This has been a truly transformational Be Still Challenge….sacrifice costs us something, but God promises it will be worth it. ♻️ • @yogafaith Day 24 – Be Still Challenge Michelle Thielen Meditation: Romans 12:2 The Message (MSG) Posture: Reclining Hero (Supta Virasana) Place Your Life Before God So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. #yogafaith #bestillchallenge2023 #danielfast2023 #ChrsitianYoga #jesusfirstyogasecondtravelthird Share or post your own to win giveaway!

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? 8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. “If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, 10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.

Jan 23 // Day 23 – Be Still Challenge Alexa Boldt Meditation: Posture: Son Salutation B (Surya Namaskar B) Jesus, the Son of God, washes sins clean with His abundant grace. His grace is like a waterfall and allows our hearts to be glad and our bodies to live with hope. He fills us with joy by His presence. Align yourself with Him; position yourself under His waterfall of grace. |Acts 2:24-28 NIV| But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. David said about him, “I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore, my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. You have made known to me that paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence. Heavenly Father, whatever it looks like, whatever may come, I am yours. Jesus, crash over me, take me where you want me to be. Stretch me and mold me. Place me under the waterfall of your grace. Let me be beautifully in over my head in your love. https://yogafaith.org/be-still-challenge/ #yogafaith #bestillchallenge2023 #danielfast2023 (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnu9psDyJpC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 22 – Be Still Challenge Michelle Thielen Meditation: Isaiah 54 Posture: Warrior III (Virabhadrasana III) Isaiah 54 The Message (MSG) Spread Out! Think Big! “Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby. Fill the air with song, you who’ve never experienced childbirth! You’re ending up with far more children than all those childbearing women.” God says so! “Clear lots of ground for your tents! Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big! Use plenty of rope, drive the tent pegs deep. You’re going to need lots of elbow room for your growing family. You’re going to take over whole nations. you’re going to resettle abandoned cities. Don’t be afraid—you’re not going to be embarrassed. Don’t hold back—you’re not going to come up short. You’ll forget all about the humiliations of your youth, and the indignity of being a widow will fade from memory. For your Maker is your bridegroom, his name, God-of-the-Angel-Armies! Your Redeemer is The Holy of Israel, known as God of the whole earth. You were like an abandoned wife, devastated with grief, and God welcomed you back, Like a woman married young and then left,” says your God. 7-8 Your Redeemer God says: “I left you, but only for a moment. Now, with enormous compassion, I’m bringing you back. In an outburst of anger, I turned my back on you— but only for a moment. It’s with lasting love that I’m tenderly caring for you. 9-10 “This exile is just like the days of Noah for me: I promised then that the waters of Noah would never again flood the earth. I’m promising now no more anger, no more dressing you down. For even if the mountains walk away and the hills fall to pieces, My love won’t walk away from you, my covenant commitment of peace won’t fall apart.” The God who has compassion on you says so. 11-17 “Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied: I’m about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise, Lay your foundations with sapphires, construct your towers with rubies, Your gates with jewels, and all your walls with precious stones. All your children will have God for their teacher… #yogafaith #bestillchallenge2023 #danielfast2023 @michelle.thielen (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnstyDtpdcE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 20 // Jan 20 Meditation: Promise of the Gospel Posture: Dancer Through your life you might have heard or sung the song “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the bible tells me so…”. Jesus loves you. He loved you before you were born, as you were a young child, and as you grew older. Jesus loves you now. Breath into this wonderful, amazing truth. Stand firm into and ground into your foundational leg in Dancer pose. Breath in the fact “Jesus loves me.” Feel all four corners of your foot in the ground, your body strong and firm. Arms stretching in opposite directions, front palm active and reaching forward toward all that God has for you! Lift your heart and head high, neck relaxed and tall. The energy of Christ is in you, around you, and in love with you! I challenge you not to think that simple songs are too young for you. Or that it is no longer true now that you are a grown-up with things you might not be proud of. The song is still relevant. “Jesus loves me this I know. For the Bible tells me so…”. It doesn’t get any better than that. But maybe it does. Even if you don’t memorize scripture, it is possible that you know John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Wow. Breathe that in. Say it aloud. Again. And once more. Yes, not only does Jesus love you in an incomprehensible, but eternal way also; He died for you. Suffered to take away your sins. Allowing you to have everlasting life with him. Breath in that reality. Stand firm and immovable in your Dancer, feel His grace surround you, dance in it. Jesus loves me this I know! It might make you smile and laugh aloud at how wonderful this is. And maybe at the same time cry with joy. This is all good. John 3:16. Challenge yourself to never let this passage feel ‘overused’ or dull — it is His promise! Jesus loves you! “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” That promise can move Mountains. Stand tall. Firm. And be still with God as you embody His promise. #bestillchallenge2023 #DanielFast2023 #yogafaith (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnnXIxtvA0L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When we fast, we are affectively going on a hunger strike against hell to say, “Loose those who are bound by deception, lies, alcohol, drugs, pornography, false religion, etc. etc.!” #bestillchallenge2023 #DanielFast2023 #YOGAFAITH https://yogafaith.org/be-still-challenge/ (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnmv7Iiv5PD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today, if we have lost anything in this country, we have lost the right way. Fasting has disappeared from being a regular Christian discipline. Today, our little ones are exposed to every kind of perversion and danger. Who is fasting for the protection of our little ones in this age and our future generations? Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
    No, they have no shame at all;
    they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
    they will be brought down when I punish them,”
says the Lord. Jeremiah 6:16, NIV #bestillchallenge2023 #DanielFast2023 #YOGAFAITH (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkEXHgpqm-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 17 – Be Still Challenge Michelle Thielen Meditation: Backbends Posture: Cobra (Bhujangasana) BACK BENDS If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to Him in prayer! Job 11:13 Throughout the Bible we see the importance of our prayer postures. Prone or prostate postures are shown as an urgent cry or plead to the Lord out of desperation. Bowing down on the knees, we read this as an act of humility and surrender. Standing prayers are seen as praise and worship, giving thanks to the Lord. Back bends will not only be a posture of praise and worship, but they are also an incredible way to lift your heart and soul to the Lord. Most prone postures are back bends, so you may use these postures for a plea to the Lord as well as an offering of praise. To you, Lord, I have lifted up my soul. Psalm 25:1 Do you ever wake up in the morning feeling so grateful just to be alive? Does your heart get overwhelmed at the many blessings that you have? Maybe it is as simple as the breath in your body. You know some no longer have this simple pleasure. Perhaps it is as simple as having a car that gets you from point “A” to point “B”. Some days, I wake up and simply want to thank the Lord for waking me up. A standing back bend can help us to pause, stand firm, lift our heart, and praise our Heavenly Father. Because these poses come from leg strength, the bottom half of your body must be completely engaged for a successful back bend. As we talked about in the Standing Postures, you have to root down in the feet, be strong in the Lord, then you can rise up and lift your heart towards the heavens. It was strong and beautiful, with wide-spreading branches, for its roots went deep into abundant water. Ez 31:7 NLT Like twists, back bend postures can be incorporated into many postures such as seated, standing, balancing, prone or supine poses. The nervous, digestive, and metabolic systems are all stimulated in back bend postures. They are known to be rejuvenating and …see YogaFaith.org #bestillchallenge2023 #DanielFast2023 #YOGAFAITH (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/CngHw24L3Ac/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 16 – Be Still Challenge Andrea Larson Meditation: Fruit of the Spirit Posture: Knees to Chest | Wind Relieving Pose (Pawanmuktasana) “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law” Gal 5:22-23 “Against such things there is no law”. There is no limit to the extent man can experience from Him or express towards others the fruit of the Spirit. Notice that it does not read FRUITS (plural). All of these amazing gifts are the embodiment of the Spirit of Christ who is in each of us. We are the living temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are such precious gifts to Him. We don’t have to settle for just peace or for just love. We can partake of them all. In a hurting world where tragedy and monstrosities are occurring moment by moment, what better opportunity do we have to show them who He is by our words and actions that are orchestrated by His guidance? Don’t you know that it is the goodness of Him that leads people to repentance? (Rom 2:4) Repentance is not a physical action like most people assume. Biblically it is the word Metanoeo, meaning “to change one’s mind for the better”. This implication refers to man believing that God is good, that He is for them, not against them, and that they rely on the finished work of the cross. Let us receive from Him fully so that from the overflow of our hearts we may show the world a better view of who He is and how much He cares for each one of us regardless of color, creed, gender, circumstance, political views and so on. He does not wish for anyone to perish, He desires only that they know Him. (2 Peter 3:9). Father, thank you for the countless gifts you bless us with including the little things we take for granted. I know you are for me and not against me. You desire for me to know you intimately and prosper me abundantly. Help me to show those in my sphere of influence the Grace and mercy that is Jesus so their minds may be fixed on You for the better. In Jesus Name. #bestillchallenge2023 #DanielFast2023 #YOGAFAITH (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/CndRbYtJvHj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

