Sanctuary of The Holy Spirit

Aug11

Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose: “He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us”?
James 4:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.4.5.NASB1995

Or do you not know that your body is a temple (sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
1 Corinthians 6:19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.6.19.NASB1995

What an awesome gift we, who have the Holy Spirit of God dwelling in us, have to be called His children. The Holy Spirit of promise who works in us to bring honor and glory to our God as we walk this earth fulfilling His purpose through us.

. . . For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
2 Corinthians 6:16b NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.6.16.NASB1995

🌹And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty.

My Portion

Feb10

The Lord is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words.
Psalms 119:57 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.57.NASB1995

“Portion” is written in several different translations as:

The Lord is my inheritance, my choice, my share in life, my everything, all I want, mine.

With the Lord as our portion how can we not desire, promise, to keep His word? How can we keep His word unless we feast on His word daily? How can we know Him as our portion without His word?

🌹“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him.

United by Scripture

Sep9

The work of Scripture is to silence the sinner and bring faith to the believer:

But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Galatians 3:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.3.22.NASB1995

Scripture is inspired by God to equip the believer:

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.3.16-17.NASB1995

Equipped for God’s purpose:

equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Hebrews 13:21 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.13.21.NASB1995

Scripture for the unity of faith:

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.
Hebrews 4:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.4.2.NASB1995

Do You Belong?

Aug21

.. is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
Romans 3:29 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.3.29.NASB1995

Those who are dependent on God, His promise, belong to Him. They are His precious belonging bought with the blood of Jesus Christ.

For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.
Galatians 3:18 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.3.18.NASB1995

That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
Romans 9:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.9.8.NASB1995

And if you belong to Christ (are Christ’s), then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise.
Galatians 3:29 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.3.29.NASB1995

Hold Fast Without Wavering

May16

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;
Hebrews 10:23 NASB

Brothers and sisters, as partakers together of a heavenly calling, let us consider our confession — Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession.
Christ was faithful over His house, whose house we are, so let us hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
God is faithful, calling us into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hebrews 3:1/Hebrews 3:6/1 Corinthians 1:9 NASB

God is faithful to keep His promises. . .

By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.
Hebrews 11:11 NASB

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13 NASB

🌹Would you join me in this heavenly calling to boldly confess the hope we have in Jesus so others may also know Jesus as Lord?

1 John 2:25

Aug25

This is the promise which He Himself made to us (promised to us): eternal life.
1 John 2:25 NASB

God of promises never broken. When You make promises, You keep them. Your will, Father, is that everyone who beholds Your Son and believes in Him will have eternal life. You have promised that You Yourself will raise them up on the last day so that whoever believes will in Jesus has eternal life. Thank You for the hope I have through Jesus for eternity with my awesome God to Your praise and glory and my anticipation of Your promise fulfilled. In Jesus name hallelujah and amen!

Our Helper

May16

“These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. 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 said to you.
John 14:25‭-‬26 NASB

“These things I, Jesus, have spoken to you”. The spoken word of Christ to His disciples. Who is Jesus?
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 NASB1995
Jesus, the Word made flesh. Jesus who spoke truth to His disciples. How do we hear Jesus? Through the Bible. Do you want to know God, His plans, His character, His love for you? Pick up the Bible and read it. Read it daily. Read it often. Listen to it. Obey it.

If you are a born again believer you have the Holy Spirit of God in you. How awesome is that?! He was given as a Helper who will teach us. As we read the Bible the Holy Spirit teaches us like Jesus taught the disciples. His spoken word.

The really awesome part of having the Holy Spirit residing in us is that when we fill our mind and heart with the word of God the Holy Spirit uses the Bible to direct our steps, speak truth, testify of Jesus and brings to remembrance the Word of God when needed.

🌹Jesus. Savior. Promise Keeper. Thank You for sending forth the promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit, upon us, who clothes us in the power from on high. The Holy Spirit, our Helper, sent by You, the Father, is the Spirit of truth who testifies of Jesus to us. Help us to believe the Scriptures and the word which You, Jesus, have spoken and to be obedient and learn from the teaching of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus name, amen.
Luke 24:49/John 15:26/John 2:22 NASB
