I believe this is a message to us from God, written from His perspective – Sherri 

1 Corinthians 3:17 ESV “If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.”
 
Do you believe these words?
 
Do you believe first that you are My temple and second, I will destroy anyone who destroys you?
 
I am made out to be a weak and powerless god by many societies and cultures these days. Everyone wants to pick and choose what they will believe. Many claim to be Christians but don’t believe in Jesus. Many believe in Jesus but not demons. Many believe in life after death but don’t believe in hell. Many believe in Me but don’t believe I will send anyone to hell, and many believe that I am their God but don’t believe they are My temple or that I will, actually, take care of them, so at the first sign of trouble they assume I won’t do anything on their behalf and they take matters into their own hands.
 
Do you want to experience the power of God? Do you want Me to act powerfully in your life? Do you want to believe that when someone purposefully hurts you that I will take care of it for you? Yes, I balance grace and truth, but I do not ever wipe out truth because I refuse to act. If someone is destroying you or if someone has done something in the past to destroy you, do not hold on to yourself for vengeance. Instead, believe that I will use many means at My disposal to destroy them appropriately. Put them into My hands and know that I will act, in My way, in My time, and let go of the grievance so that you can live in freedom and I can handle it for you.
 
I encourage you to believe the whole gospel. Don’t pick and choose what you want to believe because when you do, you misalign yourself with truth and you weaken what is possible in your life. Walk with Me. Believe in Me and know that I am your God. You are My people Jeremiah 30:22 and you are My temple and are holy and pleasing to Me. Rejoice in this and in the knowledge that you do not need to fear anyone because I will take care of it.
 
Live in this truth and knowledge and rejoice!
 
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help me believe the fullness of Your gospel and what You say so that I can walk in the power of the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.
