Your Body is God’s Temple

““Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power. Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, “The two”, he says, “will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,” but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:13-20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

I believe that seeing your body as God’s temple will transform the way you treat it.

If God had designed for us to still be worshipping Him in a temple built of gold, wood, and stones, would you go and defile the walls with graffiti, toss lots of junk into it, have your way with prostitutes inside, and let it fall into disrepute? No way, right?

Probably the number one reason why we don’t treat our bodies right is because we are not conscious of it being God’s temple.

We go around daily, thinking that the condition of our body is not that important, and that other things are more urgent.

When we get busy, hydration is neglected, meals are skipped or irregular, exercise is dropped, hygiene is forgotten, sleep is sacrificed, and the body is just sadly abused.

The body is the house of the Holy Spirit, and we ought to treat it right.

If the president (or someone else of a much higher rank that you respect) announces one day that he will be staying at your house, you will surely clean up the house and prepare it nicely right?

Then why are we so casual when God is dwelling in our body, and He has promised to stay forever? Does He not deserve the grandest, most glorious house with the best maintenance?

Thankfully, we have a better way than natural methods to care for God’s temple. If your body is in a bad state, and needs some major renovation, the Holy Spirit can work an awesome transformation by His power. It is a change that everyone can see.

“Younger and Younger: 31 Days of God’s Youth Renewal Promises” was birthed from a rhema word that I received from within. “Younger and younger.” It was a season about learning how to renew my youth by God’s way, and become overall healthier, stronger, and more beautiful.

Since then, many readers have given good feedback, expressing that people around them also started commenting that they look younger, after they applied the truths shared within the book.

Some readers especially love the “Eternal Youth Declarations Audio” that comes as a bonus mp3 file to recap on the youth declarations in the book, and it’s also a good way to have God’s youth renewal promises confessed over you all day long. Soaking yourself in God’s word is always a powerful, life-giving, and beneficial activity.

A Clean Body to Reflect a Clean Spirit

“Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:19-20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

I have started to enjoy cleaning the house because I love how nice and spacious a room is after disposing of junk and wiping all the dust away.

Did you know that your body is a house? The apostle Peter calls it an “earthly tent” which we temporarily live in for this mortal lifetime.

Would you like it if your house is cluttered with junk and very dirty? I guess no one would like that if they could choose to have a clean house.

The junk in our flesh are the wrong beliefs that we hold on to. It’s good to throw out some junk each day and wash the dirty spots with the water of God’s word. Let the Gospel cleanse your mind until it shines like a freshly mopped floor, reflecting the glory of Christ.

Treat your body well too. Bathe properly, brush your teeth. Eat moderately, stay in shape through regular exercise for the apostle Paul says that physical exercise has some benefit.

When you know that your body is the temple of God, you will want to keep your body clean, beautiful, and set apart from the corruption that is in the world.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is very powerful. It has the power to cleanse you from the inside out. When you are conscious of how clean you are inside, you will want to be clean outside as well—in your soul and body.

Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. If a righteous human president that you look up to announced that he was coming to stay at your house, wouldn’t you clean up the place and make it somewhere comfortable and befitting his status?

Well, the Holy Spirit is living inside your body, so make it a place that He is pleased to live in. Foul, corrupt speech and committing sexual immorality grieve Him. Imagine that you are making Him live in a trash dump when you do all that.

Receive the Gospel, be renewed in the spirit of your mind daily, and it will produce the desire and power to keep your soul and body clean. It’s a long-term project, so don’t rush—just be consistent. Hallelujah!

《小說故事創作 (Part1）by 八歲小貝拉》

1847年。

吃完晚飯，我繼續在餐桌寫著我的故事。

『已經很晚了。』媽媽提醒我。

我好討厭深夜，因為深夜裡有很多可怕的東西跑出來，例如：木乃伊，怪物，鬼魂，雪人…等。

我回到房間，看見姐姐艾瑪正在梳頭，她的頭髮是如此柔順美麗，不像我的頭髮又髒又亂，我坐下來想要改變自己的樣子，於是我看著鏡子一直說：『我很漂亮、我很美麗、我很漂亮、我很美麗…』這些話使我頭暈目眩。

隔日，星期天早晨，媽媽總是很忙，我在廚房興奮地跳來跳去，我想趕快見凱蒂，也想吃點餅乾，那種脆脆的餅乾。姐姐依然很漂亮，她穿著天藍色的洋裝上面綴著白色蝴蝶結在我面前飛舞。

『完了，凱蒂一定在等我！』我大喊。

媽媽立刻給我一塊麵包，她吩咐：『一路小心，妳必須在…』

『在十二點前回家，我知道了！』我離開了家，跑過樹林。

『衝啊！』我彷彿聽到了那些大樹不停地在我耳邊咆嘯，大聲且清晰。

今天天氣好冷，好像在最冷的冬日吃了49球冰淇淋一樣！

『嘿！』我向凱蒂揮手。

『你還好嗎？』凱蒂憂心問我：『我是說妳看起來好像吃了48球冰淇淋。』

『是49球冰淇淋。』我指正她。

凱蒂很困惑，用一種「我老是在不恰當的時候說了一句不該說的話」的那張臉看著我。

接著，我們走到了小溪邊。我們準備了兩個瓶子，要玩了一個名為“水花瓶子”的遊戲。我們在瓶子上打了個洞，把瓶子裝滿水，然後相互潑濺在對方的頭上，好似淋雨一般，也好像正在跟一位頑皮的男孩玩灑水遊戲！