God heard your prayer the first day! Daniel 10: When I received this vision, I, Daniel, had been in mourning for three weeks. 3 I had eaten very little, no meat and no rich foods at all. I had not enjoyed the taste of wine, nor had I used any oils to bathe or groom myself. I continued this way throughout the three full weeks. 4 The vision came to me on the 24th day of the 1st month. As I was on the bank of the great Tigris River, 5 I lifted my eyes and saw what seemed at first to be a man dressed in linen clothing. Around his waist was a belt made of the purest gold. 6 His body had the appearance of yellow topaz; his face was bright like flashes of lightning; his eyes flamed like torches; his arms and legs sparkled like polished bronze; his voice sounded like thunder. 7 I, Daniel, alone saw this man and heard his voice. Though there were others around me who did not see this sight, they were still overcome with fear and ran to hide. I did not. 8 I was left all alone to witness this glorious sight. My strength soon left me. My face was drained of its natural color, and I was confused. I had no energy at all. 9 Then I heard his voice and caught the sound of his words. As I did, I fell into a deep sleep—my face pressed to the ground. 10 Just then, a mighty hand touched me and lifted my trembling body onto my hands and knees. Messenger: 11 Daniel, you are highly regarded by God. I have been sent to help you understand the destiny of your people. Stand up and listen carefully to what I have to tell you. As he spoke, I slowly rose to my feet, though I was still shaking. Messenger: 12 Do not be afraid, Daniel. From the very first day that you began to pursue understanding and humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard. I have been sent in response to what you’ve said. #bestillchallenge2023 #DanielFast2023 #YOGAFAITH #jesusfirstyogasecond #christianyoga (at YOGA FAITH) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cncggs5vi5Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
