SUBJECT YOUR BODY TO HIS DIVINE INFLUENCE
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11).

One way to subject your body to the divine influence of the Holy Spirit is through praying in the Spirit. It improves your health or keeps you in divine health. That’s because through speaking in tongues you activate the latent power of the spirit.

Recall what we read in our opening scripture; it says if the Holy Spirit takes up His abode in you, He will vitalize or make alive your previously death-doomed body. In other words, whereas your body was going in the direction of death prior to receiving the Holy Ghost, now that you’ve received the Holy Ghost, your journey is life unto life. Glory to God!

Let’s read how the Lord Jesus demonstrated it. Luke 9:29 says, “And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.” I love this. His physical countenance was altered as He prayed. What was happening? The power of the Holy Ghost manifested in His physical body and impacted on His clothes to make them glitter.

That’s the same experience He expects you to have when you pray: Currents of spiritual electricity coursing through your being! It’s the work of the Holy Spirit. How can you pray that way and experience sickness in your body? Every one of us who has received the Holy Spirit has this power within us.

We have to become acquainted with this inner power, the inner force of the Spirit of God inside us. Acknowledge this work of the Spirit in your life; that's one of the keys. By acknowledging that work of the Spirit, you give yourself over to it. The more you do this, the less problems you’ll have with your physical body, because you're getting your body supercharged with the Holy Ghost.

There’re things you may have observed in your body, maybe some pain, some abnormal situation, some growth or inflammation; the more you subject your body to the influence of the Holy Spirit through prayer, the more those things pass out of your body. The Holy Ghost sanctifies your body; He perambulates your body and makes manifest the life of Christ in your physical body. Think about that!

This is God's will, plan, and purpose for you: The life of Christ manifest in your body—not only in your spirit and in your soul. That means no growth is allowed in your body; no inflammations, no abrasions, no rashes. Hallelujah! Put this to work and you’ll live perpetually in divine health. Blessed be God!

Prayer / Confession
The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me and has made my body alive. The life of Christ is manifest in every fiber of my being. My body is sanctified, energized and preserved by the power of the Holy Spirit. I live above sickness, disease and infirmities. Divine health is my permanent experience. Glory to God!
