Summary
This episode explores what it truly means to belong to God and to live as vessels of His Spirit. Drawing from Paul’s words in Corinthians, the conversation centers on the profound truth that we are the temple of God and no longer our own. True freedom comes not from external circumstances but from yielding our will to His and allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell, renew, and govern our lives.
Through shared insights, the family veils how living as God’s possession breaks the bondage of the soul-flesh nature and brings us into freedom, love, and purpose. The episode emphasizes the power of relationships within the body of Christ, the necessity of prayer for one another, and the reality that no one stands alone—we stand because others uphold us. Communion, humility, and faith become the pathways into transformation and deeper oneness in His Spirit.
Show Notes
• We are God’s temple.
The Holy Spirit dwells in us, not as a theological idea but as a present, active reality.
• Submission brings freedom.
Yielding our will to His produces the peace, joy, and love that true freedom is made of. God is the potter—we are the clay.
• Freedom from the soul-flesh nature
“For freedom we have been set free.” We escape bondage only by the Spirit, never by self-effort.
• We belong to Him
Accepting ourselves as His possession removes fear, doubt, and striving. It frees us to serve His purposes without burden.
• The essential ministry of the body
No one stands alone. We are upheld by each other's prayers, love, and intercession. Every believer has a ministry of love and edification.
• Communion as transformation
We partake of His body and blood not as ritual, but with sincerity, inviting His nature into our present circumstances.
• Praying for one another
A many-membered body comes forth because each part ministers in love, purity, and covering.

Takeaway
To live as God’s possession is to live in freedom. Freedom comes not from striving or self-effort, but from yielding—allowing Him to work in and through us. As temples of His Spirit, we walk free from the soul-flesh nature when we surrender to His will. And we do not walk this out alone. We stand because others pray for us, love us, and uphold us.
Life in God’s family means we belong—to Him and to one another. In that place of surrender and mutual covering, the Lord is free to move through His people.
