Are you fully committed to be GOD’S habitation here on earth?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 6:
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Jesus was the Dwelling place of GOD while He was in His earthly ministry.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s Name, they bear witness of Me.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
27 My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
28 And I give them Eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My Hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s Hand.
30 I and My Father are One.”
You and I are called to also be One with FATHER not only in spirit, but also in our soul and body. I was never shown this in the teachings during my earl years as a believer. However, revelation is progressive over time. The more I immerse myself in The Word, the more revelation I receive.
When I was young, I was determined to do things “my way”. Now my focus is to only do things “HIS Way”! My priorities have changed and what used to be important is no longer of any consequence.
How can Jesus present FATHER with a bride who has spot or wrinkle?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:
23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is Head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Each of us must ask the question, “Am I subject to Christ in everything?”
25 Husbands, Love your wives, just as Christ also Loved the church and gave Himself for her,
26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the Word,
The Word is the only means of being fully cleansed and it is progressive in nature. It is like peeling back layers of an onion until we get to the innermost core where the root of our soul must be cleansed. As this happens, our body responds.
27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be Holy and without blemish. 30 For we are members of His Body, of His Flesh and of His Bones.
It is my belief that we are in the “last days of the last days”. We need only to observe what is happening all around us. When will the harpazo occur? I don’t know but I am not willing to risk being disqualified in any manner. It is vital that each of us be led by The Holy Spirit and not be counted among the five unwise virgins who allowed their oil to be depleted!
