2 Corinthians 5:1-5
For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a
building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile
we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because
when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this
tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to
be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be
swallowed up by life. Now the one who has fashioned us for this very
purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is
to come.
Mark 14:58 "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.'"
Acts 7:48 "However,
the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:
Hebrews 9:11 But
when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here,
he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with
human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.
What you believe to be suitable housing is actually an
infested death trap. There is an
infestation in our thought process…..this sentence describes the house we call
Christianity. This does not mean that we do not have joy in our lives; it just
goes to show that there will be struggles in our faith walk.
We hear groaning and creaks during the night and we tend to
dismiss them as ‘The house settling.” Just a question to ask yourself: how old
does your house have to be before it settles? The reality of the situation is
that the creaks and moans you’re hearing are a result of you grieving the Holy
Spirit. The Holy Spirit will continue to groan until we yield to the conviction
and make the necessary renovations.
