Where does God dwell? You can look at Psalms 27 and it talks about that. I want to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. But if God is omnipresent, what physically can hold him? And what I've been saying, and I was clear about it, the dimension of heaven is not primarily geographical. I can say it's primarily dimensional, because as a spirit in that world, everything over there is spiritual. Let me continue to read. Keep ahold of that point. And it says in the latter part of this phrase, verse 24, “dwelleth not in temples made with hands.” Meaning, you couldn't make a building that could hold God, even though we can see clearly in the Old Testament buildings were emphasized, cities. Jerusalem as a city. Israel as a people, the nation is called Israel, temples that were built. In the New Testament, Jesus comes as the last Adam. No buildings at all emphasized. --Wellington Boone

God Is Omnipresent

All born-again Christians have the resurrection power to change any disfavorable condition on earth, but we don't exercise it. We don't seem to get it. God originally created on the earth the best conditions for living in a way that would please God. He created Adam to be godly. Adam had God's vision and at first he exercised his responsibility over the whole earth, but he abdicated through the influence of the serpent. Jesus came and went to the cross. He suffered and died to pay the price for Adam's sin so that we as Adam's descendants could regain what Adam lost (Romans 5:19). Because of Jesus' resurrection, every person who is born again does not die. Your body gives out, but you personally don't die. You are going to heaven, but your authority begins on earth. You train for heaven while you are still on the earth by becoming godly in your behavior and exercising Jesus' authority to change the world.

Resurrrection Power to Change the World

Bishop Boone's Prayer 2022 - 10 - 31

There was unity in the Garden before Adam sinned. Jesus restored unity when He died for our sins. That means in Christ you have unity in the house, unity in the family, unity in the church, unity in the races, unity in the political arena. Jesus taught us to say, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven.” That means you don't wait to get to heaven to be like heaven. You learn from Jesus “as it is in heaven” then you order your steps to match the place where you are going, which is heaven. Some day, when you walk out of this world into the next world, you will already have behavior that fits heaven. You did not wait for heaven to become heavenly. Introduction by Pastor Calvin Duncan, pastor of Faith and Family Church, Richmond, Virginia.

Don't Wait For Heaven To Become Heavenly

Somebody wrote to tell me who to vote for and when I see them I'm going to say, "Don't ever do that again. You're a low information person. You don't even claim to be a Christian." 
Every now and then, he'll send a nice little quote of something he's read, but I'm going to tell him, "You are quoting what other people researched and you like what they said. I'm a researcher. You're a low-information person. You don't do critical thinking. You're not even a voice. You're an echo." 
Many Christians are like that. They don't go to original sources. They don't even go to the best source of all—the Bible.

Low Information Christian Voters

As we begin 2023 with a time of fasting, prayer, and consecration, Bishop Boone gives us the example of Father Nash, who prevailed in prayer for the 18th century evangelist Charles Finney. He challenges Christians to return to church and to be personally and corporately houses of prayer. Set your priority on God and fulfill His calling on your life. You are a conqueror, so always be faithful.

Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation is one of the most important events in American history and it was awaited and celebrated in churches. It was an answer to prayer to restore America to one nation under God. All men are created equal, Black and White. Bishop Boone focuses on the role of the churches and challenges us to change history by our commitment, consecration, and empowerment of others through Jesus Christ.

Forgiving Others Is a Prerequisite to Access
Jesus has all authority. He gives believers access to His authority, but there are important prerequisites before you can access God. One is forgiveness. Unless you forgive others, you cannot operate in the character of Christlikeness. Unforgiveness disqualifies you. If you have power, you will be vindictive. You cannot be trusted. God won't hear you. Yield to God. Follow Jesus’ example. He yielded all the way to Golgotha. Don't look at relationships from a human perspective but from God's eternal perspective.

Forgiving Others Is A Prerequisite To Access God

Imitate God
Ephesians 5:1 seems to take us way out there by saying “be imitators of God, as dear children.” However, Jesus gave that authority to the Church and with the Helper, the Holy Ghost, we can imitate God now in preparation for eternity. Most Christians still find it amazing that there's a potential to imitate the God who created us, but think about this. In the natural construct, everyone carries the natural DNA of a natural father. Every person living has the genetic bloodline from the father. But then this is also true spiritually. We have the genetic imprint of our heavenly Father. That's what the Bible says in the New Testament, particularly regarding the new birth. God is getting that across to us with the help of the Holy Spirit so that we can become a great and glorious Church for Him.

The Church Has The Authority To Imitate God

God is such an amazing Father! He brought us to the earth to take our position as leaders. He has given us His Word and you and I can put our total confidence in it. When you die, do you think you will be able to hold God accountable and say, “God, why didn't you change my circumstances?” He will say, “I made my plans for you and they're working out perfectly.” Your situation now is not permanent. What you will know then is the stuff you need to know now. If you don’t know why you should stay alive, remember that God wants you to be godly. Jesus made you for His purpose. Why would you want to die without fulfilling the will of the One who made you? God offers life to you right now. Ask Jesus to come into your heart. Tell him you're sorry for rejecting Him, and He will forgive you right now. Then you can become the champion God has ordained you to be.
