Matthew 21:12-17(NLT)

12 Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves.

13 He said to them, "The Scriptures declare, 'My Temple will be called a house of prayer, 'but you have turned it into a den of thieves!"

14 The blind and the lame came to Him in the Temple, and he healed them.

15 The leading priests and the teachers of religious law saw these wonderful miracles and heard even the children in the temple shouting, "Praise God for the Son of David." But the leaders were indignant.

16 They asked Jesus, "Do you hear what the children are saying?" "Yes", Jesus replied. " Haven't you ever read the Scriptures? For they say, "You have taught children and infants to give you praise.

17 Then He returned to Bethany, where he stayed overnight.

You are the Lord's Tenple!

When He delivered you, He turned everything upside down and cleared all the thieves communing with your spirit. All the chains of bondage, evil thoughts and whispers of the enemy, depression, generational cycles of negativity. He freed us all from it when we believed that He died and rose again for us.

You may ask then why do I keep feeling this depression and self-doubt? You are a temple and the forces of darkness keep whispering at the window and keep knocking on the door wanting access. You don't have to succumb to those things, shut them out, believe, God has given you authority in your temple and no foul thing should have a seat. Jesus lives in you and He will cover and guide you anytime those forces appear, and heal you.

A house of prayer: Prayer is having communication with God, this means, we are a house that speaks directly to our Saviour Jesus, no need for sacrifices, oils and incense. Just wake up and speak to Him, no need to shout or look at any figure or place. He lives in you, He is more personal and gentle, feel free, He understands, place your requests humbly before Him. Don't rush to get up, listen to His reply, He has feelings too.

The Blind see: Through you His temple, people would receive their sight, will get insight, will realise their vision and would renew their minds, it's authority given to you, as they see you follow Jesus they also get to see Him through you.

The Lame walk: Through you those stuck in life, those in wrong paths would be realigned back to the Father, He would give them strategy and prepare their hinds feet for the walk ahead. They would move forward in victory.

Him in the Temple: Jesus resides in you, don't forget, don't let anyone deceive you. As you walk and take a step you do so together.

He healed them: There is no problem, pain, hurt, sickness of the heart, sickness of the mind, and physical ailment, He can't solve.

Wonderful Miracles: He would work wonderful miracles through you, don't be discouraged, have faith, believe, expect, receive and see.

The children: You would bear children of your own not just biological but many would learn from you. Importantly the works of your hands, your good actions and positive behaviours, blessed fruits, the creative ideas, inventions and solutions, are the children God has given you to birth in the earth.

Praise God: You are a temple and instrument of praise, give thanks and magnify His Name always. Your praise and worship allows a sweet fragrance to go before Him and a fresh flow of living water to refresh and revive your soul.

You have taught: You are a teacher, our Lord expects us to teach others and share His Love and good news to those around us. Don't be disheartened by those who ignore you, those who criticise you, those who bring up your past, those who question what authority or right you have or the inner voice which says you can't or you're not worthy, ignore them all and Be Bold!

Prayer:

Thank you Lord for your word, we recieve it, help us to be all that You have spoken. Give us your strength, wisdom and your boldness. Thank you for delivering us from the evil one. For thine is the kingdom the power and the glory forever, Amen.

If you want to recieve Jesus into your heart, for Him to build you, as a new beautiful temple, let's pray.

Heavenly Father, I come before you today, to receive your son Jesus us my Lord and saviour, I believe in Him, I believe He died and rose again to reconcile me back to you.

Thank you for making me part of the family in Jesus Name Amen.

Jesus Resides in you today! Be open to transformation!
