These scriptures in Bible tell us God lives in each person who belongs to HIM.
* I Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
* I Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
* II Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
It is not that we go to a church. We are the church. Jesus lives in us and guides us in the will of God and speaks through us by HIS Spirit who lives in us.

Jesus speaks through us: Jesus says:
Example: Radio station manager in Seattle said to me, "Joan, you have many wonderful messages. Just speak those messages. If you continue to speak these 'judgment' messages, I don't know what will happen to you. We may have to put you off the air."
Holy Spirit arose in me to speak the following to the station manager: "George, if I don't speak the message I believe to be from God then I don't have a message and I may as well be off the air."

Jesus says:
A Methodist woman was complaining about people who judge others.
The Holy Spirit arose in me to say: "If you judge they are judging, aren't you judging?"
The woman gasped! It was as if she were a balloon filled with hot air and someone stuck a pin in her.
***
I have learned not to plan ahead what I will say but rather to
depend on God to remind me of that which HE wants me to say. For I know
the Holy Spirit of Jesus dwells in us to do the work of God through us,
speaking as HE wills according to HIS purpose.

Isaiah 55:8-13 God says ... For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall MY word be that goeth forth out of MY mouth: it shall not return unto ME void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall MY word be that goeth forth out of MY mouth: it shall not return unto ME void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
