*CIC08:* Celebrity In Christ Episode 8.
TOPIC: Mind & Body (Romans 12:1-2).

The most beautiful thing about our *Mind & Body* is our ability to change them.

Daily exercises in a gym changes your body and keeps you fit, while regular practice of Spiritual Disciplines mentioned in our 3 previous episodes are necessary to Change our minds, Spark Spiritual Awakening, and keep us Spiritually fit.

We are LIVING TEMPLES OF GOD! Therefore, the church is our whole body, including our hearts. PURITY is necessary.

The Animal Sacrifices of the Old Testament are "Dead Sacrifices," but WE ARE LIVING SACRIFICES. *QUESTION: If someone was to give you a goat or cow for your celebration, would you prefer a living one or dead one?*

Romans 12:1 says, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship".

The verse is a call to give one's body to righteousness, not sin. A call to live a life that is holy and pleasing to God.

We are called to become the Body Of Christ. Our hands become his hands, our feet his, our mouth his mouth, our eyes and ears are his. Ephesians 2:19-21.

He doesn’t have any hands on this earth, but *OUR HANDS* , he doesn't have any feet, but *OUR FEET.* God trusts us as his people to do his work!

*WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR HANDS, FEET, EYES, EARS MOUTH, etc?*

Are you keeping them Pure & Holy and living according to the Righteousness and character of our Lord Jesus Christ?

Or Are you telling lies, listening to worldly music, stealing, cursing, watching pornography and other ungodly acts?

*Romans 12:2 says, "Do not be conformed to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind".*

This verse encourages people to change their way of thinking and not copy the behaviors and customs of the world.

Every day, Jesus trusts us as his followers to show the people that cross our paths, the *Goodness, Kindness and Love* of God.

Every day, he trusts us to lift up and encourage and do what we can do to encourage the people that he puts in our paths.

We, as followers of Jesus, are God's representatives here on this earth. His ambassadors.

*DO NOT ALLOW THE SEDUCTIVE FLAMES OF THIS WORLD TO GET TO YOU.*

We are *Children Of God* Shining the light of God Brightly in a dark and deceptive world. We are Soldiers Of Christ.

*WE ARE NOT TRYING TO FIT IN BUT TO STAND OUT FOR CHRIST.*

Declare today, *I CHOOSE THE JESUS WAY.* I Choose to BECOME "The Body Of Christ," which is God's Church instead of Attending Man's Church every sunday without Repentance.

*I CHOOSE OBEDIENCE INSTEAD OF SACRIFICE*

There is no pastor, no prophet, no teacher, and no church denomination that should be your place of dependency.

Jesus died so that he could release his Spirit, and that spirit is called counsellor, teacher, and comforter. *HE'S FOR YOU.*

God wants you to have a deep, intimate relationship with him by Repentance and Becoming Born Again, receiving the Holy Spirit.

There is no junior Holy Spirit or baby Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit that was in Jesus is what you receive when you say YES TO HIM and become Born Again.

God's Church is *NOT* in trouble. Man's Church is the one in trouble
