THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:

“And he taught them and said, does not the scripture say: my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples? But you have turned it into a bandits den” (Mk.11:17)

This is clear definition of the fact that all we do in life [habits, career, vocation, thoughts, emotions, passions, visualizations, reading, hubbies e.t.c ] is a prayer to God said by you or others admiring or observing you (“only be careful that this freedom of yours does not in any way turn into an obstacle to trip those who are vulnerable” 1 Cor.8:9; ‘talk and behave like people who are going to be judged by the law of freedom. Whoever acts without mercy will be judged without mercy but mercy can afford to laugh at judgment’ James 2:12-13) either with pleasing fragrance that opens the flood windows of heaven for blessings {‘you love uprightness and detest evil. This is why God, your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness, as none of your rivals’ Heb.1:9} or abhorrent which marks us with signs of betrayal (‘…and those who despise me will be an object of contempt’ 1 Sam.2:30), rejection {“I regret having made Saul King, since he has broken his allegiance to me and not carried out my orders…”}, fear [‘that is why you must take up all God’s armor or you will not be able to put any resistance on the evil day or stand your ground even though you exert yourselves to the full’ Eph.6:13] and enmity with God (“Adulterers! Do you not realize that love for the world is hatred for God? Anyone who chooses the world for a friend is constituted an enemy of God” James 4:4) since we all have been confirmed as image of God (‘God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them’ Gen.1:27) and the temple of the Holy Spirit {“do you not realize that you are a temple of God with the Holy Spirit of God living in you? If anyone should destroy the temple of God, God will destroy that person, because God’s temple is holy and you are that temple” 1 Cor.3:16-17}

He does not make empty treats [‘the Glory of Israel, however, does not lie or go back on his word, not being human and liable to go back on his word’ 1 Sam.15:29, Num.16:31-35, Mk.13:31, Heb.12:29 ‘for our God is a consuming fire’, “A third angel followed shouting aloud, all those who worship the beast and his statue or have had themselves branded on the hand or forehead will be made to drink the wine of God’s fury which is ready undiluted in his cup of retribution; in fire and brimstone they will be tortured in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb and the smoke of their torture will rise forever and ever. There will be no respite, night or day, for those who worship the beast or its statue or accept branding with its name” Rev.14:9-11] knowing full well that worshipping the beast and having its mark involves all disobedience to God’s law in thoughts, words, actions, dressing, negligence to the intuitions and counsel of the Holy Spirit e.t.c thus ‘there are six things that God hates, seven that he abhors: a haughty look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that weaves wicked plots, feet that hurry to do evil, a false witness who lies with every breath and one who sows dissension among brothers’ (Prov.6:16-19) i.e your dressing, pictures as well as videos on the internet or streets what does it portray {igniting desire for righteousness in you and on-lookers; Mtt.5:27-28} as well as your gaze on others body/parts of the body, pictures, videos e.t.c on the streets/phones/laptops what spirit is encouraged (1 Cor.10:31), is lying a hubby/mistake to you? {‘but the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and sexually immoral and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur’ Rev.21:8}

He does not, has not and will never change (Mal.3:6, Heb.13:8)

Thus let those still indulging in sin/sinful desires and wicked impulses note “God made everything for its own purpose, yes even the wicked for the day of disaster” [Prov.16:4], ‘then he will say to those on his left hand, Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels’ Mtt.25:41, “then the devil, who led them astray, was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet are and their torture will not come to an end, day or night, forever and ever” Rev.20:10” then make amends thus ‘do not allow yourselves to be shaped by the passions of your old ignorance but as obedient children, be yourselves holy in all your activity after the model of the Holy One who calls us, since scripture says, Be holy for I am holy’ 1 Pet.1:14-16, “No foul word should ever cross your lips; let your words be for the improvement of the others, as occasion offers and do good to your listeners; do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God who has marked you with his seal, ready for the day when we shall be set free. Any bitterness or bad temper or anger or shouting or abuse must be far removed from you – as must every kind of malice. Be generous to one another, sympathetic, forgiving each other as readily as god forgave you in Christ” (Eph.4:29-32)

Those who are still yearning as well as standing on the truth “Everyone, no matter how firmly he thinks he is standing, must be careful he does not fall” [1 Cor.10:12], ‘My brothers, never slacken in doing what is right’ {2 Thess.3:13}, “I am coming soon: hold firmly to what you already have and let no one take your victor’s crown away from you” (Rev.3:11), ‘this is why there must be perseverance in the saints who keep the commandments of God and faith in Jesus’ {Rev.14:12}, because “nothing unclean may come into it: no one who does what is loathsome or false, but only those who are listed in the Lamb’s book of life’ (Rev.21:27)

For those hiding under the umbrella of religiosity and clauses like ‘nobody is seeing me’, “there is still time”, ‘I have got to live my life the way I want’, ‘I am rich I do not need God’, “I am Holy others are sinners and should go to hell” to commit heinous sins, abominations and wickedness remember ‘…I know about your behavior: how you are reputed to be alive and yet are dead’ (Rev.3:1), “I know about your activities: how you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were one or the other but since you are neither hot nor cold, but only lukewarm. I will spit you out of my mouth. You say to yourself: I am rich, I have made fortune and have everything I want, never realizing that you are wretchedly and pitiably poor and blind and naked too. I warn you, buy from me the gold that has been tested in the fire to make you truly rich and white robes to clothe you and hide your shameful nakedness and ointment to put on your eyes to enable you to see. I reprove and train those whom I love: so repent in real earnest…” {Rev.3:15-22}.
