Honor Thy Temple

Good Afternoon Honey,

“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, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NLT. Jesus sacrificed His temple so that we can inherit the Holy Spirit, which is a gift given to us! Therefore, we shall honor our temple! How do we honor our temple? We can honor our bodies by observing the ingredients in the hygeine products, and wearing natural products! In our society, most of the hygiene products have chemicals in them that disrupt our hormones, cause cancers, and other diseases! We can honor our temple by getting sufficient amount of sleep. Sleep helps removes the toxins( free radicals) out of our body.  Free radicals cause progressive cancers, strokes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses. Physical exercise is another way to honor the temple since it produces endorphins (happy chemical)! We can honor our temple by praising, worshipping, fasting, and praying! Our vagus nerve connects our minds to our stomach which stimulates relaxation throughout our body! When we pray, fast, worship, and praise it activates this nerve! Also, this nerve plays an essential role in our mental health. 90 percent of serotonin ( happy chemical) is found within our gut biome. Therefore, what you eat not only affects your physical health but your mental health as well!  (vagus nerve is proof of this)  Research shows that the food you eat affects the decisions you will make that day. If we eat unhealthy then you will not have mental clarity and not make good decisions. These decisions will separate us from God. If we do not eat healthy then it can/will lead to anxiety, depression, and severe grief.  For we know that we are not designed for those things! It is the opposite of our divine design! It separates us from God! We were not designed to be separated from God. For God is our source, and we are a (re)source. Re means to add to and source is God. We need God to add to us daily! For He is our daily bread! So let’s honor our temple by being mindful of the things we consume (food/products, show/movies)! Let’s honor our temple by getting enough sleep and exercising! For our temple holds the Holy Spirit, which is our divine power! It is our direct connection to God! Father, we thank you for giving us the gift of the Holy Spirit! You gave your body to us, and we shall give our body to you! Please move us to have the desire to be mindful of the things that we consume! For the things that we consume affects our spirit! Please move us to have a desire to honor you every single day! May we have a sacrificial love like you! Please allow us to practice agape God! Please remind us of the importance of honoring our temple daily! Thank you for your gifts and love! In Jesus name. Amen. 🙏🏽
