1 Corinthians 2:12
King James Version
12 Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world,
but the spirit which is of God;
that we might know the things
that are freely given to us of God.
Did we really think the Holy Spirit is outside of us?
Watch what these verses say, starting with what JESUS said:
John 14:17
King James Version
17 Even the Spirit of truth;
whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him:
but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
Has that sunk in yet?
Here's more!
Isaiah 63:11
King James Version
11 Then he remembered the days of old,
Moses, and his people, saying,
Where is he that brought them up out of the sea
with the shepherd of his flock?
where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
Ezekiel 36:27
King James Version
27 And I will put my spirit within you,
and cause you to walk in my statutes,
and ye shall keep my judgments,
and do them.
Romans 8:9
King James Version
9 But ye are not in the flesh,
but in the Spirit,
if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,
he is none of his.
Romans 8:11
King James Version
11 But if the Spirit of him
that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
he that raised up Christ from the dead
shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit
that dwelleth in you.
1 Corinthians 3:16
King James Version
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians 6:19
King James Version
19 What?
know ye not that your body
is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you,
which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own?
Galatians 4:6
King James Version
6 And because ye are sons,
God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son
into your hearts,
crying,
Abba,
Father.
2 Timothy 1:14
King James Version
14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep
by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
1 John 2:27
King James Version
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him
abideth in you,
and ye need not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things,
and is truth,
and is no lie,
and even as it hath taught you,
ye shall abide in him.
Let us all meditate upon those verses, and thus, respect our bodies -- the temple of God's Spirit.
