The house is us. You are a house! I am a house!
Jesus and the truth-the Word is our rock-our firm foundation!
Matthew 8:24-27
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which builth his house upon a rock;
(if will hear His Word! If we will heed to what He says! )
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
(The storms in our lives! Lord, knows there are many!)
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
(If we doeth them not, his house is built on sand!!-false doctorines!)
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
(Great was the fall of it! It can not stand on sand!!! I don't want to be able to knocked down and blown away!!!)
Woah! I still remember singing that song as a kid...on Christ that solid rock I stand..when I needed shelter, when I needed a friend..I go to the rock!
Jesus is a chief cornerstone! (Ephesians 2:20-22-And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
He also builds our house..designs it and frames it...equips and provides for it!
Our firm foundation! (2 Timothy 2:19- Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.) We are sealed w/ a promise--through the Holy Ghost! Our house can be SEALED!!!!!!!!!! Woah, Lord!!!! (Ephesians 2:20-22-In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.)
We must have full truth! We can not live w/ whatever doctrine we choose! We we want to hear! What we are willing to submit to or sacrifice! It doesn't work that way. You are taking what you want from the Bible. The bible says, "take not from it and do not add to it!!" It's all or nothing! We can not be ruled by our flesh...resulting in pride. W
I believe here too; w/out the baptism in Jesus name and the infilling of the holy ghost which is the evidence in speaking in other tongues...we will not have a solid foundation. We will go through storms that will beat us down! The rain and floods will descend! The winds will blow and knock us down!! Really, that's all that it would take!!? A couple of storms in your life to knock you down? That's why we much be built on that solid rock!! Jesus is the only solid rock!
True salvation is Acts 2:38 and yes it essential and necessary to receive the Holy Ghost and be baptized in Jesus name!
I posted a video of a Christian comedian and the Lord showed him something about "the house!" You have to listen to it!!
Jesus says, he stands at the door and knocks! He is knocking at our door, of our house!!! (Revelation 3:20-Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.)
Invite Him in!!! Turn the door knob and let him in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OPEN THE DOOR!!
When we allow Jesus in our house...will we allow him complete access to each room or will you limit him to one room!!?
Our houses can become messy! Just like we need to clean, deep clean, spring clean and keep up maintenance...it's the same w/in our hearts!!! We need to purge our flesh it often! We need to go on fasts, so we can decrease that he may increase!
Don't just let Jesus be the owner of the house. Most times you never see the owner of a home you rent! Let's let Jesus live w/ us!!! He wants complete and intimate relationships w/ us!!!
We are a dwelling place for the Holy Ghost! We are to have a clean temple!
The Body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit
1st Corinthians 6:18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
When Jesus lives in our house we can have freedom! He gives us shelter from the storm! I go to the rock of my salvation! I go to the stone that the builders rejected! The moutains stand by me! This world is sinking sand!! I go to the rock!
