GOD STILL WANTS HOLINESS


There is a voice that is less heard than any other.  That voice is from the Spirit of Holiness. 

For Jesus is declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of Holiness.  Someone may ask , why? Men love darkness rather than light... People have settled for that which is temporal, that is, the carnal.  Material gain has Choked the Word of God in many.  Therefore, compromise is the action of prophets, and others alike. 

God is a holy God.  There is no other way to walk with Him except in the beauty of holiness.  A holy life is what is His leading for all to live.  Those born of His spirit are born of the Holy Spirit.  The seed of the Word of God is a holy seed.  Our covenant is a holy covenant.  His people are a holy people.  All others are liars.

Holiness is not a denomination it is a way of life.  It is the life that is conformed to rhe Word of God.  It is that one which is separate from sin.  That person who lives a holy life does it through Jesus Christ our Lord.  We do not have dogmas and doctrines of men which lead to death.  We live by faith and obedience to the scriptures spoken by His Holy prophets and Jesus Christ.

The Word of the Lord comes now, "Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting Holiness in the fear of God."  What does this mean?

As the people of God we are to abstain from the appearance of evil.  We are to flee lusts.  Temperance is the order of the day.  We do those things which are wise, not too much and not too little.

God our Father is allowed to guide us through His Word.  The Holy Spirit is the one who is kept as our main consultant.  He is our keeping power.  His conviction rules our lives.  When He singles out something that is displeasing to the Faither, we allow Him to purge us of that thing.  Usually through the preaching of the Word things are identified.  Then He works with us to rid us of those things that offend the holiness of God, His presence in our bodies and in our lives.  For we are the temple of a Holy God.

Let us be His and His alone. God Bless You!
