SANCTIFICATION, HEALING and DELIVERANCE


A JOURNEY TOWARDS SANCTIFICATION, DELIVERANCE and HEALING?

DO you desire HEALING and DELIVERANCE?  Then this is for you:


As my life has taken some major turns in it lately, I have found I have little desire to carry the burdens of the world around on my shoulders or WORRY about them much.The wicked are going to continue to be wicked, as the WORD says.

MY TRUE DESIRE is to GIVE  TO GOD what belongs to HIM.

My Desire has been directed by the LORD, for HIS BODY, for our deliverance and healing.

That we will be PREPARED to “COME OUT OF HER” when HE CALLS.

I am seeking to WALK in that ‘calling’ upon my life with all my heart,
through SEEKING the LORD, Drawing as near to HIM as I possibly can, SEEKING HIS “WILL” for my life.

IN so doing, I have found the HOLY SPIRIT has brought me great COMFORT, JOY, and PEACE, and I feel in more HARMONY with the HOLY SPIRIT.

_________________________________________________________


THESE  SCRIPTURES are the FOCUS of this MESSAGE THIS MORNING:

1. THOSE that LOVE HIM, will SEEK to keep HIS COMMANDMENTS.
2. THE “WORD” of GOD SANCTIFIES, purifies, and OBEDIENCE brings healing to our bones.


John 14:15 If ye LOVE me, keep my commandments.

JOHN 17: 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

ACTS 20: 24  But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

LUKE 14: 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it]? 

1 Cor 13: 11  When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

When I become a man, I put away childish things. 

SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE SANCTIFIED?

SANCTIFY:


1) to render or acknowledge, or to be venerable or hallow
2) to separate from profane things and dedicate to God
a) consecrate things to God
b) dedicate people to God

3) to purify
a) to cleanse externally
b) to purify by expiation: free from the guilt of sin
c) to purify internally by renewing of the soul



By this time, if you have been keeping up with my post, YOU know that I have shared a GREAT DEAL about the HARLOT of REVELATION, the END-TIME BEAST to COME, as a “WARNING” from the LORD.   

See “the woman of revelations 17”. 

Well we are past the WARNINGS people, you know it is coming.

NOW, It is about SANCTIFICATION, healing, deliverance and being of use to the KINGDOM!!

DON'T "QUENCH" the SPIRIT HERE, for if there were NO COMMANDS to guide and instruct our lives by, then JESUS HIMSELF would not have said these WORDS:

John 14:15 If ye LOVE me, keep my commandments.

JOHN 17: 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.  

WE ARE "SANCTIFIED/purified through the WORD of TRUTH. 

WE come into CONFORMITY to JESUS CHRIST as a KINGDOM PEOPLE, through the WORD, through repentance and resurrection in LIFESTYLE through precepts and principles.

AND WHO INSTRUCTS US?

For the FATHER, WORD, and the HOLY SPIRIT ALL AGREE, They are NOT in conflict. HE is HOLY, HE IS RIGHTEOUS HE IS JUST, MERCIFUL, full of GRACE, HE CONVICTS, HE RESTORES and HE SANCTIFY S according to HIS WORD.

We now need to begin our travels and journey, towards TRUE REPENTANCE and seek to  RETURN  to the LIFESTYLES GOD intended for us to live as a “SET APART PEOPLE in accordance with HIS WORD, precepts and principles, that we can be PREPARED as an ASSEMBLE of PEOPLE to “COME of HER” both PHYSICALLY and SPIRITUALLY.

That we may LIVE and PRAY in one accord, according to HIS PRINCIPLES and PRECEPTS.

I am going to seek to share with you THE INSPIRATION that the HOLY SPIRIT has given me:

MOVING FORWARD as a SET APART PEOPLE:


COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE!!”

Have you “REALLY” sought the LORD on how to understand what that means?

I have shared many aspects of what it means to “COME OUT OF HER” from a PHYSICAL STANDPOINT.  (see other post)

HOWEVER, as we begin to TURN from a “WICKED WORLD”, we are going to find ourselves becoming more and more SEPARATED, ISOLATED, and living very different lifestyles from the WORLD, if WE truly are going to be a “SET APART PEOPLE/KINGDOM PEOPLE.

We also going to find ourselves TURNING towards the LORD in OBEDIENCE, according to  HIS WORD, for sanctification, purification, to be a PURE BRIDE when HE RETURNS,  through ACKNOWLEDGING HIS TRUTH, precepts, principles and ordinances. Etc.

1 PETER 1: 6  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy

THE LORD is CALLING HIS PEOPLE..

TO BE YE  HOLY “SET APART”!!!

Even at the cost of your flesh!!

“HOLY” in simplest terms means “SET APART”, behaving DIFFERENTLY, in character, and in LIFESTYLE, than the WORLD around us.

We ARE of a DIFFERENT KINGDOM, being CONFORMED and TRANSFORMED DAILY INTO THE IMAGE of CHRIST.

