HI. This bulletin board is sponsored by GodSpeak International (www.godspeak.net), and it is dedicated to those actively trying to put some aspect of their life under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
The main emphasis of this forum (at least as we get started) will be on putting some aspect of our diets, fitness or general health under His lordship. It may "evolve'" to cover other areas as we grow. Let me share a little about how this board is organized so that you can easily find your way around it.
There are 3 main categories (or sections). Each section has 1 or more boards on it.
ADMIN COMMUNICATION:
The first category is for Admin announcements (like this one). These posts can be read by everyone, but only the admins can make posts here. This will be reserved for important announcements and general information, and there shouldn't be a lot of posts here.
GREETINGS AND FELLOWSHIP:
The second category is intended as a "safe" place for us to get to know each other. Only those who are registered members of His-Lordship and read the things posted here, which makes it a bit more private and "safer" to share with each other. (This section is "invisible" to visitors.)
There are two boards under this category. The first one is "Introductions." It is intended as a place for "new" folks to introduce themselves, so we can get to know each other. Feel free to share as much (or as little) as you desire in your introduction. Other people will probably post comments to welcome you.
The other board is called "Fellowship" and it is for people to be able to talk to each other and communicate. I do require that all communication on this board be friendly, supportive, encouraging and helpful. Rudeness, insults, put-downs, etc will not be tolerated. The goal is to build a supportive/loving community as we all learn to walk out His lordship in this area of our lives.
HIS LORDSHIP IN OUR EATING AND FITNESS:
This category is a "public" board. Only members can post here, but non-members can read them. (Don't worry, your identity is protected...they will only know the screen name you register with, and not your real name or email address.) This category is the "nuts and bolts" section to deal with the practical issues of putting an area of our life under His lordship. Since our focus is primarily on our eating, fitness and general healthy, the boards reflect this. They are organized as follows:
*Spiritual Aspects (includes both our relationship with God and also breaking enemy strongholds over us)
* Emotional Aspects (our feelings and struggles as we endeavor to make Jesus Lord of our eating/fitness/health)
* Diet And Nutrition (practical eating strategies, nutrition information, favorite recipes, etc)
* Fitness And Working Out (self explanatory)
* Testimonies (a place to share your stories and victories and to inspire others. This does NOT have to be limited to eating/fitness/health. If God gives you a major breakthrough or miracle in some other area of your life, please feel free to share it with us.)
* Prayer Requests (this is for sharing our prayer requests and praise reports)
* Other (for everything else).
Other Information
This is an "evolving site" that is comprised of a GodSpeak email list, this bulletin board, a chat-room and a few helpful articles on the GodSpeak web page. I hope to eventually have some regular lessons and teachings as well, as I do on the other GodSpeak schools.
I have not "arrived" at the final destination yet myself, I am still in route and I am actively learning what it means to give Jesus Christ lordship over my eating, my fitness and my general health. I am inviting you to go with me on this journey. You may be further ahead than I am, and if so, I will look forward to insights you have to share. Or you may not be as far along, in which case I hope that my experiences and discoveries can help you as well.
This board is intended as a community, where we all share insights, encourage each other and help each other to move toward our goal. It is not about the experiences or insights of just one person, but is a place of community and group support. Hopefully someone here (and probably more than one someone) will have a helpful answer to your questions, and you may have insights and answers to questions that others ask.
Our stated goal is: To learn together what it means to give Jesus Lordship in this area of our life, and to support/encourage/assist each other in walking that out in our day-to-day lives.
My prayer is that each of us will learn what it means to truly give Him Lordship in every area of our lives, including our diet, health and fitness. I pray He will strengthen you and make you successful in your journey. - teresa
