Who's Using Your Body?

Who’s Using Your Body?


“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, (20) for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

WHAT DID GOD SAY TO ME THIS MORNING

When you really think about it and pray about it, you realize how important you are to the plan of God. You were born for a purpose. Just let that sink in. You’re not just here to go to your job and get a house, a spouse, and make money and live it up. God created you with a mind, body, and soul to do His will. Are you allowing Him to use your body for His purpose in your life? You should. Give it a try.

Here’s how my conversation with the Holy Spirit went this morning:

  • Push through pain to do your assignment. I will heal you as you push through toward the completion of what I have assigned you to do.

  • Take good care of yourself; your health. Don’t put off health appointments. Make YOU a priority.

  • I can’t use you fully when you don’t take care of the temple/your body.

  • I need you to organize your life so that it is easier to do what I ask you to do. Get the tools or whatever “stuff” you need that will make completing your assignments easier.

  • Don’t make it harder on yourself because you thinking struggling or self-imposed struggling will make Me more proud of you. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ALREADY! Plus, I don’t want you to use the excuse of not having what you need to get My Work done.

As I was writing in my journal, there was an encouragement note printed in the corner of my journal that read: Your Life Moves In the Direction of Your Most Dominating Thoughts! We should be praying and reading God’s Word to ensure our thoughts align with God. If we use…Our Body for God + Our Gift for God = God’s Will can be achieved. Who’s using you?
