Being\nset apart means: to be distinct, marked out, be separated, be distinguished, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
to\nbe wonderful. When we are set apart for\nFATHER\u2019S use, we are given to HIS ownership and holiness is a result of being\nset apart for HIS use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\nmature Sons and Daughters of GOD, make a decision to fully submit to being led\nby THE SPIRIT thus we transfer \u201cownership\u201d of our lives to HIM for HIS\nexclusive use. How can we be fully led\nby THE SPIRIT unless we agree to this transfer of ownership and give up our\nindependence which has at its core, self interest?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many\nwho are unwilling to transfer this ownership are afraid of FATHER and do not\nhave a revelation of Agape Love. They\ndon\u2019t realize that FATHER will bless them beyond their greatest expectation and\nwill give them the desires of a pure heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In\nExodus chapter 33, FATHER spoke:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12\nThen Moses said to the LORD, \u201cSee, You say to me, \u2018Bring up this people.\u2019 But\nYou have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, \u2018I know\nyou by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
13\nNow therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your\nway, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider\nthat this nation is Your people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
14\nAnd He said, \u201cMy Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
15\nThen he said to Him, \u201cIf Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up\nfrom here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
16\nFor how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your\nsight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I,\nfrom all the people who are upon the face of the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
17\nSo the LORD said to Moses, \u201cI will also do this thing that you have spoken; for\nyou have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FATHER\nseparated the children of Israel for HIS use and as they walked accordingly, HE\nblessed them. They were given the\ncommand to tithe of their increase and possessions. Why? \nTo acknowledge they were exclusively HIS and to acknowledge HIS\nownership. When you are owned by FATHER, you take on HIS Holiness and receive HIS\nrevelation in a greater manner and frequency<\/strong>. Your soul becomes a servant to your spirit as\nyou become a cheerful giver. If you are\nfearful about the giving of your firstfruits, then you have not given yourself\nfully to FATHER\u2019S ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This\nwill be a tough word for some who are dealing with scarcity which evokes fear\nin the hearts. Wisdom speaks in Proverbs\nchapter 3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9\n\u200b\u200bHonor the LORD with your possessions,<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200b\u200bAnd\nwith the firstfruits of all your increase;<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10\n\u200b\u200bSo your barns will be filled with plenty,<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200b\u200bAnd\nyour vats will overflow with new wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\nare given the revelation of \u201cplenty\u201d when we receive wisdom from Above. Let\u2019s face it, we live in a financial world\nand there are many in need. There are\ngivers and takers in this world and those who give the firstfruits of their\nincrease walk in a greater abundance than those who \u201choard\u201d what they have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FATHER\nhas given us a Truth and Paul wrote about this Truth by THE SPIRIT in Romans\nchapter 11:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is\nalso holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When\nwe give a tithe, or give our firstfruit as FATHER instructs, HE makes all of\nour finances Holy and provides an increase where we will walk in \u201cplenty\u201d. This is not meant to be a formula to satisfy a\nself-interested soul but is meant to reveal what it means to be set apart for\nFATHER\u2019S use. Paul further wrote by THE\nSPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 4:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 22\nthat you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows\ncorrupt according to the deceitful lusts, <\/p>\n\n\n\n 23\nand be renewed in the spirit of your mind, <\/p>\n\n\n\n 24\nand that you put on the new man<\/strong>\nwhich was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because\nof HIS Agape Love, FATHER has given us the choice to submit to HIS ownership of\nHoliness with all its benefits. Yes, we\ncan decide to do our own thing but I assure you, being set apart for HIS use is\nfar superior to anything we can imagine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Being set apart means: to be distinct, marked out, be separated, be distinguished, to be wonderful.
