Build and Develop: Guiding Principles

Guiding Principles

For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.

According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and another man is building upon it. Let each man take care how he builds upon it. For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?

If any one destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and that temple you are (1 Corinthians 3: 9 - 11, 16 - 17).

Prayer

O LORD our God, as for all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name, it comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. (1 Chronicles 29:16).

In open country, Villa Alessa is a gift from God overlooking great high mountains, having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, clear as crystal.

The angel took me in spirit to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city coming down out of heaven from God. It gleamed with the splendor of God. Its radiance was like that of a precious stone, like jasper, clear as crystal. - - Revelation 21:9-11

It had a massive, high wall, with twelve gates where twelve angels were stationed and on which names were inscribed. The wall had twelve courses of stones as its foundation, on which were inscribed the twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. - Revelation 21:12-14

The Lord Brought Me Back

Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east); and the water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar.

Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me round on the outside to the outer gate, that faces toward the east; and the water was coming out on the south side.

And he said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah; and when it enters the stagnant waters of the sea, the water will become fresh.

And wherever the river goes every living creature which swarms will live, and there will be very many fish; for this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.

And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing."

-- Ezekiel 47: 1 - 2, 8 - 9, 12
