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.

The Gift of Wisdom: A Divine Perspective on Life

lastwordrecovery

“Use the wisdom you have from your God.”

(Ezra 7:25)

Wisdom is an elusive trait to many because it comes from something much less tangible than education or experience. True wisdom is a character quality which can only be obtained through divine inspiration.

Your gift of wisdom is a supernatural ability which allows you to view life from a divine perspective, outside of time, space, and human emotion.

You have received the gift of wisdom by being united with Christ. This wisdom allows you to be in the right place, at the right time, making right decisions. This is also called the righteousness (right-ness) of God which you have found in Jesus.

You understand the need for wisdom as you endeavor to do the right thing for yourself and those you love.

Wisdom comes to you through divine insight. You find comfort in knowing that this is an act of God, rather than a struggle from within your own mind.

You see the wisdom of God through the organization of nature. You see the wisdom of God in forgiveness. You see the wisdom of God in faith. You see the wisdom of God in yourself.

lastwordrecovery

“God chose you to be His own. He does great and wonderful miracles for His children.”

(2 Samuel 7:23)

Your solid connection to the Divine is a foundational pillar to your psychological well-being. You sense a deep longing for the companionship you left behind when you entered the human realm.

You were chosen to accomplish specific assignments on this earth. Your call was to change the course of history in both ordinary and extraordinary measures.

You were chosen to promote the love of God. You were chosen to speak, write, and live in a way that He could demonstrate his kindness through you.

You know that it is God’s desire that all of His children might know the safety and security found in the bonds of His unconditional love.  You share that love through your everyday life experiences and thus prove that God’s decision to choose you was the right one!

Living in Grace: Freedom from Religious Rules

Woman breaking a wall labeled with words like conformity, obedience, and strict adherence

 “So this means that Jesus is the guarantee of a better agreement from God to his people.”

(Hebrews 7:22)

You may sometimes struggle to fully grasp the magnitude of the Grace Covenant which supersedes the Law Covenant of Old Testament times.  The Covenant of Grace is a better agreement that Jesus has personally guaranteed.

Rather than becoming entangled in religious rules and regulations, you enjoy a life of freedom and love, which is led by the Spirit.

You find that obedience to the Lord doesn’t feel like obligation or drudgery. In fact, it is an opportunity to experience supernatural intervention. Each new task is a divine assignment, and each new assignment is a chance to bond with your Creator while working together to complete it. 

Christ has ushered you into a grace-filled existence. Your normal daily tasks are neither ordinary nor dull. Each moment holds a special purpose, and each step of the journey holds great significance.

Resting in grace, your life is on track for success. Without the presence of God’s grace in your life, you might worry that you are not progressing as fast as you should.

God’s grace has  you covered.  It places you at the right place at the right time. You need not stress or worry that you might miss His call or fail to take the right step.

Your faith in Christ allows you to live your life in the space of grace. In this space, there is no guesswork. Here, life moves in an orderly direction. God clears the path in front of you as each next step is revealed.

The space of Grace is a safe place; it is the right place; and it is the only place you wish to be.

Detach from Toxic People: A Path to Emotional Freedom

lastwordrecovery
.

“Don’t pay attention to everything people say – you may hear someone insulting you.”

(Ecclesiastes 7:21)

Without judgment, repulsion or excuse, you gently detach from people who exhibit little concern for the pain they cause or the negative impact they have on their fellow humans.

You do not join in with those who belittle or diminish another’s worth.

You remove yourself from environments which are darkened by oppression, hate, disrespect, and intolerance. You do not allow yourself to be impacted by their insults. You choose to ignore their words so you don’t get caught up in defensive arguments or become ensnared by anger and resentment.

You realize these painful experiences often bring emotional results. You don’t understand why people are so awful to each other.

In quiet times, as you vent to God in sorrowful prayers, He hears and understands.

The demeaning and insulting expressions that offend you, are the same ones that offend Him too.

“There is no one on earth who does what is right all the time and never makes a mistake.”

(Ecclesiastes 7:20)

You are learning to release your mistakes and failings into the safe grace of God.

Regret and guilt are often troubling, but as you share your cringe-worthy memories with God, you find a sense of release. Your thoughts are turned toward His forgiveness and mercy, rather than your own failures and remorse.

You receive clemency from Christ, who wipes the slate clean. You understand this is not a once-in-a-life-time free pass, but it is a gift of grace, providing you with a fresh start whenever you need one, throughout your entire life.

