You House More than You Know in Your Body

We are the Lord’s temple individually and collectively. He dwells in our newly re-created human spirit. It is why we must keep our bodies in good shape. We like getting our house tidy before guests come to visit. Well, we have a permanent guest who’s worthy of a clean house. Staying in shape exercising, eating properly, and getting the proper rest when needed is keeping our temple correctly for the Lord’s use. When we come together in church the Lord dwells in all of us at the same time. This brings much faith into one area so God can manifest His Spirit and minister to us the way we need it most. We can stir up the gift inside us individually, and allow God’s presence to fill us to overflow (2 Timothy 1:6). We are containers of a precious treasure (2 Corinthians 4:7). We are more than just body, mind, and soul. You are a spirit first, you have a soul and you live in a body. Once your body dies, your spirit continues. Our body is for functionality on the earth. Our minds, our soul-ish area, is the control center, and we physically get things done using our bodies. But our body houses the Holy Spirit where God lives in us, so be Christ inside minded, and use the benefits of His presence.
