God has a plan.

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”—Matthew 24:36

God has a plan.

On the cross, Jesus cried out with a loud voice and gave up His spirit.And at that very moment, the veil in the temple was torn in two—from top to bottom.(Matthew 27:50–51)

It was no accident. It was a divine sign.The Holy of Holies was no longer behind a curtain—it had moved.The presence of God no longer dwells in buildings made with hands.Now, He abides in every soul that has been born again by the Spirit of the living God!

As Scripture declares:

“For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.’”—2 Corinthians 6:16

The temple cannot save you.Religious identity cannot save you.Head knowledge, tradition, or family heritage cannot save you.Only the Holy Spirit is the true mark of belonging to God!

“The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound,but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”—John 3:8

That same Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.(Romans 8:16)

And as God’s children, we are given His nature—His discernment, His sensitivity, His caution—so we might keep ourselves unstained by the world.

In the Lord’s Prayer we cry out:“Deliver us from the evil one”—Satan, the prince of this world, the roaring lion, the ancient serpent.

The apostles gave clear warnings—drawn from painful experience—about those who claim to be brothers, but in truth are servants of darkness:

“I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brotherbut is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler.With such a person do not even eat.”—1 Corinthians 5:11

They may slip into churches, but their hearts are like wolves in sheep’s clothing.God’s plan is to expose those who have utterly abandoned their conscience—who have become useless vessels, filled with hatred for all that is holy.Some have gone so far as to betray the Holy Spirit Himself—a sin so severe that Jesus said there is no forgiveness for it.(Mark 3:29)

It is the cancer of the soul.And the Spirit of God will never return to dwell there again.

But the day is coming—yes, it is near—when the Holy Spirit will be taken from the earth,and with Him will go all those who were born of the Spirit and walk in His light.

God will separate the sheep from the goats,the wheat from the tares,the children of God from the children of the devil.

Jesus said:

“I am the Vine, you are the branches.If you remain in Me, and I in you, you will bear much fruit.For apart from Me, you can do nothing.If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers.Such branches are gathered and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.But if you remain in Me, and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”—John 15:5–7

So let it be.May we remain in Him, filled with the Spirit,anchored in truth,bearing fruit that endures for eternity.

Amen.
