I go to prepare a place for you … — John 14:2
Jesus tells us that He is preparing a place for us. But I would like to suggest that He is also preparing a place for Himself.
Most of us would like a bigger house. We sure would. It seems like our house can barely contain our family of six, our school, work and ministry.
We may imagine heaven as the bigger, fancier house that we want. And we may be right in part. But let me suggest another possibility.
Heaven is a bigger house for God.
Where does God live? He lives inside you. As Pastor Cho said, "His address is your address."
God desires to fill us with His Spirit. We usually think of this from our point of view. We ask questions like: What will that look like? Or, How do we know that we are filled with God’s Spirit?
But think of it, for a moment, from God’s point of view. How do we get a great big God inside a little tiny person? Doesn’t it get cramped in there? Does He have any room at all to move around?
God needs room. So He fills our lives with experiences – many of them designed to give Him more room. Yesterday, I spoke of the line in our hearts. Why is God so intent on moving that line? Could it be that He wants more room – more room for Him to enjoy you, and more room for you to enjoy Him?
Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
