TRAINING YOUR BODY !

TRAINING YOUR BODY ! Your body is like a child; it will do what you do : it will talk to you you can train it to obey your words. You probably have training that old dog at your house to do certain things. James says that you can train every beast, bird, serpent, and things in the sea. Mankind by his natural ability can train a dog, a bird, or any beast. Your dog doesn't understand either. It is the repeating over and over of the same name until the dog comes when you say that name. You train animals with words. Now what makes you think that your body is less intelligent than a dog ? What makes you think that you can't train the human body to obey the voice of your spirit by the words of your mouth ? Many people obey the dictates of the body without ever realizing that the voice of that body may not be the voice of their spirit ? For instance after eating a meal, you probably would get a thought to smoke a cigarette or have a glass of alcohol ! Many people do this without ever thinking; many may say well let me go smoke a cigarette. They have trained their body and not their spirit. The body can be train it can be done, for the body was designed to be obedient to your words. You have to train your body to pray religiously, in which it is not accurate prayer it is begging and pleading and asking God to do something on your behalf which is not prayer. However, it had to be obedient to the spirit man. The words we speak in prayer do you have a different affect on our bodies. You are either snared by the words of your mouth; or you are either loose by the words of your mouth. When we pray, or continue to say the problem, the body reacts in line with our speaking or praying. Learn to use the Word of God to control your body. I know that many of you have never heard this in your religious circle and you probably will never hear it because it is the truth. The apostle Paul said, "Mortify the deeds of the body." In other words." Change the deeds of the body." How do you do that ? You can't take a knife to mortify the deeds of the body; you will hurt your self. But you can use words to put to death it's deed by training the body to react to God's Word. You can cause your body to come into subjection to your spirit, However you must be born a new ! The apostle Paul said, "I keep my body and bring it under list while I preach the gospel I become a castaway." In the literal Greek, Paul actually said, "I buffet my body." Buffet means "to slab with an open hand or clenched fists." Train your spirit man to believe what you say will come to pass by practicing Tongue control. In the area of sicknesses, I believe we give place to the devil when we say, "I Wonder what is wrong with me ?" The devil can be out of his little flipchart and say, "Well, would you believe you are taking the flu ?" Then, we say, "Well, I haven't been feeling too good." Again many people go by the dictates of the flesh, then they began to reason, "it could be the flu. Then they compare themselves with other people, "my neighbor had it last week and I went over and prayed for her. That must be where I called it." Satan suggested it and you reasoned your self into it !
