1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
As we can see, we have a natural body and a spiritual body. We’re more familiar with the natural body. Our natural body requires food, sleep, and it’s beneficial for it to have exercise. If we choose to neglect some of the requirements of our natural bodies, our health can deteriorate.
Just like the natural body has some requirements to stay healthy, our spiritual bodies have some requirements as well. A healthy spiritual body needs food. Food for the spiritual body comes in the form of the Word of God. When we feed ourselves the Word of God, we starve doubt, unbelief, and fear.
Secondly, our spiritual bodies need constant communication with God. John 4:24 tells us God is a spirit. Who better to tell us how to develop our spiritual bodies besides God? God will tell us when to fast, pray, or study the Word.
As we feed ourselves the Word and communicate with God, God uproots everything He did not plant (Matthew 15:13). Anger, bitterness, and hatred can’t be seen, therefore, if it’s displayed in our lives, it must be associated with the spirit. As we continue to develop our spiritual bodies, God promised to uproot anything He did not plant from our lives.
In this time where exercising seems to be popular, let’s not forsake nurturing our spiritual bodies.
