Your Body can be Holy and Without Defect
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.” (Ephesians 5:25-27 WEB)
When God sanctifies you, it means He is separating you from what is unclean and part of the curse that is upon this world due to Adam’s sin.
God never wanted man to grow old, weak, and die. Death entered the world because of Adam’s sin. All forms of death are perversions of God’s original design.
Most people shower their physical body daily, but many do not wash their soul. After receiving filth from the world through our eye and ear gates, we should wash the dirt off by receiving the preached Word of God. It is not good for wrong beliefs to remain in your heart because they will take root and produce fruits of death.
For example, this belief, “Everyone grows old. It is normal.” Many of us would agree with this belief immediately because it has been programmed into our minds and hearts ever since we were little. This is what we observe even as kids. People get older, weaker, sick, and they eventually die.
However, we must remember that not everyone is a child of God, and even among believers, many are clueless about youth renewal as part of their inheritance in Christ.
The passage above says that Jesus washes the church (assembly) with the Word, so that she will not have any “spot, wrinkle, or any such thing”. These imperfections mentioned are signs of aging which is a form of death.
When you receive the Gospel which is a message that is brimming with life, you also receive life-giving power in your mortal body when you believe and confess it.
God does not want you to have spots, wrinkles, or any such blemishes. When He renews your youth and give you beauty instead of ashes, He does a perfect work.
At the cross, God allowed Jesus to have His visage be marred more than any man. Jesus died young at 33 years old. Jesus suffered these to purchase beauty and enduring youth for you, redeeming you from the curse.
We must shake off the death programming in our language, and in our beliefs. These only cause accelerated aging and death. When you are expecting death, you shall reap death.
God wants you to be “holy and without defect” in all ways, including your physical body. If you feel like this truth is attacking you and you take offense at it, you will not experience the transformational benefit.
When you are holy, it means you are set apart from what is common. Just because a thousand are falling sick, weak, old, and dead on your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, does not mean you have to accept it for yourself. Yes, it is happening to the people of the world, but it shall not come near you. Will you boldly stand on God’s promises patiently and with perseverance, even if people think that you are being crazy, unrealistic, or delusional?
