SPIRITUALITY AND TEMPLE MAINTENANCE

Temple Maintenance:  

What is Temple Maintenance?  I am glad you asked.  Temple maintenance is based on Bro. Paul's words that are God breathed  by the almighty where he said something like this, "You are not your own.  Don't you know that your body is 'The Temple of the Holy Spirit' ? You belong to God;  therefore glorify God in your body as well as in your spirit."  It seems that making this body healthy (holy), glorifies God just as does glorifying God via our individual spirits.   Hmmmm? Challenging concept.

Spirituality:

What is spirituality?   Once again, I am indeed glad that you asked such a question :o)...... because I would like to share a Christ Follower's answer:  This blogger believes -- from the depths of my spirit and soul -- that genuine "Spirituality" is Holy Spirit empowered Holy Spirit formation living that is "walked out" when Christ Follower's truly deny ourselves, take up THE Cross and follow Jesus... one day at a time one step at a time.  It is a daily intentional surrendering of our bodies to the Lord as living sacrifices, which represents true spiritual worship.  And this worship empowers us to NOT be conformed to the world, but be transformed (as God renews our hearts and minds through His Eternal Covenant.)  We then can know/experience that God's will and ways are good pleasing and perfect.

So what I am blogging about here is not reformation of myself/yourself to break bad habits or turn over new leafs; but I am blogging about complete renewal of our persons from the inside out by the power God gives us--as we give up ourselves-- and let God take over daily.  It is indeed a "God Thang Honey." And it is an inside out grace miracle that forms us into Jesus own image.

Now I said all that to say this:  I am a whole lot lighter than I was last August, and because of health/holy reasons, I have been convinced that God has a plan for managing this body that will make you, me, us, and we better servants of the Lord; which means we can be more and do more because there can be a whole lot less of us via spiritual health. Indeed, it does glorify God when we make it part of our transformational journey to be healthy in our physical state. This ole heart attack patient enjoys the better sense of well being that comes when we sense God's guidance in doing "Temple Maintenance."

So in the next blog or so, I think I will be talking about Spirituality and Health... or Spirituality and Weight Loss... or as I originally stated... Spirituality and Temple Maintenance... good Lord willing.

Y'all go on out and be blessed today... Especially 2day.

American & "Pride"

Image
 THE MEGA PROBLEM OF "PRIDE" Our country, and especially our leaders, have stolen a God Covenant Symbol-- THE RAINBOW-- which declares God's judgment for unholy living will never be accomplished through flood waters; however,  this doesn't mean God will NOT judge a nation,  or planet that is sin filled and full of pride.  We are living in a time that Jesus describes, in the Bible,  as "The Days of Noah." He prophesied of our day being like the generation that caused God to regret HE had ever made human beings.  Why? The answer is simple: HE had this regret because of "PRIDE." How 🤔 is pride demonstrated? 1. Pride shows itself when people worship the creature rather than THE Creator. 2 . Pride is exemplified when people become the idols, and mere human pseudo truth & rules for life are contrary to Almighty God's Law, which human beings use to govern life. 3. Pride is seen in our irreverence for God's name via the confession of our mouth

We Can Be So Much More.

Image
   We Can Be So Much More:  Let us learn about the powerful identity God the Father gives us, through our being IN Christ Jesus by the power of The Holy Spirit. Let us embrace our God given Eternal Inheritance.  ( Ephesians 1:3-14)  Let us get up, each morning and give ourselves up to God. (Romans 12:1-2.)  Let us wake up! And practice Gods practice of putting off the deeds of darkness, of being empowered to behave decently, like people who live in the day time. (Romans 13:11-14) Let us cloth our selves, in Jesus, by putting on the full armor of God each day! This will make us strong in the Lord and in His mighty power, and it will give us all we need to stand against the Devil's schemes. (Ephesians 6:10-20) Let us submit to God, and resist the Devil so he will have to flee from us. (James 4:7) Learn all we can about the enemy and know he has no authority over us. But in Christ we have God's resurrection power flowing in us and through us. In Jesus Name 🙏  SoJourner

W A T C H O U T ! ! ! JESUS TEACHING ON LEADERS

Image
  Jesus Rock Solid Teaching Regarding Picking Leaders Matthew 7:15-23      "Watch out for false prophets! They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!  By their fruits you shall recognize them!  Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, and every bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does NOT bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but ONLY those who do the will of my Father in Heaven. Many will say to me on the day they give account of their lives, 'Lord, Lord' did we not prophesy in your name, and in you name drive out demons, and in your name perform many miracles?  Then I will tell them plainly, ' I never knew you! Away from me, you evil doers!'
