(The Lord Dwells In You Now)
TO THE BIBLE 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19 KJV
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?”
LET’S TALK
In the Old Testament, the Israelites carried the presence of God with them by transporting the Tabernacle of Witness, which contained the Ark of the Covenant.
The Bible tells us in 1 Kings 8:9 that “There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had put there at Horeb (Sinai), where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites when they came out of the land of Egypt.” These stone tablets held God’s commandments.
Today, your heart is the new ark of God—it’s where His Word lives. In Jeremiah 31:33 NKJV, God said, “But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”
This promise was fulfilled in us when we were born again. We were born again by the Word of God and have become one with it.
Now, we are living letters from God, “written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.” (2 Corinthians 3:3 NKJV).
You are now the living ark of testimony and the dwelling place of God’s presence. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:16 NIV, “For you are the temple of the living God; as God has said: ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”
He dwells in you now. His hands are in your hands, and His legs are in your legs. He walks in you and talks through you. Wherever you go, God goes. You’re not just in His presence; you carry His presence.

Speak:
My life is for the glory of God, because the Holy Spirit lives in and operates from the quarters of my heart. Therefore, Satan and anything associated with darkness have no place in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
