Pursuing Holiness- Part 15

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.
