For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: “I will live in them and walk among them.  I will be their God, and they will be my people. (from Corinthians)

Temple – a building devoted to the worship, or regarded as the dwelling place, of a god or gods or other objects of religious reverence.

It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. (from Isaiah)

Robe – a long loose outer garment; clothed in a robe, “the Chamberlain robed the king on coronation day”

As I read the Bible I’ve learned that I could be a temple filled with the Holy Spirit if I focused all my thoughts on his desire/will for me to be his child; my choice. I pray for you to choose his will for you over your own!  Praise the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya! 

Beloved–

Take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips.  (from Psalms)

Stages 3.0  Going from GOT IT to WOW was not a slam dunk. I learned where the safest place is to stand but learning to control my tongue was a whole other learning curve.  I got to the point, after numerous failures, to beg for help to not say, do, think or feel anything that was not guided by the Holy Spirit.  I pray for you to know the joy of WOW that only knowing the Lord God Almighty can give. 

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.  (from 1 John)

Stages 2.0 Unaware and Aware, was instantaneas; oh what joy!  The time from I know better than you and Yes sir, No sir took 16 years. It was me standing in front and the Lord as a backup plan. It took another 20 years for me to understand my position (Got it) was to stand behind the Lord. I pray for you to know where the safest place is to stand. Always praising the Lord God Almighty!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.  (from John)

Response to the question, “have you always been a Christian?” I described my stages.

Unaware: on my own, struggling to avoid pits of despair, Jesus Saves, but not me.

Aware: cried out in prayer, received an immediate answer! Never alone again.

I know better than you: all my prayers were sent with instructions.

Yes sir, no sir: my prayer not answered my way but you are LORD and in charge.

Got it: my prayers should be your will not mine, thus I will get the desires of my heart.

Wow this really works: amazing grace!  Prayers answered

I pray for you to “get it” and always praising the Lord God Almighty!

Luv Ya!

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.  He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.  He renews my strength.  He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.  Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.  Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.  You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.  You honor me by anointing my head with oil.  My cup overflows with blessings.  Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
