Your body is the temple of the holy spirit

Anything that includes the presence of God is considered holy. The body that receives the Holy Spirit's gift is special to God and is meant to represent His nature. When we consider ourselves to be God's temple, we should be more cautious about where we travel, what we watch, and what we listen to. Our bodies don't belong to us; they belong to God, so they should be clean and free from unnecessary impurities (see 1 Corinthians 6:19-20). As a result, take good care of it and put it to good use for God's purposes. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we lose our right to do whatever we want with our bodies.
We must keep in mind that we were made in God's image and are truly and wonderfully created.

Because they were purchased at a price by Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, we don't have the right to abandon them to sin. God sees the dwelling place when he looks at our bodies. So, what are you going to do with his temple? Remember, we must also learn to cherish and care for our bodies, which God has given us for his glory. In the end, he is the rightful owner of them.

Growing in God's holy character is an important goal in this life. We are assisted in accomplishing that goal in life that will enable us to live forever in His family through His dwelling in us by the power of His Holy Spirit.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
