Will you boldly walk in Holiness?

John recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 21:

1  Now I saw a new Heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

2 Then I, John, saw the Holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a loud voice from Heaven saying, “Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

5 Then He who sat on the Throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these Words are true and faithful.”

6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of Life freely to him who thirsts.

7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Jesus differentiates the overcomer from the coward and unbelieving person.  The coward is the first one listed being sent to the lake of fire.  A coward is a person who lacks the courage to do or endure dangerous or unpleasant things brought on by the world who are opposed to the Word of GOD.

Boldness is a mark of Spirit-empowerment and is granted in response to prayer amidst persecution.  Paul prays to increase in boldness as a specific grace for proclaiming the Word.

Paul speaks of Holy boldness as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 6:

10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with Truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace;

16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints-

19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the Gospel,

20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

What caused a transformation in the disciples?  The Resurrection and Pentecost.  The resurrection caused the early church to have faith and be willing to publicly act.  When the power of Pentecost came upon the disciples, they began to proclaim The Word of GOD fearlessly into the whole world.

Where is that Holy boldness among us? 

We are to proclaim The Gospel with boldness for we have been persuaded of the resurrection of Christ, of the defeat of death… that we may have the same change in us that was in these men, who, from the moment they celebrated the Last Supper with Jesus, went into infidelity in fearfulness, but the Christ who fed them that night was raised from the dead and raised them from their fears and turned them into courageous, brave, bold, valiant, and victorious saints.

When we walk in Holiness, FATHER responds, and we are empowered with boldness!

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 4:

13 Now when they (the Sanhedrin) saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the Name of Jesus.

19  But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.

20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”

21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done.

22 For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.

The adversary’s minions who are in political power, want to suppress Truth.  They want to keep the masses subjected to them by creating a narrative of lies designed to keep people in fear of change.  It is all about enslavement.  If you are constantly subjected to a lie, you will ultimately succumb to the lie and believe that it is true.  Experts in psychology have instructed certain politicians in this methodology.  Most wars in the last few decades were unnecessary unless you were a defense contractor whose profits were based on kinetic war.

Fear did not dissuade Peter or John from being bold.

23 And being let go (after overnight imprisonment), they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made Heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them,

25 Who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: ‘Why did the nations rage, And the people plot vain things?

26 The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the LORD and against His Christ.’

27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, Whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel (an unholy alliance), were gathered together

28 to do whatever Your Hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.

29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your Word,

30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the Name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.”

31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.

It is critical for the true church to come into unity and pray for boldness, being anointed to be fully led by The Holy Spirit with signs and wonders confirming the Word of THE LORD.  They based their request quoting Palm chapter two.  None were seeking fame and fortune.  Instead, they were focused on bringing forth The Kingdom of GOD on earth as it is in Heaven.  FATHER responded!

There is a confrontation coming against the international conspiracy of the “kings and rulers” of the world.  Don’t be scared, be prepared.

The true church will be known for its Holy boldness as it was in the early church!

Walking in Holiness, being led by The Holy Spirit, is the solution?

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 4:

13 Now when they (the Sanhedrin) saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this Name.”

18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the Name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.

20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”

21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done.

22 For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.

Men can only walk in the power that has been given to them by the people.  This is why those in power create and finance division among the people.  The adversary promotes division and competition so that there will be no unity among the people.  Without unity, those in power tend to remain in place.

23 And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

24 So when they heard that, they raised their Voice to God with one accord and said:

“Lord, You are God, Who made Heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them,

25 Who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: ‘Why did the nations rage, And the people plot vain things?

26 The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the LORD and against His Christ.’

27 “For truly against Your Holy Servant Jesus, Whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together

28 to do whatever Your Hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. [29] Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your Word,

30 by stretching out Your Hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the Name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.“

31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.

Peter went from denying Christ three times to confronting the Sanhedrin in unwavering boldness.  What was the difference?  He walked in Holiness, boldness, and was led by The Holy Spirit.  I am fully persuaded by The Word of GOD that this is THE solution to our current situation!  Is there any greater priority than this?

Do we need to be well educated to walk in Holiness and serve mankind?

The Sanhedrin was a Jewish judicial and administrative body made up of local elites, including scribes, members of the high-priestly family, and lay elders. The term “Sanhedrin” comes from the Greek word sunedrion, which means “sitting together”. The Sanhedrin had two types of courts: the Great Sanhedrin, which had 71 elders and acted as the Supreme Court, and the Lesser Sanhedrin, which had 23 elders and could be found in each city.

