You are a living stone chosen by Me, shaped by Me, and positioned by Me. You were made to be part of a living wall that makes up a living temple. And that is where I dwell, in a living temple that will withstand storms and shaking ground.
As you yield to Me I will bring you into a greater awareness of your individuality, your unique design and the anointing I have placed upon you. At the same time I will increase your understanding of the whole body and your place in building strength and unity together with those I have placed around you.
Resist any urge to become isolated and shut down all thoughts of comparison. These are the strategies of the enemy to undermine the strength of the living temple that I release My glory within.
Activation: Look in the Spirit to see your shape as a living stone and then look to see those around you. Spend time with Holy Spirit asking Him how you compliment one another. Thank Him for the anointing He has placed on you and those you are in close connection with.
You [believers], like living stones, are [a]being built up into a spiritual house for a holy and dedicated priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:5 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] 1 Peter 2:5 Or are to be built.
But now [as things really are], God has placed and arranged the parts in the body, each one of them, just as He willed and saw fit [with the best balance of function].
1 Corinthians 12:18 (AMP)
From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up [a]in [unselfish] love.
Ephesians 4:16 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] The key to understanding this and other statements about love is to know that this love (the Greek word agape) is not so much a matter of emotion as it is of doing things for the benefit of another person, that is, having an unselfish concern for another and a willingness to seek the best for another.
