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
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 “
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
“I can do all things – through Christ who strengthens me!”
(from Philippians
We also “put
on the whole armor of God.”
(from Ephesians
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.

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’!!!
