How to Encourage Yourself
Published: Tue, 08/05/08
I heard a line from a contemporary gospel song not too long ago: "Sometimes you got to encourage...yourself." This is so true...especially when you are working on your weight and health!
So many forces seem to be stacked against you...your old habits, friends and family that aren't health conscious, and even those heavy church meals! Yet...
No matter what forces are aligned against you, you can weather them all if you've got strong enough reasons to want to win and recognize the supernatural power on your side.
To encourage yourself today, I ask you to remember one fact and do one thing. Here is the fact: The Lord is your banner. He is your Jehovah Nissi. Resolve today to wave your banner high in the way that you act and in the way that you think and speak.
Here is an empowering poem that exalts the Lord as your banner:

Now here is the thing I want you to do: Listen to your thoughts today.
Are the majority of your thoughts those of the victor (recognizing that you have the victory in God and taking responsibility for your choices) or those of a victim (blaming others and circumstances for your problems, and refusing to do anything about it - even pray)?
Here is an example - you are working on your weight loss plan and a limiting belief/victim mentality says: "I can't do this. I might as well quit." But you recognize that God is your banner and you replace that lie with God's truth: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
When you recognize God as your banner and hold him high in your thought life, then you will receive the abundant life and health that is yours.
Now to help you with this goal, I'm overjoyed to announce that I have released the Platinum edition of the Take Back Your Temple ebook - which includes the eBook on audio! Learn all about it here:
