I'm down 60 pounds! I'm glad I typed this in again. I'm kinda stuck where I am right now but I'm NOT done, so yeah, really glad I saw this again. Motivation! Thank you God
Man...I needed to hear this. I'm small but I know I need to check my eating habits because diabetes runs on both sides of my family, especially my dad's--type 1 & 2. But every time I get the gumption to do it I find myself caving & saying, "Well, maybe next week." God bless this brother man!
Wow God is AMAZINg i just walked in the door from a gospel concert. i wanted some brownies and ice cream but this voice in my head"Holy Spirit" told me to get a yogurt with almonds so i did then i sat down logged on youtube and BAM!! this was uploaded. Funny how God works at times when the Spirit speaks LISTEN.
This one made me CRY!!! I've had a weight problem like my whole life. I'm doing weight watchers and have lost 15 lbs but I've forgotten that my body is God's temple. And then when he said "The only thing our fast food habits and saying our grace has in common is that their processed" I TOTALLY LOST IT!!!!!!
sir Karness you spoke my heart. This...battle is no different from all the others we wage during this walk. I needed this piece. I too have been struggling but with God's grace it stops today, these chains need to go, the excuses need to stop, my temple needs to be treated as such, the weight needs to be lost. Thanks for your courage to speak up about what we would much rather ignore.
One of the most profound poems I've heard in a while. Even skinny people want to lose weight. But truly what is more important is the spiritual condition of the heart. Yah Bless
ALLLLLLLLLLLLL OF THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS! I lost 65 pounds at one point but back to where I started and EVERYTHING he says is everything I feel. ALLLL OF THIS! Including listening to the enemy louder. I WOULD TRULY appreciate some prayer
Prayer will get us through.....and then just do what God is giving us the grace to do. LOL Joseph Prince said that our Spiritual hunger can affect us physically. It's true...after I have privet prayer in the morning or when I want to eat just thanking Him for everything and meditating on how blessed I am to still be alive and what not when all this tragedy I see on the news is mind blowing. I think that could be me. And thank God He kept me. I pray for them too.
I've been on a weight loss mission for 4 years.. i've lost 90lbs.. had a bad today & decided to get some jack in the box.. not even thinkin twice, 3 bites into my cheeseburger i came across this video ..through it away & started crying. #beautiful
I love the comments in Christian videos! No one mentions about how people look or put them down or fights about misspells or anything! It's all basically encouraging.
YESSSSSS!!!! Say that!!!! Praise be to god for giving you this word and for it to be heard by those who are going through similar situations.Thank you and be blessed
Shessh. This poem is powerful and convicting. It has been my challenge and encouragement on my weight loss journey! Karness, thank you for allowing God to use you in just a mighty way! A harvest awaits you!!
i like this poem it hit home, I'm not overweight but I am spiritually i know my change is going to come and it is today, because i have been holding myself back, I need to let go and let God. Keep doing what your doing and do give up
I've been watching these spoken word vids, and I love the variety of topics! There's truly one for everyone! *ok back to work* (someone should do one on procrastination smh)
Great message, especially because in the church we tend to ignore food addiction as a "sin" issue and downgrade it to a "heart struggle" or something like that. As if gluttony or laziness don't fall on the same scale as murder and sexual immorality. It's something I needed to be reminded of. Sin is sin, concern for humanity starts with the plank in my own eye, and my desire to carry His message well should be bigger than my pant size.
I loving the T-shirts..that's so honest and humble and brave and sacrificial...your putting your former achilles heel out there for everyone to see is allowing another to not feel alone but to understand that we can overcome....
I'm on my 4th week of my weight loss journey (many, many more to go) and this gave me the encouragement just as I was believing the lie 'I have always been fat, so I will always be fat' Every day I pray that God will help me make the right choices when it comes to what I eat, and that I only take it what my body needs this day. This video put a lot of stuff into perspective for me. Thanks again p4cm x
loooool notice there is not as many comments on this one as the last BUT it is so true, I came to that realization a couple of months ago, your body is the temple of the Lord it doesnt just mean sex, it means the whole nine yards and an extra yard just because. Come on people we got to get it together, i took this one to heart keep em coming! watch, watch, pass it on
Thank you so much! This is my week 3 of eating healthy and i was just about to the breaking point, thinking I couldn't do it any longer.... So thank you for reminding me that my body is a temple, and I need to prove that to God if i believe it! :D
Rocking dude..... keep preaching that word!!!!! mmmm So Good!!! Thank you P4CM for fostering a culture or conviction and not condemnation. Condemnation says you can't make and never will, conviction is just enough pinch to make the encouragement sink in... :) Thank you.
How many people will watch this, and pretend that it didn't affect how they feel? Don't fool yourself, Get in shape, and treat your one and only body God has given you.
“.....Fast food is making me feel like a box of Dunkin Donuts every time I HOP in and out of Burger Kingdom because gluttony was a Dairy Queen that gave me a Hardy with a Hooters and I couldn’t Rally to Checkers because Chick Filled a Void of where my Adams Apple Bee until one day God showed me that my body was a Golden Coral not a Pizza Hut but I, was a Church’s Chicken!” -lol
I needed to hear this so bad. I have been praying about the gluttonous spirit I have allowed to live in me for so long. Lately I have been feeling so convicted and praying for a way out. I would joke about trying to quit (overeating because I like the taste of something) but I knew this behavior was wrong. Convicting people of their sins and not taking the speck out of my own eye. I THANK GOD, that I hear this tonight, THANK YOU FATHER. I rebuke this spirit in The Name of Jesus!!!
WOW!!!! This poet really spoke to my spirit. Everything he said I have been feeling for a while now. This was just conformation of GOD speaking to me. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR. THIS IS FOR EVERYONE WHO IS STUGGLING WITH WEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you. I'm not over weight, but I need to work on being healthy. I eat pretty healthy most of the time, but I am lack when it comes to exercise. Being the survivor of breast cancer twice I know better. My Dr. constantly tells me to exercise. And as a Christian I know my body is His temple. Thank you for the motivation to get up from in front of the computer, the TV. the video games and get in gear. I'm on my way to building up my temple so Christ will be proud to reside within me.
I needed to hear this... its time to lose weight! I feel bad but I thank Jesus for conviction!!! give me the will power Lord Jesus to say no to over eating!!!!
WOW ..... well I know I will lose this extra weight in a month ...... THANKS KARNESS and P4CM !!!!!!! - You have BLESSED ME GREATLY IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR !!!
@satasaba You still need to eat in moderation because the excess sugar in the chocolate with be converted to fat causing you to gain weight or even if you don't it can still clog your arteries. And chocolate being filled with simply sugars can cause damage to your arteries. But because you run (excercise) the size of your blood vessels might be bigger than the average person so you may not be able to tolerate more sugar etc..but you have to make sure you are having balanced meals.
Not to discredit this poem, but I'm hungry after watching/listening to this.& not cuz I'm weak, but because I haven't had anything to eat in like 5-6 hours & I can smell my mother cooking steak. Other than that, I love this piece. "I was Church's Chicken" was a sick line.
WOW! even though his rhyming scheme didnt always hit the head with a hammer wit a BOOM... its understandable... it was a hard topic to rhyme about. but i loved the message! i think tht point he was trying to make was tht there are other ways tht one doesnt treat their body God gave them as a temple...ppl usually just think its by sexual imorrality but its not... also it was like he had a whole in him tht he "couldnt fill" so he looked to food and not God. very well said, karness, very well said.
