Today’s Encouragement is 1 Corinthians 3:16 NLT Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
You are God’s temple-
Pretty clear, huh? There is now no external, physical Temple of God which we are to ‘go to’ in order to meet God or to hear His voice… because He lives within us! The church you attend (hopefully) is not God’s temple. No, You are that Temple!
Sadly, many deny this truth, minimizing the significance of His Spirit dwelling in our lives… and within those lives His Spirit certainly lies dormant, awaiting a day of surrender, an opportunity of clarity, for this person to ‘come to himself’ as the prodigal did (Luke 15:17), and to realize that…
God is WITH me (Immanuel), He is FOR me! He will never leave me nor forsake me! He is my Strength, my Protector, my Ever-present help! He is all I ever need, and He lives within me!
God’s Spirit dwells, lives, remains, works, acts, and speaks… within you!
We can ignore Him and die… or we can listen, sense, follow, and obey Him! The choice is always ours. The results of the choice… is life or death!
Lord God Help us to recognize and learn that we are Your temple, Your dwelling place, Your home! We choose to Believe Your Word.
Where could I go from Your Spirit
