In this text, the apostle Paul speaks of the Body of Christ, of which we are members. It is very clear that God does not want us to be independent of Him, doing whatever we want. United by His Spirit, we can and must act as He pleases. We must lead all to understand that to live by faith means to seek the directions of the Most High and fulfill them in full. We need to be well adjusted in the position He has set.
For the Christian to be right in serving God, it is enough to examine his heart when acting differently from the Scriptures, for soon the Lord will make him perceive the error. So just ask for forgiveness and do not do that anymore. But you must strive, because the evil one will do everything to convince you to return to sin, giving the most varied excuses. The devil wants you always to be misfit.
Be sure to heed the Lord’s touches in your spirit, unless you do not mind losing yourself forever. Perdition begins slowly and if one does not listen to God and continue to do something wrong for whatever reason, one day, he will not feel that he is sinning. Thus, Satan will possess him completely. Now, be wise not to lose your salvation or give your days to the enemy.
The saved are parts of the Body of Christ, so they should watch and pray not to enter into temptation. The kingdom of darkness will invest much to make them lose themselves. In this way, the evil one will have permanent “food.” God accomplishes himself in doing good, and the devil accomplishes himself in doing evil. Divine precepts are like food to those who practice them, and sin is a disease that weakens all joints. We need to get it right!
When the Lord “tightens the screw,” do not shout, rejoice. He knows what to do and how to treat you, so that you produce more for the Kingdom. The Most High wishes to see you adjusted, to be a person freed from temptations and afflictions. When you accept temptation, you receive suffering. The enemy never fails to charge his favor, but the heavenly Father is good and faithful!
As long as each part of your being – soul, body and spirit – is not regulated, there will be the operation of the enemy. Therefore, never rebel against the correction of the Lord, for He interferes in your life for your good. The Body of Christ will increase when you are well and producing according to the operation of the Heavens. The increase of the Body means promotion and blessings from God for us.
Live in a holy way, fulfilling what God has commanded you. Thus, you will be built in love. Why stay in pain? Do not let the devil get you out of the divine presence. Make your future beautiful!
In Christ, with love,

God, our Edifier in love! We are parts of the Body of Jesus, so adjust us so we can be connected to You and fulfill the conditions to enjoy Your promises.
May the operation of Your power in us take place with Your mastery and skill! We come to Your presence, in the Name of Jesus, to receive Your adjustment where it is necessary. We want to do good!
May our lives collaborate with the increase of Your Body. In this way we will be edified in love and our coming into the world will be justified. If we do not do the best in faith, why come to Your Kingdom? Use us for Your glory and honor!
