In the last blog, I described the word of God as medication; which when taken as prescribed, will give the desired result. This week I am going to continue with the same topic.
Do you know that as a born again child of God, your body is the temple of the living God?
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - “What? Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's”.
What is the most common activity that goes on in the temple of God? I guess it is worship and prayer. These are the only activities that have the legal right to operate in the temple of God. Cast your mind back to what happened when Jesus went to the temple of God and found people buying and selling. He did not waste time at all but instead sent them out immediately. That is what you too are supposed to do when other activities are going on in your body that are not ordained by God; you have the authority to put an end to such activities. You do this by commanding those activities to cease and then to leave your body in Jesus name.
Matthew 21:12-14 - “And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple; and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves. And said unto them, it is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves”.
What I can deduce from this verse of scripture is that the temple of God became a den for thieves because it was not used as a house of prayer. Likewise if your body is not used a house of prayer, it might end up being a den for thieves. Jesus described the thief (Satan) as coming to steal kill and destroy.
John 10:10 - “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly”.
How do you make your body a house of prayer? The answer is that you pray in tongues more often. When you pray in tongues, it is the Holy Spirit helping you to pray with your spirit and you are praying according to the will of God. The Lord owns His temple and I believe that His assistance in prayer is more effective. It is the owner of the temple that knows the needs of the temple better. It is not by your might nor by your power but by the spirit of God (Zachariah 4:6).
Romans 8:26-27 - “Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God”.
I will remind you again that when you are born again; your spirit becomes complete and perfect. Your spirit becomes one with the spirit of Christ (1Corinthians 6:17) and as Christ is, so are you in this world (1 John 2:27).
When you pray in tongues, you are building up yourself (soul and body) to be in conformity to who you really are in the spirit. In the spirit, you have good health and you lack nothing. When you build up yourself by praying in tongues, what was not whole before in your body starts becoming whole. Speaking in tongues by the leading of the Holy Spirit builds up your body from every wear and tear.
Jude 1:20 - “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost”.
I want you to know that sickness and disease are strangers in your body that need to be kicked out. They are strangers who make themselves guests but you must not welcome them. When you continue to pray in the spirit, every sickness or disease in your body begins to leave your body. It does not matter where the sickness might be hiding, it will be snuffed out in Jesus name. Every stranger in your body must fade away in Jesus name.
Psalm 18:45 - “The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places”.
Praying in tongues keeps you in the love of God and this builds up your faith. You begin to have more understanding of the love that God has for you. The more you understand His love, the more revelation you have of the completed work of Jesus on the cross of Calvary. One of His completed works is that you have been healed by the stripes on His body. This revelation of the love of God drives out fear from your life because the bible says that perfect love drives out fear (1John 4:18). Your faith is built up because there is no more fear in your heart.
Jude 1:20-21 – “But you, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life”.
The bible says that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord raises a standard against the enemy. Who is this enemy? It is the devil (John 10:10). He is the one that steals the health of people because he is a thief. When you pray in tongues, rivers of living water starts to flow out of your belly (John 7:37-38). I believe that these rivers are infinite and so has the ability to stand against any flood. The rivers of living water flowing out of your belly raises up a standard against the enemy. What you have flowing out of your belly is the power of the Holy Ghost and this will flush out every sickness from your body.
Isaiah 59:19 – “So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him”.
God has provided everything you need to enjoy your life and also to live a godly life. He has prepared for you great and mighty things. Some of these things eyes have not seen them and ears have not heard them. You can only know these things by the help of the Holy Spirit. Allow him to help you pray and you will be amazed as he searches through your spirit and begins to give you revelation of those things that your mind has not perceived before. Continue to pray in the spirit and believe what the word of God says about you. Your transformation would soon be evident to all.
Enjoy the blessings of God
Blessed. Many Thanks. Grace to you.
