Where Do We Live   and Have Our Being?

By: Robert A .Searles

This precious promise is valid only for those of us who have believed and been born again into the family of God by confessing our sin and accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. And have established our residence and permanent  habitation  in our father's house in Heaven.  Yes, we abide in the natural realm in our physical bodies here on earth for a while, but God in his grace and mercy, once we are saved, makes it possible to live in our physical bodies here  on earth  and to dwell in both the natural  and the spiritual realm  at the same time.   We are made in the image of God with body, soul,and spirit.  Our bodies were provided for a temporary dwelling  here on earth, and our soul and spirit, the real us, for everlasting life with God in heaven.  

How can we be dwelling in the secret place that God has provided for us under the shadow of his wings, so to speak, while in our bodies here on earth?  It is the work of the Holy Spirit who comes to live within us.  He is our comforter, our guide, our teacher, and friend, and he bears witness with our spirit that we are indeed the children and righteousness of God through Christ.  He gives us the mind of Christ And brings all our thoughts and imaginations into conformity with Christ, thus we can dwell and have our habitations in the secret place of the most high God and be safe evermore.

" He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation." Psalm 91
