As we walk in Holiness, we must not be fearful during troublesome times!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Daniel chapter 9:

25 “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times.

26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.“

Daniel was given the Seventy-Weeks prophecy concerning the rebuilding of Jerusalem.  This is a type and shadow of the coming Kingdom of GOD on the earth.  FATHER warned us of the troublesome times to come but we are to be of good courage, and we need to keep the HIS endgame in mind.

FATHER expected there would be conflict with the adversary in restoring Jerusalem thus HE issued the warning to Daniel.

Jesus acknowledged the troublesome times when He spoke to the disciples in John chapter 16:

31 Jesus replied, “Now you finally believe in Me.

32 And the time has come when you will all be scattered, and each one of you will go your own way, leaving Me alone! Yet I am never alone, for the Father is always with Me.

33 And everything I’ve taught you is so that the peace which is in Me will be in you and will give you great confidence as you rest in Me. For in this unbelieving world you will experience trouble and sorrows, but you must be courageous, for I have conquered the world!”

As we mature in Holiness, we will walk in peace and not be moved by the trouble and sorrows all around us.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

9 Let Love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly Love, in honor giving preference to one another;

11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;

13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

In other Words, live happily together in a spirit of harmony, and be as mindful of another’s worth as you are your own. Don’t live with a lofty mind-set, thinking you are too important to serve others, but be willing to do menial tasks and identify with those who are humble minded. Don’t be smug or even think for a moment that you know it all.

17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

As I have stated, troublesome times are ahead.  Lies are being exposed in an accelerated fashion.  What we have been fed by “the media” for most of our lives will be found to be false narratives to accommodate the nefarious intent of those in power.  Be not discouraged, FATHER has taken all of this into account.  Those who walk in Holiness will access the power and authority of Heaven and will overcome the turbulent times ahead!

As we walk in Holiness, we shall see THE LORD!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:

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.

15 Watch over each other to make sure that no one misses the revelation of God’s grace. And make sure no one lives with a root of bitterness sprouting within them which will only cause trouble and poison the hearts of many.

16 Be careful that no one among you lives in immorality, becoming careless about God’s blessings, like Esau who traded away his rights as the firstborn for a simple meal.

17 And we know that later on when he wanted to inherit his father’s blessing, he was turned away, even though he begged for it with bitter tears, for it was too late then to repent.

We are to pursue peace with all people, and Holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.  We must protect our hearts from the world’s impurities.

Jesus prayed for His Disciples AND you and me in John chapter 17:

9 “I pray for them (My Disciples). I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.

10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your Name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.

You and I are meant to be in unity as Our Heavenly Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ are ONE!

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your Name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

Sadly, there will be those who are lost, but let us not be found among them for any reason.

13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 I have given them Your Word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

The world will hate us, that Truth is manifesting all around us.  Fear not but be of good courage as the enemy attempts to propel his fiery darts toward us.

15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.

16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them by Your Truth. Your Word is Truth.

Our hearts are cleansed and purified by The Word.  Daily purification guards against the impurities that the world tries to expose us to in a persistent manner.

18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by The Truth.

Let us not focus on being harpazo’d but instead we should pursue and fulfill our individual missions on earth.  This is where our reliance on The Holy Spirit is vital in our daily lives.

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their Word;

This includes you and me!

21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:

23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have Loved them as You have Loved Me.

In other Words, the very glory FATHER have given to Jesus, He has given us so that we will be joined together as one and experience the same unity that They enjoy.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

As my heart is sanctified by The Word, it will become pure which will result in my eyes seeing Our Heavenly Father.  What a blessing!

As we walk in Holiness, we should expect not only to heal the sick, but also to raise the dead IN HIS NAME!

It was not that long ago that Peter had denied Christ three times.  After Jesus rose from the dead, ministered to the disciples for forty days, and sent forth The Holy Spirit, Peter was a transformed man who walked in Holiness.  His blunders show us that no matter what our past is, we too can walk in the same Holiness as Peter… as well as Paul!

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 9:

32 Now it came to pass, as Peter went through all parts of the country, that he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda.

33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years and was paralyzed.

34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately.