We are to be a TESTIMONY TO CHRIST as a KINGDOM PEOPLE.


OUT OF THE AGE OF REQUIRE, AND INTO THE AGE OF DESIRE..

Salvation IS AN invitation to join in A RELATIONSHIP, and the PROMISES OF THE LORD. To BE A KINGDOM PEOPLE..

Reject the invitation and die in your sins, condemned.. 

A. John 14:15  If ye LOVE me, keep my commandments.

IF you say YOU LOVE HIM, then keep HIS COMMANDMENTS and ordainances.

IF we “LOVE” HIM, our hearts will “DESIRE” to keep HIS commandments.

IF WE LOVE HIM, we keep HIS COMMANDS, then We are SANCTIFIED/PURIFIED according to HIS WORD, and HE IS GLORIFIED and given TESTIMONY TO, because we are WALKING according to HIS PRECEPTS and PRINCIPLES.  BECOMING a "KINGDOM PEOPLE/SET APART".


Salvation is an INTIMATE journey, of “death to self at the crossand resurrection to life, unto JESUS CHRIST.

Do you desire to LIVE the RESURRECTED LIFE???

THEN YOU WILL days filled with REPENTANCE, and RENEWAL, CONFORMITY, and CALLINGS, through your INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM and according to HIS CALL etc.

We move, repent, conform, and share as HE pricks our SPIRIT, according to HIS SPIRIT, HIS WORD, and HIS CALL

As we move towards OBEDIENCE, we are EMPOWERED by the HOLY SPIRIT, TRANSFORMED into more ‘righteous living, according to HIS PRECEPTS and PRINCIPLES.


AS we draw NEARER TO HIM, we are going to stick out like as a SIGN of HIS GLORY.  And like RED on WHITE..  THERE IS NO GETTING AROUND THAT.

YOU are going to have to decide very soon.. WHO YOU SHALL SERVE?? and are you WILLING to live as a TESTIMONY to JESUS CHRIST, in life or death.


We do all of these things BASED on OUR LOVE for HIM, our reverence of HIM, because WE prosper in HIS PRESENCES and LIVE according to HIS PROMISES.

B. JOHN 17: 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.


The WORD of GOD, sanctifies, transforms, gives guidance, direction, it is a LAMP UNTO OUR FEET.. etc.

LIVING ACCORDING TO THE WORD, is what

“SETS US APART” from this KINGDOM.


PROVERBS 3: 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths

PROVERBS 3: 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil

PROVERBS 3: 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.



IN OBEYING the “WORD” of GOD, HIS precepts, HIS principles, HIS ordinances, we are “SANCTIFIED”, purified, become a pleasing VESSELS to HIM, vessels of good use.

We are also, HEALED and DELIVERED, and health is brought to our bones.

LET US LIVE, according to HIS WORD, HIS COMMANDS, HIS PRECEPTS and PRINCIPLES for they are “HIS TRUTH”.

LET us begin to move as an ASSEMBLE of PEOPLE, set apart, according to HIS commands, word, precepts, principles and ordinances.  That we can be a TESTIMMONY to HIM, be blessed as a people, that we can HEALED and DELIVERED.. AMEN.


CONCLUSION:

WE can begin this JOURNEY of SANCTIFICATION by

1.  ACKNOWLEDGING HE is HOLY/SET APART.
2. ACKNOWLEDGING HIS WORD is TRUE and HOLY.
(HIS precepts and principles, HIS ordinances)


SEEK the LORD today.

SEEK in your quite place to get into HIS HOLY PRESENCES.

LOOK upon HIS FACE, for HE IS HOLY.

USE the 10 commandments as a GUIDE/instruction towards TRUTH.

Ask the LORD to reveal to you anything in YOUR LIFE that is NOT HONORING or REVERENCING HIS “WORD, COMMANDS, precepts, principles, and ordinances according to HIS WORD.

AS HE REVEALS, CONFESS it as SIN, and TURN to “FOLLOW HIM” for HIS YOKE is EASY, if we “CONFESS our SIN, REPENT, then HE is JUST to FORGIVE US, then we are EMPOWERED by the HOLY SPIRIT TO perform and be TRANSFORMED. OUR hands and hearts will follow suit.

THEN we can begin to WALK in HIS EXCELLENT PRAISE, in sanctification and purified hearts and hands before HIM. AMEN

(remember the HOLY SPIRIT empowers what is GOD’S TRUTH.
The HOLY SPIRIT is the SPIRIT OF TRUTH)

EX 20  THE TEN COMMANDMENTS is a place to start this JOURNEY of sanctification:

BEFORE GOD and MAN:

Thou shalt have no other god before me
Thou shalt not make unto the any graven images
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain

Remember the SABBATH day, to keep it HOLY/set apart.


Honor thy Father and thy mother
Thou shalt not murder
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
Thous shalt not covet.

What do I know of HOLY

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
