Pursuing Holiness- Part 37

Thursday, June 13th, 2024

As we walk in Holiness, people will be given the opportunity to accept or reject Jesus Christ and none will be able to proclaim ignorance when Jesus returns!

It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 2:

2  Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD’s house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it.

3 Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

4 He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.

We are in the latter days now.  This is different than that terrible Day of THE LORD.

And in Isaiah 13:

9 Behold, the Day of THE LORD comes, Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, To lay the land desolate; And He will destroy its sinners from it.

10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine. 11 “I will punish the world for its evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

12 I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, A man more than the golden wedge of Ophir.

13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, And the earth will move out of her place, In the wrath of the LORD of hosts And in the day of His fierce anger.

Has the Day of THE LORD come yet?  No.  It will occur at the end of the 3 ½ year time of tribulation spoken of in the Book of Revelation.  Sin will be eradicated from the earth and all unrighteousness will be judged by Truth as was Sodom and Gomorrah.  Justice will prevail!

Jesus spoke of this Judgment in Matthew 25:

31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the Holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the Throne of His glory.

32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

33 And He will set the sheep on His Right Hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then the King will say to those on His Right Hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Jesus describes the righteous acts of the saints:

35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;

36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?

38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?

39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ [40] And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

He then describes the wickedness of the unrighteous:

41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;

43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

Yes, they will claim ignorance in their attempt to negotiate.

44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’

46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into Eternal Life.

As we walk in Holiness, our fruit will be a testimony to Truth and righteousness and those who observe our walk will be without excuse.  Those who compromise will have no defensible position at the time of judgment.  It is our choice whether we walk in Holiness or pursue the temporary things of the world.  Each of us is accountable for such a decision.  We cannot assign blame to anyone else.

A true overcomer will walk in Holiness and will be uncompromising in all areas!

If you are an aspiring overcomer, you will be tested for your reliability to The Word of THE LORD, count on it!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:

12  So be made strong even in your weakness by lifting up your tired hands in prayer and worship. And strengthen your weak knees,

13 for as you keep walking forward on God’s paths all your stumbling ways will be divinely healed!

14 In every relationship be swift to choose peace over competition, and run swiftly toward Holiness, for those who are not Holy will not see the Lord.

Do not give up even in your weakness and weariness. 

15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

16 lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright.

17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

Esau is the example of one who gave up and gave in to his weakness.  He forfeited his birthright and could not get it back.

18 For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,

19 and the sound of a trumpet and the Voice of Words, so that those who heard it begged that the Word should not be spoken to them anymore.

20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.”

21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)

Moses was exposed to total Holiness and experienced the Fear of THE LORD.

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the City of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,

23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in Heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

There are two separate groups: the general assembly and church of the firstborn.  Who are those among the firstborn?  The ones who have not given up their birthright.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Haggai chapter 2:

20  And again the Word of the LORD came to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,

21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: ‘I will shake heaven and earth.

22 I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots And those who ride in them; The horses and their riders shall come down, Every one by the sword of his brother.

23 ‘In that day,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel My servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the LORD, ‘and will make you like a signet ring; for I have chosen you,’ says the LORD of hosts.”

The signet ring is not a secret possession. It’s the outward sign of the authority of its owner. Through the presence of His Kingdom, God seals His work and testimony upon the world. God is the Owner.

Those who walk in True Holiness will in effect wear the unique Signet Ring of THE LORD with HIS power and authority.  They will be among the church of the firstborn who will rule and reign with Christ on earth.  They have been sealed!

When we are walking in Holiness, we will not be reluctant to confront sin!

Holiness will confront relativism.  Relativism is the doctrine that knowledge, truth, and morality exist in relation to culture, society, or historical context, and are not absolute.  Holiness will not endorse the attitude of “It’s none of my business that this person sins.”  Society now looks the other way when a woman has an abortion, or when someone practices or supports LGBTQ.  Society has allowed immoral acts to be supported rather than stand up to what is absolute in the Sight of GOD.

