Spiritual Integration
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 1 Corinthians 6:19
"Sanctify your body" basically means "get in shape." If you want God to use you, you've got to get in shape. Because the better shape you are in, the more energy you'll have and the more God can use you.
Psalm 119:73 says, "Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments" (MEV). God set up the principles of good health. He doesn't just want you to have a pure heart. He wants your body to be in shape so He can use you more effectively.
Eyes
I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman. --Job 31:1
My son, give me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways. --Proverbs 23:26
Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. --Luke 11:34
Ears
Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required. Psalm 40:6
"Incline your ear and come to Me Listen, that you may live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, According to the faithful mercies shown to David. Isaiah 55:3
Nose
And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:2 ESV
To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?2 Corinthians 2:16
Mouth
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.Ephesians 4:29
