Text: 1 Corinthians 6:19
Further Reading: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
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?
1 Corinthians 6:19 NKJV
MESSAGE
In a time when some people say “their body, their choice”, and in the process murder more than 70 million babies annually through abortion. Christians need to draw the line and understand that they belong to Christ in totality. While the Psalmist was singing the beautiful 103rd Psalms, he called everything within him to bless God’s holy name. This shows a clear understanding of God’s ownership over us. No part of your body is exempted from being used for God’s glory because you are His temple.
Knowing that you belong to Him, there is a great assurance that nothing strange can lodge in your body. Sickness, disease, and whatever can not stay in your body because God has promised that He will destroy anything that defiles your body.
Christ took your sin, sickness, and disease to the cross and dealt with them. That’s why scripture says that Christ Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
I Peter 2:24 NKJV
Even if were problems passed into your life through blood, Jesus wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against you, which was contrary to you. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Colossians 2:14 NKJV
The believer can confidently claim every promise of healing and deliverance from arrows. After all, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
Galatians 3:13 NKJV
Anytime a strange sickness comes knocking, you can confidently confront it and chase it away. You have sure defense in the word of God because his word delivers from all destruction (Psalms 107:20).
Beloved, no stranger is permitted in your body, don’t tolerate them. Kick them all out today in Jesus’ name. Amen.
REFLECTION
As soon as they hear of me they obey me; The foreigners submit to me. The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts.
Psalms 18:44-45 NKJV
Please drive out every element had symptom sickness and disease out of my body in Jesus’ name. Amen.
PRAYER
Father, please touch my entire body and drive sickness and diseases in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
