1 Corinthians 3:16-17 AMPC

16 Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God’s temple (His sanctuary), and that God’s Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually? 17 If anyone does hurt to God’s temple or corrupts it with false doctrines or destroys it, God will do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you] the believing church and its individual believers] are.

Keep Your Place Holy

  • For many months, I cried unto God because I see such destruction of the temple of the Holy Spirit. 
  • I don’t see too many people wanting to hold fast the truth that this is the temple. 
  • Sex out of wedlock — don’t buy the lie. It is not just a moment. It is the defiling of who you are in God!
  • It is not for conviction that I say it — it is for deliverance. 
  • Satan is busy. He wants us to walk into traps and hellish situations. 
  • We go through hellish situations saying, “It’s okay — the grace of God is here. It’s okay, I am forgiven.”
  • Yet we live with the ramifications of the actions. 
  • I don’t hear people preach that you will have to live with the consequences of what you did. 
  • As a pastor and minister, have you any idea how many people’s lives I have had to pick up and help because they fell headlong into doing something that defiled their place?
  • Can you imagine how powerful this is when the church mobilizes with an idea they can’t run around like any old person doing any old thing, hoping and praying God gets them out of jail free? 
  • When the mentality comes that we have the faith message, the Spirit of God living on the inside of us, and we are the temple of God, it is going to be unstoppable! 
  • Satan has nothing on me. The blood of Jesus is working for me, and I stand cleansed in the presence of God — unstoppable.

You Will Be Unstoppable

  • People are not perfect. Thank God for grace.  
  • But I made a decision. I am a temple of the Holy Ghost, and I must not defile this temple.
  • Don’t you understand that together, you form a temple to the living God and His Spirit lives among you? (1 Corinthians 3:16 VOICE)
  • If someone desecrates God’s inner sanctuary, God will desecrate him, for God’s inner sanctuary is holy, and that is exactly who you are. (1Corinthians 3:17 TPT)

1 John 3:24 AMPC

All who keep His commandments [who obey His orders and follow His plan, live and continue to live, to stay and] abide in Him, and He in them. [They let Christ be a home to them and they are the home of Christ.] And by this we know and understand and have the proof that He [really] lives and makes His home in us: by the [Holy] Spirit Whom He has given us.

1 Corinthians 6:19 AMPC

Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own.

1 Corinthians 6:19 TPT

Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary. 

  • The knowledge of what God has done lives in me as a conviction.
  • Through the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, Satan cannot touch us. 
  • Satan was deprived of the power or the authority to harm us. 
  • We live cocooned in the presence of the Lord. 
  • He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Psalm 91) 
  • Acknowledge that you are a place — a place of healing, a place of deliverance.  
  • No matter where you go, you leave an imprint of who He is after you leave — Christ in you, the Hope of Glory. 
  • The power and demonstration of Heaven is about to break forth on the earth! 

This Is the Year!

  • This is a year you are going to rise triumphant and walk in the strength of God.
  • This is the year you are not going to lose or relax your hold or grip. 
  • You are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and He desires great things to be done through you. 
  • Satanic things in your life are going to be challenged. 
  • God will bring you into company with people, and because of Christ’s power living on the inside of you, that power will deliver people. 
  • If people come against you, it could be demoniacs trying to get free from demons! 

Confess and Act Like You Are His Place

  • Shout out, “I am on course for a breakthrough. A demonstration of Heaven on earth.” 
  • “I am a temple of the living God. His life lives in me. His power lives in me.”
  • “His authority is in me. His name is in me.”
  • “I declare this year I win, my family wins, and those around me win! I declare as a church, we win!”
  • This year, more are going to be saved. More are going to delivered. More are going to be healed. More are going to get breakthroughs!
  • No matter where we go, we carry Him with us. 
  • God is not finished with this city. 
  • When an awakening comes to you, the fire of God hits your belly and your spirit becomes alive with the revelation that you are here for such a time as this!
  • You have been baptized and endued with power so you can go about doing the works of Jesus — so you can be seen to be dispersing Heaven abroad. 
  • This week I want you to look for someone to pray for.
  • This week go out of your way and go into somebody’s life and try to make that life better — not by your own power but by the power of the anointing. 
  • This year things can change. We just have to get mobilized. 
  • We have to just walk in a revelation of what God has done for each and every one of us. 
  • Please don’t be churchy— be a people of power. 

He lives within you so that His power can be demonstrated through you.
