HOLY "ARE YOU KIDDING ME"

I mean, I know myself better than anyone and the one way I would not describe myself is "HOLY." And yet I think this is the way that most of us think about ourselves when it comes to being holy. We often think that holiness is attained to by keeping religious rules or some kind of behavior modification that makes us a better person. Some people even believe the way you dress of the way you wear your hair is what makes you holy, and yet none of this is true at all.

The offering of the Body of Jesus is the only way that you and I could be made holy. God has sanctified us (set us apart as Holy) by the sacrifice of his son on the cross. It is impossible to attain unto holiness outside of the finished work of the cross. The power of Jesus blood has separated us unto the Father, and we are sanctified by one offering and forever perfected by the offering of the body of Jesus, Hebrews 10:10--14. Wow, can you believe that? Takes all the self-righteous works out of it when you only believe!

I am still amazed at the love of God when I read verses like these which reveal another aspect of Gods redeeming Grace. Who would ever have thought that a person could attain to holiness by simply receiving what God has done through His son Jesus. You and I received holiness when we received the Lord Jesus, The bible declares "That he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit"

I Corinthians 6:17, the Bible also declares That Jesus was declared to be the son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, Romans 1:4.

If it is the spirit of holiness that declared Jesus to be God's son, it's the same spirit of holiness that declares us to be Gods children. We are separated unto the Father by the spirit of holiness. It is a work of Grace and we can only enjoy the blessing of holiness through faith. Just believe Gods word and thank Him for the privilege of being holy by simply being joined unto the Lord! When were you joined unto the Lord? When you received as him as your Lord and Saviour and was born-again. Yes as Gods children we are a royal priesthood, an Holy Nation, a peculiar people; that we should show forth the praises of him who hath called us out of darkness into his marvellous light. I Peter 2:9

THINGS TO COME

Many times we as Christian are concerned about future prophetic events which the Bible prophesies to happen in the near and distant future... In our generation we have seen many prophesies already fulfilled which are pointing to the coming of the Lord! However did you know that the Holy Spirit wants to help you with things in your own personal life that are going to happen.....like tomorrow or maybe....... a year from now! Things that will bless you and prepare you for whats coming. Jesus said the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth when He is come, He will show you things to come.

Often the Holy Spirit has shown me something that was going to happen in order to prepare me for what's coming! This is part of His ministry to the believer. You don't have to be a preacher or a prophet or even someone super spiritual for God to show you something. You just need to love the Father and his son Jesus and be willing to fellowship with them through the person of the Holy Spirit. God knows what's going to happen to you in the future and will show you things to come that are relevant to you and his purpose for you. The Holy Spirit wants to get involved with us in personal way that He may guide us into all truth, this is a promise from Jesus!

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth

is come, he will guide you into all truth:

for he shall not speak of himself; but

whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he

speak; and he will show you things to come

John 16:13

We can never predict what tomorrow will hold, but we can certainly walk with the one who holds our tomorrow, and as he has promised us in his word He will show us things to come that we may both be blessed and be a blessing to our families and those around us. This has been a tremendous help to me personally over the years as numerous times I have been shown things that are going to happen and been able flow in the divine purpose of God. It's amazing to see the future unfold before your very eyes, Truly God knows our future and is willing to show us things to come as we receive the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
