PHYSICAL ALIGNMENT – MANIFESTATION
I. REPRESENTATION – Your Body displays God “TO” His Creation
• God has Dominion over His Creation – Displayed by Us
Genesis 1:26–27 . . . Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (We are higher than the animals)
• God seeks to Redeem everyone – Displayed by Us
2 Corinthians 5:20 . . . Now then, we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, “BE RECONCILED” to God.
1. They Represent the King, Not Themselves
2. They Carry the Culture of Their Kingdom
3. They Establish Their Kingdom’s Interests in Foreign Territory
4. They Are Not Controlled by the Culture They Are Sent Into
5. Their Provision Comes From Their Kingdom, Not Their Environment
• God seeks to do Good to everyone– Displayed by Us
Matthew 5:14–16 . . . “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand,
and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your GOOD WORKS and glorify your Father in heaven.
Ephesians 2:10 . . . For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for GOOD WORKS, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
II. REFLECTION – Your Body displays God’s “WAYS” in creation
• God’s way is Rhythm, Order, Relationship, Interdependence, Harmony, Purpose, Governance, and Fruitfulness.
Psalm 139:14 . . . I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
1 Corinthians 12:12 & 26 . . . For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ . . . 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
III. Creation – Your Body brings God’s “WILL” into creation
• Your body is the bridge between Revelation and Realization
James 2:14–17 . . . What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
- Your body is the stage where Invisible Faith becomes Visible Reality
- God designed your body to be The Executor of the spirit’s convictions.
- Your body is the “Proof” of alignment
IV. HABITATION – Your Body hosts God’s “PRESENCE” within creation
• Two Spirits—One Space
1 Corinthians 6:19–20 . . . Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
• The Spirit doesn't merely “Occupy” the body — He “Governs” it
Romans 8:9–11 . . . But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead WILL ALSO GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES through His Spirit who dwells in you.
