Hello Beloved Brethren in Love, I Know You Are Growing In The Love & Knowledge Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I want you  to take out time and read today's series intensively,

                           GOD LIVES BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION ( VOL 1) part 3

Luke  21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

   We have established the fact yesterday that Jesus Christ lives in our hearts which is our spirit, we also read from the Pauline Gospels how that he referred to us a Gods building, God's temple, today we'll travel deeper into the word and unravel more mysteries.

Jesus speaking to his disciples in the four gospels told them in John  2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
This message Jesus was conveying to them was that a time will come when God will now live in a man and make him his temple, they never seems to understand spiritual realities, remember I said yesterday that the New Testament is founded in the spirit which is the death,burial & ressurection of our Lord Jesus Christ, while the Old Testament was founded on physical things, animal sacrifices, superstitious beliefs, unbelief, etc. 

Paul in the epistles is always communicating to us deep things of God revealed  which was hidden right form the foundation of time, while Jesus was communicating to his disciples concerning this particular temple,he referred to him self as the temple, John  2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

This particular temple needed to be destroyed in order to rebuild new ones, God was in old time like an alien to the Israelites but he wanted to build new temples,new men where he can live in the quarters of their heart, and therefore Jesus has to abolish the temple of law and sin and birth forth a new temple of Grace where God is seated,the scripture say in Hebrews 4:16   Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

That throne is in the quarters of your heart,I know you are thinking of a physical throne, that's the natural mind,see in spiritual terms,throne there represents a place of authority, where one exercises authority/power, that same place gives you a mindset of sonship where you no longer think over your past and the physical things,
it tells you,of the direct access you have with God, right inside you, and so when the scriptures says come boldly is a fact telling you to know your place of authority, if God was in a physical place all these wouldn't have been.

Do you remember in the old testament where the priest always go to offer sacrifices, to plead for the sins of the people, that physical place was called the holy of holies,they always believe God lives inside there and therefore no one enters anyhow except the priest, this was a typology of what is to come, and they real substance came when Jesus appeared,died,buried and ressurected and gave birth to us.

We became a living temple for God to live and reign from, let me show you in the scriptures this truth,let's look at Revelation 1:6   And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

This same truth appears 3 times in Revelation. This still establishes that facts.
Revelation 5:10   And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Revelation 20:6   Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Going deeper into this scriptures let me pieces them one after the other to make you understand the mind of God.
When he said a priest, what does a priest do; a priest is one separated (holy) unto God, he hears God as though God lives with him, he is the one who enters the holy of holies as at the old covenant, and so when Jesus died the scripture says the veil which covers the physical temple torn off and God was no more there,God was now interested in building a new place by himself to live and rule from there, at the time Jesus ressurected Mary was about touching new temple built by Christ and Christ told her no, Jesus had to show the father the new temple as a priest he was,and immediately Jesus ressurected he brought forth a new body,an indestructible temple where God lives and the scriptures says any man in Christ is a new creation, the old building has gone,behold it is built a new one. 

We are now a priest where God offer praises from,reaches out from etc and a king where he rules at the quarters of our heart. 

God spoke to Ezekiel and said in Ezekiel 36:26   A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
And in the epistles he said he will write his word in our hearts, Hebrews 10:16   This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
The word of God is God which therefore in reality means he lives in your heart.
God has found a new place to stay, he no more stay in the ark of covenant, holies of holies he lives in you now. Hallelujah

Celebrate what Christ has done in and through you, you are a God carrier, you are the embassy of God,he operates through you,he talks through you,reaches out through you,therefore you cannot be sick,poor,afraid when you have this knowledge, this is why Paul says in 2 Timothy 3:16   All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Don't let any man tell you that you are posses of demon,don't let anyone tell you that you have inherited a family disease, generational cures,for a man who God lives in cannot be all these.
That's was why Paul said in his Gospels that you are "more than a conqueror"
Rest in his finished works and you'll enjoy his Grace..

We'll continue with the next series tomorrow to establish more truth that God lives in you beyond heaven's mentality.
