“The Body and the Lord”

Blessings folk!

All things are lawful for true Believers.
Yet, not all things are not profitable.
We are not to be mastered by anything.

The Lord then gives an example…

1Co 6:12-13
All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.
Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.


Food is for the stomach.
The stomach is for food.
God will do away with both.

First truth.
We are not to be mastered by the stomach.
Observation proves that too many believers are mastered by their stomachs.
How many are consumed with consumption?
How many spend their days anticipating the next time of food/drink intake?

How many are gluttons?

The Word is clear.
We are not to be heavy drinkers…especially of drink that will cause chemical imbalance.
We are not to be gluttonous of food.

Pro 23:20-21
Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;
For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe one with rags.


Eph 5:18
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,


Second truth.
The body…our corporeal body…is not for immorality.
Our body is for the the Lord.
The Lord is for the body of the believer.

In the same manner that food/stomach naturally relate, the body of the believer is the Lord’s.

Therefore, be fill with and full of the Holy Spirit.
Quench not the Spirit.
Be indwelled by the Lord rather than the passions of the flesh.
