"Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don't belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary" (I Corinthians 6:19 The Passion Translation). We have been created as temples for the presence of God to dwell. God desires to take up residence in us so that He can live through us. Unfortunately, most of us have allowed our "houses" to become wastelands, dumping grounds, smoke houses, brothels, and the like, making it difficult for the Spirit of God to thrive. As a result, our temples become soiled by our life's choices and our inability or lack of desire to hollow ourselves out to make room for God to fulfill His glory in our lives. Our houses are leaning. Our houses are falling apart. Our houses are often uninhabitable for God. God is on the hunt for houses that are ready to receive Him and make space for His glory to rest, rule, and abide.
