Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
November 09, 2023: SOAP #5089: Job 34; 1Corinthians 4-6

SCRIPTURE:  1Corinthians (NIV) 6:19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your body.

OBSERVATION:  Our bodies have great value to the Lord.  They provide a home for the Holy Spirit in this world. 

They provide the avenue through which we minister to and for the Lord.  Using our hands and feet, and using our voices, we provide windows through which the Holy Spirit, living inside, can express Himself in our world. 

APPLICATION:  I may be praying for God to visit our neighborhood, or town. There are so many people who need Him.   It would make such a difference if Jesus would come to this place!   BUT JUST A MINUTE.  AM I MISSING SOMETHING?   Jesus does not need to pay my city a visit.  He is already here!   The same Holy Spirit who was living in Jesus is now living in me!  The same Holy Spirit who was walking with Jesus in Jerusalem in now walking with me!  

The mortgage on me was paid at Calvary.  This house/body belongs to Jesus!  By His Spirit, He lives in me!       

PRAYER:  Holy Spirit, I want you to enjoy living in me.  Use what my body can do,  my words and actions, to glorify Jesus.   Amen
