In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

 Our Bodies:

 

            Many dwelling places:

 

John 14:2-3

2 “In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

3 “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

 

            Are these dwelling places the mansions of the King James, or perhaps our glorified bodies? We won’t need any mansions then; but that’s o.k. if this is what it means. What’s important is that Jesus went there to prepare a place for us. If He said it, we can count on it. He also said He would come again to receive us to Himself. Why … so that we could be with Him where He is forever.

            At the moment I am writing this, there is a crisis in the housing market. Homes have shot way up in price. People are having trouble buying a home … any home; not just their dream home. But we don’t have to worry about not having a place to live when we leave this place. We have one reserved in Heaven with our names on it!

            Lift up your eyes! Your redemption is nearer than when you started reading this book. How long? It’s not for us to worry. Stay ready to go at a moment’s notice; but be prepared to occupy till He does come.

 

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

            "I have not left you alone, My children. I have not forgotten you. I have made it My priority to keep you in My power … that I may demonstrate My glory in My people. You are My special ones, and I delight in your presence. I have hand selected your dwelling place for all eternity. It is not a one size fits all kind of dwelling place. It is one especially made with you as an individual in mind. You are My special ones, and I have a special place for you. You are the light of the world, and that light comes through My glory in you. You are to light the path for those around you; so that they too will come unto Me. You are My special ones, and I delight in you.”

 

            89. Jesus will return to take me to my final dwelling place which He has prepared just for me!
