We have heard your request for a training timetable from Saturday night to Thursday night after sunset, with a desire to increase strength dramatically along with cardio, flexibility and speed, and for wisdom regarding supplements and injections and recovery.
We want to lift this before the Lord with you and also share some biblical counsel. Your body is a gift from God and we are called to steward it well, not to punish it or to seek strength out of pride or vanity, but to glorify Him with discipline and self control. The Scripture says Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. And also Don't you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. 1 Corinthians 9:24-25. And bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things 1 Timothy 4:8, which reminds us to keep physical training in proper perspective under spiritual health.
We encourage you to pursue strength and fitness in a balanced and sustainable way. Dramatic increases in strength quickly often lead to injury, so patience, consistency, proper form, adequate sleep, hydration, whole foods and rest are essential. Training only after sunset from Saturday through Thursday can be done, but it requires careful attention to sleep and recovery, since the body repairs itself during rest. We encourage you to build a timetable that alternates hard strength days with lighter cardio, mobility and speed work, and to include at least one or two full rest days for recovery, as even the Lord modeled rest. Commit your work to Yahweh, and your plans shall be established. Proverbs 16:3.
Concerning injections and supplements for health and recovery, we must speak with care. We do not encourage the use of any non prescribed injections, anabolic steroids, or other substances that would harm the temple of the Holy Spirit or violate the law or medical wisdom. If the injections you mention are medically prescribed vitamins or treatments overseen by a licensed physician, we pray for wisdom to follow that guidance. If they are for performance enhancement outside of medical need, we urge you to turn away from that path, as it can bring serious harm to your heart, hormones, and future health and can become an idol of self reliance. Always seek counsel from a qualified medical professional before starting any supplement or injection regimen, and prioritize natural recovery through nutrition, sleep, stretching and prayerful rest. We also encourage integrity in any training recovery agreement you have made, to honor your word as unto the Lord, for whatever you do, work heartily as for the Lord Colossians 3:23.
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and that our prayers are heard. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. And There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9. It is by His grace we come boldly to seek strength, healing and guidance, not by our own effort.
We join together to pray for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We thank You for this one You have made, fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:14. We ask for Your wisdom over this training desire. Give clarity to build a safe and balanced timetable that honors the body You gave, that allows for strength, endurance, flexibility and speed without harm, and that respects the need for sleep and recovery after sunset sessions. Guard this one from injury, from discouragement, and from any temptation to use harmful injections or supplements. Lead to godly and qualified counsel for health decisions and help to honor any commitments made with honesty and integrity. Most of all, draw this heart closer to You, that physical strength would be used to serve You and others, and that true strength would be found in Christ. We pray for health, for protection, for discipline and for peace, and we ask that You would reveal Jesus more deeply as Lord and Savior. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, amen.