In the study of Genetics, XX is the female chromosome and XY in the male chromosome.  You cannot alter this Truth no matter how you try.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 8:

9  But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.”

11 And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time.

People were taken in by Simon the sorcerer and assumed he had power from GOD.

12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.

13 Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.

Philip preached The Word with miracles and signs following, a sign of true Holiness.  The people were baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ but were yet to be baptized in The Holy Spirit… two separate baptisms.

14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the Word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.

16 For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus.

17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

It is important to understand the difference between these two baptisms.  Money won’t buy the baptism of The Holy Spirit as Simon found out.

18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

19 saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”

20 But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!

21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God.

22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.

23 For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.”

24 Then Simon answered and said, “Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.”

25 So when they had testified and preached the Word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the Gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

Peter had no issue in confronting Simon’s wickedness and was not moved by Simon’s money.  We are not to look the other way when sin confronts us, neither are we to passively endorse sin by our silence.  Jesus confronted sin head on, and we should be no different.  Truth is absolute!

Walking in Holiness is possible even if you were formally an enemy of Christ and His true church!

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit what Stephen endured by the hands of the political powers in Acts chapter 7:

57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord;

58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.

59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Saul was complicit in the stoning of Stephen, the first martyr of the New Testament. Tradition tells us that Saul was born the same year that Jesus was born.  He was born in Asia Minor and studied under Gamaliel (Acts 5) who was the leading theologian of the day.  Saul of Tarsus studied for seven years and became an expert in the Old Testament as well as the Rabbinic interpretations of the Old Testament.

In chapter 8:

Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison.

One would think that such an enemy of Christ would be destined for hellfire.  What was the result of Saul’s persecution of the early church?  The Gospel was spread about:

4  Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the Word.

5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.

6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.

8 And there was great joy in that city.

The plan of the adversary backfired.  Instead of snuffing out the church through persecution, the Word spread, and the church grew throughout the regions.

Saul was fully committed to eliminating the early church.

Luke continued in Chapter 9:

1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from Heaven.

4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a Voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

What happened when Saul confronted Holiness?  He fell to the ground and was overtaken with fear and trembling.

6] So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one.

8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

When being confronted with one walking in Holiness, even the staunchest enemy can be converted to Christ.  We must keep this in mind as we pursue Holiness.  The best way to deal with an enemy is to convert him or her to Christ.

Walking in Holiness will necessitate you to confront evil head on!

Justice requires confrontation with the wicked, lawless, and unrighteous.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit what Stephen spoke to the political powers in Acts chapter 7:

44  “Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen,

45 which our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the days of David,

46 who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. 47 But Solomon built Him a house.

48 “However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:

49 ‘Heaven is My Throne, And earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the LORD, Or what is the place of My rest?

50 Has My Hand not made all these things?’

Stephen reminds the Israelites in charge of the earthly tabernacle who is truly in charge of Heaven and earth.

51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

Being fully led by The Holy Spirit, Stephen did not hold back the Truth!

52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers,

53 who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”

54 When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.

In other words, they were overtaken with violent rage filling their souls.

55 But Stephen, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into Heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the Right Hand of God,

56 and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the Right Hand of God!”

57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord;

58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.

59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Stephen sacrificed his own self-interest on behalf of the true church.  He exposed the hearts of those who were in political control.  He was a martyr for Christ.

John recorded what he heard and saw by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 6:

9  When Jesus opened the fifth seal, I saw under the Altar the souls of those who had been slain for the Word of God and for the testimony which they held.

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, Holy and True, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

Stephen’s blood was held under the altar awaiting the full judgment of THE LORD.  He boldly spoke the True Word and gave his testimony that had signs and wonders following.  He was willing to give himself for the good of many.

Walking in Holiness creates an anointed resistance to the plans of the adversary, victory is assured!

