“God is transforming each one of you into the Holy of Holies, his dwelling place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you!” (Ephesians 2:22 TPT)
I am friends with a home builder. He mostly works on new construction with an occasional remodeling job. His whole family is involved in the business. A few years ago, their adult son bought two older houses--one to flip for profit and one to live in. The father and son worked on both houses together. The flip house only got cosmetic changes--new paint, flooring, fixtures, appliances, etc. The house that the son wanted to live in was gutted and rebuilt. The walls were torn down, the electrical system was rewired, and structural changes were made. The cost for the second house was much higher, and the project took much longer to finish. Yet, the end result was amazing.
God is transforming each one of us into His dwelling place through the power of the Holy Spirit living in us. This project involves more than superficial changes. He will demolish strongholds, pride, and rebellious thoughts. He will rewire our minds to conform to His standards. He will remove anything that could cause harm. This remodeling process is costly, time consuming, and uncomfortable. Yet, the end result will be amazing.
