House of Prayer

Good afternoon everybody,
Matthew tells a story in chapter 21, of the Lord in a role of authority and dominion. Of course, another account says he made a whip! Which proves that it was not an emotional outburst, but Spirit led. Watch this.
12And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Now, here’s Jesus, whipping and throwing tables, and the blind and lame come up. He says ‘not now, I’m busy. Can’t you see it’s not God’s time? He is doing a purging’. No! He healed them.
Friends, Jesus was actually prophecying when He healed them. He had just said that the temple was not a den of thieves, but a house of prayer. He was saying that the Lord was going to be living in people, not buildings. He was saying it is NOT His will for our bodies to be a ‘den of thieves’, with sin, fear, sickness, etc. It IS His will that our bodies be clean, whole and strong. Houses of prayer, temples of the Holy Spirit. Our bodies, not spirits. 1 Corinthians 6.
We are houses of prayer, it is written!
I love you all,

healed by His stripes,
Nancy Bass
