Holy sanctuary

The people God uses and blesses know how to discipline their bodies so that they can give themselves to the Lord. If we are under the control of anything else other than God, whether it be alcohol, food, drugs, coffee, tobacco, sex, TV, unforgiveness, laziness, etc, then we are in submission to those things and not to God. We cannot serve two masters. Our bodies are to be treated as the temple of the Holy Spirit. Anything that has us under control is inhibiting us from being in total submission to God. This will inhibit our witness and thus could cause others to stumble. If I am addicted to anything other than Christ then I am hypocrite. I just need to deny myself and my flesh. Perhaps if you feel led, you might pray that God will help me overcome unforgiveness and food. I will begin to eat only to satisfy my hunger and nothing beyond that. I have a few people that I must forgive even though they've not asked for forgiveness (that's what makes it so hard). Is there anything that you need to give-up for the Lord? Would you like prayer in this area? If we're truly going to change the world then we must first change ourselves. Let's begin by being disciplined to be in His Word daily.
1 Corinthians 6:19 Don’t you know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.
