He never had a home.......

Isaiah 66:1

 

He never had a home but people loved him and followed him everywhere. He fed the multitudes and did many miracles. Yet he was not welcome anywhere. Birds had nests, foxes had dens but this young man had no home. When he was born there was no one that would take him or his family in when his mother was about to give birth to him, but the only place he was allowed to be was in a barn with animals and the smell of animal mess everywhere. But that had to be the place acceptable at the time for this young man to be born because you see, no one wanted him or his family in their home.

 

You ask if a man did all these things I'm talking about, then why wasn't he welcomed anywhere. The reason was because this particular man came to deliver a message and set captives free and certain people in high places didn't like someone like this man coming in and bringing the change this man brought. People all over the world were looking for this great mighty king to come and save their people. But they were looking for the wrong form. He came in the form of a baby being born in a manger and as he grew older he began to teach and he as he grew he had the anointing of the Holy Spirit on him, it asended on him like a dove when he was baptised. Who is this man I'm talking about? Why it's the Son of the living God!!!! He didn't start his ministry until he reached his 30's and a powerful ministry it was but the whole time he was about his fathers (God's) business, he had no home to lay his head down. He picked 12 disciples to follow him. He picked them and they followed him without question. A disciple is a follower. These men made the choice to let Jesus Christ live and move and have his being in them. Jesus was able to find a home in them, but not in the religious people because they were always looking for him in a bigger greater form. But the Messiah the Son of God came to us through a virgin birth and the religious leaders of that day rejected him because they thought or considered him a heratic.

 

In Isaiah 66:1 the Lord says: "Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool where is the house you will build for me?  Where will my resting place be?

 

Now days we all meet in a church building with walls all around it. But if you will take a deep look at the scripture he is asking where is the house you will build for him? Where will you make him a resting place?  Will it be in your heart or a building or where? In the desert, where? Heaven is his throne, not his home. The earth is where he places is feet. So where is his home? Where is his dwelling place? Where does he live and abide?  Well my friend I'm here to tell you, he is standing at your door knocking and he says he would like to come inside you and live in you and abide in you and have his being in you. Where you go he will be going. You can be the place where he lays his head. You could be the place, in other words he wants you to be the temple that he lives in.

 

He wants to make his abode in a people, not a building. His people are the church not the building so that means you can gather for fellowship anywhere and he goes with you and leaves with you, because he's in you. YOu could meet in a park and have church, you can meet in someone's home and still have church, you can sit just you and him one on one and have church, because he lives in you because you made the decision to let him in your heart and now you are the temple he lives in, not made by man. Now presenting the question he presents about where would you make a home for him. I have made my soul and life a temple for him to dwell in long years ago and every storm and trial I have ever been through, I couldn't have made it through without him being inside me to lead me guide me and protect me. I am nothing without him and can do nothing without him. I love him with everything I have in me. But now my friend the choice is yours, he died so you could be free. He came to set all free. It's your choice to let yourself be the temple he abides and makes his home in.  Will you make that decision today? I have never regretted it. You won't either. The road hasn't always been easy for me, but he has never left me alone. For you to make the decision to be the temple he lives in all you have to do is repent of your sins, say I'm sorry and denounce the powers of darkness and ask Jesus to come dwell in you and you be his temple. Then recieve his forgiveness. It's that easy. Time is short now so don't waste time on questioning, just do it. You will immediately be filled with joy in your heart and your life will begin to change for the good.
