Today's "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers is another great reminder to us!
The Temple Of The Holy Ghost
Only in the throne will I be greater than thou. — Genesis 41:40
I have to account to God for the way in which I rule my body
under His domination. Paul said he did not “frustrate the grace of God” — make
it of no effect. The grace of God is absolute, the salvation of Jesus is
perfect, it is done for ever. I am not being saved, I am saved; salvation is as
eternal as God’s throne; the thing for me to do is to work out what God works
in. “Work out your own salvation”; I am responsible for doing it. It means that
I have to manifest in this body the life of the Lord Jesus, not mystically, but
really and emphatically. “I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection.”
Every saint can have his body under absolute control for God. God has made us
to have government over all the temple of the Holy Spirit, over imaginations
and affections. We are responsible for these, and we must never give way to
inordinate affections. Most of us are much sterner with others than we are in
regard to ourselves; we make excuses for things in ourselves whilst we condemn
in others things to which we are not naturally inclined.
“I beseech you,” says Paul, “present your bodies a living
sacrifice.” The point to decide is this — “Do I agree with my Lord and Master
that my body shall be His temple?” If so, then for me the whole of the law for
the body is summed up in this revelation, that my body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost.
AMEN! What are YOU allowing to go on in YOUR temple? We have the final authority over our lives! We must make the wise choices in order to lead our best life here! Here is Hillsong with "Children of the Light", because that IS who we are - IN HIM!
Shalom in Him!
