Keep your bodies Holy

Many Christians are asking other Christians for prayer regarding healing. Yes, there are some serious health issues that do require much prayer. In fact, the bible tells us how not to get sick and shows us the way to healing. I will discuss that on another article. However, we have to understand something. Many Christians are sick because of their own lifestyle choices. We are asking God to heal us but we are not changing our eating habits or the quality of food we eat.
You cannot continue to ask God for healing with problems of diabetes, high blood pressure, cholestrol, heart issues, and other illness while you continue to eat fast food hamburgers, frozen TV food or other food with too much salt or suger, over eating, drinking gallons of soda (pop), smoking, drinking, not getting enough sleep, not exercising, eating before bed, and the likes.
Galatians 6:7 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Many American Christians are suffering from many illnesses because many are plainly just overweight. If they just lost the weight, they would lose the diabetes, blood pressure, cholestrol, and the likes. Sadly, they are reaping what they had sown in many bad years of eating junk food. It is the lack of self control fruit.
God is more than willing to heal HIS people but we must be willing to do our part. Yes, God will heal us but we must show God that we will take care of our bodies for they are HIS Temple. We must be more conscious in what we eat and how we eat. Gluttony is rampant in America. Eating a lot of good food is not a bad thing but to overeat continuously with no self control will lead to big trouble.
If a Christian ask for healing and gets the healing but does not stop the bad eating habits nor takes care of their bodies, then those Christians will just get sick again. Then why would God heal such a disobedient person? Sadly today, many Americans can continue to eat unhealthy food as they take pills for their high blood pressure, diabetes, and such. Medicine has made it possible for people to continue in their bad habits.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NLT) Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
Our bodies are the temple of God. It is suppose to be Holy ground. But we must examine how we are treating our bodies. We do not belong to ourselves nor do we own our bodies. HE bought us at a very high price. At least we could do is learn self control and not be like the world. Our bodies are suppose to reflect HIS Glory not reflect the sickness of the world.
Exodus 15:26(NLT) He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you.”
The Lord told my wife and I to take care of our bodies as we age since HE said HE will be using us for a long time in ministry. When God tells my wife and I, HE is also telling our church and the Christians who are reading this message. Yes, we will be here for awhile. The most greatest events that the world has ever witnessed will be unfolding in these last days for HIS Glory and HIS people who know HIS Voice will be in the front lines of His great army. God's Glory shall indeed cover the earth. The latter Glory will be much greater than the former.
