Personal Revival: The Sanctification Process - The Bible 1. (6 Part Series)

Personal Revival: Your Body Is A Vessel And Is Holy Because The Holy Spirit Dwells Within You 5.

The Bible tells us that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corin 3:16, 6:19-20) and as such, we should be taking care of it just as Moses and the tribe of Levi facilitated and maintained the tabernacle, which housed the ark of God while they lived in the wilderness and even later on when the ark was housed in a more permanent establishment. The ark of God (Ark of the Covenant) is likened to the Godhead (the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit) dwelling with us as believers.

I go to my local gym at least four times a week so that I can get on the road to being physically fit. This requires discipline, and sometimes I just don’t feel like going to the gym, but God reminds me that I need to be consistent because it will eventually bear fruit.

(Hebrews 12: 11 AMP) says "For the time being, no discipline brings joy but seems sad and painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness."⁣.

Paul also says in (1Corin 9:27 AMP)
But [like a boxer] I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave so that, after I have preached [the gospel] to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified" [as unfit for service].

I have also changed my eating habits to a healthier eating regime and monitor what I eat on a daily basis. This also requires discipline, and sometimes I just want to go out and eat whatever I want, but I don't because God has set out a pathway that I am determined to follow through.

Exercise and monitoring my food intake have been a process within itself, but I am fitter and healthier than I have ever been for a long time and able to do things I couldn’t do since joining. I like the idea of redeeming my time, so I use this opportunity at the gym to listen to the word of God via wireless headphones while working out. Have a blessed day!
