SPIRITUAL

OUR FAITH LIFE
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONFORM AND TRANSFORM
CONFORM - TO BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
TRANSFORM - TO BE CHANGED NOT LIKE IT WAS BEFORE

EMOTIONAL

Mental health refers to your ability to process information. Emotional health, on the other hand, refers to your ability to express feelings which are based upon the information you have processed.
Romans 12:1–2 ESV
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Emotional health, on the other hand, refers to your ability to express feelings which are based upon the information you have processed.

PHYSICAL

1 corinthians
1 Corinthians 6:19–20 ESV
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
3 John 2 ESV
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
GOD WANTS US TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BODIES, NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT IS WHERE WE LIVE BUT BECAUSE IT IS WHERE HE LIVES!
BEING PHYSICALLY HEALTHY IS A SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE
1 COR 6:12-20
1 Corinthians 6:12–20 ESV
“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

The Message (MSG)

12 Just because something is technically legal doesn’t mean that it’s spiritually appropriate. If I went around doing whatever I thought I could get by with, I’d be a slave to my whims.
13 You know the old saying, “First you eat to live, and then you live to eat”? Well, it may be true that the body is only a temporary thing, but that’s no excuse for stuffing your body with food, or indulging it with sex. Since the Master honors you with a body, honor him with your body!
14-15 God honored the Master’s body by raising it from the grave. He’ll treat yours with the same resurrection power. Until that time, remember that your bodies are created with the same dignity as the Master’s body. You wouldn’t take the Master’s body off to a whorehouse, would you? I should hope not.
16-20 There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, “The two become one.” Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never “become one.” There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for “becoming one” with another. Or didn’t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.
WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO BE PHYSICALLY HEALTHY?
BECAUSE GOD WANTS US TO ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS FOR HIM.
WE CAN’T DO IT TO OUR BEST ABILITY WHEN WE ARE SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY UNWELL.
GOD EXPECTS US TO MANAGE OUR BODY
MANAGING OUR BODY SLIDE
HOW GOOD AM I AT MANAGING MY BODY?
WE ALL NEED 5 BASIC NEEDS TO BE MET IN ORDER TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE
AIR - SURVIVE 3 MINUTES WITHOUT AIR
WATER - 3 DAYS WITHOUT WATER
FOOD - 3 WEEKS WITHOUT FOOD
SHELTER
SLEEP - FIRST 2 YEARS INFANTS 11-17 HOURS
ADULT 7-9
You’ll have trouble focusing.
You’ll become more forgetful.
You will be at a higher risk for disease.
You’ll start gaining weight
You’ll lose your sex drive
Your skin will age faster
Your judgment will be impaired
MASLOW ADDS TWO MORE ON TO THAT
SAFETY
CLOTHES
LIFE ISN’T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE WINDS TO CHANGE BUT LEARNING TO ADJUST THE SAIL
Romans 12:1 ESV
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
SOCIETY AND CULTURE TELL US THAT WE ARE IN CONTROL OF OUR BODIES AND THAT WE CAN DO WHAT WE LIKE WITH THEM.
FOR US TO REALISE THAT OUR BODIES BELONG TO GOD AND WE ARE STEWARDS OF THEM IS A BIG THING.
WE WILL ALL BE CHALLENGED IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
MY JOURNEY IS NOT YOUR JOURNEY

WEAKNESSES

2 Corinthians 4:7 ESV
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
2 CORINTHIANS

LIFE ISN’T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE WINDS TO CHANGE BUT LEARNING TO ADJUST THE SAIL

GODS POWER IS PRESENT IN YOUR WEAKNESS
GOD WORKS THROUGH WEAKNESS TO ACCOMPLISH HIS TASK
GOD ALLOWS LIMITATIONS TO BECOME BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE
2 Corinthians 12:10 ESV
For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Timothy 1:7 ESV
for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7 ESV
for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
SELF DISCIPLINE DOES NOT COME FROM YOURSELF
WE GET AFRAID
WE WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE
WE LOOK AT STICKY SITUATIONS AND WORRY HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THROUGH IT
THE POWER TO KEEP UP A NEW HABIT LIKE DIET OR EXERCISE OR KICK A BAD HABIT OR ADDICTION.
JESUS GIVES US THE POWER AND THE FAITH TO KEEP THESE THINGS GOING
Proverbs 3:7–8 ESV
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.
PROVERBS
LOVE WHAT HE LOVES HATE WHAT HE HATES
ASK FOR ADVICE DON’T DEPEND ON YOURSELF
TREAT HIM WITH REVERENCE, RESPECT AND AWE
DON’T BEGIN WITH YOUR OWN STRATEGY AND RESOLVE BEGIN WITH GOD
Philippians 1:6 ESV
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
PHIL
DON’T GIVE UP
Being healthy means feeling good in your body, mind and spirit. Health is characterized by your ability to function and live a life free from disease and those ticky-tacky ailments that hinder everyday life.

Isaiah 40:29–31 ESV
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
ISAIAH 40:
LIFE ISN’T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE WINDS TO CHANGE BUT LEARNING TO ADJUST THE SAIL
