The Temple of the Holy Spirit

The Temple

The temple of the Holy Spirit is the entire body of the genuine believer of Jesus. The temple includes everything from the strand of hair to the hardened soles of the feet. The temple is the house of the Spirit of God, a quiet, yet quickening resident from above.

The temple has to be kept holy. Never to be corrupted by any sinful contamination. The eyes often wander and they devour what is within their range of vision. The hands are quick to touch and feel and grip. The feet, like the eyes, are prone to wander and to leave the narrow road. All body parts should be kept holy. Easier said than done. But still can be done.

The Spirit is only powerful when we believe that it is. The flesh and its appetites can only be subdued when the Spirit is allowed to rule. When the flesh rules, darkness rules. And here is death. When the Spirit of God rules, Light rules. And here is Life. The temple of the Holy Spirit lives and shines with God's glory.

The Man and His Dragons (Original Poem)

In bed he lays
for his terribly sick body
tells him to slay
the dragons
of his flesh--
the gluttony of his gut
and the evil thirst of his throat.

His flesh is cursed
with a poisoned blood
and a sinful heart.
He cannot kneel
nor lie prostrate
to pray.
But he lies on his back
and wonder
if God is so remote.

In bed he stays
and knows that death
is just a gasp away.
Weak and delirious,
he calls out the Name
above all names.
Faced with dragons,
he then stiffens
after uttering,
"Save me, Jesus!"
