Your testimonies are fully confirmed; holiness befits Your house, O LORD, for endless days. Psalm 93:5.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
The beauty of holiness will make your life beautiful, the most beautiful life ever lived.
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Psalm 29:2.
I told the Israelites to be holy as I am holy. My apostle Peter wrote the same to you under the inspiration of My Spirit as all My Word comes to you. And now My Spirit dwells in all those who have spirits born again from above by My imperishable Word.
Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17.
What is holy? It is so overwhelming that in My presence that is a spontaneous cry from the angels round the throne, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts, heaven and earth are full of your glory!”
I gave Isaiah a glimpse into Heaven when I called him to preach My Word and the cry he heard? Yes, “Holy, holy, holy!” And you are in My image and according to My likeness.
In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord (Adonai – Jesus) sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called out to another and said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD (Yahavah) of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory.” Isaiah 6:1-3.
Remember what I tell you in the Gospel of John? That Isaiah saw the glory of Jesus.
These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him. John 12:41.
What is holy? I am holy. So I am telling you to be like Me. And who am I? Love. You are to imitate Me as My dear children and walk in love as Jesus did.
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. Ephesians 5:1-2.
So pure love is holiness. So knowing what love is tells you what holiness looks like. And I have already told you exactly how love is:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it does not behave unbecomingly, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.
Love does not boast about itself but about the beloved.
But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.
Love talks about the beloved and not itself. Just read Song of Songs, the bride is only talking about the delights of her beloved bridegroom, and the bridegroom is only talking about the beauty of his beloved bride. If you will note whenever I came to talk with people in the Bible, I talked about them and not about Me. Why? Because I love you and you are precious is My eyes. I talk about you. Who do you talk about? It shows where your heart is.
Love talks about what the beloved did for them not what they did for the beloved.
And I pour My love into your hearts by My gift to you of My Holy Spirit. And you call Him, the “Holy” Spirit because He is holy, He is one God with Me and My Son and we are love. Holy is walking in My kind of love. Love is holy, it is pure and there is no lie allowed in love. Love never wrongs the neighbor, and deception is not love. The devil has no love in him at all. Do not imitate him as his children.
“Love is holy” is the same as saying “God is holy” for I am love. And the holiness My Holy Spirit pours in your heart is My love.
I am My Word and My Word is holy and My Word is full of love. The Word became flesh and dwelt among you to undo the works of the devil to turn the tide of evil with a flood of My love.
So they will fear the name of the LORD from the west and His glory from the rising of the sun, for He will come like a rushing stream which the Spirit of the LORD drives. “A Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,” declares the LORD. “As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the LORD: “My Spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says the LORD, “from now and forever.” Isaiah 59:19-21.
And the knowledge of My glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Holy in the glory. Glory and Holy go together to create hallowed places of majestic splendor where My Will is done and My Kingdom can come.
The more full you are of My Spirit the more like Me you become and that is Holy. Attach to Jesus as a branch to the vine and bear the fruit of the vine, for it is Holy for it is the fruit of the Holy Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control.
And How do I tell you to get full of the Spirit? You initiate it.
So be careful to live your life wisely, not foolishly. 16 Take advantage of every opportunity because these are evil times. Because of this, don’t be ignorant, but understand the Lord’s will. Don’t get drunk on wine, which produces depravity. Instead, be filled with the Spirit in the following ways: speak to yourself and each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; sing and make music to the Lord in your hearts; always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:15-20.
Holy, Holy, Holy—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. So how should that also describe you? Holy, Holy, Holy in your spirit, your soul and your body. “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24.
My servant Paul, by My Holy Spirit, gives you the answer of what to do with your body and soul to walk in the holiness that is now in your spirit as a new creation in Christ: “Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2.
What does it mean to offer your body as a living and HOLY sacrifice acceptable to Me? It is really simple but very profound and not at all profane. It is about exercising your dominion authority over the world according to My purposes instead of those of the devil. (Remember that I gave dominion over the earth to mankind so that you who are in the flesh have the authority to bind and loose on earth, I only can work in the world through the ones who choose to exercise their authority for My purposes). In other words, by giving Me free reign to heal, bless, forgive, teach, and witness through you. Which are all acts of love.
Give Me your hands as the Body of Christ on earth to do the works I have prepared in advance for you to do. The works Jesus did and greater, for He totally gave Me full reign to do My Works through His dominion authority so that I could be in Him reconciling the world to Myself. My servant Paul put it like this by My Spirit, “For just as you presented your body and its members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your body and its members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.” Romans 6:19.
And to do all this you must renew your mind, Because Adam no longer valued communication with Me and became what he thought to be an “independent” thinker, he no longer thought as I do. He thought like the devil, who is a deceiver and liar from the beginning. His thoughts became evil and corrupt, resulting in evil and corrupt deeds by him and his descendants who followed his ways.
My thoughts are above your thoughts and My ways above your ways, but I share My thoughts with you in the Spirit-breathed written Word of the Bible and the Words spoken in your heart by My Spirit. I send My Word down for you like seed to plant and those who receive it and grow it and return it to Me receive what is in My Word—healing, provision, power, goodness, and purity. There were people who would receive My Word and obey it and become holy by faith, such as Abraham and his descendants, whom he taught to follow and obey My Word.
In order to live holy there is only one way you will do it. And that is by meditating upon, speaking, reading, hearing, proclaiming, and sharing, My Word and listening to anointed teaching on My Word. You must gather with other believers to share My Word in prophecy and study, in praying as one in the Spirit, and encouraging one another. The more diligence you give to this and the more value and honor you give My Word in your life, the more holy you will become. And you will have joy therein. I am filled with joy and it has to do with the purity of holiness.
I want to share My Holiness and My joy with you. And I can only do it by My Word. And My Word became flesh and dwelt among you and He is your Teacher. And now, when He ascended on high, He did not leave you orphans but gave gifts to you of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the believers for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until you all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of Jesus, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13. And He is Holy. He is the mystery of godliness among you, joining your humanity to My divinity and My divinity to your humanity.
The advice I gave Joshua still is the same to you, “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:8-9. I am with you and I am holy. Wherever you walk becomes holy ground for you are a temple of the Holy Spirit within your born again spirit.
Therefore, in reference to your former manner of life, lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. Ephesians 4:22-23. Renew your mind by eating the bread of My Word every day and declaring it over all you do and are.
I love you. Holy is a fascinating place to be because it always puts you in touch with Me. Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is My will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit; do not despise prophetic utterances. But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22. And above all think in love, talk in love, and walk in love, let nothing else enter you for anything that is not pure love and goodness is not from Me.
