You Can Workout Without Pain!
The blessing of Adonai is what makes people rich, and He doesn't mix sorrow with it. – Proverbs 10:22.
How was life before the fall? It was like Proverbs 10:22. In the Garden of Eden, Adam lived in a realm of life, and blessing, and never knew toil.
Adam only labored for ONE thing, which was the highest pleasure of toiling for something or SOMEONE; he sought the Lord and walked with Him daily. Adam's mindset was never conditioned to worry about provision because he never awoke in lack, and he never knew it until the fall. It's like when a person is born into a wealthy family and is served with everything night and day. I know it's a simple example compared to Adam's glorious life, but it helps you see a glimpse of his lifestyle!
It was God's original design for you and me because we WERE in Adam, remember? Thank God for our Savior, Jesus Christ, who LABORED again, righteous labor in the GARDEN of Gethsemane, and sweated blood so He could restore us to the BLESSING of life and the mindset of His riches in glory. Those who follow the Lord and are part of His Kingdom should awaken to this truth because they are restored to it, and they should walk in the light of this revelation and the manifestation of this inheritance! Knowing it doesn't mean walking in it because faith secures it for you!
Don't read what I'm not saying, please. God is not inviting you and me to a life of passivity or laziness and opening our mouths wide to be fed by a mama bird. Jesus exhorts us to work as long as it is day!
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always ABOUNDING in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” – 1 Corinthians 15:58
So if we are restored in Christ, to what exactly did God restore us?
In Christ, the Lord restored you to the blessing that ENRICHES you WITHOUT toiling!
“The blessing of Adonai is what makes people rich, and He doesn't mix sorrow with it.” – Proverbs 10:22
The Holy Spirit breathed mightily on this verse to me not a very long time ago, and it felt like a portal of blessings and EASE opened up for me that I never experienced before. I started believing it, taking God at His word, and praying this verse A LOT, believe me, a LOT. It's part of my daily prayers, and it's manifesting in wild ways for me. One of those ways is my health!
A year ago, the Lord led me to know about intermittent fasting and poured joy, excitement, and grace into me for this. I am enjoying every bit of it and NEVER felt a day I was fasting. It has been more than a year now. I'm not here to list the benefits of IF; you can look it up for yourself. I'm here to testify that the EASE of doing it is crazy. I am fasting for almost 18+ hours every day without feeling like I am doing it; it is His blessing that is enriching me WITHOUT TOILING! You know those moments when you say without a shadow of a doubt, IT IS THE LORD! This is that.
Also, recently, out of nowhere and without planning it, suddenly on my birthday, I had this urge to go outdoors and start walking. You need to know I AM NOT someone who is FOR sports and to respond to this prompting had to be the LORD. I obeyed by faith, and it was a prompting filled with joy and not a religious spirit. It has been a week now that I have been walking daily, and believe me when I tell you THERE IS NO TINY SORROW OR TOILING WITH IT. God's grace is joy-filled!
I am living this verse, or let me say, I am living in the realm of this tangible blessing, and I am so thankful that the Holy Spirit breathed life into it and made it part of my daily routine.
I forgot to tell you that I work out until I feel tired because I don't want to abuse this verse; it says the blessing of the Lord enriches you without pain. You should stop when there is pain, even the slightest feeling of it, or else you are tapping into your effort of MAKING it happen.
Let God rule with His grace in you and through you!
What are the areas you want God's grace, ease, and blessing to land on you? Let's believe with you!
God bless you,
Tony Francis
