Present Your Body As A Living Sacrifice

Based on what you do, I would love to talk about the following passage of Scripture. 'Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.' 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 https://www.bible.com/bible/59/1CO.6.19-20 or ' Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. ' 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 https://www.bible.com/bible/59/1CO.3.16-17 or ' I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. ' Romans 12:1-2 https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ROM.12.1-2 Based on these Scriptures, how has that impacted your physical body, eating, movement, sleep? What does it mean to present our bodies to God as a living sacrifice? Does God care about how we treat our bodies? How has your relationship with God influenced what you do as a health coach? What advice would you give to the woman listening that is struggling to surrender her physical body to Christ? What benefits have you experienced since you have been walking on this journey of surrendering all of you to Christ? What are some practical tips for the woman who wants to start taking small steps to live healthy and surrender to the Lord? How can people connect with you? https://rebekah.opta.pro/ Savor Moment: Healthy!

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, greek yogurt, canola oil, and vanilla until smooth. Add the flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix until there are no longer any clumps of flour. Add the hot coffee and mix until combined. The batter should be pourable, but not super thin. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using. 3. Pour the batter among the 2 cake pans and bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are just set and no longer wiggly in the center. Remove and let cool five minutes, then run a knife around the edges of the pan. Invert the cakes onto a cooling rack. Cover and let the cakes cool completely before frosting. For the Frosting: Melt together the butter, brown sugar, and cream in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved. Add a pinch of salt. Remove from the heat and add to the bowl of a stand mixer. Sift in the powdered sugar, then add the vanilla. Beat until well combined. The frosting should be glossy and pourable. If it feels too runny, add powdered sugar to thicken it.