There were two different groups in authority, that is to say, “the elite”.  Pharisees claimed Mosaic authority for their interpretation of Jewish religious law, while Sadducees represented the authority of the priestly privileges and prerogatives established since the days of Solomon, when Zadok, their ancestor, officiated as high priest.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 4:

5  And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers (the Sanhedrin), elders, and scribes,

6 as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:

9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,

10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom you crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.

11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’

12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

It is critical that you and I realize the importance of the above passage in our own walk.  It is not our education or training that really matters in dealing with the overwhelming issues at hand.  We are at a time that has never existed before on earth:

The United States has accumulated a national debt that can never be paid off.  For all practical purposes, the government is bankrupt.  Other governments are in a similar situation.

The “elites” are determined to bring all nations under a one world government.

Vaccines are being created as bioweapons against mankind. 

The goal of the elites is to move the inhabitants of the earth to a digital currency whereby they can totally control individual spending, movement, and elimination of those who challenge them.

The elites want to reduce the global population to five hundred million.

Who decides who lives and who dies?  Not you or me.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is programmed by individuals who have their own intent and narrative.  It is meant to replace The God of Heaven and earth.

Assets you own are no longer protected by law but instead are subject to those who are in control of the current financial system.

Is there hope for you and me?  Absolutely!  The King of the universe, the Creator of Heaven and earth is on our side.  The solution begins in The Spirit and as we are led by The Holy Spirit, we will walk in the same boldness as Peter and John.

We don’t need PhD’s or MBA’s to be led by The Holy Spirit.  We need to walk in Holiness and be fully led by The Holy Spirit in every step we take.

Consider the fact that the Sanhedrin was the group that fulfilled FATHER’S plan for our salvation by crucifying Our Lord and Savior.  How is HE going to deal with the current situation?  It is way above my “pay grade” but one thing I know for sure, HE is always several moves ahead of the adversary!

As we walk in Holiness, we will serve and affect change!

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3:

19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,

21 Whom Heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His Holy prophets since the world began.

22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.

23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’

24 Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.

25 You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’

26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”

Joshua spoke by THE SPIRIT in Joshua chapter 22:

5   But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to Love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.“

What does a mature Son and Daughter of GOD do?  They serve in whatever capacity they have been given.  Jesus was the Chief Servant of The Holy One so we should follow in His Footsteps.  That is what this ministry is all about: to serve mankind and move people toward Holiness.  This is accomplished as we walk in Agape Love, faith, and hope.

What will happen as we mature in Holiness?  It should be no different for us as we see with the disciples on the Day of Pentecost.  They were empowered with boldness and began walking in the power and authority of the Name of Jesus.  We should pursue doing the same.

Do you want to change the course of the country you live in?  I am persuaded that the only way to avert destruction from the current path of nations is to embrace and walk in Holiness.  Consider Peter.  No one was interested in what he had to say prior to the Day of Pentecost.  However, on that day everything changed.  He preached to 3,000 and they repented and were added to the church.   

What happened next?  It is recorded by Luke who was moved by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 4:

1  Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,

2 being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

4 However, many of those who heard The Word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

Quickly, two thousand more were added to the church.  This was not well accepted by the leaders of the day.  They were losing power over the people; The King of the Universe saw to that!  If you want to change your environment, walk in Holiness.

The Holy Spirit is the manifested Essence of Our Holiness here on earth!

Today is that Great Day of Pentecost that first occurred in 33 A.D.  This marks the day that the Ekklesia came into full manifestation with the arrival of The Holy Spirit.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

1  When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3 Then there appeared to them divided Tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other Tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in Tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned!

The early church of believers was consummated on this day.  Jesus had prepared the disciples by instructing them for forty days prior to His ascension.  They were in total and complete unity. 

Upon the indwelling of The Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in Tongues, the disciples were now bold and assured in their faith.  This is evidenced when Peter stood up and spoke to the crowd who gathered to see what was happening.  They heard both the wind and those who were in one accord, speaking in other languages unknown to the disciples but were known to them.  They were amazed as they heard the wonderful Works of GOD in their own tongue.

12   So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”

13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”

Peter spoke his first message of boldness to the crowd:

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.

18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.

19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.

21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved.‘

Jesus sits at the Right Hand of GOD The Father, and as promised, He sent The Holy Spirit to lead, guide, comfort, and encourage the believers.  This includes you and me.

Peter transformed from a commercial fisherman to a fisher of men.  He fully embraced the teachings of Jesus… finally.  By the infilling of The Holy Spirit, he now had a supernatural boldness to confront the world and establish the Kingdom of GOD on earth.  We are called to do the same!
