@Justin Gary do you got it Exodus along okay let me tell you something The Exodus people Jewish people wasn't black if you go to Jewish country now those people are black. Okay and we live by grace alone and faith alone. It feeds into a tonight was saved by grace not of works it's a free gift from God that no one can boast!. What was saved by God he give us his grace freely. Will you coming up with slavery will not sleep okay the servants. We choose to follow God it's our free will but we don't have to but we choose to. I think you need to stop cherry picking the Bible because in the Book of Revelation you cannot add or take away scripture cuz your name will be blotted out of the Book of Life. But there is no black there is no race in heaven everybody is in one waist there's no blacks It Snow White there's some bucks to get to know Jews is All One race. That's a truth and that is the fact. When I go to heaven I want to see black people I won't see Mexican I want to see Jewish people We Are All One. I think you really need to sit down with the Bible and study it for yourself because there's no black and white in heaven there's none of that. When I even atheists like you in Genesis 1:1 in the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth. John 1:1 says in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God he was God in the very beginning. You willing to pick up your the Bible and read it for yourself

@Justin Gary and Justin let me tell you something God hates religion how many times did God slap the Pharisees in their faces doing Miracles after Miracles he told them no John 14:16 I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me!. Religion and works are dead to the Lord Jesus Christ he wants a personal relationship with him and him alone. No religion.

As always, Brother Allen is right about everything he said! ❤️💪🙏👍 MY “O.M.A.D” DIET (One Meal A Day) I’m 64, white male, retired, in good health. With this structured fasting/feeding, I’m losing 6-7 lbs. per month. Closing in on my target BMI for my height. And yes, I do have approval from my doctor. WEEKDAYS: INTERMITTENT FASTING: 20/2 (6-8pm) WEEKENDS: PROLONGED FASTING: 40 HRS (Fri. 8pm - Sun. 12pm) Start with this progression: 1. Skip breakfast first. Then, after a week or so, 2. Skip both breakfast & lunch. Progressively: 16/8 first week 18/6 second week 20/4 third week 22/2 fourth week Ketosis, Autophagy, whatever. It works. And it becomes easier with time. And you don’t need to pay some random “doctor” on the internet for a magic pill, powder, snake oil, or whatever. Steven Gundry actually admitted this toward the end of one of his “pitch videos”. That if you eat right and fast effectively, you don’t need his stuff. Now I’ve learned much from these very helpful experts-I’m not putting them down. And I’m not saying their stuff is harmful or doesn’t do as advertised. But most of the stuff for sale on YT, etc. is just to allegedly make it EASIER for you to lose weight. But with fasting and proper eating, you CAN do it yourself! But then, I’m just another random guy on the internet. Except I don’t have anything to sell. Good Luck! 💪 ------

I ask because I am literally in tears right now not knowing which way to go and thought, the times I felt better and saw results were when I Daniels fasted, ate low carb/keto and intermittent fasting (separately)and was like, maybe I should incorporate a little of all 3. I just feel more nutritionally balanced when I Daniels fast but not sure if using it as a meal guide is the way for me. Just wanted to hear your experiences! 😊

[@dpbeardslee]

Congratulations! Sounds like you've been doing keto. I've been on a keto diet since October and have lost 25 pounds so far - and I'm 62 years old. But it didn't start with determination - it started with prayer. First I prayed for repentance and sanctification, and I was able to repent from some very old sins. It seemed like that helped greatly in my relationship with God, and I asked him to help me to eat properly and to become more healthy. The Bible says the body is a temple, and my temple was in pretty bad shape. I felt led to the ketogenic diet and proper exercise, and today the temple is undergoing some pretty drastic renovation. So, while I agree with what you had to say in your video, I think we should always remember that all good things are gifts from God, and the starting point for any good work is to ask His help.

The main thing that stops anyone from sanctification is obedience (lack thereof). We ask God to help us, then in the moment we don’t listen to His voice telling us that plate is too big, or not to eat the cake this time. God is speaking, but our ears grow tired of listening. I pray for Him to strengthen me and to help me obey. I’ll pray for those watching this video as well. God bless you on your journey Allen, and may He continue to use you to help others.

I am also struggling with my weight. I had a pre-diabetes diagnosis. That was my motivation I did very well with Keto at first I had lost 60 lbs but it gradually started coming back, 20 lbs to be exact. I just caved in to temptation and started eating everything I shouldn't. My husband thinks he is being loving when he brings some of the temptations in the house and I became weaker and weaker. This video gave me the resolve to try again over and above the temptation. Please pray for and with me...thank you!!!🙏🏾❤

Both myself and my husband started a no sugar, plant based diet 60 days ago and both of us have lost weight, sleep better, exercise regularly, have more energy than ever and we feel amazing.

