Understanding Your Role as God’s Living Temple

lastwordrecovery

“Praise the Lord, the God of our ancestors, who made the king want to beautify the Temple of the Lord.”

(Ezra 7:27)

The Old Testament Temple of God was a building with detailed specifications for its sacred use. The presence of God was available only during limited times and at precise locations within the structure.

But in this New Testament era of grace, Jesus has opened the way for God’s Spirit to live within you. The King of Kings wants to beautify your soul, making it a holy sanctuary for the presence of God.

As the dwelling place of God on this earth, you serve as His hands, eyes, ears, and heart. This is the purpose of your journey while you travel through your allotted time as a human.

Since God is a Spirit, His impact on the natural realm can only manifest if a human permits Him to function through their physical form, implementing actions that correspond with His objectives.

Knowing that the Creator of the Universe has entrusted you with His Spirit and made His home within you gives you purpose and direction. You know that none of the daily tasks of life are insignificant.

You recognize that each conversation you have with another human being is a sacred connection.

You know that each impulse of compassion, mercy, kindness, or strength is a signal for action from the Spirit of God which leads you to your next assignment.

As the temple of God, you keep your mind and body healthy and strong. You offer your physical presence to God as a living space where He can function through you to bring light and life to the people you meet and the paths you walk.

Level Up Your Decisions: Embrace Responsibility for Change

lastwordrecovery

To level up, we must acknowledge that every action starts with a choice. And every choice carries two equal and opposite decisions. In other words, every choice carries both a yes and a no decision.

If we say yes to sobriety, we say no to chaos and destruction. And visa-versa. If we say yes to a drink or drug, we say no to hope and sanity. When we say yes to thinking about our choices, we say no to making the same bad decisions, expecting different results.

When leveling up, we must accept our own responsibility for the choices and events of our lives. We must realize that our decisions, even in little things, matter.  Whether it is getting a good deal on a laptop we suspect is stolen, or working the system to get benefits we don’t really deserve, every decision sets off a chain reaction of negative results and consequences.

Harnessing Divine Power

lastwordrecovery

The power of God flows into each person like an electric current. For it to have an effect, there must be a conductor to draw it out. Our beliefs create the cord that connects us to the Source.

An electrical outlet by itself will not turn on a fan. The receptacle may hold the promise of power to run the fan, but if the cord is not plugged in, the current cannot flow.

Imagine the outlet as God’s promises. The cord is our belief which connects us to the current. Sure, we can become shamelessly independent from time to time, using arrogance and aggression to empower ourselves, but in that frame of mind, we are turning the blades of the fan by spinning them with our fingers. It is neither efficient, nor productive.

Self-induced exhaustion is the result when we resist plugging in and letting the energy flow. We use our own manipulations and self-defense mechanisms, rather than just resting on the promises of a hopeful future, because of God’s goodness.
