YAHWEH'S Word
Bodily Exercise Profiteth Little
Bless YAHWEH for HIS goodness, HIS new mercy, and HIS love kindness, HE shows me each day.
YAHWEH has truly been good to me over the years that I have walked with HIM. HE has taken me from faith to faith. When I would hear the truth I would obey. As YAHWEH would light the way for me I would abandon my old ways.
As I would study the Scriptures I found out that our bodies are YAHWEH'S dwelling place. Our tabernacle, the fleshly body, must be kept clean and SetApart (holy) unto YAHWEH. I have always tried to keep myself in some kind of physical shape. Years ago, my husband, Pastor Roberts, and I would run four to five miles a day, five days a week. I would prepare our meals, lots of vegetables, fruit and baked fish. Pastor Roberts was my coach and he would press me to give my work-out 100%. Before I ever started exercising, I could not walk 1 mile without my feet and legs hurting, but I did not give up. My exercise regimen started when I was twenty-four years old and lasted until I was 34 years of age. My weight ranged from 130-140 pounds.
I had surgery fourteen years ago, which made my body change for the worse. Walking became very difficult to do because of pain in my lower stomach. I suffered much because I did not have faith in YAHWEH for my deliverance. By the hands of the physicians, they stopped one problem and caused many other problems to occur. My weight went from 140 to 210lbs of fat. It took me two months to lose ten pounds.
I would cry unto YAHWEH to help me and forgive me for not trusting in HIM.
After moving here to YAHWEH'S Victory Community five years later, working in the gardens and walking more, I lost ten pounds. My eating habits had changed and I began to feel a lot better. As we were still getting the community in working conditions for living, a year later in the month of April, Pastor Roberts and I were involved in a car accident. Which left me crippled. My left thigh was broken in half. My husband and I and the other people involved were rushed to the hospital. This time I had grown in faith and trust in YAHWEH and by the blood of YAHSHUA MESSIYAH I am healed.
My husband and I came home that same day rejoicing in YAHWEH'S goodness and HIS wonderful works to the children of men.
I believed that if YAHWEH suffered this to happen, that HE also could mend my leg. The Saints here at Victory were here to help me stand in the faith.
My left leg is three inches shorter than the right leg and I battle with pain in my left knee and shoulders and lower back every day. YAHWEH has shown me much mercy and kindness and I will forever trust in HIM.
Being here at this community is a blessing for I had Sisters here caring for me twenty-four hours a day. My dear, dear Sister Dean would feed me and bathe me every day. I pray that YAHWEH gives Sis. Dean, Sis. Revonda, and Sis. Kathy a special blessing from on high for caring for me. What a joy it brings to my heart to know that Sisters can care for each other in a great and mighty way through YAHSHUA MESSIYAH.
Eight years have passed and being led by YAHWEH, HE has shown me even more how to keep my weight off. I am walking 5-6 miles a day and rest two days a week.
The Sisters that cook in the kitchen try to prepare healthy meals. For we here at Victory are trying each day to prepare these bodies to meet YAHSHUA MESSIYAH in HIS coming.
HALLELUYAHWEH,
Sister Jean
