Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3 v 17 - 20: "But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
1 Corinthians 3 v 16 - 17: "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple Ye are."
A Temple is a place where God meets man, and is worshipped by man. A place that is holy and set apart for God's purpose and delight. When you are born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, God indwells you. This is His continual relationship with you within the temple of YOU.
It is a sacred place that we must keep spotless and undefiled. There is a list of things which must not be found in God's temple as they do not belong to His kingdom.
1 Corinthians 6 v 9 - 10 : "Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covettous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
No matter how many countries make laws for permitting gay marriage and churches appoint gay clergy, they will plead in vain to enter in at the gates of Heaven. The latest laws being passed in the USA are that without parental knowledge or consent children have the right to be whatever gender they want and to have sex change surgery. In South Africa the law states that girls from the age of 12 may have an abortion without parental knowledge or consent.
Since when does the State take ownership over our children? When did we surrender our rights to educators to confuse our children? Friends of mine in Los Angeles had their 15 year old daughter removed from her home to a foster home because when a teacher asked the class how their parents would react if they were pregnant, she said audibly, "They would kill me!" Not meaning murder of course, just exaggerating their response. It took them two years of expensive court cases to get her back home.
The Antichrist is alive and well on this planet and his agenda to mock the Word of God is well advanced. He controls governments through the Illuminati. One of their organs is the WEF or World Economic Forum. Heads of State meet annually to receive instruction on how to keep their citizens under State control through poverty, lack, dependency on grants. These governments being so corrupt and compromised, Satan's evil works are made easy.
We want everything that Almighty God has promised us and freely given but T's and C's apply. (Terms and Conditions). The list in the verse from Corinthians above is what must be excluded from our temple to receive the blessings God promised to the children of Abraham. The list of blessings appears in Deuteronomy 28 v 1 - 14, and very desirable it is too.
The Lord is making it very clear that there is a dividing line between right and wrong. No matter what the world offers in exchange, those promises are empty and are really temptations to lure and distract you from your true relationship with God in your temple.
Jesus was tempted for 40 days by Satan in the wilderness after His baptism. Hebrews says He was tempted in every way that a human can be tempted yet He never sinned because He never yielded to that temptation.
He did this as a baptised human man to show us that water baptism gives us the ability to resist Satan. We still have a free will but any bad habit or wrongful lifestyle CAN be conquered by faith in Jesus and obedience to Him.
Revelations 2 and 3 talks about those who are the overcomers. They have overcome falseness of every kind. In chapter 3 v 12 Jesus says: "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of My God...." Which means that the overcomer will have great power and strength to hold others up to keep them from falling into the traps satan has set.
Ephesians 2 v 19 - 22 : Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."
So let us from today seek to improve our temple through submission, obedience, love, kindness, truth and being spiritually correct. Let our worship be pure and undefiled as we keep our bodies free of sinful behaviour to the glory of God. If we are free of sin we are walking in divine health, like Jesus did.
We need to earnestly pray for the Holy Spirit to guide us into how we can protect our children, our finances, our beliefs, our very lives. The one world currency is ready to be rolled out. A digital currency controlled by a Central Bank, controlled by WEF. It's called CBDC. Central Bank Digital Currency.
Through these CBDC'S, which are controlled by computers, whatever we think we are worth can be changed in an instant. The government can block our access to our funds, causing futile run on banks as happened recently in Nigeria. Banks are failing through massive debts and being replaced with this new currency.
They can restrict our movements by limiting how far we can drive to purchase goods. This saves fuel, and we will get bargains only in those nearby areas. Buying goods online for courier delivery is already very popular. Eventually we will be conditioned to be isolated in our homes like the lockdown when the pandemic started.
We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit and Satan hates us as he cannot control us or usurp authority over us. We need to reach the lost while we still can. Satan cannot wait for the Rapture to take us away as then there will be no resistance to his full control. Jesus needs us to prioritize spreading the gospel. My task is to use digital means to send out these blogs and hope you will share them far and wide.
Prayer: Heavenly Father we are a work in progress and not perfect yet. We thank You for Your love and patience. We want our temple to be a delight to You. Please help us make it so. Anoint us to draw people to You to escape the fast approaching darkness. In Jesus' name. Amen.
