Jesus came not just to enhance, but to transform. Whatever God will occupy, he will rule. Make us a vessel of honor 1 Cor 6:19-20
"....You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body."
He sees you not through Christ, but next to Christ, as his Child, Holy.
1)Jesus Rage: Matt 21:12 Jesus makes a whip. Purify this house.
2) House of Prayer Matt 21:13, Jer 7:10-11 Religious people had no regard for people of all nations.
All nations....Everyone is invited, we pray beyond ourselves. As we pray for others God pours out His heart through us. We are standing in the gap between them and the enemy.
3) House of Power Matt 21:14
"....he healed them."
How do we get there? "Holy hunches", Crumpling the Laundry list and letting him set the agenda. Following where he is leading us to pray, then we pray in His will . It is only out of His words, His compassion and overflow that people's lives are changed... We can empathize, God can transform.
4) House of Praise Ps. 8:2 "Out of the mouths of babes you have prepared praise."
Transformation Children --> Fathers -->Young men (Paraphrased from 1Jn 2) Hmmmm ...a lot to chew on here.
- I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name, and because you have known the Father.
- I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning.
- I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Good news, God is giving you the power to please him, desire to obey. It's not us trying to struggle to please Him. Philipians 2:13
