Session Four

PRAYER and FASTING

PHYSICAL FREEDOM

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, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NLT

REFLECTION

Physical freedom isn’t just about health; it’s about breaking free from addictions, lethargy, or habits that “tie us up.” It reframes our physical well-being as an act of worship and a stewardship of the “price” Christ paid.

QUOTES

“Your body is the instrument of your soul. If the instrument is broken or out of tune, the music of your life will be hindered. We honor God when we tend to the vessel He has given us.” — Gary Chapman

PRAYER POINT

“Restoring the temple and honouring God with our lives”

Pray for the discipline to treat your body as a temple. Ask for deliverance from physical addictions or habits that hinder your energy and your “yes” to God.
Pray for the health and vitality of our members. Ask for God’s healing hand to be on those suffering from chronic illness, and for a culture of stewardship over our physical lives.
Pray for the vulnerable—the hungry, the homeless, and those trapped in physical labour or exploitation. Ask God to show us how to be His hands and feet to bring physical relief and justice.

MEDITATE

Give your body to God today. As you move through your day, offer your physical strength, your sense of smell, your tastebuds, your eyesight, your rest and all your desires as a living sacrifice to God.
