Shalom,
Today I want to share again from Oswald Chambers' "My Utmost For His Highest". This is SO good!
The Temple
Of The Holy Spirit.
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 Spirit.
Our GOD has already done everything that needs to be done for US to live, truly live, in the LIGHT of HIS WORD! Make HIM your #1 priority in every decision your make and in all that you do! THEN Holy Spirit will be able to lead, guide, and direct you in the way that you should go in order to walk in THE BLESSING that is on your life as a born again believer! Remember that JESUS said this in John 10:10!
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).AMEN! As you celebrate, think about using THIS song from Hillsong Worship called "That's The Power":
Shalom in Him!
