And more than that, God has actually chosen us as His dwelling place! Together they explore: Intimacy - How God’s desire is not just that we encounter Him, but that He encounters us. Identity - What it means to be the living temple of God, His chosen home. Inheritance - The access restored from Eden, through the tabernacle, the temple, Jesus, and now the indwelling Spirit. Destiny - How understanding “Christ in you” transforms your life, your purity, your purpose, and your confidence before God. 🔔Follow for more conversations! 🔥For more discipleship resources visit: https://gocarrythefire.com 📘Buy a book: https://gocarrythefire.com/books