Jesus in His Holiness was the firstfruits of many. 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 15:

20  But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

23 But each one in his own order: Christ, the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the Kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rulers, all authorities, and all power.

25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.

26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

What kingdom is Jesus going to deliver to Our Heavenly Father?  The kingdom on earth… the focus of The Lord’s Prayer.  Who will Jesus use to fulfill this?  You and me… those who are committed to walk in Holiness with power and authority.  We will be counted among the firstfruits, the wise virgins with the oil of The Holy Spirit.

The firstfruits company precedes the general harvest as a Holy testimony to the rest of the world.

Moses recorded this Truth by THE SPIRIT in Leviticus chapter 23:

20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be Holy to the LORD for the priest.

There is a firstfruits of the “catching away” also known as the rapture.  What qualifies one to be in the firstfruits company?  Walking in Holiness!

The firstborn company are the ones who serve Jesus Christ here on earth.  This company will escape the tribulation that is coming, as a Father spares His sons and daughters.

There are two companies: one will meet Him in the air, and the other will be caught up to the Throne before the Great Tribulation when satan is cast down and we go up.  There will be an intensity in the final 3 ½ years because the adversary is no longer in the second heaven.  He is cast down to earth.

John recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 12:

2  Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.

4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.

5 She (the church) bore a male Child (the firstfruit company) who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His Throne.

The company of the Overcomers, the elect, are going to rule on earth with a rod of iron… to bring it into subjection to the Kingdom of GOD.  This company is made up of those who truly walk in the Fear of THE LORD, fully submit to HIS Holiness, and willingly serve HIM in all areas of their lives.  These are the ones who will be caught up to The Throne.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Malachi chapter 3:

16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that Feared the LORD, and that thought upon His Name.

17 And they shall be Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

This clearly differentiates the two companies: the firstfruits and the general assembly.  The firstfruits will be removed before the Great Tribulation as stated in the Book of Daniel.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Daniel chapter 12:

1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

What book is referred to in Daniel?  The book of remembrance referenced in Malachi.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 2:

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto Me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten Thee.

8 Ask of Me, and I shall give thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with Fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.

When one rules with a rod of iron, Truth and justice will prevail in all areas.  All resistance will be judged.  Lawlessness will be brought into submission and be shattered like clay pottery.  The Kingdom of GOD and HIS righteousness will prevail on the earth!

Sinners will be in the Hands of an Angry God!

We have been living in an age of mercy and grace… thankfully!  Coming soon will be the age of GODLY justice.  Are you prepared in your heart?  Flee from sin and pursue Holiness!

The First Great Awakening in the U.S. occurred 283 years ago.  Are you ready to be fully aware of the Justice of GOD?

“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” is a sermon written by the American theologian Jonathan Edwards, preached to his own congregation in Northampton, Massachusetts, to profound effect, and again on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut. The preaching of this sermon was the catalyst for the First Great Awakening. Like Edwards’ other works, it combines vivid imagery of sinners’ everlasting torment in the burning fires of Hell with observations of the world and citations of Biblical scripture. It is Edwards’ most famous written work, and a fitting representation of his preaching style. It is widely studied by Christians and historians, providing a glimpse into the theology of the First Great Awakening of c. 1730–1755.

Most of the sermon’s text consists of ten “considerations”:

  1. God may cast wicked men into Hell at any given moment.
  2. The wicked deserve to be cast into Hell. Divine justice does not prevent God from destroying the wicked at any moment.
  3. The wicked, at this moment, suffer under God’s condemnation to Hell.
  4. The wicked, on earth—at this very moment—suffer a sample of the torments of Hell. The wicked must not think, simply because they are not physically in Hell, that God (in whose hand the wicked now reside) is not—at this very moment—as angry with them as he is with those he is now tormenting in Hell, and who—at this very moment—feel and bear the fierceness of his wrath.
  5. At any moment God shall permit him, stands ready to fall upon the wicked and seize them as his own.
  6. If it were not for God’s restraints, there are, in the souls of wicked men, hellish principles reigning which, presently, would kindle and flame out into hellfire.
  7. Simply because there are not visible means of death before them at any given moment, the wicked should not feel secure.
  8. Simply because it is natural to care for oneself or to think that others may care for them, men should not think themselves safe from God’s wrath.
  9. All that wicked men may do to save themselves from Hell’s pains shall afford them nothing if they continue to reject Christ.
  10. God has never promised to save mankind from Hell, except for those contained in through the covenant of Grace.

