God Inside
By
Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin
"Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at
Corinth] are God's temple (His sanctuary), and that God's Spirit has
His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a
church and also individually]? (1 Cor. 3:16 AMP).
God Himself, after He makes us new creatures, actually makes our
bodies His home. No longer does He dwell in an earth-made Holy of
Holies. God says, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost which is in you?" (1 Cor. 6:19).
We need to become mindful that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit -
we have God inside of us!
Chiseled on the front of a beautiful church in Texas is an Old
Testament scripture declaring that the building was the temple of God.
I get provoked every time I drive by.
Why? Because these people have a lie right on the front of their
church building!
To say that a church building is the house of God because He dwells
there, is incorrect. God doesn't dwell in a church building. If we
mean that a church building is the house of God because it has been
dedicated to God, that is correct.
But we must be careful not to confuse spiritual things with natural
things. Therefore, we must be careful to state spiritual things as
they really are.
Your body is the house or temple of God - not the building where you
worship. Remembering this fact will help you in your obedience and in
your faith.
Confession: God Himself in the Person of the Holy Spirit indwells
me. The Creator dwells in me. God lives in me.
