1 Cor 10:12-13 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. As the children of God, he knows our hearts and he knows the very thought of those hearts. He knows if we long for sin and its pleasures and he will bring you through the fires of God and you will be tempted by the weaknesses of your heart until you have thoroughly had a full belly of it and are willing to get ride of it for good. James 1:12-18 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. If we love the Lord, we will repent and endure the temptations we bring upon ourselves. 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. It is because of our own evil concupiscence we are tempted, deep within, we desire the sin and the pleasures it brings.  15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. Don’t think you can desire sinful pleasures and not be enticed by them and sin before God. Every good and perfect gift is from God, but he will not be partaker of your evil concupiscence’s and your lust of the flesh. There is no compromising with him. Not even a slight turning toward it. We must conform to his image and allow him to chisel away until we get to be the first fruits of his creatures. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Rev 3:10-12 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Those who allow God to work within their hearts and transform them into the fruits of righteousness and let the word of God do its job within them will be made into pillars of the Church, Markers of the temple of God, and will have a new name written within them. A pillar cannot have any flaws within it or it will give under the load of the structure bearing down upon it. All air bubbles and cracks must be worked out of the concrete before it is allowed to harden, we must be worked the same by the Spirit.

All blemishes, spots and wrinkles must be worked out of our hearts and a pure heart must dominate the thoughts and intents of the heart. Rev 3:17-19 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: We can’t see all that we need to get rid of to be the pillars of Gods temple, but after we are tried by the fires of God and rebuked and chastened, we will get that way and stand before him unashamed.  18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Willing to die to the flesh and crucify the ole man is an awesome task while we have hidden desires deep within our hearts. But presenting ourselves as a living sacrifice we will be slain by the fires of purification and purging of the word of God unto an holy vessel of honor for God to work with. We must renew our thought life and inner desires to conform to the image of Christ and prove to this world Jesus has come in the flesh and has transformed my life into an holy temple, a Holy Marker for all to see. Rom 12:1-2  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 
A Church of Prophecy Marker, isn’t just a stone sitting on a corner somewhere. Its an individual who has gotten saved, joined The Church of God and has allowed God to fashion him into a pillar and a marker that this world can look upon and see the great works of God manifesting within his heart and life. Allowing God to chisel away all that does not reflect his son Jesus Christ, and enduring the temptations of the past to allow God to show him where he is needing the spirit of grace to come in and get it right. The testimony of Jesus Christ, is the spirit of Prophecy,  as a marker we stand solid and unmovable in the face of this wicked world testifying, we have been with Jesus, and he abides within our hearts, that we may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. That is that we love one another as he has loved us. John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Let patience have her perfect work and dare to die to this world and love the brethren, then you will be a marked man, they will know you have been with the Master, and you are a living epistle, known and read by all men, and a marker of prophecy, a testimony of the wonderful works of God.