The following is his 48 minute sermon. I urge you to listen to this life-changing sermon:

The greatest enemy of sin is Holiness!

We have been living in an age of mercy and grace… thankfully!  Coming soon will be the age of GODLY justice.  Are you prepared in your heart?  Flee from sin and pursue Holiness!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah 57:

20  But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

21 There is no peace, saith My God, to the wicked.

Jesus exerted His power and authority over the troubled sea that attempted to keep Him from His mission to cast the demon out of the man in the Gadarenes. (Luke 8)

Sin leaves man in a troubled state.

In chapter 59:

18  According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, Fury to His adversaries, Recompense to His enemies; The coastlands He will fully repay.

19 So shall they Fear The Name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.

When FATHER releases HIS justice on the earth, all men will fear HIM.

In chapter 66:

15  For behold, The LORD will come with fire And with His chariots, like a whirlwind, To render His anger with fury, And His rebuke with flames of fire. 16 For by fire and by His sword The LORD will judge all flesh; And the slain of the LORD shall be many.

Do you think FATHER will be slack in HIS Word concerning the ungodly who have rejected HIM?  At some point, HIS grace and mercy will no longer withhold HIS justice from coming forth… as in the days of Noah!

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 12:

1  In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2 For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.

3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

4 “And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!

6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God.

7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

The One you must fear is God, for He has both the power to take your life AND the authority to cast your soul into hell. Yes, the only One you need to fear is God.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Ezekiel chapter 8:

17God said to me, “Son of man, do you see this? It is bad enough that the people of Judah are doing these despicable things, but they also spread violence throughout the land and provoke My anger further! Look at how they insult Me in every possible way they can.

18 Therefore, with wrath I will deal with them. I will show neither pity nor mercy. They can cry to me as loudly as they want, but I will not listen to them.”

Those who provoke FATHER to anger will certainly suffer the consequences of their rebellious hearts and actions.

John wrote what he heard and saw by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 19:

11  Now I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

12 His Eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a Name written that no one knew except Himself.

13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His Name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies in Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp Sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Jesus’ first work was as a Lamb.  His second work is as The Lion of Judah!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 9:

22  And in the same way, although God has every right to unleash His anger and demonstrate His power, yet He is extremely patient with those who deserve wrath—vessels prepared for destruction.

23 And doesn’t He also have the right to release the revelation of the wealth of his glory to his vessels of mercy, whom God prepared beforehand to receive His glory?

It is vital that we flee sin and its ramifications of judgment.  Pursue Holiness for sin cannot exist in the Presence of Holiness!

The next seven months!!

Where is the average American? Is he riding in the back of a clown car and oblivious to what is occurring all around him?

There are so many issues plaguing the globe and the average American is still naïve concerning the state of the current geopolitical environment.

A commentary by Bill Holter:

The Rule of Law?

THE ONE THING that steered capital towards the United States was “the rule of law.” Capital from the four corners of the Earth flowed into the US because the rule of law was the most solid and fair on the planet. That, is a thing of the past. Now you will see a capital flight, devaluation, and hyperinflation fitting of the Banana Republic we have become!

  Late last year, the US said they were “freezing” $300 billion of Russian owned US Treasuries. Almost to the day, gold and silver began to move higher. A week ago, it was announced there are discussions to use $50 billion of these bonds as collateral for a loan to Ukraine. What would you think if someone stole your funds and then used them to support your enemy? And what would you think in regards to how this fits in with the rule of law?

