PHYSICALLY
Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 [NLT] “Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So, you must honor God with your body.”
This passage of scripture, when you read it in context, is not talking about your physical body and how you care for it (eating, sleeping, exercise, etc.). But the principle is the same. How are you feeling, physically, in 2025? Are you taking care of your physical body? Do you have low energy? Are you eating healthily? These types of questions usually cause people to begin squirming in their seat. God said in His Word that we can live to 120 years of age. You and I have a destiny that is filled with plans from God. They are good plans that produce a hope and future. We cannot fulfill them if we are not well and physically strong and healthy. Honor God by taking care of the body He has given you, and He will honor you.
Scripture
Jeremiah 30:17 [NLT] “I will give you back your health and heal your wounds,” says the Lord.
Confession: Lord, I ask for healing concerning my health and my physical body. I declare today that my health and healing was purchased by the stripes on Jesus’ back. Thank You for healing me, making me whole and strong again. I receive it in the mighty Name of Jesus.
3 John 2 [ETRV] “My dear friend, I know that you are doing well spiritually. So, I pray that everything else is going well with you and that you are enjoying good health.”
Confession: I confess that I have good health. I pray that by faith I am enjoying good health. I am doing well spiritually, and it is having a positive effect upon my physical body. I am and will be physically strong in 2025 to do the will and the work of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 10:13, 31 [TLB] “But remember this-the wrong desires that come into your life aren't anything new and different. Many others have faced exactly the same problems before you. And no temptation is irresistible. You can trust God to keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can't stand up against it, for He has promised this and will do what He says. He will show you how to escape temptation's power so that you can bear up patiently against it. 31 You must do everything for the glory of God, even your eating and drinking.”
Confession: Jesus, I ask for Your help and strength in making the right dietary decisions in my life in 2025. I want and need a new beginning where my eating habits are concerned. I will not give in to craving and temptations as I have in the past. I will do my very best to bring glory to God in all that I do, say, see, hear, speak, and even in what I eat and drink. I want to and I believe I will be an example for others to follow concerning their health and their physical body.
Prayer
Father, You are the Maker of my body. You are not the author of temptation. You are the healer of my physical body and Your will for my life is a healthy and strong physical body. Help me to avoid temptation and distractions during this Daniel Fast. I commit to being healthier in 2025. I want to fulfill the calling on my life and be physically strong, healthy, agile, and pain free as I accomplish Your Kingdom purpose for my life. With your help and guidance, I can do all things because You make me strong. In the Name of Jesus I pray, amen.
