Preserving Our Vessel

There are many words we can use to describe our human body. For now let us call it a vessel because as women we were created to carry another human being and that is the purpose of a vessel - to carry things.

A woman of God should by all means protect her vessel regardless of her circumstance. I believe that as long as we pray to God asking Him we can do so then we will be fine. Some changes take a longer time to manifest after we choose to serve God. DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP ABOUT IT BECAUSE GOD UNDERSTANDS! Remember that He is your father and He knows your heart.

It took me a while to give up fornication. At times during the act I had mixed feelings. I loved being with my partner because the pleasure was on point. But then sometimes there was the guilt of being in church wondering if God revealed my sexual acts to the leaders. I realized that the Holy Spirit is not one of disgrace even though other christians made it seem that way. For example, a christian woman gets pregnant out of wedlock. People say that God used the pregnancy to expose her fornication. I know my God isn't like that! Maybe their God is.

I drank alcoholic beverages when I wanted to ease some stressful tensions in my body. I didn't consume enough to make me drunk because that just isn't right. Our vessel has to be in an alert mode as the devil creeps in when least expect it.

Evil and lustful thoughts will eventually become a thing of the past.  We see so many things in real life and the media that can trigger our desires.

Sickness and disease is not of God and it can hinder us from worshipping and serving in His Kingdom. We need our full body to give praise unto our Father with dancing, singing and clapping.

Here are a few tips on preservation:
- Eat a healthy balanced diet. Taking vitamins and supplements is encouraged.

- Avoid viewing and listening to things of a sexual nature.

- Pray, pray and pray and invite God to purify and cleanse you with his blood. Ask for forgiveness everyday because we sin in our thoughts without even knowing.
