Get Fit – Quick!

Have you ever lost in a race with a dead man? Nope! I hope. There’s no competition because he’s just not quick. He stinks and has no coach do you? If you’re gonna get fit it starts at the core. A tree that’s dead on the inside will not be beautiful on the outside for long. But if it’s quickened from the inside out then it can stand in adversity and bear fruit. The true core of man is the spirit and it’s only quick if it has the life of God within. Don’t try to live the abundant life with no source or supply. God Himself has offered to come and live within and He’s greater than all the health products and programs that have ever been. He will literally quicken every area of your life from the inside out. If you try to do it any other way it’s like decorating dead trees. And the Christmas tree does get a lot of attention but then it goes back in the box or to the mulch pile or to be burned. But the evergreen that’s alive and thriving is on top of the mountain. So if your goal is to get fit to get attention you might be able to do it but you won’t really live in the end. But if you want everlasting life then receive Jesus and be quickened by life of Almighty God within. He will send His Spirit to coach you and make you truly alive. Listen to and follow Him and if you’re really QUICK then you will be able to GET and STAY FIT in every area of life!

Rom 8:11
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
KJV

Eph 2:1-10
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
KJV

John 15:1-8
15 "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
