Are you willing to be fully sanctified: spirit, soul AND body?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5:
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 He Who calls you is faithful, Who also will do it.
FATHER is willing to set you apart, making you completely Holy. This includes your entire being—spirit, soul, and body— to be kept completely flawless in the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. HE Who has called you by name is trustworthy and will thoroughly complete His work in you if you will submit to HIM in all areas… without exception.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 3:
11 Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.
12 And may the Lord make you increase and abound in Love to one another and to all, just as we do to you,
13 so that He may establish your hearts blameless in Holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.
What is required for our hearts to become blameless? Love!
Our hearts will be strengthened in Holiness so that we may be flawless and pure before the face of our God and Father at the appearing of our Lord Jesus with all his Holy ones. Amen!
It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 14:
12 “How you are fallen from Heaven, O lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;
By pride, satan fell as he attempted to ascend and exalt himself above GOD. Once pride was found in him, he lost all!
Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 16:
18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
19 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
It is imperative that we allow The Word to cleanse us of all aspects of pride! Pride desires to be separated from GOD and be exalted by men. We should be willing to serve rather than be served!
Wisdom revealed that our boast becomes a prophecy of a future failure. The higher we lift ourselves up in pride, the harder we’ll fall in disgrace. It’s better to be meek and lowly and live among the poor than to live high and mighty among the rich and famous. One skilled in business discovers prosperity, but the one who trusts in God is blessed beyond belief!
Do you insist on your way or GOD’S Way? Pride wants its own way. Pride prevails in a competitive world. Why do you think sports have become a multibillion-dollar industry? Another aspect of competition is division for it promotes divisiveness. When there is competition, there will be no overall unity.
Will you walk according to your own will or the Will of Our Heavenly Father?
Jesus 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.
25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the Voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will Live.
26 For as the Father has Life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have Life in Himself,
27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.
28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His Voice
29 and come forth-those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own Will but the Will of the Father Who sent Me.
FATHER sent you and me at this time in history as well…
