God Won’t Live
In A Dirty House

“Do you not know that your bodies are
Temples of the Holy Spirit,
Who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
Therefore honor God with your bodies.”
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

DirtyHouse.jpg The 'temple' or “house” the Apostle Paul is referring to here in today’s verse is US, and the true owner of that house is not 'us', but God. Here is why...

We are 'lessees' of this temporary body as we travel through this mortal lifetime, and what we allow into our 'house,' will be what it will become. Therefore we need to be very careful about what we let in, not just through our mouth, but especially through our hearts and eyes. Jesus warns us about the eyes of the body saying “ if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness.” (Matthew 6:23) And if you allow dirt to come into your house, then you will be living in a Dirty House!

So stop and take inventory of what you have inside the temple of your house! Because in order for God to fully abide in your house and be able to use you for His purposes your house must be clean. If not, here’s how to start.

First: Clean Out The Dirt! Search through every corner of yourself and start throwing away all those things that are 'dirty' in your life. These can be — but are not limited to — bad habits, improper speech, and impure desires, thoughts and attitudes.

Second: Keep your house clean by daily making it a A Place of Prayer. When you pray in the spirit it pushes out and keeps out the dirt and sin that wants to come back inside your house.

Third: Make Your House A Place of Praise. Not only will your spirit be filled with praise for God, but when you praise God, your very countenance will be filled with the light of Christ, and as that light emanates from your house, others will notice that you have something they will desire.

Fourth: Make Your House A Place of Power! A clean house attracts good things and good people, and by practicing the power of prayer and praise, you become a conduit to His power and a light to others and are now “Fit for the Master’s Use” (2 Timothy 2:21)

Friend, a clean home is a beautiful home, and a delight to enjoy and live. Live the GOOD LIFE!

God Bless Your Day
