Thin Within

God’s Continued Grace through Thin Within

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

For over a year and a half God had been gently tapping me on the shoulder, as He often does, in an effort to convince me to take off some extra pounds, due to my high blood pressure.

I needed to get control of eating the wrong foods. I was willing but I just didn’t know in what direction I needed to go, that is, until that day the end of August 2004.

As I do often when I am looking for information, I clicked into Goggle, my favorite search engine, and typed in Christian Weight Loss. Up came Thin Within on the very top.

I did not remember ever seeing that one. About a year and a half ago when I looked, I had seen another Christian weight loss plan, but based on what I had read it worked a lot like Weight Watchers which had a lot of rules and regulations which I found legalistic. I knew that wasn’t the one for me and that I would not stick with it long term.

There is no self-condemnation; there is Grace, abundant and free, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

As I began reading through the Thin Within website, two concepts stuck out for me, one was that the weight loss was based on God’s Grace, and the second was with the help of The Holy Spirit.

Well, I knew without a doubt, this was the plan God led me to, because as you read through my website you see God’s Grace working through my life with the presence of the Holy Spirit guiding and counseling me, healing me through all the little stories I have shared with you.

The first thing I did was to get a copy of Thin Within by Judy and Arthur Halliday. I loved the book and found it so easy to read and to do. Results began almost immediately as I let the scriptures fill my heart and soul.

After finishing the book I still wanted more of His presence, so I signed up for Thin Within online, http://www.thinwithinonline.com/ which is set up in quarters and goes an entire year, if you so desire. I am now in my second quarter, and I continue to lose inches and pounds, and do not crave sweets, although now I can eat a small amount and have no desire for more.

I have learned to eat in moderation respecting my body as I listen to God speak through it.

For me, it is not the weight loss, but how the Holy Spirit’s presence convinced me to love and respect my body as His Temple. I find this program the easiest weight loss I have ever done, and see no reason for weight to ever come between the Lord and myself.

The scriptures and the writing are absolutely perfect and beautiful and speaks to our individual hearts. If you, like me, have been made aware that you are not respecting and treating your body as the Temple of the Holy Spirit, I encourage to take a look and let God speak to you through this beautiful weight loss program and Bible study, as I have.

I promise you, if you will trust and obey God, you will know successes, as you never have before. It is life changing.

God bless you richly as you walk in His ways for your life…