『碰！』我和凱蒂忽然間聽見怪聲。我們嚇到，宛如兩個吃了100球冰淇淋的雪人，僵住了！

凱蒂原本是很勇敢的；但是現在看起來跟我一樣害怕。

『妳不是很勇敢嗎？為什麼妳現在看起來不像。』我壓低了聲音。

凱蒂看著我，嚴肅地說：『我們不應該在這時候開玩笑。』

凱蒂用腳尖輕輕走路，然後踏進溪流，水發出飛濺的聲音『啪噓、啪噓…』

『噓，妳正在把外星人嚇跑！』我小聲提醒凱蒂。

她點了點頭，用非常緩慢的速度前進，並專注凝視著那東西，然後一把握住它！

『噢，這是一隻可憐的小兔子。』凱蒂看著兔子，甚至…已經喜歡上牠。

『牠好像睡著了。』凱蒂像個嬰兒一樣，緊緊抱住兔子。凱蒂的擁抱有時不是一件好事，因為她總是顯得太興奮。

『我們可以來抓一些葉子使它變軟來餵牠。』我摸著兔子說。

『我們應該把牠交給黛拉。』凱蒂建議：『黛拉是一位非常優秀的動物護士，她只有九歲，但快十歲了。』

我們走著走著，終於到了黛拉的密室，那外頭有很多小動物正在等著她的幫助，所以她可能很忙。我們進了小屋棚，那是一間用樹葉和樹枝蓋成的小房子。我們東瞧西看，屋內有很多食物、藥品、水和其他東西。

黛拉正抱著一隻可愛嬌小的老鼠，名叫艾莉絲。

『這隻可憐的小兔子受傷了而且被遺棄，快救救她或他！』凱蒂抱著兔子快步走向黛拉，急促地請求幫助。

黛拉接過兔子仔細端詳說：『我會幫這隻兔子看看牠有什麼毛病，也會確認牠是她或他。』

凱蒂聽後，開心使盡地緊緊抱住黛拉。

『別開心太早！我們還不知道牠是否有什麼問題？』黛拉冷靜地說。

《Story writing (Part 2) by Bella Chang, 8yrs old》

1847

I ate my dinner then did my work.

"It's going to be late. " Mom said.

I hate night, because there are many scary things coming out in the late night, like mummies, monsters, ghosts, snowmen...etc.

I went back to the room and saw my big sister Emma brushing her hair. Her hair is so soft and smooth, not like my hair is dirty and messy. I sit down and want to change my look. So I look at the mirror and keep saying: "I am beautiful, I am beautiful, I am beautiful, I am beautiful! " All that words made me dizzy.

The next Sunday morning, my mother is always busy. I hopped around happily in the kitchen. I want to meet Katie as soon as possible, and I want to eat some cookies, the crunchy cookies. My sister is still beautiful, she is swing her dress in front of me, it's like a sky blue color with a white bow.

"Katie must be waiting for me! "I yelled.
My mom gave me a piece of bread. She reminded me：" Stay safe and come back before…."

"I know before 12:00. "I left home and ran across the trees.

"RUSH!" I heard those big trees roaring in my ears, loud and clear.

The weather is so cold, feeling like eating 49 balls of ice cream on the coldest winter day!

"Hey! "I waved to Katie.

"Are you ok? "Katie asked me worried: "I mean you look like to have eaten 48 balls of ice cream."

"It's 49 balls of ice cream. "I corrected her.

Katie was confused and looked at me with a face that "with one of my not the right time to say that."

Later, we walked down to the creek. We had two bottles, and played a game called "Splashed bottle!". We made a hole in the bottle, filled the bottle with water, and then splashed water over our heads, like it's raining, and also like we were playing with a mean boy!

"Bump! " Suddenly, Katie and I heard strange noises.

We froze like two snowmen who ate 100 balls of ice cream.

Katie was brave, but now...
"I thought you were brave why don't I see it now" I said super duper cooper quietly.

She looked at me and scared so was I.
"We shouldn't be joking at this right moment. "Katie Said.

Katie tip toe then went across the creek. "Splash splash……"

"Shhh… you are making the alien go away! "

She nodded, moved forward slowly, stared at the thing, and then grasped it!
"Oh, it is a poor little bunny. " Katie looked at the rabbit, even... already loved it.

"The bunny went to sleep?" Katie hugged the bunny so tightly like a baby. Sometimes Katie's hug is not a good thing, because she always kinda too excited.

"Let's grab a hull bunch of leaves to make it soft and feed. "
"We should give it to Della." Katie suggested: "Della is nice nurse for animals. She is only 9 years old, but almost 10. 』

As we walked and walked, we finally arrived at Della's hideout. There were many small animals staying outside waiting for her help, so she might be very busy.

We went inside the the little hut, which like a small house made of leaves and sticks. We looked around, there were a lot of food, medicine, water and other things.

Della is holding a cute and petite mouse named Alice.

"This poor little bunny was hurt and unloved. You need to help him or her!" Katie walked quickly to Della and said very very fast.

Della looked at the bunny very close. "I will see what is wrong with the bunny and tell you it's a girl or boy. "

Katie hugged Della tight as she could.

"Don't be that happy, we still don’t know if it's OK? Della said.
