Romans 12:1 (KJV)

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

There is a book that caused an uproar in the medical community called Dead Doctors Don't Lie. The catchy and somewhat controversial title suggests that it is impossible to do anything after you're dead. However, I propose there are things you can and should do after you're dead.

When you were born again, the old you died. Your spirit – the essence of who you really are – was replaced by the Spirit of God. The great Apostle Paul said, "I am crucified with Christ." Galatians 2:20 (KJV) He understood that a truly born-again Christian has gone to the point of no return. That is the reality for every Christian. The remaining portion of that verse is also true, which says, "nevertheless, I live." Galatians 2:20 (KJV) You still live a life in the flesh. That is where the dilemma lies for many Christians.

We are in the deeper life phase, and you are responsible for presenting your own body as a living sacrifice. It is your duty to take it to the altar yourself. How? By killing every worldly desire. Whatever the world says is trending, fashionable, or "the norm" to do with your body that goes against the Word of God, don't do it! Instead, force your flesh to be a rebel for Christ. At first, you will not want to do it, but stay committed. By God's grace, you will be a holy trendsetter that others will want to follow.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I overcome every temptation and use my body for whatever God desires. I am going deeper in the things of the spirit, and God will not do anything without me. Hallelujah!
