Are you willing to be fully sanctified: spirit, soul AND body?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st 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 1^st 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…

Are you willing to share in the glory of Jesus Christ?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 2:

1  Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.

It is so crucial that we be all the more engaged and attentive to the Truths that we have heard so that we do not drift off course.  We must not allow ourselves to become lukewarm as was the case with the church at Laodicea in Revelation chapter 3.

2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,

3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

Paul and others confirm The Word of THE LORD.

4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

We too should bear witness!

10 For it was fitting for Him, for Whom are all things and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

In other words, for now He towers above all creation, for all things exist through Him and for Him. And that God made Jesus, pioneer of our salvation, perfect through His sufferings, for this is how He brings many sons and daughters to share in His glory.

11 For both He Who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Jesus, the Holy One, makes us Holy. And as Sons and Daughters, we now belong to His same Father, so He is not ashamed or embarrassed to introduce us as His brothers and sisters!

Jesus is the older Brother, and we are the younger members of the Family of the Same Father.  We were conceived by the same Spirit, we are energized by the same Divine Life of GOD, and we are now qualified through the Holy Spirit to perform the same blessed ministry.

16  For it is clear that He didn’t do this for the angels, but for all the sons and daughters of Abraham.

17 This is why He had to be a man and take hold of our humanity in every way. He made us His brothers and sisters and became our merciful and faithful King-Priest before God; as the One who removed our sins to make us One with Him.

18 He suffered and endured every test and temptation, so that he can help us every time we pass through the ordeals of life.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

12  “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My Name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My Name, I will do it.

15 “If you Love Me, keep My commandments.”

If Jesus expected us to do “greater works”, we should expect it as well.  What is preventing us from doing greater works?  Our mindset is and has been the limiting factor.  Peter finally understood this after Jesus spent 40 days teaching him and the other disciples.  Paul also understood this Truth which allowed the following to manifest in Acts chapter 19:

11 Now God worked (extraordinary and) unusual miracles by the hands of Paul,

12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

If miracles occurred at the hands of Paul, why not you and me?

Are you willing to be fully transformed for the purpose of being GOD’S habitation here on earth?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God.

Our spirits are perfect in Christ.  Paul now focuses on our minds and our bodies.  If we couldn’t have Holy and acceptable bodies, FATHER would not tell us that it is our reasonable service.  This is one aspect of our genuine expression of worship and reverence to FATHER.

What does being conformed to the world mean?  Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you.  Instead, be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s Will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in HIS Eyes.

What is the ultimate Holy and acceptable body?  Wouldn’t it be to manifest and radiate HIS glory outwardly?

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 9:

28  Eight days later, Jesus took Peter, Jacob, and John and climbed a high mountain to pray.

29 As He prayed, His Face began to glow until a blinding glory streamed from Him. A radiant glory illuminated His entire Body. His brightness became so intense that it made his clothing blinding white, as multiple flashes of lightning. 30-31 All at once, two men appeared in glorious splendor: Moses and Elijah. They spoke with Jesus about His soon departure from this world and the things the Father destined Him to accomplish in Jerusalem.

Communion is the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially when the exchange is on a mental or Spiritual level.  Isn’t that the essence of prayer?  Jesus is our Example and His Body illuminated with an anointing that has been rarely seen in others.  Why?  Is it because we never expected this reality to manifest in us?  If we are truly Sons (and Daughters) in the same likeness as Jesus, our Elder Brother, should we be able to manifest the same attributes as Him when He walked the earth?

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 19:

23  Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”

25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

And in Mark chapter 9:

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

Was Jesus a Living, acceptable sacrifice during His earthly ministry?  Absolutely!  Was His Mind renewed by The Word?  Yes, He was trained in The Word from His youth.  He was sinless in all areas.  Can we be sinless in all areas?  Do we dare to believe “all things are possible to them who believe”?

Jesus also 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.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 5:

14  Continually more and more people believed in the Lord and were added to their number—great crowds of both men and women.

15 In fact, when people knew Peter was going to walk by, they carried the sick out to the streets and laid them down on cots and mats, knowing the incredible power emanating from him would overshadow them and heal them.

16 Great numbers of people swarmed into Jerusalem from the nearby villages. They brought with them the sick and those troubled by demons—and everyone was healed!

If such power was emanating from Peter, shouldn’t we expect that same power as we mature in our souls and bodies?

Mature believers will pursue complete Holiness, ultimately resulting in Divine Power!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 6:

12  All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

We should choose never to be enslaved to anyone or anything.  Is there anything drawing you away from your stated priorities?

13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Our bodies were created to Love, serve, and worship Our Lord Jesus Christ Who can fill our bodies with Himself.

14 And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.

FATHER can and will awaken those of us who are willing to give ourselves totally over to HIM.

15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”

A harlot is anyone or anything that draws your affection away from the priority of becoming Holy: spirit, soul, and body.

17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

“Joining” means to make two into one.

