My name is Michelle Wright from Cortland, NY. Through the Weigh Down workshop, I have found a true relationship with God! As a result I have been able to stop binge and purge habits, end excessive exercise, and come down to a weight that is actually less than I was when I got married - even after having seven children!
Before Weigh Down, I had a very spoiled nature. I had become very unhappy with my life because I wanted more than what God had already given me. Once I learned about True Christianity through these powerful Bible studies, I became full of TRUE JOY for the first time in my life. My marriage is so sweet now because I HAVE CHANGED (Repentance) and I have stopped expecting every thing and everyone around me to change. My religious background was originally Roman Catholic. At the age of 13, I was introduced to evangelical Christianity through a non-denominational church. Over the years I have been a part of Pentecostal churches, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Deliverance ministries and home churches.
Never in any of those institutions was I taught how to stop sinning! In fact, I witnessed baptisms where the participant was encouraged to admit that they would never be able to stop sinning. I was a prisoner to my sin and no leader or member could tell me how to be free, because they were prisoners of sin too. I thank God for Gwen Shamblin, her family, Remnant Fellowship leaders and all those who are living the life that Jesus Christ called us to live. II Corinthians 3:7-11 "Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters of stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!"
