The other morning as I was in my prayer time the Holy Ghost revealed to me, my body is His Temple and made me aware of things that I have been putting in His Temple. *1st Corinthians 6:19 "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own." Most of you know this scripture but have you ever really thought about it. Our body is His temple what kind of things do you let go into it not just food or drink but, things like the tv shows you watch, the kind of stuff you read, the stuff your hear. The temple is to be a place of prayer. *Matthew 21:13 " And He said to them, "It is written 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.'" Really by putting anything into your body that is not of God you are robbing your body of the power of the Holy Ghost. It is all comes down to this will you be known for being a house of prayer or a den of thieves.
*all quoted scripture is from the New King James Version

ReplyDeleteYou can also look at it as the things you put into your eyes and ears can also come out of your mouth. The company you keep can effect your temple. If you are constantly around someone that is using profanity or living in a way that is not pleasing to God then what comes out of your mouth and how you conduct your temple will be a wittness to others. We must always continue to strive to keep our temple pure and righteous in His sight. We never know who may be watching us.
