From the PraiseMoves DVD:

 

 

 

Marlene, Nate, Laurette, Avis and Mary in a variation of the Prayer Warrior posture (“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” James 5:16).   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marlene performs Peter’s Boat (intermediate) and Nate presents the advanced Peter’s Boat posture (scripture: After Jesus spoke to the crowd from Peter’s boat, He said to Peter “Go out where it is deeper and let down our nets, and you will catch many fish” Luke 5:4 NLT).

 

See Nate in the background? Yes! “Real Men Do PraiseMoves!!!”

 

 

 

 

 

We begin our PraiseMoves session with Prayer:

 

“Heavenly Father, we thank You for the opportunity to come together today to exercise the bodies You have given us to care for.  Lord, Your Word says our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.  We choose to take good care of our bodies so we can be healthy and strong and full of energy to serve You better, and be a blessing to our family, our friends and the people You bring into our lives.  We offer this time of exercise today, Lord, as a seed of discipline for our flesh, and as a time to draw closer to You as we meditate upon Your holy Word.  Thank You, Lord for this opportunity to praise You as we move to greater levels of flexibility, strength and health.  And for all the good that comes from this, we’ll be careful to give You all the praise and the glory for it.  In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen.”

   

 

Walkin’ Wisdom Warm-ups!

Grrreat Music too!

 

After the Introduction, Correct Breathing and Posture sections, are Walkin’ Wisdom Warm-ups. For 14 minutes, we walk, step, kick, strut and “Jericho March” to lively music (beautiful hymns revved-up with contemporary Christian flair by awesome Praise & Worship leader Jason French!). 

 

At the same time we’re repeating Scriptural Affirmations such as:

 

“I’m strong in the Lord – and the power of His might!”

(from Ephesians 6:10)

 

“I can do all things – through Christ who strengthens me!” 

(from Philippians 4:13)

 

We also “put on the whole armor of God.”

(from Ephesians 6:13-17)!

 

During Walkin’ Wisdom Warm-ups we’re warming up our bodies, elevating the heart rate a bit, and preparing our muscles to be stretched and strengthened during the PraiseMoves postures which follow.

 

It’s 2 Workouts in 1!

 

Complete 60 min. Workout

PLUS 20-min. Workout!

Comes with 16-page booklet describing postures.

Part Three:

 

µ        Care to Share…?  This third part of the video is totally optional.  You may use it as a part of PraiseMoves Ministry’s “Friendship Evangelism Program.”

 

Picture this: You invite a friend or neighbor to your house for a “Fun Alternative to Yoga” (perhaps you’ve been sharing your faith with her – maybe she’s expressed an interest in yoga – maybe she said she needs to lose some weight, but hates exercise…)

 

µ        Before your friend arrives, pray and ask the Lord to guide you and give you the words to say.  Hopefully you’ve asked other Christian friends to be in prayer with you for your friend. 

 

µ        You have the DVD already cued up to the Prayer just before the 20-minute workout. 

 

µ        Briefly mention any physical benefits you’ve noticed since you started doing the PraiseMoves workout. 

 

µ        Let her know the workout has some cool affirmations in it you’ve been doing, and mention benefits you’ve experienced (less stressed-out, more peaceful, more patient with your kids, boss, etc.).   Relate it to benefits she may be interested in.  We don’t want to “scare” her by getting overly religious here or using “Christian-isms” (words she may not understand).  I remember how, as a non-believer, I avoided well-meaning Christians who beat me over the head with Bible words and phrases I didn’t understand.  They gave me “the creeps!”

 

µ        Do the 20-minute PraiseMoves workout together – then keep the DVD rolling…

 

µ        After the 20-minute workout, I briefly share some Bible-based information on how one can “know-that-you-know” Christ personally (from Romans 10:9-10 – “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”).

 

µ        This is followed by an Invitation receive the Lord as Savior, or rededicate one’s life to the Lord.  All salvation means is being made whole – to be complete as God created us to be. In fact, if you feel a tug at your heart right now, I invite you to pray this prayer along with me:

“Heavenly Father, I believe You love me.  I believe Jesus died for me and rose from the dead.  Today I confess Jesus as my Lord and receive forgiveness from You for everything I’ve done wrong.  Jesus, please come into my heart and give me a new start in life.  Thank You for saving me and making me whole, in Jesus’ name.  Amen.”

 

µ        If YOU pray this prayer aloud - and mean it - when you’re with your friend, there’s a good possibility that she’ll pray it aloud (and mean it), too.

 

µ        Invite your friend to church with you.  Begin to “disciple her” by holding a Bible study in your home.  Or, if you’re a new Christian yourself, have a more experienced Christian with you for the PraiseMoves class, or available by phone to answer questions for your friend.  Don’t just lead her to the Lord and leave her hanging!  Follow-up with her and let her know you care.

 

µ        Here’s an idea:  Why not hold a once-a-week PraiseMoves/Bible Study in your home or at church?  Follow one of the PraiseMoves sessions on the DVD, then a chapter from BASIC Steps to Godly Fitness (see Store) a Bible study by Beth Moore, Henry Blackaby, Donna Partow, Joyce Meyer, Bruce Wilkinson – or any good Bible study teacher (ask your pastor or a seasoned Christian you admire, or ask your local Christian bookseller to recommend one). 

 

µ        Just follow the Bible study book and the Bible, stay connected to a good Bible-believing church, pray daily – then keep praising the Lord…and PraiseMovin’!!!
