Transforming Life


What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,-.-.-.-and ye are not your own? —1 CORINTHIANS 6:19
When you were born again, the Spirit of God took up residence in you, and He imparted His very nature and being into your spirit. God left the man-made Holy of Holies and made you, the born-again believer, the temple of His presence.
You are in vital union with the Father. You have life in you today to transform your marriage, your relationship with your children, and your finances. There is life in you right now to heal your body. "In him was life; and the life was the light of men" (John 1:4). Take hold of this powerful truth today and begin to express His life.
We have been built up a holy habitation of the Lord, and He is building His dwelling place out of living stones. As His tabernacle, the presence of God goes wherever you go. You can bring those around you into His presence at any time and in any place. You bring life, healing, power, and deliverance into the lives of others through His indwelling presence. Is Jesus touching others through you?
Jesus, indwell me and overflow me touching all those 
around me. Teach me how to keep 
my temple holy for You. Amen.

Fear the Lord and Live!


Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.

Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when he said to me, "Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere (fear) me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children."
Deuteronomy 4:9,10 NIV 

Married to Christ

"You also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ,
that you may be married to another -- to Him who was raised from the
dead, that we should bear fruit to God."
ROMANS 7:4

You may wonder how this union with Jesus was accomplished. I do not
have the answer to that, but I consider it to be so because God
says it is so. God placed us in Christ. I do not fully understand
how He did this, but I know that He did it, and I thank God for it.
The Bible says that "because of [God] you are in Christ Jesus" (1
Corinthians 1:30).

Disciples of Jesus are one with Christ because God has placed us
there. We are in Christ, and Christ is in us. We may not understand
how this can be so, but it is so. We are spiritually one with
Christ. This oneness, this union, this partnership and fellowship
with Him is the basis of our spiritual life and our walk with God.

Remember, when people do things to hurt you, instead of cursing them out, bless them and pray for them. Make a decision to walk in LOVE even if no one else does. Make no mistake, there will always be those who are difficult to LOVE. Allow anger to motivate you to speak the TRUTH in LOVE, and watch GOD back you up every time. Amen.

The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
And patience is better than pride.
Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit
For anger resides in the lap of fools. - Ecclesiastes 7:8, 9

He Lifts Up the Humble

Psalm 147:2-6
The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel ... The LORD lifts up the 

Do you ever feel like an outcast because of your faith in God? This may, in fact, be a good thing. When life humbles us, we can allow the Lord to build us up.


humble"Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble."
