You Are God’s Temple; Living It Out Daily | Open Book | Nov 11, 2025 | CR

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Nov 10, 2025
You are invited to see your life with God as a profound privilege: to worship, to be called, and to gather—even online—as one body at the feet of Jesus, feeding from a spiritual table He has prepared with undiluted bread and wine that strengthen, restore, and equip you. You are reminded that meetings in the Word are not routine religious events but God’s strategy to keep you soaked in His life, like a sponge immersed in oil so that under pressure you only release what you are full of—Christ, love, patience, and the Father’s perspective. You are called to recognize that, by mercy, you have been raised together with other believers and seated with Christ, brought into a household where you are no longer a stranger but part of God’s own family and His building. The “Father’s house” is not a physical estate in the sky but a living spiritual house made of people—believers who are His temple, His resting place, His mansions—each one a living stone being shaped, aligned, and fitted together into a dwelling where God can truly lay His head and find rest. Your focus, then, is not to escape the earth through a secret event but to grow into the full stature of Christ so that your life becomes a true habitation of God’s presence, shining with a distinct glory just as stars differ in glory. Because of this calling, you must embrace the cost of discipleship: refusing the pleasures of hidden sin, letting go of corrupt gain, enduring misunderstanding and even stagnation in worldly promotion rather than betray the name of the Lord. You are urged to welcome correction, rebuke, and chastening as marks of sonship, not attacks on your worth, and to stay in communities and relationships that push you toward righteousness instead of “fun” that keeps you in darkness. You are taught to fight offenses, forgive quickly, and preserve fellowship with true brothers and sisters, while wisely distancing yourself from those who live in open, unrepentant sin. You are encouraged to confess specific weaknesses—lying, cheating, sexual compromise, unclean entertainment, crafty habits—and sincerely ask the Holy Spirit to make you hate what you secretly enjoy, trusting that He can change your appetites. Above all, you are exhorted to give yourself to the Word, prayer, and obedient response so that you grow from one level of knowing God to another, becoming part of the mature, unified house in which God delights to dwell, covered and preserved by the speaking blood of Jesus as you journey with Him to the end.
