Can God Live in an Unclean Vessel

The Wife joined to the unsaved Husband = a Sanctified Husband
The Husband joined to the unsaved Wife = a Sanctified Wife
Christ joined to an unclean vessel = Sanctified Vessel

When the Lord joins with you and you join with the Lord, change for the better takes place. 

Under the old law, if you touched the unclean you were unclean. But under Grace, when Jesus touches you, and the Blood of the Lamb is applied, debts are paid in full and a new Spirit takes ownership of your soul and body. The Spirit of the Son Jesus Christ is ruling and reigning in you now.  A new law is applied to your life: the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. He is the catalyst that changes things yet He stays the same….Righteous and Holy.

So He washes you by His Word and Blood…. little at a time….  and with Fire…..  a little at a time….  as you are being born again… or rather are entering into His Kingdom, which is Righteousness, Peace, and Joy in Him the Holy Ghost.  (The example for us was the coming out of Egypt and entering the promised lands)

So if the Father has pressed on you to come to His Son, and you have answered that call then YOU have joined yourself to the Sanctified One (Jesus Christ/Lamb of God), and the Spirit of the Son has joined Himself to you… He never refuses anyone that comes to Him.  A peace and love will be evident in your soul.  A liberty and freedom from that heaviness and burden of sin is already revealed within your soul.  He seals you with His Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Now allow the Lord to go deeper and continue the cleaning of your inner man, His habitation.  Now the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. And the truth makes you free.  Allow Him to teach you how to walk in faith, being lead of the Holy Spirit in all things. It comes through experience of trial and error.  But this is where Grace comes in and Hope shines in your heart with His love for you. 

It’s a Daily working, if you will let Him.  A working that will allow His Presence to fill you with His greater glory! Making you His habitation.

So, does God dwell in an unclean temple?

The scriptures tell us that He quickens us together with Him, even when we were in our sins and uncircumcision of the flesh (Col 2:13 (9-15) and Ephesians 2:5 (4-6)).  That means He joined with us in our filth to BE OUR SANCTIFICATION.  Nothing else could sanctify us.  Only HIS Presence (seed) in us determines That value.  BUT… HE then begins the clean up process, or the growing up process having been born from above, and have to learn of Him, His Kingdom ways.  A Transformation, Change takes place within, and then an outward expression of an inward glory of this new life in Christ Jesus is manifested. (Rom 8:17; John 17:21-24…) 

We notice it in us, and little by little, others see it too and are affected by His Presence… cause once born again from above there is just no way to keep it hidden anymore.  A New Man (Son) is birthed….  The Quickening Spirit, the 2nd Man, the Lord from Heaven has swallowed you up, and you and Him have become one.  As He is, you are too.  Same Mind, Behaviors, Identity, etc… yet so He is the Head and we His Body.

Not like the first Adam, now a new man appears who has been tried and found to be perfect. The Perfect One is come.

Jesus Christ is the 2nd Man and we become His body/help mate.  Now together with the Lord He is appearing in the earth, ruling and reigning, the Lord’s Government abounding….  to those that have ears to hear what the Lord is saying. 

There are sooo many ways to explain this working and operation of the Lord.

So the Lord joins with us in our filth to be that catalyst that causes us to be changed, and that process from conception to inheritance is the “being born again” experience and process…. the “Entering into His Kingdom” experience.  (John 3:3-5 tells us we cannot see nor enter Kingdom of God unless born again)

During that process, Grace abounds where sin once condemned us, and Grace sustains us always in God’s Favor. Thanks to Jesus Christ His Son and all that He is as the Lamb of God and the Blood that speaks.  His Holy Spirit in us has taken over and removed and destroyed the devil and the works of the devil. Hebrews 2:14; 1 John 3:8-9

Now the Lord may have you go into the midst of a “mess”…. perhaps to be the catalyst Himself through you…. to begin the clean up process in another.  Yet never without Him, because without Him we can do nothing.  It was the Father in Him that did the work before, and it is them in us that does the work today.  God our Father shows us and tells us what to do. His Holy Spirit has sealed us and by Him we can declare that we are the redeemed of the Lord.

So continue to press in, and receive the TRUTH, and LIFE for it is the only WAY in to God’s glorious and wonderful Kingdom (Romans 14:17; Luke 17:21; Luke 16:16;).

And Yes, God can live in an unclean temple/body, but that is only to start the clean up process.  Yet, His presence In You is your sanctification…not according to your works, but according to His and Who He is.

Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

Ephesians 2: 5 (4-6)
Ephesians 5:26-27
John 14:20-24
John 15:3-5
1 John 2:5
Hebrews 12:27-29
Colossians 2:13 (9-15)
James 1:18,21
Rom 8:17-18
John 17:21-24
John 3:3-5
Romans 14:17

many more………..Blessings in Jesus Name.

Amen.
