When we walk in Holiness, we will not fear what man can do to us! It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 56: 1  Lord, show me Your kindness and mercy, for these men oppose and oppress me all day long. 2 Not a day goes by without somebody harassing me. So many in their pride trample me under their feet. 3 But in the day that I’m afraid, I lay all my fears before You and trust in You with all my heart. 4 What harm could a man bring to me? With God on my side, I will not be afraid of what comes. The roaring praises of God fill my heart as I trust His promises. 5 Day after day cruel critics distort my words; constantly they plot my collapse. 6 They lurk in the dark, waiting, spying on my movements in secret to take me by surprise, ready to take my ...

Walking in Holiness, being led by The Holy Spirit, is the solution? Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 4: 13 Now when they (the Sanhedrin) saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 saying, "What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this Name." 18 So they called them ...

Do we need to be well educated to walk in Holiness and serve mankind? The Sanhedrin was a Jewish judicial and administrative body made up of local elites, including scribes, members of the high-priestly family, and lay elders. The term "Sanhedrin" comes from the Greek word sunedrion, which means "sitting together". The Sanhedrin had two types of courts: the Great Sanhedrin, which had 71 elders and acted as the Supreme Court, and the Lesser Sanhedrin, which had 23 elders and could be found in each city. There were two different groups in authority, that is to say, “the elite”.  Pharisees claimed Mosaic authority for their interpretation of Jewish religious law, while Sadducees represented the authority of the priestly privileges and prerogatives established since the days of Solomon, when Zadok, their ancestor, officiated as high priest. Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 4: 5  And it came to pass, on the next ...

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 ...

What should we expect if we are walking in Holiness? On the Day of Pentecost, Peter experienced a transformation resulting in him walking in Holiness and one example is given immediately after his transformation. Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3: 6 Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them-walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened ...

If we are led by The Holy Spirit, we take on the attributes of Holiness! On the Day of Pentecost, Peter experienced a transformation resulting in him walking in Holiness. He recorded this Truth as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in his Epistle, chapter 1: 13  Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15  but as He who called you is Holy, you also be Holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, "Be Holy, for I am Holy." 17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible ...

The Holy Spirit is the manifested Essence of Our Holiness here on earth! Today is that Great Day of Pentecost that first occurred in 33 A.D.  This marks the day that the Ekklesia came into full manifestation with the arrival of The Holy Spirit. Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2: 1  When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided Tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other Tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in Tongues—empowered by the ...

Our Holiness is only obtained when the Cosmic Ruler of the universe grants us His Holiness! Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 1: 1  The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. After His resurrection, Jesus was seen by over 500 witnesses.  Paul attests to this Truth as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 15: 3  For I have shared with you what I have received and what is of utmost importance: The Messiah died for our sins, fulfilling the prophecies ...

Father’s Holiness was imparted not only to The Disciples at Pentecost, but HIS Holiness has been imparted to us as well when we receive the Baptism of The Holy Spirit! Peter attested to this Truth when he recorded by The Holy Spirit in his 1st Epistle chapter 1: 13  So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be released to you. 14 As God’s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better. 15 Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One Who called you. 16 For Scripture says: “You are to be Holy, because I am Holy.” 17 Since you call on HIM as Your Heavenly Father, the impartial Judge Who judges according to each ...

Father’s Holiness was imparted to The Disciples at Pentecost! This year, the day of Pentecost falls on Sunday, May 19th.  It takes place 50 days after the day of Ascension. When you and I have received the Baptism of The Holy Spirit, our spirit has Holiness inside of us at our core.  This is how The Holy Spirit is able to indwell in us without us physically perishing… thankfully! When we are fully led by The Holy Spirit, we will walk in Supernatural boldness.  Our beloved Peter is an excellent example of this phenomenon.  He denied Christ three times before the Cross.  Only John attended the crucifixion.  Where were the other disciples?  They were in hiding because of fear and unbelief. Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 24: 1  Very early that Sunday morning, the women made their way to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. Among them were Mary ...
