We continue from where we stopped yesterday. We are stewards of our body. Demons are looking for bodies to inhabit because they need a vehicle to manifest their worst characteristics. That is why the Holy Spirit needs your body. If the devil can get into the body of a human being and that man yields his body to him, that man becomes a vehicle of destruction. That was what happened in Genesis 6 where the Bible says men yielded themselves so much to the devil.
The Lord’s body was on the earth for thirty-three and a half years. When people touched that body, they got power and healing. His tongue was so yielded to God that he never spoke a negative word. He was always lifting people up, blessing people, and manifesting the glory of God. That is what God wants our bodies to be used for. A body so presented to Him that we know this is God’s body, this is God’s property.
Jesus once took Peter, James and John to the mountain to pray with Him just before His crucifixion but He met them sleeping. This happened because they had not presented those bodies to God. If you want to pray all night and you don’t do a presentation of your body, that is, a conscious, intelligent and solid decision, your body will fall asleep. If the body has gone so lazy on you, it will be very painful to get it to do anything and if you will, your body must be disciplined and brought to a place of presentation. Does your body know its master?
PRAYER: Father, I present my body to You afresh today to be used for Your purpose and glory.
