Along with my studies of God’s Word and Ministry, I have been on a complex undertaking of improving my overall health over the last few months. Being I have several health conditions to consider this has not been a straightforward process, but I am bound and determined to meet my goals. Though I do this for my own benefit, I am also doing this in honor of my Lord.
During my studies, I have come to realizations that I must take better care of myself if I wish to spread God’s Word and the Love of Jesus. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 was a wake-up call for me.
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
As you may have read in my testimony, I had a period of deep depression in my past, and in that time, I was not taking very good care of myself. Prior to that a serious health crisis. I have let some stones of this temple crumble, so I must now make the repairs. To be ready to serve my Lord and be the best I am able, I am on a quest to improve my overall well-being. I have a lot stacked against me health-wise, but if I allow myself to become lenient on these matters, then I am not honoring the Holy Spirit.
I have quite a list ahead of me, and a few requiring surgical interventions, so I ask for your prayers and patience as I take these matters head-on in my quest of self-improvement and dedication to the temple of the Holy-Spirit I am charged to care for.
My friends, I ask you to consider your own health as well. Are you taking the best care of your Holy Spirit Temple? I encourage you to look after your health, God Almighty has granted me a second chance to look after mine. I implore you to use your first chance to the best you can care for yourself.
God Be With You,
Pastor Steve
