John Mark Pool: God Inhabits His Temple!

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

Yes, we are God's temple - where He abides and works through us. That's good news. John Mark Pool, who's been to Heaven by the way, gives an excellent word and teaching on us being His temple.

2 Chronicles 6:18-21 But will God really live on earth among people? Why, even the highest heavens cannot contain you. How much less this Temple I have built! Nevertheless, listen to my prayer and my plea, O LORD my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is making to you. May you watch over this Temple day and night, this place where you have said you would put your name. May you always hear the prayers I make toward this place. May you hear the humble and earnest requests from me and your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, hear us from Heaven where you live, and when you hear, forgive.

God made humanity in His image and desired fellowship with those whom He created for ever-increasing intimacy.

Remember, you are made in God's image, and when you identify with Him as not only God the Creator and Lord through Jesus Christ our Savior, you must now comprehend He is Abba Father, literally living within us. Consequently, every Believer ought to now realize they are the very "Tabernacle of Meeting" with our Lord and our Abba Father!

Since we are indeed not only humans but grow daily as His Spirit-beings who can thus fellowship with Father in Spirit and in truth, we actually are the "Temple of the Lord." In the time of the physical Tabernacle of Meeting, the Israelites depended upon the top leaders to bring this meeting information back and mediate God's relationship to them, but today we have a true Mediator with Jesus Christ to go straight into the Holy of Holies by the Blood of the Lamb!

Exodus 33:11 Inside the Tent of Meeting [tabernacle], the LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend...

As the Lord chose Moses to be our early covenant predecessor who mediated intimacy from God for His people, our Lord completed this after Jesus Christ became the "exchange payment" as our perfect atoning sacrifice. Now we can go straight to God and know Him as Abba Father!

In the early days, before Jesus Christ was God's priceless payment for our opportunity of restored relationship, they only could build tents of meeting and tabernacles to offer a meeting place. However, today, our God, who must become each Believer's individual Father, meets with us in our human tabernacle "person to person" as the very "treasure chests of the Lord." We are the "temples of the Holy Spirit," the actual vessels of God, and indeed His "offspring." You are heirs in a royal family that will know God deeper as you desire this "Father-child" relationship.

1 Corinthians 6:19 Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself...

Temple in this Scripture is naos, which is used to describe the sacred temple at Jerusalem, yet even more, this naos is the word consisting of the Holy place and the Holy of Holies (in classical Greek it is used of the sanctuary or cell of the temple, where the image of gold was placed which is distinguished from the whole enclosure).

You are the very "treasure in the field of great price"!

Once you accept the Lord as your Father, then you will know God in a very personal relationship, which offers a deeper intimacy that others will desire. All who dare to accept and pursue this "treasure chest of royalty" will walk in an authority and depth one has always desired, with a security that cancels all former insecurities which cried out for God to be your Father! We are so much more effective as His children as we live and move and have our beings totally submerged in God as our Big Loving Dad!

Blessings in the Father,
