Glorify God In Your Body by Robert Morris

1/11/2016

In this video, Pastor Morris explains the importance of taking care of our bodies, specifically as it relates to food. I Corinthians 6:20 states, “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (NKJV) Do we really treat our bodies like they belong to God? Pastor Morris explains that caring for our bodies through the way we eat and exercise is of utmost importance - because it is a matter of whether you can fulfill the purpose or mission God has on your life, as your body affects your spirit and soul.

Pastor Morris expounds on three important points related to our bodies and how we care for them:

Our bodies belong to God
Gluttony is a sin: it is not a weight issue- it is our thoughts and attitudes about food
Give your body to God

When we contemplate that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and belong to God, we realize that God is challenging our attitudes about food, eating, and exercise. Do we really exercise temperance and self-control in this area? We can be free of food addictions and gluttonous thoughts and deeds by yielding to God in this area of our lives, and it can be truly liberating. We can learn to eat to fuel our bodies, and not to merely gratify fleshy desires.

May the Lord speak to you personally as you watch this video, and may you have ears to hear and a heart to be fully dedicated to the Lord related to your eating and exercise habits. May you continue to discover, unlock, and live your Godly destiny!

I began with the Blessed Life series in 2004. Since letting go to God the stronghold of the fear of not having enough and by the freedom found through the obedience of tithing and offerings and by the fellowship and work of the Holy Spirit who came to live in me, other strongholds that were controlling my life have crumbled. It started with the tithe. My heart at the time was one of anger and disbelief. The option that Malachi 3:10 gave me to prove Him was the tipping point. A friend gave me the Blessed Life series. I listened over and over, then when I went to church one Sunday and the preacher was teaching from the Malachi scripture, I could not resist the call. I ran to the obedient act, still in disbelief. I wanted to prove there was not a God. On and on...I could write a book. Thank you God. Thank you Robert. Thank you, is not enough.
