Trading Spaces - The Reveal
Come on! Admit it!
You kind of like watching parts or all of the show!
It's a guilty pleasure! To see if someone will be blessed or cursed by the experience! Maybe become neighbors at war because of the new found dislike for each other!
When people see the revealing of "Trading Spaces" show unfold, People see every room that was worked on. The good and the horrifying! Maybe you would be motionless, so shocked that you are unaware how to react!
Your daily adventure you are on (whether with Christ or not) mimicks the show and will reveal to everyone who you are!
*So what exactly happens when others view your house?
*What do the visitors do?
*How do they react?
*Should you care about their opinions?
*Or maybe you are encouraging their wrong perceptions because of the way the house is designed?
As they walk through our "house," the rooms of our relationships, emotions, and actions, do they react with "oohs and awes" or tears and sobs. Do they jump for joy or uncontrollable crying?
Maybe they are so shocked that they do not know how to react!
We've got to understand the biblical importance of the house. In the Old Testament God was in the house. He dwelt in the tabernacle and in the Temple. In the New Testament he was out of the house as God revealed himself through the person of Christ. And now the Bible says we, as Christ-followers, are the house, the dwelling place for the Holy Spirit of God. (I can't stop thinking of a certain Audio Adrenaline song! Aaahhh!)
Allow me to drop a bomb on you!
Go ahead!
Get postured to take a brick to the head!
Brace yourself!
The news might OVERWHELM you!
You have a ministry!!!
Like it or not!
Christian or not!
"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own" (1 Cor. 6:19). Since we are the house, the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit of God, our life is all about revealing the décor of the Designer.
The question is, What do others see as your life is revealed?
As people tour your life, they are yearning to see what the Designer has done. When people tour homes, they get ideas for their own home or of who you are.
When people tour your life and mine, what kind of ideas do they pick up about marriage, child-rearing, priorities, honesty, character or generosity.
God wants to design a model home out of your life.
Come on! Admit it!

So don't conceal God's design...reveal it!, because the ultimate goal in life is to simply reveal the glory of the Designer. So allow the designer to get rid of your clutter. Be submissive and allow him to make the changes that are needed! Submissive is a difficult word for most of us but we need to do this to clean out our house!!!
