Holiness

 

Seeking to be holy should be every Christians aim. Being obedient to the Lords voice, commands and leadings helps to carry us into the closeness of God.

It is commanded of us to seek holiness.

Hebrews 12:14

Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

But, how ready are Christians to look deep within, for that matter, look on the surface, of their lives. At times, I can not tell the difference between a secular person and one whom calls themselves a Christian.

Pride, judgement, disrespect all flourish in the Christian community. My heart is saddened by the state of our churches and its people. Holiness is not found through a church nor through continued sinful behavior. Do we not know the toll for throwing our deliberate sin in the face of an almighty God. Then, as if we are free of sin, we judge, correct or disrespect others.

1 Corinthians 10:9-13

We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Time is short. I, in obedience, will soon be leaving the city and doing what I see my Father do. My husband and I have brought our land into covenant with Israel, we will, no matter what, not turn our hearts from Israel. In this new place, away from the darkness of the city, I hope to grow in my holiness with the Lord.

Dear reader, I am weary from watching the walk of deliberate sin, pride and judgement. I pray that you will find those things in your life that would keep you from the threshold of Heaven and find a holy walk.

Weird

 

As Christians, we all know that "everything is possible through God".

Mark 10:27 Looking at them, Jesus said, " With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God".

I have seen and heard a lot of strange things through Christ. I am no longer surprise nor bewildered by the unveiling of the unknown by God. And yet, last night, I became a bit surprised and bewildered.

My home church met last night. We have been watching a film of prophets speaking over our city. One of them is Dutch Sheets, a remarkable man of God, whom I respect and love to hear speak.

First, I was taken into a vision during our worship time. In the vision, I was running away from people and into an unknown place. I was not running from people out of fear, it was just the way I was headed.

While running, I turned back towards the people I was running away from and waved goodbye. My face was full of joy. But, in the natural, while watching this vision, I felt alone, depressed and sad.

Then I heard the voice of God. He said, "You will come to me alone."..

I have no idea what this means nor the importance of it. I assume that all will be revealed in God's timing.

Then during the film....weird happened.

Dutch Sheets began to speak in tongues. I recognized the tongue has my own. Now, I have communicated spirit to spirit in the past. "Spirit to Spirit Communication" This communication between myself and another, was spoke in tongues, but in our own tongue. Neither myself nor the other participant, knew what one another was saying.

When I hear Dutch Sheets it was not only the same language I speak in, but I understood everything he said. While listening I would have a feeling well up in mean and an understanding come over me. I was awed.

The first words that came from his mouth were the same words I start with and in the natural they are...Glorious Yahweh. Praise be to God the almighty one.

He spoke...Yours ears, I feel your ears.
Rain of blood has fallen, but you be restored.

Then there was another praise....I have found you God my strength. You cradle my head and breathe on me then I feel life. A light that I have followed now is deep within me, nourishing my spirit. Giving me sustenance and power with authority.

Dutch Sheets sang a bit in tongues and I heard....

In the darkness of my mine
you give me mercy.
In many ways, be glorified
Be kind to me Holy Father
I lay bare before you
longing for your truth.

Come to me Lord
Come to me
You are love, love.

Will of God

 

We pray because prayer is crucial in determining God's will.

I have said many times, I try to only do what I see my Father doing. So, it is in prayer.

I offer no prayer for healing, unless my Father says, healing is what He wants. It is not always, as many think, that healing is His will.


Ecclesiastes 3

1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 2 a time to be born and a time to die


But, do we always pray God's will or do we pray a selfish prayer.

To pray for something to happen is to say to God that you know better than Him! It is to say that you do not agree with the course of events that God has laid out. It is
ignorant, misguided, confused but most of all arrogant. Asking God to act at a time when God knows it is not the right time to act is praying against His will. If it is right, God will have already planned to do it. If it is wrong, God won't do it. Your prayer will not change these facts. To pray like this is to oppose God, to harass Him, to make a statement that you think you know better! It is insolent and arrogant.

Jesus said "Get thee behind me, Satan!" to an apostle who thought he knew better than God's plan (even though the apostle was bemoaning suffering!)... by trying to sway God's mind through prayer, YOU are behaving in the same way as that apostle! No matter how good your intentions are, your own master , would call you Satanic for it! Think about what it means to pray hope or wish for things, you might find you're not doing what your God wants you to be doing! Prayer should be, first, to find out the will of God.

Of course if a desire goes against Scripture,
or if God has said no to it in a clear and resolute way, praying for it is disrespectful to God. I should merely pray that God will give me a heart to accept the situation and persist in that prayer until my heart changes. But when God hasn't plainly said no, I should feel not only freedom but a mandate to continue raising my request to him until he gives an explicit answer.


Isaiah 59:2 (New International Version)

2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. 1 John 5:14-15 (New Century Version) 14 And this is the boldness we have in God's presence: that if we ask God for anything that agrees with what he wants, he hears us.15 If we know he hears us every time we ask him, we know we have what we ask from him

Admittedly, when no answer seems to be forthcoming, we can feel uneasy continuing to raise a request to God. We worry that we're pestering God and praying against his will. We should remember, though, that prayer not only has an effect upon God but upon us. Any prayer that I make--even one for a purely personal desire--has the effect of putting me in communication with God. A channel is established through which he can influence my thoughts and feelings.

Listen for the will of God. Be cautious of your own desires.

Proverbs 3:5 (New International Version)

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding.

Because our understanding is flawed, selfish and finite .
