Mature believers will pursue complete Holiness, ultimately resulting in Divine Power!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 6:
12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
We should choose never to be enslaved to anyone or anything. Is there anything drawing you away from your stated priorities?
13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Our bodies were created to Love, serve, and worship Our Lord Jesus Christ Who can fill our bodies with Himself.
14 And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.
FATHER can and will awaken those of us who are willing to give ourselves totally over to HIM.
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!
16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”
A harlot is anyone or anything that draws your affection away from the priority of becoming Holy: spirit, soul, and body.
17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
“Joining” means to make two into one.
18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Many believers do not focus on glorifying GOD in their souls and bodies. They think that once they are saved, there is no need to come into the fullness of glorifying GOD in their thoughts and bodies. Their priorities continue to be self-centered. They are more interested in expressing their affection for possessions, food, pets, etc. while the poor continue to suffer. They are willing to pay exorbitant prices for entertainment that lasts only a few hours. They receive a temporary emotional high while there is suffering all around.
FATHER made provision for us to be able to glorify Our Lord Jesus Christ in spirit, soul, AND body. HE wants to dwell in us in full unity with HIM. As we come into the revelation that this is truly possible, we will see HIS Divine power not only operate in us, but through us as well. We are called to be a full expression of Christ.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 1:
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His Name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
By HIS grace, FATHER gave us the provision to become mature Sons and Daughters. By faith, we can achieve what was ordained by HIM. The unlearned and immature are ignorant of this right. You and I are responsible for what level of maturity we walk in.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His Right Hand in the Heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Let us be complete in all areas of our life: spirit, soul, and body.
