The Soul Detox on the Whole Health Club has been so amazing that I did it again the next week with a friend. I was refreshed each morning to get up and confess the word of God out-loud and proclaim His promises. Saying the verses three times allowed me to meditate on the word and really “get it in my soul”. I had such a peaceful week as I put the word of God first each day and confessed scripture out-loud. The study started by praying the “Abiding in His Love Prayer”, then the three Faith Strengthener prayers for that day, the Joy of the Lord after each Faith Strengthener, reading the “Against All Hope Stories” and reciting the prayers that went with each story. This inspired study helped me confess who I am in Christ and believe God’s promises for my life. Reading the “Against All Hope Stories” made my problems seem very small compared to what God has done in the lives of the people in these stories. These confessions helped me know more Scripture and I am now praying those Scriptures when I come before the Lord in prayer. Each prayer conformed my thoughts to God’s will and His ways according to His word, rather than just praying with a laundry list of problems I wanted God to fix. I will definitely be doing the Soul Detox several more times in the future. God’s word is alive and active, I will certainly be speaking these life giving words of Scripture into my family. May the Joy of the Lord be our strength!
