Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you  which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Corinthians 6: 18-20

These words are delving deep into my spirit this morning as I read and understand them and I pray they do the same for you

YOU were bought with a price, your body is an actual temple of the Holy Ghost. If we spend time really understanding that we would never get into some of the habits and practices that we’ve become so comfortable getting into.

We would begin to see out bodies with much more worth and value than we’ve seen it before.

I not only apply this verse to fornication but to sexual habits and other practices that do not add any value to our temple’s.

If our bodies were bought with such a price and the Holy Spirit himself calls us his temple for which he dwells how can we then indulge in sexual sin, masturbation, intoxication, and many other habits that dishonor our temple’s.

Think of how much you are worth and the fact that the Holy Spirit seeks to dwell WITHIN you before we begin indulging in things that are not worth how much we are. We were bought with a price, let us carry ourselves as such.

It is not worth it.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank you that your word reminds us of the high value you have placed on us as your beloved children. May we carry ourselves with the understanding that we are the temples of the Holy Ghost and may we learn to honor our temple by caring for it and treating it with love and respect in obedience to you. May we honour you and may we honour our temple. In Jesus name, amen

The foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. 1 Corinthians 1: 25 & 27

God’s wisdom is way above and beyond our own. This day and weekly’s encouragement is to remember that even the ‘foolishness’ of God is wiser than what you and I think to be wise. God knows much better than you.

So this day and moving forward begin to let go of what you know to be wise in your own eyes, your own understanding of what is right or true. Let go.

Let God teach you through his word, through experience and through the Holy Spirit’s whisper his wisdom and understanding. Let go and listen to the wisdom of God, you are much safer there.

Dear Heavenly Father, give us the humility to let go of our own understanding which may be causing us to walk in disobedience. Help us to trust your divine wisdom and walk in it. We trust you and let go. In Jesus’ name amen.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8: 14

Take a deeper look and dive into Romans 8 : Life in the Spirit , as we take a deeper dive into this scripture we can begin to understand what Life by the Spirit really means.

I know, It’s easier said than done but it is time to start somewhere. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh; but after the Spirit. Romans 8: 1. What does walking after the Spirit look like? But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22-23. These qualities can come and go depending on the day right? But to live after the Spirit is to walk in this fruit daily, and yes it means dying to self daily. I know the easiest thing to do is walk in the natural response of the flesh, we all do it and we can get very comfortable very quickly, but in order to live by the Spirit of God we must encounter some discomfort because our flesh won’t like when we choose love and joy instead of bitterness and anger. We would rather return scorn and hatred to a brother/sister than to live in kindness and goodness. We can easily ignore God and his people and live selfishly rather than being faithful as a Christian and gentle in spirit and in WORD. Self – control is a big one, because we can easily let loose, let go, say a few curse words, fly off the handle, give in to our desires “just for a little bit” rather than exercising self-control. We are all guilty and we all have fallen short at some point, I definitely have.

As brothers and sisters in Christ we must encourage each other to live by the Spirit. So my encouragement to you let’s write/note down where we easily fall and keep it in mind. As we walk through our day let us be concious of what walking by the Spirit looks like, let us remember that if we are led by the Spirit rather than the flesh, we are called the sons of God.

Dear Father,

As you lead me in my day to day activities help me to remember that I am not of this world but that your Holy Spirit, the Spirit of all truth lives within me therefore I must walk in the way of the Spirit. Help me up when I fall to get back on my feet stronger than before after learning from my mistakes. Keep me on a path of life and peace because the life of the spirit is one of life and peace and that is the path I choose this day, thank yiu for your grace and mercy and for never forsaking me, I love you. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.
Psalms 12:6 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.12.6.NKJV

The word is living truth, so as this scripture emphasizes that God’s words are pure like silver tried in a furnace of the earth purified seven times, why do we doubt Him?

He spoke to you in that dream, through your pastor, leader, even friend, through that bible verse or message, His words are clear. His words never go against truth, it always brings with it peace and conviction “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12. The word of God penetrates the soul and spirit causing us to re examine our lives and choices.

Trust that when God speaks His words will be clear and will be confirmed through His word. It will always be truthful and will always align with righteousness and peace.

God bless you

You may be wondering what is a prayer of salvation?

Romans 10: 9-10

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raise Him from the dead, those shalt be saved.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Today, we will confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and that God His Father raised him from the dead. We will believe these truths in our hearts without doubting, knowing that Jesus died as a ransom for the sake of our sinful nature. We were all destined for hell but His life here on earth and sacrifice to bring people to a new hope in Him stopped us in our tracks to hell. We can now believe in Him, confess our sin and accept Him we have His Holy spirit now living within us a life he purposed for us to live as we obey Him. Our lives won’t always be perfect, but as you accept Him after confessing your sin you will now be made into a new creation in Christ. This means your old ways of thinking will be made new because he will renew your mind daily as you trust Him. Even when you slip sometimes and fall you will know you can get back up and keep going with Him. Your belief in Him and obedience to Him is what is required.

You will now live a life of total freedom from the deadly traps of sin.

Say this prayer in your own words:

Dear Heavenly father,

I admit my sins, I am a sinner {expand and confess further sins if led} and I need your deliverance and power at work in my life. Cleanse me Father, I trust and believe in you.

I believe you have sent your son Jesus Christ as a baby to redeem this world from the deadly nature of sin through His sacrifice of death on the cross. I believe he died for me. Because of this sacrifice I have decided to surrender my life to Him, that i may be made whole and have his Holy Spirit live in me. So I surrender and ask that you Holy Spirit will dwell in me and wash my sins away, as I walk this walk of faith I know it will not always be easy but I trust you to carry be and help me up when I fall. I am dedicated to walking as your child wherever you lead. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Congratulations, you’re saved now go forth and seek further counsel from the Holy Spirit on a church to join so that you can enter into a brother/sisterhood of believers that will guide you in wisdom.
