Rebuilding God‘s Temple is a Spiritual Experience.

Haggai 1:2-13 
“2 This is what the Lord of Armies says. This people has said, “It is not the right time for the House of the Lord to be built.”
3 So the word of the Lord came through Haggai the prophet.
4 Is it time for you to live in your paneled houses while this house lies in ruins? 5 Now this is what the Lord of Armies says. Consider your ways carefully. 6 You sow much seed but you harvest little. You eat but you are never satisfied. You drink but you never become drunk. You get dressed, but no one is warm. The one who makes money puts that money into a bag with a hole in it.
7 This is what the Lord of Armies says. Consider your ways carefully. 8 Go up to the mountains, bring lumber down, and build the House. I will be pleased with it, and I will be glorified, says the Lord.

9 You expected much, but look, there was little. When you brought it home, I blew it away.
Why did I do that? This is a declaration of the Lord of Armies. It is because my house lies in ruins while each of you is busy with your own house. 10 So it is because of you that the heavens have withheld the dew and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the olive oil, on everything which the soil produces, on people, on livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.
12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the surviving remnant of the people, listened to the voice of the Lord their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, because the Lord their God had sent him. So the people feared the Lord.
13 Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, spoke the Lord’s message to the people: “I am with you, declares the Lord.””

Do you feel like everything you have worked hard for is being blown away?
Well let’s look at the state of your temple. What is the condition of it? The Bible says, “Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and we are supposed to glorify God with our bodies.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

How are you treating this temple? Are you feeding it the Word? Are you feeding it with the Spirit of God? You do know that you only get out what you put in. If you’re not putting the time in with the Lord, should you expect to receive from him?

God is telling you today, rebuild his temple in you. And this next temple should be more glorious than the first. Do the work, build it right and his Spirit will reside in it and fill it with his glory. Then you will begin to prosper in every aspect of your life.

Do not feed his temple with trash, because what you sow is what you will reap. Fill his temple with the Spirit of God by seeking after him with everything you got, and his glory will reside in you. Rebuild the holy temple, that is within you only with Holy Spirit’s direction. Be diligent and true to what Holy Spirit is saying in this day.

Father God,
We thank you for your Word today, and we are ready to rebuild your temple within us. We understand that we cannot stay in the same place where we have been, and that it is time for us to move forward, but we cannot do it without your glory.

We will build a place for your glory to reside in us. A place that is clean and holy. So purify our hearts and our minds as we seek after you. We no longer want to reside in this place, but we are ready to step towards our next destination. The place that you have already predestined for us.
It’s not about our desires, Lord, but it’s about the plan and the path that you have laid out for us, and we know that we cannot enter this without rebuilding our temple. Push us Lord when we need to be pushed because our desire is to get to where you are taking us.
Abba we are ready. We are ready to move forward. We are laying the foundation for this great rebuild. May your finger continue to guide us and point out the way.

In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
