 Holy Temple:

 

            Living stones - spiritual house:  

 

1 Peter 2:5

5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

 

            We stones are living. We should stop acting like we’re dead. Our purpose is to be built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood. We need to change our thoughts and attitudes. We’re meant for something special. This holy priesthood has a special duty … to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God. God hasn’t done away with sacrifices. It’s just that they are spiritual instead of physical. This is part of our purpose in His life. We need to seek to do the best we can to see that it happens.

 

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You are My special people. You are a House for My habitation. You are My holy House where I dwell. You are the ones that I have chosen from among all the people of the earth to bring forth My Kingdom in this age. You are the ones to lead the people of the world to Me. You are where I dwell and where I reign from. There is no other place where I dwell outside of My people … My House. There is no other place where My people are one … where they come together in My name and worship Me. Wherever you are, there I am. You are My holy dwelling place, and I desire to be nowhere else but in your presence.”

 

            80. I am a living stone. I am being built into a spiritual house for a holy priesthood so that I can offer up spiritual sacrifices.
