The Sanctuary

We are told in the Bible that we are the temple of the Holy Ghost. To bring this concept down to a level of understanding, the LORD spoke to me about being the sanctuary. We all know what a sanctuary is. It is the inner and most important room in the church. The sanctuary is where the church comes together to worship, hear the Word, and pray. It is a gathering place of the body of Christ. When you enter into the sanctuary you know that you must treat the place with reverance. You do not come to destroy the sanctuary. This is how we should see ourselves. We have an inner sanctuary and the Father wants to come and dwell in it. But, if it is cluttered to the point that there is no room for Him to enter the door, then He cannot dwell there. Is your sanctuary a place of peace or chaos? Is it a place when the LORD longs to come and stay? Or is it cluttered with so much "stuff" that there is no room to allow the LORD to dwell?
