Romans 12:1-2
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Making Right ChoicesIs Detoxing a Right Choice
Romans 12:1 -2 (AMP)
1Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.
This involves the body (Roman. 12:1; I Cor. 6:20)
It is with the body that actions conceived in the mind are carried out;
2 And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs] but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].
And the mind (Romans12:2)
and with the mind that they are formulated.
That which is conceived in the mind is carried out (or birthed) in the body, therefore, one’s
whole being must be presented by a decisive act of the will to God for His service.
Is Detoxing A Right Choice?WHY DO I NEED TO DETOX BY BODY?
Because our air, waterand even food have become so contaminated, our bodies can no longer cope.
The evidence is seen through -
Obesity,
Heart disease,
Mental disorders,
Cancer and other diseases
What does God Say About Detoxing?No, your body is not your own; it is on loan from God.
1 Corinthians 3:16–17: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? “If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
HIT THE RESET LIFE BUTTON
“DETOX“ stands for “detoxification” and is used to refer to
a medical process that rids the body of alcohol, drugs, or
poisons. A detox helps rebalance the gut bacteria, aid the
liver in eliminating these toxins from the body, gives the
other organs a rest, and lets the body refuel with lots of
healthy nutrients.
Understanding Detox vs Cleanse vs. Purification
Think of the differences between these three reset programs as a tiered approach to wellness
maintenance.
Purification: Spirit
This addresses a potential problem with toxins circulating in the bloodstream. Toxins can be removed through sweating, increased hydration, and healthy nutritional choices.
Cleanse: SoulThis addresses the potential cleansing for gastrointestinal (GI)
function. This cleaning is called a “gut cleaning”. A cleansing
reset program might simply aim to prevent or decrease toxin
exposure and absorption.
Understanding detox vs. cleanse vs. purification and
selecting the right “reset program” for the right
person can be difficult with all the various nutritional
approaches. Which is the best option for a person
looking to hit the “reset life” button?
Metabolic Detoxification support: BodyThis addresses the more complex situation of both
circulating toxins and toxins stored within the body cells,
mainly fat cells. A more powerful “reset program” is needed
for proper toxin removal and it includes activating these
three phases of the body’s natural detox process.

Toxins that are stored can surface within the body and
defile it? They do NOT hibernate, naturally or
spiritually.
Stored toxins are not in hibernation: they can
inhibit cellular function, and they need to be
removed.
The presence of toxins stored in the body’s
cells, not just circulating in the bloodstream,
requires a robust RESET program.
Matthew 7:16 -20
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringethforth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringethnot forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Galatians 5:19-23
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

“When we allow these feelings to

“But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your
trespasses.”
Matthew 6:15
Jeremiah 17:9-10
The heart is deceitful above all
things, and desperately wicked: who
can know it?
I the Lord search the heart, I try the
reins, even to give every man
according to his ways, and according
to the fruit of his doings.
Proverbs 4:23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for
out of it are the issues of life.

“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me”
Psalm 66:18
Failing to forgive, will always put your prayers on hold, and they will remain there until you decide to forgive those
who trespass against you.

• Forgiveness is a matter of life or death
• Nothing bruises, and kills the life of the church of the living God like an unforgiving spirit
• It is impossible to have PEACE of MIND and FREEDOM of SPIRIT without forgiving from the heart.
FORGIVENESS PRAYER
I am going to make a consciencous decision to no longer be dominated
by what has happened to me, and with the Jesus
kind of love, I freely forgive every offender and offense. I will not
maximize them or minimize them, I will
FORGIVE.
Excerpt from Bishop Clifton Jones’ book, Forgive- God’s Medicine for the Whole Family was used throughout this presentation.

CALL TO ACTION: DETOX PRAYER Psalm 51:1-10
1Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according
unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that
thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou
judgest.
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou
shalt make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be
whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast
broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me.
