Dwelling Place

The first step that a person does when he makes that choice to follow Messiah Yahusha is to repent  (repent means; to turn 180 degrees around and walk the good path, not turning back to the old ways) and then be Baptist in full water which represents cleansing (old ways gone, new start).

A person receives the Set-Apart Spirit (Holy Spirit / Rauch Ha Kadash), according to scripture, who comes to live in that person (body-temple).

1 Corinthians 3:16-17, do you not know that you are a Temple of Elohim (Almighty) and that the Spirit of Elohim (Holy Spirit) dwells in you? If anyone destroys the Temple (your body) of Elohim, Elohim shall destroy him. For the Temple of Elohim is set-apart (Holy), which you are!

This is serious; we have to look after our body as the temple which is now the dwelling place of the Spirit of Elohim. We must not destroy (damage) our body by overdosing with drugs/medicine, drunkenness, smoking, over eating, tattoos, listening to wicked music, watching wicked movies and so on.

1 Corinthians 6:13-20, and the body is not for whoring (misuse of body) but for the Master Messiah, and the Master for the body. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Messiah? Shall I then take the members of Messiah and make them members of a whore? Let it not be!

Hear that "Never."

Verse 16; do you not know that he who is joined to a whore is one body? (The complete person spirit soul + body whores).

Verse 17; he who is joined to the Messiah is one spirit. Flee from whoring. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits whoring sins against his own body. We are reminded in verse 19; Do you not know that your body is the Dwelling Place (Temple) of the Set-apart Spirit (Holy Spirit) who is in you, which you have from Elohim, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price, therefore esteem Elohim in your body and in your spirit which are of Elohim - verse 20.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Messiah Yahusha died for your sins, He paid a price for you, when you accepted Him, your body, becomes His Dwelling Place (temple/church as called by Christians). The church is your body not a building. A building is where believers come together to fellowship. We do not go to a church (building) to worship; our body is the church which actually is called a temple.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18, and when one turns to Messiah, the veil is taken away. Now Yahuah (Heavenly Father) is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of Yahuah is, there is freedom.

Do you get this; if the Spirit (Holy Spirit) lives in you, you have been given freedom from the Almighty Yahuah.

Listen to verse 18; and we all, as with unveiled face we see as in a mirror the esteem of Yahuah, are being transformed into the same likeness from esteem to esteem as from Yahuah, the Spirit.

When we look into the mirror we will see the likeness of Yahuah, when the Spirit is in us.

2 Corinthians 6:16; and what union has the Temple of Elohim with idols? For you are a Dwelling Place (Temple) of the living Elohim, as Elohim has said, "I shall dwell in them and walk among them, and I shall be their Elohim (Almighty), and they shall be My people."

Believers must not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness and lawlessness (sin)? - 2 Corinthians 6:14.

Father tells the believers the following 2 Corinthians 6:17, Therefore, "Come out from among them and be separate, says Yahuah, and do not touch what is unclean, and I shall receive you."

As believers, we need to separate from unbelievers, separate from those who take drugs, whore, drunken parties, porn and violence. When the Spirit of Yahuah (Holy Spirit) is in us, we cannot partake in unclean things like sin because the Spirit is light and therefore cannot be part of darkness (sin).

Isaiah 52:11, says; Come out of her midst (sin), be clean, you who bear the vessel (body) of Yahuah. If you come out and be separate, Father says in 2 Corinthians 6:18, "And I shall be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says Yahuah the Almighty."

Finally, if we love one another, Elohim does stay in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we stay in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit - 1 John 4:12-13.
