Our bodies are the vessels where the Spirit lives; take away the Spirit, and the body dies (1 Corinthian 6: 19-20 do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? We are not our own, for we were bought with a price. So glorify God in our bodies.). We all have Souls, and how we nourish our Souls direct our paths in life. If we live in the world, we feed the flesh; but when we desire things of the Spirit, we develop Christ-like character. If we do not nourish our bodies with food and water, the body will die, and if we do not feed our Spirits with the Word, our Souls will not mature and die. We can live without a body, but a body cannot live without a Soul. So we should pay more attention to our souls and less attention to all the things that will pass away.
Father, we have been crucified with Christ, so it's no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. Lord, help us live more in the Spirit than we do in the flesh. Give us ears that hear and receive Your Truth. So, the transforming power of Your Spirit will manifest in our lives and replace our worldly desires with things of the Spirit so we may develop fruit. Lord, we ask for guidance, protection, and kindness; through our daily walk as we pray, praise, and worship Your name to others. Thank You, Lord, for dying for us; that we may be forgiven of our sins; and restored to the Father; so help us repent and turn away from our sin. Father, we cannot take this walk alone, so surround us with Spiritual Soldiers and like-minded people that will walk with us through this journey. Lifting each other up in Spirit, prayer, and love, practicing Your teachings daily. So, continue working in and through us to help us become disciples. In Jesus' name, Amen.
