Are you really the temple of the Holy Spirit (1Corinthians 3.16; 6.19; 2Corinthians 6.16)? So, the place isn’t important!!!

  • “*Jerusalem has grievously sinned, therefore she has been removed*. All knowing her despise her because they saw her nakedness; yea, she sighs and turns backward.” (Lamentations 1.8).

Jerusalem’s people was removed from their place because they sinned. Although this is terrible, if we are with Jesus we don’t need to worry about it, because of the following promise:

  • “And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God” (Revelation 21.3).

Although the thorough fulfillment of this will go down after the millennium, we can experience this now, namely:

  • We can be the tabernacle of God is with men, that is to say, we can and should be the place where Jesus meet with whom He wish;
  • He promised dwell with us (Matthew 28.20; 1John 2.27), to wit, to establish a relationship in which He solaces us, loves us, works His will within us (Philippians 2.12,13).
  • We can be His people (Psalms 100.3), since we receive on us the image and likeliness of the Creator that all human being lost when sinned;
  • God Himself can be with us, that is to say, who He really is, and not what we fancy or desire that He is. His presence isn’t to be symbolical, metaphorical or passive (only looking on without doing anything). He longs for teaching us everything we need to know (Isaiah 48.17-19)
  • Jesus can be our God, that is to say, all the satisfaction of our heart (Psalms 37.4).

So, have a incredible day making difference where you are:

  • Are you in a desert? Can Jesus make to flow streams of water where you are (Isaiah 41.17,18; John 7.37-39);
  • Are you in a murkiness? Be the light of the world (Matthew 5.14-16; John 8.12; 9.5);
  • Are you in a “sick” waters (see Exodus 15.23; 2Kings 2.19)? Can Jesus heal the waters through you (see Exodus 15.25,26; 2Kings 2.20,21; Ezekiel 47.8-10);
In short: be Jesus’ miracle pursuant to what people need.
