Discovering the Storehouse of Blessing
All Things for Life and Godliness
Part of the series: The Return to the Inner Temple
Having dwelt in the Inner Room—learning to abide, to listen, and to commune—we now take the next step: discovering the Storehouse. This is not a departure from intimacy, but its extension. From the place of union, the Spirit leads us deeper into inheritance. To begin our search for the spiritual Storehouse, we turn to Peter’s second epistle—a text often overlooked in this context, but rich with hidden architecture.
In this article:
Everything We Need
“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter 1:2-4).
This is Peter’s take on spiritual blessings, echoing much of what Paul wrote to the Ephesians, and there is so much here to unpack. First, Peter speaks specifically to blessings that pertain to this life, not just the life to come. Second, we have been given promises through our knowledge of Him. Third, these promises are the gateway by which we become partakers of the divine nature. Finally, participation in that divine nature provides an escape from the corruption of the world. This is a rich map, so let’s dive in.
Where Is the Storehouse?
The first question we need to ask is about location. If we have been given “all things that pertain to this life and godliness,” where are these things being kept? The text doesn’t say we can go to the Father in prayer and ask for what we need to live this life; rather, it says we have already been given these things. If these things have already been given, it stands to reason they must be stored somewhere accessible—awaiting discovery, not manufacture.
Jesus hinted at this, as well, when he gave his disciples the admonition to store up treasures in heaven. He said: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19-21). If Scripture is to be believed, then each of us has a Storehouse already filled with everything needed for life and godliness. But what is this Storehouse? And how do we access it, so that we might release the resources entrusted to us for this life?
Understanding the Metron
Before we continue, let me introduce the term metron. This Greek word refers to a sphere of authority or responsibility. Since we are exploring the spiritual Storehouse—a place where the resources for our earthly assignments are kept—we must emphasize that those resources are tied to a specific calling. Scripture tells us, “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). If God has assigned you a particular metron—one of the good works prepared in advance—then the provision for that assignment has already been embedded in the Storehouse.
The Sōma: Your Spiritual Body
If the spiritual body exists—and Scripture makes clear that it does—then it must reside somewhere. Yet, it does not dwell in a place of flesh and dust. The spiritual body, which we will now just refer to as the sōma, is not folded inside the skin of our mortality. It is anchored in a higher realm, which Scripture identifies as the Second Heaven. Though invisible to the natural eye, it is no less real, no less fixed, and no less vital to the believer’s calling.
The sōma—this spiritual body—is not a projection of the self, nor a mythic double. It is the actual pattern of your being in Christ, known fully to God, containing within itself the scrolls, mantles, assignments, and design blueprints that define your true life. (See this earlier article in the series for more on the sōma.) The sōma is your Storehouse; it is not a drifting satellite, nor a phantom flickering at the edge of perception. It is stable, tethered to you by the Spirit, and often accessed in moments of deep worship, prayer, intercession, or supernatural revelation. When something of heaven pierces the veil and imprints itself on your inward being—a divine calling, a commission, a healing that speaks to the root of your identity—it is often the sōma transmitting what has already been written in the heavenly places.
The Pattern Known to God
This mystery finds expression in the Psalms: “All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:16, NIV). This is not poetic flourish but theological architecture. The book is real, and the sōma—formed before you were born—houses that book. It contains your name, your destiny, your DNA code. Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is lost.
The Storehouse is not merely a repository of destiny; it is a witness to origin. It reveals not only where you are going, but from Whom you came. The Greek word sōma is more than a synonym for “body.” It speaks of form, function, and calling—a vessel fitted for glory. Paul writes that it is “sown in weakness, raised in power” (1 Corinthians 15:43), affirming that the sōma already exists in its unglorified state. Though hidden now, it is fully known to God. It is the pattern from which the Potter will shape the glorified body in the resurrection, and the interface through which the believer presently receives from heaven. This sōma is not waiting to be invented. It is waiting to be unveiled.
Witnesses Through History
Throughout the history of the Church, seers and intercessors have borne witness to this reality. They have spoken of being taken up in the Spirit to chambers filled with books, vaults brimming with scrolls, rooms where blueprints unfurled like maps of fire. These were not the inventions of mystic imagination or poetic excess. They were glimpses of the Storehouse, glimpses of the sōma, glimpses of the place where heaven keeps what earth has only begun to remember.
Access Through Surrender
With that, we return to the question: Where is the Storehouse? It is in the heavens, yes, but not at a distance. It is within reach, though not by striving. The sōma is not accessed through intellectual effort or mystical technique, but through surrender. It does not unfold through ascent, but through unveiling. It is closer than breath, woven into the fabric of your identity, awaiting the moment when the spirit remembers, the soul yields, and the heart consents to what heaven has already seen.
When the veil lifts, and you remember who you are, you will not just see the Storehouse—you will begin to live from it. The Storehouse is not new. It has always been. What is new is our language for it.
The movement of the spirit of man is not a fringe idea. It is foundational. It is how we abide, how we intercede, how we hear, and it is how we begin to recover the inner temple—by returning to the designs that God set in place from the beginning. To understand this movement is to begin to live heaven-down, and to live heaven-down is to finally walk in the rhythm for which we were made.
