Pursuing Holiness- Part 63

As we walk in Holiness, we will shine like bright lights in the midst of a brutal and perverse culture!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 2:

12 My Beloved ones, just like you’ve always listened to everything I’ve taught you in the past, I’m asking you now to keep following my instructions as though I were right there with you. Now you must continue to make this new life fully manifested as you live in the Holy awe of God—which brings you trembling into His Presence.

13 God will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to do what pleases Him.

14 Live a cheerful life, without complaining or division among yourselves.

15 For then you will be seen as innocent, faultless, and pure Children of God, even though you live in the midst of a brutal and perverse culture. For you will appear among them as shining lights in the universe,

16 holding out the Words of Eternal Life. I haven’t labored among you for nothing, for your lives are the fruit of my ministry and will be my glorious boast at the unveiling of Christ!

God is working in us, giving us the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.  As we walk in Holiness, our lights will shine brighter and brighter overcoming and overtaking the darkness in the world.

The Beloved Disciple wrote what he saw and heard by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 21:

5 And the One sitting on the Throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then He said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is Trustworthy and True.”

6 And He also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega-the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of Life.

7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be My Children.

Jesus describes those who will see the second death:

8 “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars-their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Do you think those who have rejected Christ will skirt His judgment and wrath?  Jesus Whose Words are Trustworthy and True, says “No!”

9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the last seven plagues came to me and said, “Come. I will show you the beautiful bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

10 He carried me away in the realm of the Spirit to the top of a great, high mountain. There he showed me the Holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God.

11 It was infused with the glory of God, and its radiance was like that of a very rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

As we walk in Holiness, we will be infused with the glory of GOD and walk in HIS radiance.

Paul experienced His radiance when he encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus.  Luke recorded this event as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 9:

3b Just outside the city, a brilliant Light flashing from Heaven suddenly exploded all around Saul.

4 Falling to the ground, he heard a booming Voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5-7 The men accompanying Saul were stunned and speechless, for they heard a Heavenly Voice but could see no one. Saul replied, “Who are you, Lord?” “I am Jesus, the Victorious, the One you are persecuting. Now, get up and go into the city, where you will be told what you are to do.”

The Holiness from the Throne Room will manifest in brilliant lights as we encounter the corrupt and perverse worldly ones standing before us.  Their attempt to challenge Our Lord Jesus Christ will cause them to fall to the ground in a similar fashion to Saul.  The Spiritual will always reign supreme over the natural.

Our pursuit and passion will be to please Our Heavenly Father in all aspects of our life, without exception!
