Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose (that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life) and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
2 Corinthians 5:5 - NIV.
God wants you to have, by the Holy Spirit, a taste of what's ahead when your body has been redeemed. By the Holy Spirit you have a downpayment - a pledge and first instalment - on immortality! By the Holy Spirit God wants you to know a swallowing up of mortality in your body by the life of God that the Holy Spirit gives. (Romans 8:11)
I have a daily maintenance program. I begin each day in the presence of the Lord. I spend time worshipping Him, hearing from Him and interceding for others. He corrects me. He sets me straight on things. I give Him my cares and burdens. I also ask Him to revitalise and renew my mortal body by His Spirit that resides in me. He gives me a taste of immortality. My taste of immortality is His health!
Let the Holy Spirit give you a taste of immortality - His health.