35 So all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.

The man’s physical body totally responded to the Name of Jesus Christ.  He had suffered for eight years and surely sought any and all means for healing by man.  None of those attempts produced any results.  Jesus the Anointed One immediately and divinely made him whole.  Peter himself took no credit. 

This miracle resulted in many turning to THE LORD. 

Peter instructed Aeneas to make his bed.  Aeneas would no longer lay in bed 24 hours a day.

36 At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.

37 But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

38 And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.

39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

40 But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.

41 Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.

43 So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with Simon, a tanner.

Peter prayed earnestly for Tabitha and her body responded with her physical life being restored to her.  He then presented her to the others.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 4:

3  But even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the Image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.

6 For it is the God Who commanded light to shine out of darkness, Who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ.

7 But we have this Treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

If you are mature in your walk of Holiness, you will in no way attempt to take credit for the healings and miracles of those for whom you pray.  You and I are bondservants, and all the glory is to be given to Jesus Christ.  We are simply His instruments here on earth.

As we walk in Holiness, demons will recognize our Spiritual authority and submit to the power and authority given to us by Jesus Himself!

Mark wrote by The Holy Spirit in Mark chapter 1:

16 And as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

17 Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

18 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

19 When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

20 And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.

21 Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.

22 And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Those in attendance were astonished at His teaching.

23 Now there was a man in their synagogue demonized by an unclean spirit. And the demon cried out,

24 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are-the Holy One of God!”

25 But Jesus rebuked him (the unclean spirit), saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him (the man)!”

26 And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him (the man) and cried out with a loud voice, he (the unclean spirit) came out of him (the man).

Jesus dealt with the unclean spirit, not the man.  How long do you suppose that the man had been attending the temple, yet nobody knew he had been demonized by an unclean spirit plaguing him?

27 Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”

As we walk in Holiness with power and authority, people will be amazed as well.

28 And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

The disciples had no idea of Jesus’ power and authority when they began to follow Him.  Jesus’ ministry began with the casting out of demons.

What happened next?

32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demonized.

His fame spread throughout the city and people responded:

33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door.

34 Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

Jesus was able to discern the symptoms whether a person was sick or was demonized.  Jesus reaffirmed His power and authority for 3 ½ years.  After Jesus completed His resurrection, He appeared to the disciples and spoke in Mark chapter 16:

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will follow those who believe:

In My Name they will cast out demons;

they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents;

and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them;

they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Jesus provided us with examples of our own ministry as we walk in Holiness.  We should expect no less that what Jesus commanded!

What will happen as we operate at this level of Holiness?  People will be amazed, they will spread the Word, and the whole city will gather together for ministry.  This is how you convert a city to Christ!  The physical follows the Spiritual.

When we are walking in Holiness, we only obey Our Heavenly Father, and we will be known as Sons and Daughters of GOD!

There are many believers who want to be known as “Sons or Daughters of GOD”, yet they have not committed themselves to walk in Holiness.

John wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 1:

12 But as many as received Jesus, to them gave the right to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name

There is a difference between having the right versus manifesting sonship.

Paul made the further distinction when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are Sons (and Daughters) of God.

As a believer, you have the potential to be included in this group.  The key to acceptance is being led by The Holy Spirit in all areas. 

This whole series is focused on moving those of us who are embracing this revelation into full qualification and manifestation as Sons and Daughters of GOD!

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

When you truly see the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY as your FATHER, you are moving toward maturity as an acceptable Son or Daughter.  You no longer refer to HIM as GOD, you now have an intimate relationship with HIM as FATHER.

16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are Children of God,

17 and if Children, then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

The Holy Spirit will bear witness to our sonship.  The mere fact that you are embracing this series is an indication that The Holy Spirit is drawing you into this revelation.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the Sons of God.

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the Children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

Creation is awaiting our full maturity.  We are to be the firstfruits company to be presented and accepted by FATHER WHO will in turn allow the full harvest to be completed.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who Love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Let us not despise the testing and training we have all gone through as we move toward full maturity in Christ.

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the Image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

FATHER predestined Paul to be conformed to the Image of Christ and HE intervened to correct Paul’s path in order to reveal his true calling.  FATHER has no problem in correcting our individual paths as well.  However, we do have the choice to be included once we have been chosen.  As for my wife and I, we choose Holiness leading to mature sonship.
