All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.
That was verse 12 and already I need to comment about it. The interpretation of all things is just that, all things. But what keeps this message Holy is that we are not to do unprofitable things. Also we must not let things Master us. For an example, taking some drugs can help us. But other drugs can damage us and become our master. This logic can be applied to all things.
Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them.
Once again, I didn't get through verse 13 and I needed to comment. This is what our spiritual body is and a promise of what our glorified body will be, having no stomach and not needing food. But the point I need to make is that eating is not a sin and a warning that food could become your master. Today we eat without guilt so our body is a productive Temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell in.
Yet the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.
This is the second half of verse 13. We must not separate the message about sexual immorality. We are not told to avoid sex. It said that our body was not made for sexual immorality. The message is, our body has the capacity to have a relationship with Yahuah Elohiym. It's not physical in nature, it is spiritual. Yahuah Elohiym's Word is a romantic experience with His Assembly of Believers. As a young man I wrote a Bible study. An elderly woman who read it asked me, where is the romance between Yahusha and His Bride. Thank you my friend of long ago.
Now God has not only raised the Lord, but will also raise us up through His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
Yahuah Elohiym has raised Yahusha up from the Virgin Mary. He made His Word flesh by His authority. As Eve was made from Adam's side, the Bride of Yahusha Hamashia was made from the side of Yahusha. This happened when the blood and water sprayed out from the Roman spear. The Prostitute is a Church that denied Yahusha Hamashia's authority. Or in other words, does unproductive things or things that enslaves them.
Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall become one flesh". But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
You must choose one. You cannot have two masters. The master of the prostitute is Satan. A Harlot church church that masters you is the hand of Satan. By joining up with Yahusha Hamashia, our Born Again Spirit is one with His Spirit. Then there is the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Yahuah that anoints us.
Flee sexual immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
Sexual immorality is the one sin that shuts down the pathway of Spiritual contact with Yahuah Elohiym. This is because Sexual immorality quickly becomes your master. You become submissive to immorality. The Holy Spirit will not enter the temple of Satan. Immorality has a distinct, strong, and unpleasant spiritual odor. It's Satan establishing boundaries to keep the Holy Spirit away from you.
The girl at the Park
As a grandfather watching my grandchildren, I noticed three children run to the playground equipment. One female child having black straight hair and pretty, was wearing what looked like salvage clothing and oversized clogs that prevented her from running normally. They were followed by a normal looking older woman. Soon after this woman sounded like a nasty old granny ripping apart the soul of this beautiful black haired girl. This woman's attitude was destructive and of a vengeful nature. This nasty old granny was only causing bitterness to spread like wildfire in me and the child.
I quote, "bitterness is one of Satan's greatest weapons in devouring all kinds of relationships. It seeks out those who have been offended or hurt by another, encouraging them to dwell on the offense until a deep-seated anger and resentment takes root."
Needless to say, I prayed for the child and prayed against the unloving nasty old granny. Then I'm reminded that Yahusha has more mercy than I have. It's not that Yahuah Elohiym is slow, it's because He doesn't want to miss out on giving anyone the opportunity of salvation, including nasty old grannies.
