Greetings Balanced Life Family,
Does your temple receive the proper care? I’m not speaking of your local church. I’m speaking of your personal temple. Your body is the temple. Christians, who have received the gift of the Holy Ghost, are temples for the Spirit of God. The scripture says, “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?” 1 Cor. 6:19 Christians, since your body is not your own, you can’t do whatever you want with it, because it belongs to God. It’s his dwelling place, his temple.
You must be careful with the temple. Be careful where you take it, how you treat it and what you put in it, if you want the spirit of God to remain. There are three things the temple needs. It needs to be cleaned, occupied and decorated.
It takes the Word of God to clean the temple. Read it, study it and listen to the teaching of it. The scripture lets you know that you are cleaned through the spoken word. “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” John 15:3
Your temple also needs to be occupied by the Holy Ghost. It’s a gift that is promised to baptized believers. It’s the power that gives you the ability to override the will of the flesh and live holy. It’s known to some as the “keeping power”. “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.” Acts 1:8
Your temple also needs to be decorated. You decorate to make things beautiful. When the Holy Ghost comes to live on the inside, he brings his own decoration. It is called the fruit of the Spirit and it makes your spiritual life beautiful. “But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22 &23
So maintain your temple. You’ve got to keep it clean through the Word of God, occupied with the Holy Ghost, and beautifully decorated, with the fruit of the spirit. Amen church!