This diet saved my life years ago. I cannot even begin to tell how much. However, It was not sustainable long term for me, since I was nursing and then became a body builder.

I consider being plant based, an amazing detox of sorts, but not sustainable long term, for most people. I love hearing successes like yours though, I totally relate!!🙌🏻💗

I think he lost 35 lbs in 90 days because he was plant-based dieting. Vegetables suppress appetite. I've done it many times myself and am doing it right now. It's like a miracle diet. I know the secret. Eat a bowl of vegetables 1st meal of the day and you will feel a suppressed appetite, appetite control, and energy. And the weight comes off. I could not do it any other way. And I'm not saying vegan or vegetarian. I put tuna, egg, or salmon, avocados, olives, ... on my salads. Some vegetables are frozen and steamed... Some of my salads have weighed 2.5 lbs and I still lose weight. Check out Natural Weight Loss Mastery by Ryan Adams.

Love and appreciate this video brother. Last year I had to accept I was very over weight and tired of it. My husband has always been fit and I would think to myself, it's not fair he does his best to be fit for me and for the Lord but I don't do the same for my husband and for God (on top of it I also started to feel unwell because of the state of my over weightness). I finally decided to change things in my life, and the things that kept me going is reminding myself every day that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of POWER, LOVE, and SELF CONTROL. I would remind myself, God says I am in charge of my flesh, my flesh does not have power over me but must submit to me through the power Jesus has given us. I simply started fasting completely a few days each week for my health, and on other days I would still enjoy food I liked but forced myself to eat very little of the bad stuff. What I found through my journey was amazingly more beautiful than weight loss, but I found myself stronger spiritually, more patient, more kind, because really what we practice when we discipline our body to lose weight is SELF CONTROL. And that is one of the most important things a Christian must have in their life. I weighed 190 lbs June 2021, and today I am at 143 lbs. My goal is to lose another 20 lbs more. When you follow the Lord, and read His word every day, everything in life fills you with joy and gratefulness and peace. Blessings!

This is awesome news Allen! I had a massive weight loss in my teenage years and it was motivated by the world and by bad mental health behavior, now my weight loss and weight maintenance revolves around appreciating everything I eat and making food from scratch.

Allen Great clip - I lost 22 kgs last year doing Barbell Strength Training and a calorie restricted diet and determination is so important I like how you said to get someone to be accountable to because I think a lot of people make the mistake of thinking they ought to be able to do it on their own even though I worked hard I could not have done it on my own God helped me, my psychologist helped me and my personal trainer helped me - they all taught me as well. I really like the scripture you used and how you broke it down - I am still working on my diet and working on not overeating, compulsively eating - I also really liked it when you said "make my body do what it doesn't feel like doing" Another vital component is staying in the Word of God and having scripture memory verses to be in your mind when you need strength knowiing scripture by heart helps you mentally in the moment - in the heat of the furnace of temptation or pressure or fear Philippians 4:13 ! Corinthians 10:31 There is beauty in the struggle and we can Rejoice for the struggle will make us stronger Doing concordance word studies on word(s) related to your struggle or what you want to change helps Hebrews 2:18 Jeremiah 15:16 Psalm 107:9 Mark 14:38 Romans 13:14 Galatians 5:16, 24-25 1 Cor,10:13 1 Peter 5:8-9 Matthew 4:4 Psalm 23:1 Psalm 119:103 proverbs 25:16 Romans 8:5-6 The best thing about your clip is it directed my mind on to God and His Word Stay strong and keep building yourself up on your most sacred faith (Jude 20)

1 Timothy 4:8 “for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” Pastor Allen, thank you for sharing this wonderful message!! 1 Timothy 4:8 was one that jumped-out at me when prioritizing physical health in my mid-40’s. Quickly, with God’s help, I was able to recognize how vanity had usurped my fitness endeavors…(my need to be noticed and affirmed was apparent). Getting my heart set upon Him for those real needs of security and identity were crucial. This C.S. Lewis quote almost couples pretty well with 1 Timothy 4:8 in this… “Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.” God will provide the strength we need in our weakness…spiritual, emotional, and physical.

