Pursue purity and Holiness and you will see GOD!
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 (actively) Pursue peace with all people, and Holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
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;
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called Sons of God.
It is one thing to tell someone to do something such as pursue purity and Holiness. But how? We must spend time in prayer and study in The Word. Our foundation must be based on Truth and revelation and Truth can only come from The Word. As I pray in The Holy Spirit, I grow in Spiritual power. How do I know this?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 1:
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of Love and of a sound mind.
What is a sound mind? It is full of revelation-light and instruction.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:
25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
If you realize that you have power, you will have courage and will not be afraid. Your trust is solely in FATHER and not man. Men’s hearts will grow faint in these last days unless they have the assurance that comes with a solid relationship with Our Lord. How can The Holy Spirit teach you ALL THINGS if you don’t spend time with Him?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are Sons 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.”
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.
As joint heirs, you and I have access to the same Divine power as Jesus did when He walked the earth. However, unless we are fully convinced in our minds that we can and should walk in the same power and authority, we will not produce the fruit Jesus expected when He 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.”
If you don’t believe you can fulfill His mandate, you won’t. Don’t let unbelief keep you enslaved any longer! The real child of GOD is to be a master over every other power of darkness in the world. The Holy Spirit in the Believer is to be as powerful as The Holy Spirit in Christ. Jesus declared “Greater works than these shall you do.” (John 14:12)
As you walk in purity and Holiness you will not only see GOD, but you will operate in full unity with HIM in all areas.
