“Now therefore, Arise, O LORD God, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. Let your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness…” (2 Chronicles 6:41; Psalm 132:8-9)

Before Yeshua ascended back to His Father in heaven, he commanded His disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the promised Comforter to come.

“But you shall receive power when the Holy spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

And on the day of Pentecost, the presence of the God came in like a mighty rushing wind to the Upper Room where they were praying and filled them with the Holy Spirit. Suddenly, all 120 people in that room were praising and shouting thanksgiving and prophesying of the wonderful works of God, each one in a different language. Suddenly, these lowly, uneducated fishermen were transformed into powerful proclaimers of the Good News of Yeshua’s saving grace. Now, not a physical building but each believer has been sanctified as the temple of the Holy Spirit. And when He comes to rest on us we are clothed with garments of salvation and filled with His glory and power and rejoice under the heavy, anointing presence of the LORD in our lives.

Have you been filled with the Holy Spirit? Do you want to have that rich and powerful presence in your temple? You can! He is freely available as a gift from God to all who will ask and receive Him. Just humble your heart and ask the Lord to come in and then start blessing Him and thanking Him for His greatness. Open your mouth and let Him wash over you, and arise to rest upon you with His glory and majesty. And rejoice in His embrace as He inhabits your worship. He will surely come in and transform you into a powerful witness for His glory.

I hope you have a glorious day as you enter into that place of worship where He can fill you to overflowing.

“So now Jesus and the ones He makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them His brothers and sisters…Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could He die, and only by dying could He break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could He set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.” (Hebrews 2:11,14-15 NLT)

Precious child, you are a loved and dear member of God’s family. He is not ashamed to call you His brother or sister. He sees what you are going through and understands when you fall and feel like giving up. But you can’t give up! Just as He said to Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9,

“‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

The Lord knows you are weak, but He uses those weaknesses to supplement us with His power. When we are weak, His power fills in the gaps. When we are strong-willed, there is not much room for His power to work in us. We are actually operating to our fullest potential when our minimum is offset by His maximum. Because He came to us as a human, yet did not fail once to sin’s powerful pull, He was able to break the power of the devil over us. He sets us free from the condemnation of fear and failure.

Don’t put yourself down when you feel frustrated or tempted by food or by sin, but instead “take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when you are weak, then you are strong (because He becomes strong within you). (2 Corinthians 12:10) Walk in the strength of the Lord today!
