The Fail-Safe Weight Loss FormulaWritten by Valerie Mills
Yes Virginia, fail-safe weight loss formula exists. It’s so simple, we overlook it. Instead, we focus on latest fad diet or newest exercise video. The fail-safe weight loss formula appears in an audio program authored by self-help guru Brian Tracey. Here’s his version of this formula . . . Eat LESS, Exercise MORE. Guaranteed Every Time Disappointed? After all, we are familiar with this message. But, if we pay attention to our daily habits, this formula will work EVERY TIME. Guaranteed. How can this formula succeed 100% of time? It’s simple math. And math always works. ALWAYS. Okay, so you have a trust issue when it comes to weight loss. Let’s PROVE that it works. It’s a Numbers Game Suppose you’ve been gaining about 10 pounds a year for past 3 years. If your daily caloric requirement is 2000, you have been on average 100 calories over your requirement every day for past 3 years. If your goal is to simply reverse 30-pound weight gain, you need to reduce your daily caloric intake by 200 calories. Do ONE of following: 1. Eat 200 calories LESS a day. 2. Burn 200 calories MORE a day. 3. Combine eating less and increasing your activity level for a total of 200 calories, for example, eat 100 less and burn 100 more. You could lose 30 pounds by changing a few habits. First, eat half usual muffin a day. Then, climb stairs in your apartment building every day instead of pushing elevator buttons.

For those whose lungs have always been healthy, breathing is something we are most likely to take for granted. Yet, observe a preemie whose every next breath is another miracle ~ or witness someone's exhaustion, when in need of a lung transplant, who truly knows why they call it 'laboring to breath'. Then, we just might get a glimpse into fact that, if we can breath at all, we are a miracle, too. God is in miracle business, every day, blessing us in so many ways wherein we aren't even looking. In fact, we are so ungrateful that, if one leg is in pain, we don't thank Him for one that isn't. We invite Satan to extend suffering, with words like, "I may never be able to walk again." If our healing isn't instant, do we conclude that God must have stopped doing miracles? If God does do miracles, perhaps we decide it must be for someone else. According to your faith be it unto you. If you don't believe God heals, He won't. If you believe that miracles were only for beginning new church age, you're missing out on blessings. Scripture was written as an example, not a history lesson. In all ways God loved people of old, He wants to love us, too. There are many gifts of healing, not just one, with diversity and differences in operation. But, God does heal. After all, Jesus wasn't only gift God gave ... and a gift is free. God always heals, all that will receive, and that includes you, too. We might see a physically blind man. But, God may see spiritually blind heart. To give that man spiritual site is worth far more. In fact, his spiritual sight, along with his physical infirmity, just might open more doors of opportunity to minister, as people are in awe of all he has to share, in spite of that handicap. In fact, one non-functioning sense could heighten all his other senses for true greatness. Another could be physically lame; an outward show of one's inner desire to minister, but often faltering. Teach that person to spiritually walk, following none other than God, and they will be able to physically walk. As is often case, heal inner man and outward one will function correctly ~ regardless of x-rays. Then, there are those whose outward condition is in no way reflective of their inner needs. In such, a more immediate miracle may be in order. However, for those who don't give a hang about God, real need of their heart is salvation. One child was diagnosed ADD, in error. As it turned out, one eye sees far sighted and other sees near sighted. Also, there was construction going on in next room. It was such a distraction that all their testing was off. Children are often labeled learning disabled when, in fact, they are extremely gifted. If your hip won't stay in place, check out your shoes. It could just be that you've worn down a heal, setting everything else off balance. It may be side effects of your medication that is wreaking havoc. Look and live. Find source of problem. Sometimes, it's external. Get that corrected and see what wonders God will do. And, when you don't know source, ask God. Seek and you will find. Knock and that door will be opened. Jesus healed everyone that came to Him. There was no manner of disease that He couldn't do. Even in Paul's case, grace always has a point of redemption. And, didn't Jesus tell us that we can do works He did and even more? He wasn't kidding. And, God replaces missing parts, too, sometimes even without transplants! If you are not free, it isn't truth. If it isn't truth, it is a lie. And, if it is a lie, it was planted by Satan to keep us from our rightful inheritance. We can know this because truth always sets you free.
