Many of you are prepared for this season of assignment and acceleration. You have been through a time of training and now the race is on! However, I speak to those in My Body, who still need to lay aside every vestige of disappointment, heaviness and frustration that would weigh you down. I need your soul to prosper and for your emotions to be healthy so that they do not derail you in the days ahead.
Come, sit with Me and allow Me to lift those burdens and bring healing to your heart, so that you can run the race of faith with endurance and not be distracted from My purposes for your life.
My Beloved, I also desire for you to enjoy good health so that you’re fit and strong to stay in the race. Do not neglect your physical body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Ask Me about your nutrition, hydration, exercise and movement. Allow Me to show you what and how to build those things into your life. Take time to rest and recover and allow your body to restore and heal. I am Your Heavenly Father, and I long for you to thrive in every season of your life.
Activation:
Spend time thanking God that He cares about every aspect of your life and ask Him to show you if there is any ‘weight’ you need to lay aside, healing to receive and/or any lifestyle changes you need to make. Are there new habits or disciplines to develop? This may take time to work through so ask the Lord for a plan, if appropriate. Take small steps towards emotional and physical wellbeing and stay on the journey! Remember, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 (AMP)
Jesus, the Example
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of [a]witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us,

The Body Is the Lord’s
19 Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own,
20 You were bought with a price [purchased with a [a]preciousness and paid for, [b]made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (AMPC)
