5 Day Cleanse Experiment – After Day 2

Cleanse After Day 2The word cleanse is used in the Bible (NASB) 69 times.  As I looked through several of these verses I was reminded of the passage in 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. The word says that  “..Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit..”  How well are we taking care of that temple?

Sometimes the lack of care can be linked to a sin of selfishness, gluttony, etc. Maybe there are foods that you are addicted to that are literally destroying your temple.  In any case, we must remember that God wants to use every part of us for His glory and He deserves this free reign in light of all He has done for us.  Turn from any sins you commit against your body (temple) and pursue Christ.  You are master over your body

The longer I live the more I desire to diligently make sure that I am in full submission to God in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.  This takes work and can seem exhausting at times.  You will succeed when the effort is driven by a love for our Savior and a continued focus on Him.  I continue to pray often for all of you reading that you may experiences the surpassing knowledge of the depths of Christ’s love.

After Day 2

2 Days down and feeling great!  Yesterday included 3 Digest + Cleanse capsules, 3 shakes, 2 oz of Ningxia Red (3 times), Water, 1 pear, celery, Almond Butter, and 1/2 C Blueberries.  My hunger is way better than I thought it would be and no headache for day two.  I had plenty of energy to complete my normal core strengthening, 1.5 mi jog/walk as well as fixing 2 projects of broken doors in the house.  I slept well again last night.  I will say this: When they indicate that you may experience some gas they mean it.  There are all kinds of changes going in stomach-wise with the cleanse and it definitely has an impact.    Looking forward to living Day 3!