18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Many believers do not focus on glorifying GOD in their souls and bodies.  They think that once they are saved, there is no need to come into the fullness of glorifying GOD in their thoughts and bodies.  Their priorities continue to be self-centered.  They are more interested in expressing their affection for possessions, food, pets, etc. while the poor continue to suffer.  They are willing to pay exorbitant prices for entertainment that lasts only a few hours.  They receive a temporary emotional high while there is suffering all around.

FATHER made provision for us to be able to glorify Our Lord Jesus Christ in spirit, soul, AND body.  HE wants to dwell in us in full unity with HIM.  As we come into the revelation that this is truly possible, we will see HIS Divine power not only operate in us, but through us as well.  We are called to be a full expression of Christ.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 1:

12  But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His Name:

13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

By HIS grace, FATHER gave us the provision to become mature Sons and Daughters.  By faith, we can achieve what was ordained by HIM.  The unlearned and immature are ignorant of this right.  You and I are responsible for what level of maturity we walk in.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

18  the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His Right Hand in the Heavenly places,

21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

22  And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,

23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Let us be complete in all areas of our life: spirit, soul, and body.

Mature believers have the secret of Divine Power!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 2:

6  However, we speak Wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

7 But we speak the Wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden Wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,

8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

FATHER’S Divine plan was and is to expand HIS Kingdom on earth by imparting the hidden Wisdom that Jesus brought forth from the Throne Room to the earth.  Through His death, resurrection, and ascension, He sent forth The Holy Spirit to dwell IN men and women.

9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who Love Him.“

What is the deciding factor of walking in the fullness of The Holy Spirit?  It is given to those who Love HIM!

10 But God has revealed them (the deepest mysteries) to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the Deep Things of God.

11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

Only the deep mysteries of GOD will be known by the mature believer who demonstrates his Love for GOD.  We will be known by our fruits and our fruits are being recorded in the Book of Life.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit Who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

FATHER desires to impart HIS Wisdom to those who earnestly seek HIM in all areas.  A mature person is one who is fully developed and is in a spiritually balanced state.  There are stages of maturity beyond the immature person who can only handle the milk of The Word.

13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing Spiritual things with Spiritual.

The Holy Spirit is the perfect Teacher, Comforter, and Counselor Who provides us with Wisdom from Above, straight from The Throne Room.

14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

The blindness of men is evident by their priorities.  As I have said in the past, look at what men do with their time and money, and you will see their true priorities.  The world is accommodating their blindness by increasing the facets of entertainment to be appealing to the soul and/or body.

15 But he who is Spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

16 For “who has known the Mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the Mind of Christ.

We have been given the Mind of Christ which is triumphant is all areas of life.  It is vital that we embrace the Mind of Christ in these last days.  The perversion of mankind appears to be reaching a crescendo which is to be expected prior to the harpazo.  It is critical that you and I are led by The Holy Spirit and walk in the consciousness of the Mind of Christ in these tumultuous times!

Don’t be scared, be prepared!

Now that you have been blessed by studying the Book of Revelation and understanding the harpazo, it is time to prepare yourself for whatever comes next. Rick Renner provides a detailed look at the End of Days:

The Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End is fulfilled!

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 22:

1  And he showed me a pure river of water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the Throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of Life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse, but the Throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

4 They shall see His Face, and His Name shall be on their foreheads.

5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

6  Then he said to me, “These Words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the Holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this book.”

The word “quickly” means: in rapid succession, not shortly, immediately, or soon.

8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the Words of this Book. Worship God.”

10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this Book, for the time is at hand.

This command differs from the Book of Daniel where the prophecy was to be sealed up for a period of time.  The events prophesied in the Book of Daniel can now clearly be seen playing out in history.  We are definitely in the last days of the last days.

11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is Holy, let him be Holy still.”

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

Jesus describes Himself:

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of Life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

There are seven aspect of glory of the redeemed:

1 There is no curse

2 Throne of GOD and The Lamb

3 His servants shall serve Him

4 Eternal Vision: His Face

5 His Name in their foreheads

6 Eternal day (no night)

7 Eternal reign

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

17 And the Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of Life freely.

Where is The Bride?  With Him!

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the Words of the prophecy of this Book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this Book;

19 and if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the Holy city, and from the things which are written in this Book.

This Book is precise and needs no additions or deletions!  My goal is to provide understanding and applicable references elsewhere in Scripture.  Let nothing be added or subtracted from this Sacred Text! 

It says what It means, and means what it says!!!

20 He Who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Peter chapter 3:

14  Therefore, Beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;

15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation-as also our Beloved brother Paul, according to the Wisdom given to him, has written to you,

16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

Be careful that you are not led away by untaught and unstable people!  They will use their intellectual prowess to convince you of their soulish opinion.  The Truth of Scripture is the only Truth we can rely on.

Treat GOD’S Word with respect and reverence!

17 You therefore, Beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;

18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
