Hard Things

Your Body is a Temple


Listen Later

Join host Amanda in a conversation on maintaining your body, which is the most important vessel God created to house your soul. Learn more about other truths God has for your life. “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]? You were bought with a price [you were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His own]. So then, honor and glorify God with your body.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:19-20‬ ‭AMP‬‬
This is often used in reference to sexual purity.
In this episode, Host Amanda chit chats about our bodies being a temple.
A temple is a building devoted to the worship, or regarded as the dwelling place
Our bodies are a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Given as a gift and bought as a price, you have been redeemed.
In knowing this, we have to choose God.
We have the strength, the power over the sins of the flesh living within us.
Not honoring your body means not honoring God
We are Instruments of righteousness; instruments of worship!
When Jesus came, he eliminated the need for a temple being in a single location! We became temples of God!
——————
Remove things out of your temple that don’t belong!
In the Old Testament, the Israelites put idols in the temple.
Remove the idols! The Holy Spirit cannot dwell in a place with others things you put above him.
Things that are destroying your health or your mindset.
Things you consume, such as unhealthy foods, drugs, alcohol
Things you watch, such as pornography and things along those lines. Nowadays the Netflix movies are borderline measuring up to porn with majority of the scenes containing explicit content.
Self Care is important as well. Learn more about our work here: https://msha.ke/wesealedgenesis#top-picks
