe to take without God. "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). Use the prayers found here in Faithfull N Fit or create your own. He is with you through it all.

We have struggles every day. From fighting our urges, temptations, bodies, etc.. But many times our battle is truly not in the physical but in our spiritual deprivations. However, we use vices in the natural (food, people, etc..) to fill the voids we are lacking in our spiritual lives.

Faithfull N Fit uses an introspective approach to improving your lifestyle, in which you look within first, healing the body from the inside out. It will teach you to recognize, focus on and change the inner/spiritual issues first. Providing an inward cleansing and healing that will in turn produce an outward change. This book will not only give you the physical tools you need to live a healthy lifestyle and maintain it, but more importantly, offer you the biblical and spiritual guidance. Guidance to help you fill the hollowness in your spirit that cause you to seek fulfillment in the physical and help you cope with life’s daily struggles.

You will find the means to improve your physical, nutritional, emotional and spiritual health. You will develop a closer relationship with God and learn to let him lead. All while renewing your heart and mind to elicit lasting healthier decisions. What God promises us through prayer, his Word and our faith in Him, cannot be matched by any worldly remedy. “…and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).

It is my hope that the resources here, within Faithfull N Fit, will help you grow knowledgeable in the aspects of fitness, nutrition and overall wellness. Allow you to put an end to the yo-yo dieting, emotional eating and lack of motivation. As well as impart the means to grow stronger in your faith and in the word of God.
