Holiness Adorns His HOUSE

Voice of Prayer

His Spirit is Called the Spirit of holiness….Romans 1:3-6  Amp. Bible 3 [ The Gospels] regarding His Son, Who as to the flesh (His human nature) was descended from David, 4 And so [as to His divine nature] according to the Spirit of holiness was openly designated the Son of God in power [in a striking, triumphant and miraculous manner] by His resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 5 It is through Him that we have received grace (God’s unmerited favor) and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name’s sake among all the nations. 6 And this includes you, called of Jesus Christ and invited [as you are] to belong to Him.

Holiness becomes His house  … Psalm 93:5  Amp. Bible   5 Your testimonies are very sure; holiness [apparent in separation from sin, with simple trust and hearty obedience] is becoming to Your house, O Lord, forever.

Holiness associated with His power as producing obedience Psalm 110:3-6 Amp. Bible 3 Your people will offer themselves willingly in the day of Your power, in the beauty of holiness and in holy array out of the womb of the morning; to You [will spring forth] Your young men, who are as the dew. The Lord has sworn and will not revoke or change it; You are a priest forever, after the manner and order of Melchizedek. 5 The Lord at Your right hand will shatter kings in the day of His indignation.  6 He will execute judgment [in overwhelming punishment] upon the nations; He will fill the valleys with the dead bodies, He will crush the [chief] heads over lands many and far extended.

In the reading from the above scriptures of Romans 1:3-6, we see God's Son, Jesus who descended from the lineage of King David, having divine nature of God according to the Spirit of holiness come to earth. In seeing His was triumphant over death, we too, should look on the salvation of our souls a triumph over death, hell and the grave. 

As Jesus was always about His Father's business, we were made aware through the reading of the Gospels that the "kingdom of Heaven had come.' Living life by faith as Jesus did, we are to walk with that trust in our hearts!

In that operation of trust in HIM and not by our trust in ourselves, we find a new focus for life. AS written in Psalm 93:5, that in God's HOUSE and in relationship with Him, we are to be separated by sin. It is always seen in a simple trust and a hearty obedience to God and His word. For Jesus certainly held the character of the ONE sent from heaven, and He was obedient even to the death on the Cross.

What is the threshold of our obedience to Him? Is there a threshold that exists within our lives to keep us from walking totally and fully with Him?

Jesus taught the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 and the one He began with was this: Matthew 5 and verse 3, Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. The Amplified Bible reads this way: 3 Blessed ( happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous----with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit ( the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!

Within God and His holiness there exists that place where if "we really submit to Him and His word", have received His Son in our hearts, we know without doubt that it is He Who is God. He is Alpha and Omega, He is Creator of all things. Within that place of obedience we lack nothing. But this is gained through the spirit and is discerned spiritually! It is by speaking faith-filled words that Jesus gave us in the Gospels.

So back to Matthew 5:3, the poor means by the being spiritually poor. It does not mean the impoverished to lack of things, but the lack of God in our lives. Within God's HOUSE of salvation through His Son Jesus, we lack no good thing. But we discern it spiritually. 

When knowing God Who is spirit then we maintain that walk, that is of faith, and consequently by speaking faith filled words, we receive by faith that which is not seen today what we are believing for us as the individual, or maybe as a couple or family. But living by the spirit man is by continuing speaking of faith in what one believes in their heart, they receive their spoken words in the promises of God, manifested say for the unmarried woman the new husband, maybe for the young couple, seeing their first new house and for someone without a job, a new job with greater benefits and pay. But it comes by the spirit and by faith that is trusting God at His word and not just about us going out to get the thing we want "now"! ( and then say God did it! ) 

In God's HOUSE, it is His holiness we see and that very character is one of Whom holds all the wisdom, power and intelligence to create a world full of the most unusual and different creatures and land formations possible. In looking toward the sky, viewing the moon at night or the sun setting at dusk, one is aware of such beauty, as bright stars take over the blackened sky. For all that God has produced in His holiness, He expects and receives those who are obedient to His ways and thoughts for they certainly are higher than ours. 

Isaiah 55 7-9 Amplified Bible  7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have love, pity and mercy for him, and to our God for He will multiply to Him His abundant pardon. 8 For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, says the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways and MY thoughts than your thoughts.

As we have seen from the devil and his works, he tried to seduce Jesus in Luke 4 with all the worldly things, position and the such. And we know that this is a pride issue with the human being!

 That is why Jesus came in with the human nature, that we do not have to, nor to be ruled by the human nature with its pride for its appearance is one of always on guard to protect its territory and comes in the form of me, myself and I.

God truly knows best! He sent His best to show us the best way in which to walk. And it is in the HOLY Way we find the goodness of God, but it is a commitment daily to be committed to knowing and understanding God is always right and we must submit our thoughts and our decision making to HIM.  For in HIM we truly live, move through this life and have our very being that is a worshiper of God and His truths!

That is why God will not ever look at our outward appearance, but will certainly look on our hearts. And in that will we be in His kingdom forever and found with the believer's in Revelation 5 or will we be found with the lost in the other place? Yes, a lot to think on, but truly God is for us and desires us to be with Him with a simple trust and a hearty obedience. (Psalm 93:5)

For me, I would rather make the change today rather than to wait for that day when He speaks directly with me face to face, wouldn't you?
