Precious Stones



Is the Lord not worthy? Will the Lord have a temple of silver, gold, and precious stones? Have we made ourselves ready? Have we purified our hearts, thoughts, and deeds before a our Heavenly Father? He is Holy, Holy, Holy!

Jesus is God (Isaiah 9:6 | 2 Cor 5:19)

Exodus 19

1 Peter 2:5 KJV — Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

We are the prize of Yahweh, we have been redeem by the blood of the Lamb of God. You see, in the past we were earthly stones that built up the temple of Satan, built up in our own desires, our former lusts, in our own confusion and ignirqmxe, wrought in sin and deception. We were of the carnal mind, of the world that opposed Yahweh. Yet, the LORD will have mercy on His own:

Malachi 3:17-18 KJV — And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.



As born again Christians we are now of the Spirit, being sanctified and brought into the light. Let us be purified, tried and true, with the fire of the Lord burning out our imperfections, let us be refined by the Masters hand so that we may be pure gold. So that we may be precious stones in the hand and sight of Yahweh, for Christ has redeemed us and paid the greatest price of love and long-suffering.

Leviticus 20:26 KJV — And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

Many of us are still cloudy, with impurities, yet we are called to be pure and perfect so that we may shine for Him, so we may go forth as streams of water to a thirsty world, as the light amidst the darkness. Pure through and through.

The Lord knows that with pressure a diamond is perfected, and with a blazing fire gold is made pure. As it is with us, let our hearts be purified amidst the fiery trials, let us lean into Him and His majesty so that we may be tried and true and fit to adorn the Kingdom of Heaven. The Lord of souls is seeking a beautiful temple not of earthly stones, but of heavenly vessels. Let us therefore put away the  things of this world and allow the Spirit to perfect us in all long suffering and patience, as our love for Him deepens.

1 Peter 4:12-13 KJV - Beloved think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: [13] But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Praise be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Alpha and the Omega, the Lord Almighty.

Ephesians 4:21-32 KJV — If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
