"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple." 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
"Do you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own." 1 Corinthians 6:19
WOW!!!
We are
- God's Residence!
- God's Address!
1. Purity
- The Holy Spirit only lives in cleansed places.
- We are cleansed from sins by the blood of Jesus
Matthew 12:34 says, "....out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks"
2. Presence of God
In 2 Corinthians 6:16, "..For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said : 'I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
John 14:16-21 says, "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. "
- Tabernacle of Moses
- Tabernacle of David
- Temple of Solomon
3. Praise & Prayer
Our spirit need to be in one with the spirit of God which is the Holy Spirit!! To be aligned with the Holy Spirit, we need to walk in the spirit and die to our flesh!
When our spirit is in one with the Spirit of God, we are filled with God's annointing and it makes it easier for us to hear God speak & easier for the Holy Spirit to guide & lead us each and every day.
Therefore, we need to build our inner man!! We need to edify our spirit, and scripture tells us that we build our spirit man by reading the word of God & praying in tongues (praying in the Spirit)!
- 2 Chronicles 7:1
Let our temple be filled!!
