1 Chronicles 28:20 Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the Lord is finished correctly.”
Thus saith the Lord:
Do not miss this. You are My Temple. When you enter into relationship with Me, when you accept Me as your Lord and Savior, when you choose to have faith in Me, to walk in obedience to Me, to be adopted into My family – then you become My Temple. You become the dwelling place for My Holy Spirit. I am in you. Again, I am in you. Where you walk, I walk. What you hear, I hear. What you see, I see. What you engage in I become engaged in. What you choose to do, I am taken along. What you choose to say, I am involved in. Your thoughts enter into My Temple. Do not miss this. Your thoughts, words, actions, attitudes – all of these things either improve the atmosphere of the Temple, or harm it. You are either improving My dwelling place or destroying it. Remember what I have told you so many times – everything you think, say, do, believe, focus upon ….everything ….has spiritual implications. Spiritual battles are everywhere, in all things. Are you preparing yourself for battle in all things? Are you protecting the sanctity of My Temple – of yourself – for you are My Temple? You of all My children are very well aware of the evil that surrounds you at all times. You are more aware daily of the subtleties your enemy uses to distract you, to change your attitude, to defeat your heart. He wants nothing more than to destroy My Temple within you. To distance you from Me. To cut off our relationship. No quarter, Child. You cannot afford to be inattentive – ever. When I am working on you, when I am disciplining you, when I am training you, when I am instructing you, when I am allowing you to experience strife, hardship, ugliness, stress….in all of those circumstances I am working on My Temple – you. So, as David told My people – do the work. Do not be afraid. Do not allow yourself to become discouraged. I am working on My Temple – remember that being chosen to be My Temple is an honor and something you want to be attentive to. Allow Me to work, and actively participate in that work, so that the work will be finished correctly.
