God Thinking XXIV - Prepare To Be Prepared 9

"Now, we have looked at what it takes to get the body, the mind and the spirit in line with God’s will and plan for our life.

So, what then, does it take to get the soul in line with God’s will and plan for our life?

The body - in line with God’s will

The mind - in line with God’s will

and The spirit - in line with God’s will

Bear with me.

Here’s what has happened today.

Many people want to exclude the body from the spiritual realm, but it cannot be done, It was never meant that you would love and serve the LORD with your mind and your spirit, but not your body.   

Can you live on this side of heaven without a body?

Then you cannot serve on this side of heaven without a body either.    

It was never meant that you would serve God with your spirit and your body, but not your mind.

It was never meant that you would serve God with your body and mind but not your spirit.

You were designed a living soul and when God saved you, He didn’t just save the spirit - He didn’t just save the mind - He saved the body also - So much so that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.  By His stripes you are healed.  Yes, God saved your bodies also.

It is not true that you can worship God in the spirit, all the while thinking evil thoughts, while you are indulging your body in indiscretions and sin.

When God speaks to you, He speaks to the whole man, the whole woman (body, mind, spirit) (soul).

When God saved you, He saved the whole man, the whole woman (body, mind, spirit) (soul)..

When God sanctified you, He sanctified the whole man, the whole woman (body, mind, spirit) (soul)..

When God heals you, He heals the whole man, the whole woman (body, mind, spirit) (soul)..

Why is this so important?  Because the Church is steering further and further away from God in us - to God give us.