When you talk things out with God, regrets are resolved, and guilt is eliminated.

Knowing that Christ has liberated you from any past mistakes, you are overwhelmed with gratitude rather than guilt.

The Role of Prophecy in Today’s World

lastwordrecovery

“Nathan told David everything that God had revealed to him.”

(2 Samuel 7:17)

Nathan was a prophet who was assigned to be the King’s advisor during David’s reign over Israel. It was a powerful position with great responsibility.

Like Nathan, you have been given a gift of prophecy from the Holy Spirit. You receive messages of hope and encouragement to offer the people and times in which you live. This gift will position you in the presence of powerful people who need to hear what God has revealed to you.

Through specific life events, your spiritual intuition has been fine-tuned. You have insight and awareness which go beyond natural perception. It is quite possible that many of the messages you receive from the Holy Spirit will prove to alter the course of history.

In detailed, methodical steps, the Spirit is bringing you to higher levels of understanding. You comprehend God’s desire for protecting this planet and the precious souls that inhabit it.

God’s intention is that you share His words of restoration and guidance with His precious children who haven’t been able to hear His voice for themselves.

You may be called to write, speak, or both so you will receive opportunities to develop these skills in very ordinary ways.

You may not realize the magnitude of your prophetic messages, but as each word of hope falls into place, the ripple effect expands beyond natural limitations.

“The Lord who sits on the throne will protect them. They will never be hungry again. They will never be thirsty again. The sun will not hurt them. No heat will burn them.”

(Revelation 7:16)

Your physical body is aging, but your spirit is timeless and eternal.

Because of your belief in Jesus and the power of His resurrection, you have been given the Holy Spirit, who lifts you to new waves of enlightenment.

Springing up with living water, your spirit rushes like a river, creating the current which propels your physical form to each new assignment from God.

In partnership with the Spirit, you generate supernatural energy. This effect infuses the atmosphere surrounding you with a positive charge. This is why you are known as one who lights up the room wherever you go.

In this way, you are living inside-out, using the power produced by the Spirit to carry you from your current human experience into your future spiritual existence.

Someday, your human form will fall away, and you will become fully alive in a dimension so dazzling, it is beyond human words or mortal imagination.

In this glorious realm of eternal life, you will no longer experience hunger or thirst. You will never again experience the discomfort of earthly elements or human distress.

Understanding Humility: A Stealth Mission from God

lastwordrecovery

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and turn from their cruel ways, I will hear from heaven. I will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

(2 Chronicles 7:14)

In a world filled with ambition and competition, you often feel out of sync. There seems to be little value placed on the extraordinary virtue of humility. This causes you deep grief.

You are called to be humble and gentle. Gifted with that anointing, you walk through many of your God-given assignments virtually unnoticed.

Since humility often transforms into pride once it is recognized, truly humble people rarely see it in themselves.

Humility requires a great deal of divine intervention because most humans do not find it very satisfying. There is no humble-meter which measures the level of humility a person has attained.

There is rarely any human praise or worldly reward for your commitment to the virtue of humility.

Your God-given assignments are often stealth missions, guided and monitored by the Spirit of God. It is through your humility and gentleness that His compassion is revealed to those who need it most.

His grace is poured out on you as you walk in humility. Covered by this supernatural protective layer, you are able to complete each assignment without the distraction of people-pleasing or blind ambition.

Set Apart for Significance: The True Meaning of Holy

lastwordrecovery

Have the people make themselves holy for me. Tell them, ‘Set yourselves apart to the Lord.’

(Joshua 7:13)

The word holy has often been mistakenly used for someone who is grim, dutiful, and devout; one who maintains a high standard of pious behavior and has little patience for those who don’t.

However, in several scriptural passages, the word holy is defined as that which is uncommon or extraordinary.

You have been declared holy by the Creator of the Universe. God has stated that your existence is extraordinary, and your life is far from common.

There is significance in everything that you do. There is nothing ordinary or common about you.

You are holy. You are wisdom. You are free to talk openly with your Creator. Your life in Christ is a spring of living water, making ripple effects on the world around you.

Every place your feet touch becomes sacred ground, because you carry the Creator of Life within you.

The significant impact you make during your years on earth will pale in comparison to the lasting effect imprinted on the planet because you walked here.
