Physical Death Is Separation From the Body

When a man dies, he leaves his physical body.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:8 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be ABSENT FROM THE BODY, and to be PRESENT WITH THE LORD.
PHILIPPIANS 1:21-24 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to DEPART, AND TO BE WITH CHRIST; which is far better: 24 Nevertheless to abide IN THE FLESH is more needful for you.
When a believer dies, he leaves his physical body, and he goes to heaven to be with the Lord. Friends, we can only understand God and the things of God through His Word. And we cannot know God through our natural human knowledge and through our minds. God is only revealed to man through the spirit. This is so true, I lost a great man of God yesterday from a attack of satan, he (Will) is dancing in glory with my Lord. Amen

The Greater One in Us, Can Make Impossibilities—Possibilities

God is actually making our bodies His home, His dwelling place. Now there are very few people, who are conscious of God in them. Very few of us are conscious of God living in our bodies. We couldn’t be conscious of His living in our bodies and talk as we talk.
If we know He is in us, we know He has the ability. Since He is in us, we can stop saying, “I can’t,” and begin saying, “I can because I am trusting in Him.” We say, “I can because greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.” Amen

Don’t Place Too Much Significance On Natural Things

We attach too much significance to natural things and miss the real import of the message of God.
There is nothing holy about a church building or an altar bench, for they are natural things. But the Bible does say our bodies are holy, for they are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
1 CORINTHIANS 3:16,17 16
Know ye not that YE ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; FOR THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY, WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE. Amen

God Dwells in People—Not in Buildings

One example of believers trying to live under the provisions of the Old Covenant is believers calling the church building the “house of God.”
Under the New Covenant God dwells in people—not buildings. If people aren’t careful, they will put too much significance on a place—on buildings and on other material things.On the other hand, if we mean that a church building is the house of God because it is dedicated to the Lord and used for worship, that’s all right. But you must be careful that you don’t get out of line with the Word of God in this area because it is so easy to become taken up with material things in the sense realm—the natural realm which you can see—and miss the spiritual reality.

A Better Covenant

The Holy Divine Presence of the Holy Spirit indwells us as believers! That Presence lives in me and in you.
Many have carried many truths from the Old Testament over into the New Testament, and have really failed to understand the full truth concerning our redemption and the reality of the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit.
That’s sometimes the reason the circumstances of their lives seem to crumble around them; they’ve really missed what God is saying to them under the New Covenant and are still trying to live under the provisions of the Old Covenant. But under the New Covenant, we have a better covenant based on better promises (Heb. 8:6). Amen

We Have the Holy of Holies Within Us

1 CORINTHIANS 3:16
Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God’s temple (His sanctuary), and that God’s Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you—to be at home in you [collectively as a church and also individually]?
God is actually making our bodies His home. No longer does God dwell in a man-made Holy of Holies. In the Old Testament, the Presence of God was kept shut up in the Holy of Holies.
Remember the woman at the well of Samaria said to Jesus, “The Jews say you have to worship God in Jerusalem, but our forefathers worshipped God in this mountain” (John 4:20).
The time would come when man would no longer be confined to worship God in a designated place such as Jerusalem for the Jews, or Mt. Gerizim where the Samaritans worshipped God.
Man worship's God in his heart or spirit where God would make his abode with man (Jer. 31:33; John 14:16,17,23; Heb. 8:8-13). Amen

Believers Are the Body of Christ

2 CORINTHIANS 6:14-16

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath CHRIST with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
We as believers are righteousness; we are light; and we are the Body of Christ. Jesus said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches . . .” (John 15:5). You don’t look at a tree and say the branches on that tree aren’t a part of the tree because they are. The tree and the branches are one. We as believers are the Body of Christ. We are the fruit-bearing part of Christ because the branches of a tree are what bear fruit. The Bible talks about us bearing fruits of righteousness.
Righteousness as a stage of spiritual development is a fruit of the born-again recreated human spirit and it takes time to grow. Amen

The Power Source Within

The Book of First John and the other epistles were letters written to the churches—to believers. They were written to folks who are not just born again, but were Spirit filled too. It was the exception for believers not to have received the Holy Ghost with the supernatural sign and evidence of speaking in other tongues. It is only through our "Religious Training" we think otherwise, therefore the Baptism of the Holy Spirit becomes an non issue with many believers.
When faced with tests and trials, sometimes even people who have been filled with the Holy Ghost and have received the enduement of power from on High will sometimes run around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to find someone who can help them.
All the time they were trying to find someone to help them, the Greater One was on the inside of them, trying to help them and give them their answers.
They were filled with the Holy Spirit and thought it was just some kind of an experience or a blessing.
