Understanding Your Role as God’s Living Temple

July 27, 2026July 24, 2026 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

July 25, 2026July 24, 2026 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.

“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.

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

(Ecclesiastes 7:21)

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.

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.
