House of God
Today’s Topic: The House of God vs. The Houses of Mankind
Scripture: Isaiah 2:3,4
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Now when we look at the contrast between the House of God and the houses of mankind, one of the obvious differences is in ethnicity. Many of our houses or families are built along ethnic lines and some transcend through interracial or interethnic marriages. Even with that obvious difference, Satan has played off of that and the spirit of racism has plagued mankind since the beginning. Racism is not just a black-white thing, it is a spirit that runs not just in the color of ones skin but also in various sects of religion. For example you will have the Sunni Muslims fighting and murdering the Shiite Muslims on the basis of beliefs. Furthermore many still have the mindset that races should not mix as it pertains to marriage.
Thank you God for seeing past our ignorance. In this day we are seeing the growth in interracial marriages, and the growth of spiritual fathers whose households are comprised of many different races. On that note, the House of God is unique in that the House is not dependent upon the color of skin or a certain denomination or ethnicity. Since God is a Spirit then the children of God are also spirit. But as a part of the Spiritual Law that God ordained before the foundation of the world. These children, who are spirits, need a fleshly housing to live on Earth. The fleshly housing does not determine if you are in the House of God because the House is made up of spirits. But let me show you this beautiful scripture and prophecy from Isaiah.
Isaiah 2:3,4: “And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
Now the part of that scripture that should bring joy and hope to you is the latter part where in the House of God nation shall not lift up a sword against nation and neither shall they learn war any more. In the House of God there is a completely different atmosphere.
In the House of God there is peace, well being and harmony. This is completely opposite of the atmospheres that can exist in the houses of men. The nations (various people) within the House of God will be in such an atmosphere that the things that divide and destroy people and other nations will have no effect in the House of God. When you look at this prophecy it is centered in the time of the Millenial Rule of Christ when Jesus will sit on the Throne in Jerusalem and reign. What a sight and a thought.
The point I want to drive home is that all of us who are in the House of God are one (Galatians 3:28) and we are a chosen generation and a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). Our DNA or genetic lineage is directly from God and our family has nothing to do with our fleshly ethnicity.
