Building His House (Isaiah 66:1)

Isaiah 66:1
 "This is what 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?"

God is looking for his house, His resting place?

This house is not a building but His people called by His name.

How we build His house?

Good Building Materials
 the building materials in God's house must be of the best quality, this does not mean every person is perfect.
it does mean that every person wants love and obey Jesus.

Loves the Light  ( a true Christian)

1 John 1:7
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." 

 1 Peter 2:5
"you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 

Loves the Light material were never be destroyed moments of adversity.

Built With Wisdom
We need wise builder

a way of Jesus wants to build  using His living stones(we, His people)
It must be built a certain way together in order, to be good house for Him to live in.

We will talk Jesus' house looks like because if we will not build His way, the house will fall when the storms come.

Psalm 27:1
" Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain."

 
Unless He builds the house our labor in vain.

The house will fall when the storms come.

The Design of the House
Jesus'house is built by His design, NOT ours.

God's people lay down their lives to love and serve each other every single day, as Family.
His Design;
1. Hundreds fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters.
2. Confess our sins one another.
3. Bear one another's burdens
4. One together, as He and Father are one. United.

God's desire is not separate stones just to "attend" but He desire is a family that built together, joined and knit together daily.

This is the house of God. Having a good building materials, built with wisdom and He is the designer.

The storms will come and this house will stand.
We are His house! the one that God looking for.

having a common devotion to Jesus and to each other who joined and knit together daily.

We are His resting place.

ekklesia koinonia

What is ekklesia koinonia? 

ekklesia is the greek word of church w/c means "the called-out ones"... the people who called by HIS name.

koinonia is the greek word of "sharing" and usually we translated to the word "fellowship".

ekklesia + koinonia =  a network of lives, linked together daily by a common devotion to Jesus and to each other. Believing that Jesus Christ is alive.

Ephesians 4:16
"From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work."

Hebrews 10:24-25
  "24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."


To God be the glory!

Prophesy To These Dry Bones

"Prophesy to these bones...dry bones" Ezekiel 37.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me one time. Speaks about the Body of Christ should have LIFE as what prophet Ezekiel prophesied to the bones.

This particular chapter in the book of Ezekiel about the vision of prophet Ezekiel was the shadow of the book of Ephesians about the Body of Christ.

"I looked and tendons and flesh on them(bone to bone) skin covered them." (Ezekiel 37:8)

In order to connect every bones it would be covered by tendons and flesh.
The body will not be formed as body unless every bones are connected properly.

According to the book of Ephesians 4:16 "From Him the whole body, JOINED AND HELD TOGETHER BY EVERY SUPPORTING LIGAMENT, GROWS AND BUILDS ITSELF UP IN LOVE, as its part does it work."

So, the Body of Christ, His ekklesia joined and held together and by the love of God is the one who stick us together. So, Let the love of God cover us so that the Body of Christ will be formed.

"So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet - a vast army." (Ezekiel 37:10)

"...and the breath entered them; they came to life."

Lets try to look back when God created man, "He gave life through His nostrils the breath of life."

Only in Christ we have life. It's not through the agendas of men; programs, activities, etc. that makes His ekklesia or the Body of Christ alive but through 
His presence by believing and trusting God that He is alive and by obeying His word and by God's grace, He made us and joined us together. 

He draws people together in a dynamic, ever-changing network of love. This is life changing.

"...They came to life and stood up on their feet - a vast army."

This is a parallel meaning of what the book of Ephesians 2:21 says,
"Joined together and RISE to become a HOLY TEMPLE OF THE LORD."

The Holy temple of the Lord or the Body of Christ, His ekklesia is like an army.

Matthew 16:18 says,"On this rock, I will build my Church, AND THE GATES OF HADES WILL NOT OVERCOME IT." 

His ekklesia will rise like an army of the Lord empowered by the mighty power of the Holy Spirit through joining and holding together with love and the gates of hades will not overcome it... His ekklesia becomes victorious by God's grace. 

Hallelujah...

All the glory to God alone.