@@nellosnook4454 Hi, when you intermittent fast and do OMAD do u eat normally for the one meal or do u have to try and eat a high amount of calories? I dont want to do it wrong and become sick. I am confused how to do the OMAD can you please give pointers, thx

[@nellosnook4454]

@@jengirl7571 Jen, one the great health benefits from structured fasting/feeding is that your body becomes “detoxified”. You don’t crave unhealthy foods-and you don’t need to count calories! You’ll lose the taste for bad foods and develop a taste for good, clean, healthy foods. Below is my general, categorical, diet structure. I’m 64, a single man, living alone, so I can eat what I want, when I want. And I also enjoy cooking. Mostly oven roast, Dutch oven, cast-iron cookware and steaming. I center my dinners around a different vegetable every meal. Vegetable, 1st. Animal protein, 2nd. Carbs, 3rd. Fruit 4th. (I love kiwis & berries) Variety in meal planning keeps it interesting. I LOVE seafood! (Salmon especially) I fill-in my protein with different chicken recipes. I don’t digest red meat particularly well, so I only eat it occasionally. I believe God has graciously provided us the simple means for spiritual, mental & physical health. Doing what we all should be doing anyway: Daily Bible study, prayer, fasting and eating the best foods from the bountiful Earth as He has given us. Let me know if you have any other questions, Jen! In Christ, Nello MY DIET STRATEGY: 1. Zero processed (no preservatives or added ingredients) 2. Minimal dairy (butter, yogurt, goat milk) 3. Minimal carbs (oatmeal, chickpea pasta, whole grains-no bread) 4. Moderate fruit (blueberries, strawberries kiwi, etc.) 5. Moderate legumes, nuts (all beans, walnuts, almonds, etc.) 6. Moderate eggs, wild caught salmon, seafood, fatty fish, breast-meat chicken, bison (occasionally). 7. Maximum plant-based (all greens, vegetables)

This was sooooooo needed, Mr. Parr! First, I did notice your weight loss and even commented about it on one of your videos! The transformation is definitely noticeable. Second, I needed to hear this video ...not only me...my ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD! If I'm honest, our greatest struggle is finance. We all make good money but we lack the discipline to save. ...well...that is until today! This literally opened my eyes! Thank you!!!!!

[@Jennifer.villezcas]

Just be careful to not make an Idol out of your appearance or weight (as it happened to me) I was so disciplined and then it turned into disorder eating and obsession.

Good point. Definitely gotta find a balance

[@ried1405]

Brother Allen thank you sooooo much for this video. First, I prayed to God to help me loose weight as I had horrible eating habits and was gaining weight at an astronomical speed. I then saw your video the first day it came out. Long story short, I called Coach JT, enrolled in the Empty Your Bucket transformation program and lost 30 lbs. I extended the program for an additional 6 weeks and I am now at my goal weight…40lbs down. I give all the glory to God…and I thank you for inspiring me to invest in my health and well being. Super big thanks to Coach JT and his Empty Your Bucket plan

I'm starting to fast jtomorrow for 7 days.... and today I'm laying out a specific schedule for each day including time for proper sleep and starting each day with quality time for worship/ prayer/ Bible study... i would greatly appreciate your prayers please.

You nailed it: my struggle all my life has been weight and overeating. This has especially been a serious issue for the last 20 years. I keep asking myself if not NOW, WHEN? I'm 51 years old, and it is SO past time to do this!!!

[@rootedinchristwithberiya]

I battle with overeating you are not alone meditate Roman’s 14 everyday we can overcome it in Jesus Name. Let God direct you In Jesus Name

[@Slacker_Elizabeth7702]

Our Lord truly DOES incline His ear to His people! Over the last couple of days, I literally have been seeking Christ on my poor self discipline and why it is I am not seeing the fruit of temperance in MY life when I’m definitely Holy Spirit filled. It’s bothering me so much because it is effecting several areas of my life but worse yet, lack of temperance is sin (anything that is not Christ like is ultimately sinful) and certainly leads to more sin. Proverbs 25:28 “a man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls”, the Holy Spirit literally spoke this verse - that I had never seen before in my spirit when I was seeking Him on the issue some time ago. I was praying and all of a sudden the words “city without walls” popped into my mind and I stopped praying and repeated it and asked the Lord if that was Him. I immediately googled the phrase exactly how I heard it and there it was. I was stunned. God is INCREDIBLE and REALLY DOES HEAR OUR PRAYERS!! Hallelujah!! Thank u for posting Allen, this is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Jesus Christ, the Anointed One, our Lord and King is faithful!! Glory be to our Redeemer and First Love! 💙🙏🏽

Hey Allen Parr , I have been really blessed by this video, so this video literally touches all areas of life , it's not just for the weight loss but for your spiritual life & for making it to heaven- we need to apply discipline. Let us have the discipline so that we may not actually end up being disqualified because it's so easy to be caught up in the whole process of helping others , forgetting yourself and forgetting to put you first /to discipline yourself. So thank you so much for this amazing video I hope everybody has picked up something from it.

