Just a quick reminder, your body is the temple of God. You are His temple and the Spirit of the Lord dwells in you. Therefore do not chase God away by defiling your body and presenting it unclean. "Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship" Romans 12:1. Remember in Matthew 12:12-17 when Jesus came to the temple and saw people buying and selling goods, he was so troubled that he pushed down their tables and destroyed as much goods as he could. That's exactly what we are doing when we defile our body; we are using the house of God against what God has made it for.
So please ensure that you have not turned God's temple into something else. Keep it clean and holy because God is not a God of confusion. But if in the past, you've defiled yourself, confess your sins, ask for forgiveness and be renewed in Him. Now keep that body clean! "Do you not know that your bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought with a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies!" 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Grace and peace y'all.
