"Sometimes it is really hard to worship without a house of God to gather but if your heart is true you will still worship God even if the gathering is only at home" says Pastor Jarobel Ronie Papio.
Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy these words, "But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15). The church is the house of God, the Spirit-filled believers!
In the Scripture, the being born of the Spirit is synonymous with the baptism of the Spirit, gift of the Holy Ghost, receiving the Spirit, or indwelling of the Spirit. When the Spirit of God dwells in us with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gave utterance, we become the temple of God. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Timothy 1:14; 1 John 4:12, 15-16). What is the purpose of the indwelling of the Spirit of God in us? We are "sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory" (Ephesians 1:13-14). And if the Spirit of God, who raised up Jesus from the dead, lives in you, he will make your dying bodies live again after you die, by means of this same Holy Spirit living within you (Romans 8:11). This is the reason of hope that is in the Spirit-filled believers.
