The Missing Piece to Your Health Transformation: Trust Your Maker

If you follow after God and believe with all your heart He is your CREATOR, then we must dig deep and ask some crucial questions.

And YES, this has EVERYTHING to do with your physical health. When our spirit and soul are wandering and lost it most certainly impacts our physical bodies.

Our SPIRIT and SOUL were meant to be FILLED with HIM. False substitutions lead to unfulfillment and the hamster wheel cycle continues.

Search for ANYTHING to temporarily FILL the VOID.
FILL the VOID.
POSSIBLE period of ELATION.
DESPAIR and DISCONTENT follow.
The SEARCH CONTINUES for PEACE. REPEAT.

CHRONIC STRESS, which all of ⬆️ leads to can lead to excessive worry, weight gain, mental health woes, weak immune strength, digestive issues, poor metabolism, illness, disease and more.

Trusting in your creator and believing firmly that He is with you always, designed you for a purpose more powerful than YOU and that He is always working on your behalf, resulting in a PEACE that the WORLD is unable to provide. Peace leads to transformation from the INSIDE OUT.

You understand on the DEEPEST LEVEL that when you CHOOSE to TRUST HIM He is ALWAYS beside YOU, whether you feel Him or Not.

If you’ve ever felt that it ALL weighs on YOU and YOUR STRENGTH, this knowledge is the greatest of TREASURES.

1). Do you TRUST God at His WORD?

It’s one matter to SAY we trust Him with our words, but are we trusting Him with our actions? He has given us promises and whether on the mountain or in the valley of circumstances, He is steadfast and unwavering. REPEATEDLY in the Bible He tells us to TRUST HIM, NOT FEAR and LIVE by FAITH. SO is THIS HOW YOU are LIVING?

No judgment, just a chance to get CURIOUS TODAY. The Bible says faith without works is dead. As you move forward this week, HOW can your LIFE be a reflection of your TRUST in Him? How would your LIFE look differently if you gave Him ALL your fears, concerns, doubts, hurts and insecurities?

2). Are you guarding your thoughts like your life depends upon it?

2 Corinthians 10:6 tells us to take every thought captive to obey Christ. Do you know why? Because our THOUGHTS become our BELIEFS and our ACTIONS confirm our BELIEFS. All that we SAY and DO begins with the THOUGHTS we PERMIT to take residence in our mind.

We are either taking part in the TEARING DOWN or the BUILDING UP process. Which will YOU CHOOSE?

3). Do the words I speak reflect God’s WORD?

Philippians 4:13 says,” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Yet I have really battled with this TRUTH and often spoken words in direct contrast to THIS.

The BIBLE is FILLED with LIFE GIVING WORDS of WISDOM that TRANSFORM LIVES. Speaking GOD’S WORD over YOUR life vs the DISCOURAGING, HOPELESS, SELF ABSORBED, DISTRACTING, DRAINING WORDS of the WORLD brings HEALING, LIFE and ETERNAL TRANSFORMATION.

The more I have immersed my MIND in God’s Word, the more I have witnessed WHO GOD IS in on a deeper level. When I SPEAK His PROMISES over circumstances, people and self I can TRUST with every ounce of my being that he will be FAITHFUL. What PEACE, my friend! This PEACE is not a FAUX, FLEETING PEACE either. As I DAILY press into HIM, I discover even more of this BEAUTIFUL GIFT. FEARS fade, HOPE springs forth and TRUST is STRENGTHENED no matter the circumstances.

I encourage you to get into His Word.

WRITE DOWN verses, passages, and messages that reveal MORE of WHO HE IS. The more you do this, the more His WORDS will be etched upon your heart and bring BEAUTIFUL transformation.

I truly believe with all of my heart that true transformation comes from within first.

You can try with all of your might to fix the “broken” parts to no avail. Ignoring the very essence of who you are, your spirit and soul, leads to temporary, unfulfilling change.

Have you been there? Do you see yourself in this repetitive cycle? There is HOPE my friend.
