Relentless Conviction: Lesson

Now you know your ABCs! You need to ASK for help. You need to BELIEVE that God will answer your prayers. And you need to CHECK YOUR MOTIVES. This is what it takes to make a permanent change.

Before we move on, I want to remind you how much God loves you and wants what’s best for you. I want to remind you to celebrate your wins and give yourself grace when you have setbacks. I want to remind you that you can do this! You can do all things through Christ!

It is unfortunate, but we all have those nagging voices in our heads telling us we’re not good enough or strong enough to succeed at staying the course of exercising and eating well. We each have a long list of reasons to quit or to never start down the path in the first place. These lies are obstacles that we must overcome.

To help recognize these lies, apply this simple guideline: God's direction is consistently loving and truthful. If you hear a message that is true but lacks love, it's false. Conversely, if a message is loving but not true, it's also false. To dispel the lies in our minds, we must develop relentless conviction.

Relentless conviction means knowing what God says about you and holding on to that truth no matter what. Identify the lies you hear and replace them with God’s voice and the truth found in the Bible.

Practice RELENTLESS CONVICTION each day!

I would encourage you to pray to God each day. Here is a sample guideline:

God, sometimes I believe the lying voices in my head that tell me I am not good enough to reach my goal. Sometimes I confuse these lying voices with your voice even though it is not true. Remind me who you say I am. I am Your child, I am valuable, I am an overcomer, and I am forgiven. Remind me not to quit or give up. I know you will not give up on me. Give me discernment to know the lying voices from your voice. Give me the strength to practice relentless conviction.

ROMANS 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:19

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