  Today, former President Trump was convicted of 34 felonies. It doesn’t matter what you think of Trump. Whether you are a supporter or not, or even have TDS Trump Derangement Syndrome, the New York case is nothing but a travesty. Anyone with a brain half screwed on knows this was a railroad job. Again, no matter what you think of the man, you now know the government can destroy you any time they please. Only Banana Republics do this kind of stuff…

  The above said (and I could have said MUCH MORE on both!), this is so negative for confidence …and the world now runs on nothing but confidence! Understand that without confidence, credit is not forthcoming, and without credit, EVERYTHING STOPS! Capital will now flee the US and the West in general.

  Some are saying May 30, 2024 was the day Donald Trump won the election (assuming there is one?). It may go down as the day the US formally became a banana republic? It may be the day that the dollar went on a ventilator? Watch gold/silver and interest rates to see what the verdict is. I believe they just rang the bell at the starting gate to monetary hell!

Another commentary:

These guys know what they are talking about… pay close attention.

OUR SOLUTION IS SPIRITUAL-BASED! Those who walk in Holiness will navigate whatever lies ahead!

Pursuing Holiness- Part 6

Monday, May 13th, 2024

Father’s Holiness accepts The Blood of Christ thus allowing our right standing before HIM and approach in Holiness!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:

16  For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the Power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the Truth in unrighteousness

We are to live by faith in The Gospel of Christ for this is where we can and should access the Authority AND Power of GOD.  The Holy Blood of Christ allows us to stand before FATHER and live!

With this understanding, we can truly appreciate the Words of Jesus as He spoke in John chapter 3:

16  For God so Loved the world that He gave His Only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting Life.

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the Only Begotten Son of God.

The Blood of Christ is pure and Holy thus It sanctifies us and allows us to enter in The Holy of Holies in Heaven.

Jesus further spoke in John chapter 5:

24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My Word and believes in Him who sent Me has Everlasting Life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into Life.”

The word everlasting means: without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be; without beginning; without end, never to cease.

Jesus again spoke in John chapter 6 concerning Holy Communion:

53  Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in you.

54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has Eternal Life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.

56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

58 This is the bread which came down from Heaven-not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 6:

22  But now, as God’s Loving servants, you live in joyous freedom from the power of sin. So consider the benefits you now enjoy—you are brought deeper into the experience of true Holiness that ends with Eternal Life!

23 For sin’s meager wages is death, but God’s lavish gift is Life Eternal, found in your union with Our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.

We must acknowledge every aspect of Jesus Christ as being Holy and as we do, we experience True Holiness.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 6:

7  Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap Everlasting Life.

9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

If we sow Holiness in our lives, we will reap Holiness in our lives!

Paul also wrote in 1 Timothy chapter 1:

13  Mercy kissed me, even though I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor of believers, and a scorner of what turned out to be True. I was ignorant and didn’t know what I was doing.

14 I was flooded with such incredible grace, like a river overflowing its banks, until I was full of faith and Love for Jesus, the Anointed One!

15 I can testify that the Word is True and deserves to be received by all, for Jesus Christ came into the world to bring sinners back to life—even me, the worst sinner of all!

16 Yet I was captured by grace, so that Jesus Christ could display through me the outpouring of His Spirit as a pattern to be seen for all those who would believe in Him for Eternal Life.

17 Because of this my praises rise to the King of all the universe Who is indestructible, invisible, and full of glory, the only God Who is worthy of the highest honors throughout all of time and throughout the eternity of eternities! Amen!

We have all suffered from ignorance in the past, just as Paul did.  However, FATHER’s grace, mercy, AND longsuffering has brought us to this point of understanding and embracing Holiness in our lives.

Peter understood the need to be Holy as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 1:

13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;

15 but as He Who called you is Holy, you also be Holy in all your conduct,

16 because it is written, “Be Holy, for I am Holy.”

If this wasn’t possible, we would not be commanded to walk in Holiness!
