Sermon 8: Treat your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, Mike Adams says

By kevinhughes // 2024-09-26

The Health Ranger Mike Adams talked about treating the human body as a temple of the Holy Spirit during his eighth sermon on the "Health Ranger Report" podcast, part of his 100 Sermons series. Adams based his sermon from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. (1 Corinthians 6) The Bible nutrition educator cited 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body." "The body of a follower of Christ is a temple, a holy place within that is representative of the Body of Christ. Christ paid a price so that believers could enjoy their life without having to carry the burden of sin upon themselves," Adams said. The Brighteon.com founder stressed that a believer has a responsibility to act according to the requirements or guidance of the Lord. He added that believers who continue to commit sins against their bodies are not just snubbing or insulting Christ, but are also ignoring the price that Christ paid for them.

"When people make decisions about their bodies, especially when it comes to nutrition, health and living a clean lifestyle, they are impacting not just their physical body but also their spiritual body," Adams said. "You are physically a representation of Christ and God. You are a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, and therefore the actions that you take reflect on your relationship with God and your honoring of this idea that your body is a holy representation of the mind of God, the will of God, the creation power of God."

Your body is not an amusement park

According to Adams, a believer should honor the requirements to live in alignment with Christ and God, which include avoiding self-mutilation and not putting tattoo marks on the body. "Don't use your body like an amusement park. It's not here for your narcissistic pleasures, habits, addictions or enjoyments. Your body is a vehicle in service to God, and your body is a temple. It is something important and valuable, and it needs to be held in reverence," Adams said. He also stressed the importance of eating clean and healthy foods to support the body, mind and spirit. Meaning, people should avoid toxic substances as much as possible, including junk foods, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals and processed ingredients. Adams noted that a sickness or disease would take away a person's ability to serve the Lord and fulfill God's purpose in their life. "So good health is a prerequisite to being able to carry out the higher goals and higher functions in this lifetime, and importantly choosing what you eat, what you swallow, what you consume, what you put on your skin," Adams said.
