God Is Building A House

Jul 25, 2022    Elder Paul Jacobs

1 Chronicles 22:10-16 - NKJV
10  He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be My son, and I will
be his Father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel
forever.’  11  Now, my son, may the LORD be with you; and may you prosper,
and build the house of the LORD your God, as He has said to you.  12  Only
may the LORD give you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge
concerning Israel, that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.  13  Then
you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with
which the LORD  [ a ] charged Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good
courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.  14  Indeed I have taken much trouble
to prepare for the house of the LORD one hundred thousand talents of gold
and one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond measure, for it
is so abundant. I have prepared timber and stone also, and you may add to
them.  15  Moreover there are workmen with you in abundance: woodsmen
and stonecutters, and all types of skillful men for every kind of work.  16  Of
gold and silver and bronze and iron there is no limit. Arise and begin
working, and the LORD be with you.”

1 Corinthians 2:14a - MSG
The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can’t receive the gifts of God’s
Spirit. There’s no capacity for them.

1 CHRONICLES 22:5B - the house to be built for the LORD must
be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries.

Psalm 18:30 - NKJV
30  As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the LORD is  [ a ] proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

Psalm 62:5-8 - NKJV
5  My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my  [ a ] expectation is from Him.
6  He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be  [ b ] moved.
7  In God is my salvation and my glory;
The rock of my strength,
And my refuge, is in God.
8  Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

Psalm 86:1-2 – NKJV
86 Bow down Your ear, O LORD, hear me;
For I am poor and needy.
2  Preserve my  [ a ] life, for I am holy;
You are my God;
Save Your servant who trusts in You!

John 15:5 - NKJV
5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him,
bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Colossians 1:16 - NKJV
16  For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on
earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or  [ a ] principalities
or  [ b ] powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Ephesians 1:7-10 - MSG
7-10  Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the
altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments
chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free,
either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for
everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took
such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range
plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him,
everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth.

James 1:22-24 - MSG
22-24  Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are
anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what
you hear! Those who hear and don’t act are like those who glance in the
mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what
they look like.
