I was thinking about the Old Testament and how God resided in His Holy Dwelling-the Temple. It was the place where God chose to settle among His people. Especially if you look at the life of Moses or David or Solomon. Consistently God's presence settled in the Holy of Holies.
I then started thinking about the New Testament and how WE, people who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, are also a temple where the Lord Himself has chosen to settle and reside. We are His dwelling place!
Finally, I started thinking about the Church! The church should be a place where Dwelling meets Dwelling!!! The church should be the place where God meets people and people experience God! It should be a place where lives are supernaturally impacted by being in the presence of a living God!
It makes me wonder that if supernatural transformation is not happening within your church then is your church a place that allows the Lord to fully reside in it's dwelling? If not, I would strongly urge you to begin asking the Lord if there is any sin residing within the walls of the church that has chased away the settling of His presence!
It's time to wake up and start cleaning up our personal "Temples" as well as our corporate "Temples"! I truly believe that God desires to have the church be a place where Dwelling can meet Dwelling!!!
