Hebrews 4:13 “No creature can hide from God. Everything is uncovered and exposed for him to see. We must answer to him.” Proverbs 15:3 “The LORD’s eyes are everywhere. They watch evil people and good people.” Jeremiah 16:17 “I see everything they do. They cannot hide from me the things they do. Their wickedness is not hidden from me.” Job 34:21 “God’s eyes are on a person’s ways. He sees all his steps.” God Knows the Heart — Not Just Actions 1 Chronicles 28:9 “Serve the LORD your God with a whole heart and a willing mind, because the LORD searches every heart and understands the motives behind every thought.” God Will Expose What Is Hidden Ecclesiastes 12:14 “God will certainly judge everything that is done. This includes every secret thing, whether it is good or bad.”
REMEMBER GOD IS WATCHING YOU, HE SEES EVERYTHING YOU DO. YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
Hebrews 3:12 Be careful, brothers and sisters, that none of you ever develop a wicked, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 1 Timothy 4:1“The Spirit says clearly that in the last times some believers will desert the Christian faith. They will follow spirits that deceive, and they will believe the teachings of demons.” Hebrews 10:23 “We must continue to hold firmly to our declaration of faith. The one who made the promise is faithful.” 2 Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.” John 10:26-28 However, you don’t believe because you’re not my sheep. My sheep respond to my voice, and I know who they are. They follow me, and I give them eternal life. They will never be lost, and no one will tear them away from me.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO TURN AWAY FROM GOD. HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH. CHECK YOURSELF TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NOT TURNED AWAY FROM GOD.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? 1 Corinthians 6:19 Don’t you know that your body is a temple that belongs to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit, whom you received from God, lives in you. You don’t belong to yourselves. Galatians 2:20 states: I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live I live by believing in God’s Son, who loved me and took the punishment for my sins. John 14:23 Jesus answered him, “Those who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will go to them and make our home with them. 1 John 3:24 Those who obey Christ’s commandments live in God, and God lives in them. We know that he lives in us because he has given us the Spirit. 1 John 3:9 “Those who have been born from God don’t live sinful lives. God’s life-giving power lives in them and makes it impossible for them to continue living in sin.” WE MUST UNDERSTAND Obedience connects to God’s presence: “Those who obey Christ’s commandments live in God, and God lives in them. We know that he lives in us because he has given us the Spirit.” (1 John 3:24) Similarly, “God lives in those who declare that Jesus is the Son of God, and they live in God.” (1 John 4:15–16)
ALLOW THIS QUICK REFRESHER TO CAUSE YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF, AND REALIZE HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE, HOW POWERFUL YOU ARE, HOW HOLY YOU ARE. IF YOU WILL LOOK DEEP INTO EVERYTHING THAT IS SAID HERE, IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU LIVE. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A DEEP STUDY, MORE TO COME.
1 Corinthians 3:16 “Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?” WHY IS THIS VERSE IMPORTANT TO US, HOW DOES THIS VERSE BENEFIT US? It breaks the lie of spiritual weakness. Many believers live as if they’re spiritually empty, waiting for God to “show up.” But this verse declares: You are already filled. You already carry His presence. You already have access to His wisdom, strength, and discernment. This destroys the mindset of: “I can’t.” “I’m not enough.” “I’m spiritually weak.” ONCE WE REALIZE WHO LIVES IN US WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT: I CAN, I AM ENOUGH, AND I AM SPIRITUALLY STRONG!!! IT’S THEN THAT WE REALIZE: We carry the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead. WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE GOD’S TEMPLE Temples were protected spaces — guarded, honored, and set apart. If you are God’s temple: the enemy cannot claim ownership of you, he cannot dwell where God dwells, he cannot define you, and he cannot overpower the Spirit within you. This verse becomes a shield. It reminds you that spiritual attacks do not mean spiritual defeat. What does this verse means for HEALING? If you are God’s temple and His Spirit lives in you, then: God’s presence is already working inside you. Healing isn’t something you’re trying to pull down from heaven. It’s something the Spirit is working from within. The Spirit in you: restores, renews, strengthens, convicts, comforts, and brings life. THINK ABOUT THIS: God does not abandon His temple. A builder doesn’t walk away from His own house. A king doesn’t neglect His own sanctuary. If you are His temple, then: He cares about your wholeness, He invests in your restoration, He protects what belongs to Him, AND THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD, AMEN AND AMEN!!!
Romans 6:6–7 We know that the person we used to be was crucified with him to put an end to sin in our bodies. Because of this we are no longer slaves to sin. The person who has died has been freed from sin. Romans 8:2 The standards of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Jesus, have set you free from the standards of sin and death. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. The old way of living has disappeared. A new way of living has come into existence. Romans 6:11–14 So consider yourselves dead to sin’s power but living for God in the power Christ Jesus gives you. Therefore, never let sin rule your physical body so that you obey its desires. Never offer any part of your body to sin’s power. No part of your body should ever be used to do any ungodly thing. Instead, offer yourselves to God as people who have come back from death and are now alive. Offer all the parts of your body to God. Use them to do everything that God approves of. Certainly, sin shouldn’t have power over you because you’re not controlled by God’s laws, but by God’s favor.
THANKS TO JESUS SIN DOESN’T HAVE POWER OVER US. WE HAVE THE POWER TO STOP LIVING WITH THE SINS THAT WE WERE SLAVES TO. IT’S BECAUSE OF JESUS WE HAVE POWER TO STOP USING DRUGS, WE HAVE POWER TO COME OUT OF HOMOSEXUALITY, WE HAVE POWER TO STOP THE RACISM, THE GREED, THE SELF-CENTERNESS, THE PRIDE, ETC. BECAUSE OF JESUS WE HAVE THE POWER TO LIVE A GODLY LIFE. NOW COME OUT OF THAT MESS, AND START LIVING A GODLY LIFE, AND BELIEVE ME EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO COME OUT OF. COME OUT OF IT NOW!!! GIVE ALL OF YOUR LIFE TO GOD AND BE BLESSED BY GOD.
Matthew 21:21–22 Jesus answered them, “I can guarantee this truth: If you have faith and do not doubt, you will be able to do what I did to the fig tree. You could also say to this mountain, ‘Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. Have faith that you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” Mark 11:22–24 Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God! I can guarantee this truth: This is what will be done for someone who doesn’t doubt but believes what he says will happen: He can say to this mountain, ‘Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,’ and it will be done for him. That’s why I tell you to have faith that you have already received whatever you pray for, and it will be yours. James 1:6–8 When you ask for something, don’t have any doubts. A person who has doubts is like a wave that is blown by the wind and tossed by the sea. A person who has doubts shouldn’t expect to receive anything from the Lord. A person who has doubts is thinking about two different things at the same time and can’t make up his mind about anything. 1 John 5:14–15 We are confident that God listens to us if we ask for anything that has his approval. We know that he listens to our requests. So we know that we already have what we ask him for.
