Welcome to Spiritually Fit and a lifetime of enjoying the benefits of meditating on God’s word! God has promised to prosper the lives of those who meditate upon His word! Spiritually Fit is a revolutionary system that incorporates the use of a personal trainer to help you not only memorize scripture, but to take it to the next level and actually meditate upon those scriptures you have memorized, with the intent of incorporating them into your everyday life.
With Spiritually Fit you will systematically memorize and meditate upon more scriptures than you thought possible. The Spiritually Fit system will enable you to memorize hundreds of verses and recall each of them instantly by chapter and verse and topic. You’ll receive a comprehensive memorization plan, specially designed calendar chart to track your progress, and 11 sessions of detailed instructions, tips, insights and memorization tools per DVD to help you become Spiritually Fit! Your personal trainer, Pastor Gene LaValley, will keep you engaged and focused every step of the way, and you won’t believe your results. Bodily exercise is fine, but exercising yourself unto Godliness helps in every way in this life and the one to come. (1 Tim 4:8)
The “secret” behind the Spiritually Fit system is the daily, verbal, repetition of the verses coupled with the unique review system which causes the scriptures to go from short to long term memory. The benefits of Spiritually Fit are numerous and incalculable – but most importantly, you saturate your mind with the Word of God, and you develop the critical ability to take charge of your own thought life and direct and focus your mind on what you and God want it focused upon, His Word! In doing so you position yourself to receive the blessing of God on all those who make His law their delight and meditate on it both day and night! (Ps 1:2)
Spiritually Fit Memorization Guide
The first thing to understand is that the goal of the Spiritually Fit is not to “merely memorize scripture”, although this is a worthwhile goal. The goal is to draw closer to God and grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18) . Our goal is to also grow in faith and understanding of God by actually doing what the scriptures say (John 7:17). In other words, to not just be a “hearer” of the word but a “doer” of the word. (James 1:22) The goal of Spiritually Fit is to become a more Godly individual.
The Spiritually Fit system is a means to an end. We memorize the word of God as step one of a three step process. Step two is to meditate upon the word that we have hidden within our hearts and minds. Step three is to allow His word to guide our everyday lives, actions, decisions and lifestyles, thus drawing closer to Him. Someone has said that memorization without meditation is merely information and that meditation without obedience is like chewing without swallowing. In order to get the full benefit of God’s word (which is a closer walk with Him) we must have the input of His word, the processing of His word within us and the actual application of His word in our everyday lives. This is where and when the blessing of God comes!
Many believers want to memorize the Word of God and many make many valiant attempts to do so. But, too often it is much like dieting, it only lasts for so long and then it’s back to the old ways. There are several reasons for this, first, we usually follow the path of least resistance, and we lose motivation fairly rapidly. Secondly, we go the road alone, because it ishard to find someone else who is interested and if we do, they are usually on different schedules and have different memorization abilities.
