To me, it would mean this--He wants to dwell with us and be our God--


2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.


--Rev 21

Quote"God will save your soul, you will go to house of God"

Is this a prophecy? As in "God will save your soul and you will go to the house of God, " or a directive? You didn't hear, "God will save your soul if you go to the house of God." It may be one of those things where you are in a situation and God says "This is it! I will save your soul in this house."

The thing about words that God gives you, they are personal and He will reveal exactly what He means to you. When I hear 'house of God', I think of a corporate man, but it could be individual, or maybe a church building depending on how your Father talks to you. Anyway, the word you heard sounds good!!

Love, Sarah

I believe in this case "The house of God" is referring to you experiencing His presence. Knowing His presence (experientially) equals 'salvation'.

I know, I am still learning everything about God's grace.

It's sad, I still go to church not because of fear, I just love these people in the church, my wife (who is deaf, and I am hard of hearing) teach these sign language, they were nice people.

It hurt me when one of my good friend called me a "false prophet" because I told her about how God save all mankind out of love and she warn me about the whatever not in the bible or word of god, come from the devil.

I can't tell her to be careful not to say "devil" in front of God' grace! I mean, it's exactly like Pharasee called Jesus a "devil" because they didn't like what Jesus teach, like what I do.

I still love these people but it so sad because of this:

one of my friend told me that prayer is so important to God (I knew that!) and when she was playing puzzle game, she forgot to pray, so she thought to herself, "should I stop playing puzzle game or keep playing? NO! I must pray, I will stop playing and start praying"

She doing this out of fear!!

The frustrating thing to me is, it is in the Bible...so many just can't see it.  But again, although we are to proclaim (I Tim. 2:4 "Jesus, Savior of all men"  and verse 5--"charge these things and teach") it is still up to God to veil and reveal...He will...we have to hang onto the fact that He will...God's blessing, James.
