The first fall happened because of an appetite. Every fall after can be connected to an appetite of some sort. For years, I have battled weight issues. In 2009, I went from a size 22-24 to a size 12-14. I finally thought I defeated obesity only to find myself come crashing back full force back in 2011.  As I begin this new “WALK” to freedom, I was able to track my triggers and see my own road blocks. As I shared my discoveries, I noticed that even though I wasn’t at my final resting weight, people were being changed and mindsets about weight, food and exercise were being challenged to receive something new.

 

Pastor Idella recognized that the information that she was being given through Scripture was needed now. As she looked into churches all over the world, she saw an overwhelming view how obesity was killing the anointed.  She recall a conversation she had with GOD, where He agreed she was anointed by how she was keeping her body was an open door to the enemy to hinder her ministry and if she continued not honoring the temple it could ultimately take her life.

 

Two big challenges for those struggling with weight issues are consistency and accountability. Pastor Idella received a Holy Spirit Challenge to exercise 21 days straight. This challenge was issues with a no excuse accepted policy. Her desire to be fully pleasing gave way to an extreme determination. We all know how determination can remove the excuses. She became transparent and shared her challenge with others for accountability. So for 21 days straight, she exercised and saw a supernatural l results. She lost 12lbs in her first week and ended it with over 20lbs down.  This challenge taught her the power of consistency and accountability.

 

Being one who doesn’t do well with only identifying the problem and not presenting a solution, she created BODIES Group. BODIES Group is for believers who desire that every part of their life especially their bodies to be fully pleasing to GOD and a witness in the earth.   The program approach to food and weight loss may differ from other programs because it is based on Scripture and the development of each participant’s personal relationship  with GOD.

 

BODIES looks for the root causes for overeating and provides the participants ax like strategies for implementation for a better and more fulfilling life.  This program is hosted by Original by Design Consulting. Upon enrollment, participants will have access to an interactive Bible Study, plus weekly e-mail accountability contact with a mentor and includes prophetic audio encouragement.  You will be placed in a team to build and increase support and accountability. The program STRONGLY recommends 30 minutes of exercise five or six days a week. The duration of the program is contingent on the amount of weight you want eradicate.
