Volume XII, Page VII Saturday September 2, 2006       "3rd Temple Prophecy!" "A Spiritual UnVeiling!" 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (New International Version) For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames. Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? The Apostle Paul wrote this letter to the Corinthian church, several years prior to the destruction of the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem around 70 AD. Actually, Paul knew that when the 2nd Temple veil was torn from top to bottom at the very moment Christ died on that cross at Calvary, this was when the 3rd Temple foundation was laid in the heart and mind of believers by God.

Volume XII, Page VIII Wednesday September 6, 2006       "Preparation!" "Foretaste of HIS Glory!" 2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (New International Version) But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom... The veil which the Apostle Paul mentions earlier in this letter, was worn by Moses to shield the Israelite people from the Glory of God, where no sinful man could enter HIS Presence and live.

Volume XII, Page IX Friday September 8, 2006       "Resurrected Life at Work!" "Through HIS Death!" 2 Corinthians 4:8-12 (New International Version) .....We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake,..... The Apostle Paul speaks clearly of Life that is being revealed and is at work in me through the death to my sinful nature that before worked in me.

Volume XII, Page X Monday September 11, 2006       "Rejoice Always!" "Prayer and Thanksgiving!" Philippians 4:4-7 (New International Version) Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition..... Being a Believer in Christ, I must not look to the circumstances that surround me for the Joy, Hope or Happiness that I have, but to Christ, because it is only from HIM that I have received such blessings.

Volume XII, Page XI Wednesday September 13, 2006       "Winning the Struggle!" "Continue in Labor!" Colossians 1:28-29 (New International Version) We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me. The Apostle Paul refers to the commission that he and all believers have been given by God, that of proclaiming, teaching and also encouraging everyone.

Volume XII, Page XII Monday September 18, 2006       "Committed to Fulfillment!" "Gaining HIS Glory!" Matthew 16:26-28 (New International Version) What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?.... Christ Jesus was telling HIS disciples of the committment that we must make in order to follow HIM.

Volume XII, Page XIII Tuesday September 19, 2006       "Believe and See!" "Christ in HIS Glory!" John 11:40 (New International Version) Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" I read this passage and have to realize that Jesus was speaking not only to those who were in HIS very Presence that day, but HE is also speaking to me 2000 years later.
