Use Your Body for Good

Romans 6:13: Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin.

Don’t allow sin to use your digestive system as a vehicle for sickness.

Romans 6:11 : You should consider yourself dead to the power of sin. Do not let sin control the way you live. Do not give into sinful desires.

Just as Jesus quoted scripture to overcome temptation, so should we.

Scripture is our Sword of the Spirit.

I used Romans 6:13 this week to say NO to the wrong food. . . And it worked! I had been studying Romans 6 that morning. The Holy Spirit had impressed upon my spirit the words of Romans 6:13; so my mind had been contemplating using that one to overcome food binging urges.

Later in the day when tempted with a food choice, that very scripture popped into my mind, and I resisted the devil who fled from me. The Word of God is powerful to win the battle of the moment.

Therefore, consider yourselves to be ALIVE to God through Christ Jesus. (Romans 6:11)

And submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7  )
