(1 Corinthians 6:19-20) 19 "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy spirit, who is in you, whom you have recieved from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
(Psalm 139:14) "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Our bodies ARE amazing! Did you know we are complete with 11 organ systems: Circulatory (heart, blood and blood vessels), Lymphatic (drainage), Respiratory (breathing), Integumentary (skin and all the structures in it), Endocrine (glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream), Gastrointestinal (digestion), Urinary (excretory - remove toxins and waste from the body), Musculoskeletal (framework- the skeleton and all the muscles, tendons and ligaments attached to the skeleton) Did you know that we have 206 bones in our body? Nervous (central and peripheral), Immune (helps body fight against infection and other diseases), Reproductive (the only organ system that is not complete ina any one body and requires another person to complet its mission, producing offspring) 80 individial organs make up these 11 organ systems. Fascinating!!
And through our body God connects with us, signalling areas of our life that need to be addressed. Every ache, pain or illness is a messenger that we are out of alignment with our creator.
Even our teeth, they are also connected to the organs and emotions.
Check this out:
Louise Hay is a Metaphysical teacher. She writes about this in her book: You Can Heal Your Life; sharing how important it is to get "aligned" in our thoughts. Sometimes we have to become aware of the "self" talk we have and correct it with affirmations for healing. In 2009 I introduced to Louise, by my Sales Manager - Mike Hardy. I started following her and doing her mirror work. It has radically changed my life. In her book she outlines the thought we have and the affirmation to rewire our brains. This lines up with the WORD - (Romans 12:2) "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Emotional and Mental causes of illnesses and "dis"ease in the body. Physical symptoms often begin first in the emotional and mental bodies. Emotions and thoughts are energy, if they are not expressed in motion they become stuck in the body causing a block in energy flow. Trauma or inherited cellular memory can result in less than optimal functioning of the meridians of chi flowing though the body. That is why acupunture works so well. It addresses the blocks and opens up the channels so energy can begin to flow again.
When the Holy Spirit wants to get our attention it can be through an ache or pain.
For instance, my back has been bothering me alot lately, my mid back - Guilt. Stuck in all that stuff back there. "Get off my back". I release the past. I am free to move forward with love in my heart.
When I say it enough and begin to believe it, the pain subsides. I'm experiencing this to serve as a reminder that I got to get my thoughts right, aligned for a blessing. Speaking truth that lines us with God's word and who he says you are.
(2 Corinthians 10:5) we read, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."It is WILD. I have helped many people by referencing this book. Her testimony is powerful! She shares how she healed herself of cancer. God downloaded this book in her and since she has sold 50 million copies.
You were born on purpose for a purpose. We have been fully equipped (2 Timothy 3:16-17) "16 All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thouroughly equipped for every good work."
God really loves us. He wants us to KNOW these truths and that we are not alone. He is with us. For he is the breath of life.
Our bodies are the temple for the Holy Spirit to live in and work through us.
Start by cleaning up: Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate one another forgiving each other as Christ forgave you.
When we follow this direction our systems work as they were designed.
I know from experience when I am led by "awe" and "wonder" and operate in gratitude and forgiveness. Magic happens! Your body is a "wonder"land.