Love this video about eating right and fitness. People have to eat food as a lifestyle and not a "diet". You have to continue to eat right. You can still eat what you like but everything in moderation.

[@amybethgill9762]

Where I'm feeling stuck: Am a single, practically vegan,, Yahweh respecting mama that does NOT smoke, drink, drug, swear, watch violence, fornicate. Sugar is my addiction that I battle. I am either real good about it or it's my dragon. I have been unemployed from the hospital lab due to vaccine mandate for 3 months now. I have gained 20 lbs due to relying on the quick pleasures of sugar around my pre/teens.

People that loose weight usually drive me nuts!! It's like everyone that goes on a diet has to become a life coach on Facebook and never shut up about it!!!😩😩😩 With that being said, I liked the way you choose to spin this video

[@lpl433]

So true but they're usually so extreme in that area it put's me off.

[@JanKrohn]

Much truth in this. Discipline is key. It's possible without a coach too. I lost 50 pounds in 90 days last year, after I rigorously stopped buying unhealthy food, and restricting myself to one plate per meal. Then after 90 days my weight started to stagnate, so I changed my strategy and started intermittent fasting, and lost another 15 pounds in the following 90 days. All I need to do now is lose another 35 pounds, and I'll be back to normal weight. It's been a spiritual journey indeed. I owe much to my best friend too who kept motivating and encouraging me.

[@eddieteddie5559]

Thanks for this, Allen! I feel like I've been stuck in wrong mindsets; mindsets telling me God is ready to punish me or give up on me for my sins. It's been tough but I think this is going to help! May His power be perfected in our weakness as we all run this race.

[@ampedhallway]

I am feeling stuck in the areas of self-esteem and medical issues. I left an abusive marriage, years ago, but have been dealing with the scars of rejection my whole life. With being diagnosed with thyroid issues, my weight has skyrocketed, and has become difficult to manage, even with medication. I’m glad I saw this video, today. I want to be married again and have more kids, but decided yesterday to give up on that dream. I have resolved to fast today to rid my mind of negative thoughts, but I also need to make better choices. I have to start caring about me, even when others don’t. I have work that I need to do for the Lord, and I have a daughter that I need to be a healthy example for. All prayers are welcome. Thank you!

Hi Mr. Parr. It does work. I tried the Daniel diet. I did it for about a week in a half. I noticed I lost 20 lbs is less than 2 wks! It was for spirit purposes ONLY. The rest is a bonus. I'm a very intelligent person but I have a disability that I really not ready to disclose at the moment. The thing about me is I love to stay busy since 19 y/o when myself because disabled. As of this video, I'm in my late 30s and I single. I just looking for just one women to be mines and vise-versa. I want to lose an additional 10 lbs. When I did it, I not even worrying about porn too much. I like the shadow boxing 🤣 and I know I a fighter NOT only for spiritual people but my mental health.

Good day brother Allen. Congratulations on the weight loss, I know that this was and still is no easy task. This video is so refreshing as apposed to the normal apologetics I listen to lol and I am so grateful that you decided to produce such great content. Thank you for taking out the time and effort to do so and may the Lord bless you, your family and ministry. I am about to embark on a great journey ministry wise and my health and weight has truly been an issue for me and has stopped me from fully committing to ministry as I feel lead to take over our youth ministry at my local church but was in doubt because of my weight and energy levels and hey...I can handle jokes but the youth can be cruel especially on the topic of weight lol but I'll sacrifice for the sake of Christ lol However, after watching this I am more determined than ever to make that lifestyle change and break the spirit of addiction and my body and mind's dependence/addiction to unhealthy eating habits. This is especially true in our 'black' congregations lol I pray that the spirit of addiction is broken and cast out and that the flesh is crucified and the mind renewed in the almighty, addiction breaking name of Jesus Christ our saviour. Blessings to all the saints and beloved all the way from Cape Town, South Africa
