Is Your Church Fit for Living?

Is My Church Fit for Living?

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II on this Tuesday March 30, 2010. I would like everyone to take a moment to stop and take a look at themselves for a minute. Think about the church you attend. Does it look all run down with a vandalized sanctuary, broken windows, graffiti all over the pulpit, soiled pews, and a unbearable stench floating through the air? Or is it clean with everything polished and looking nice with a refreshing sent of the Holy Spirit? In I Corinthians 3:16 it states “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” So if our bodies are temples, why do we continuously trash it with alcohol, defile it with lustful sex, incapacitate it with drugs, burn it down with smoking and remove its foundation with bitter, selfish, hateful, negative thinking. How can the Spirit of God dwell in a place like that? How can the Holy Spirit call a place overrun with those problems home? Think of your body as a physical church, holy ground, made especially for the Lord to come and dwell in. It’s made for people to come unto it to receive a blessing and word from its minister. But if it’s all rundown, tattered and destroyed, no one will come unto it. It isn’t functional. Now let me lay this on you to. Earlier I said just a few ways we defile our temple by all these different acts right, and in that same scripture God said he will destroy that temple. SO where do you think all of those illnesses come from. They are the harvest of so many seeds that defiled His temple; Lung cancer, liver cancer, HIV, AIDS, tumors and so on. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m specifically talking about those individuals who abuse their bodies constantly not individuals that God is doing a greater work in for other reasons. So take a moment and check out your church grounds and see what type of renovations are needed before God just decides to demolish it. Hopefully you attend a church like the second described earlier and then you can go out and help a friend or stranger renovate theirs. Please read I Corinthians 3:16-17 KJV

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
