The Beauty Of Holiness

Give to the Lord the Glory due His Name

Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness. (Psalm 29:2 NKJV)

Worship the Lord in the Splendor of His Holiness;

Tremble before Him, all the earth. (Psalm 96:9 NIV)

Join me in SUFFERING for the Gospel, by the Power of God,

Who has Saved us and Called us to a Holy LIFE--

Not because of anything we have done

But because of His Own PURPOSE and Grace.

This Grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the BEGINNING of Time,

But has now been REVEALED

Through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus,

Who has DESTROYED DEATH and has brought LIFE and IMMORTALITY

To light through the Gospel.

I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher.

That is why I am SUFFERING as I am.

Yet I am not ashamed, because I know Whom I have believed,

And am CONVINCED that he is able to guard

What I have entrusted to Him for THAT DAY.

What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching,

With Faith and Love in Christ Jesus.

GUARD the Good Deposit that was entrusted to you--

GUARD it with the help of the Holy Spirit Who lives in you. (2 Timothy 1:8-14)

What is the most beautiful thing in existence?

God in the Beauty of His Holiness.

What has He called us to? The Beauty of His Holiness.

What does this Holiness lead to? LIFE and IMMORTALITY.

God's Holiness DESTROYS DEATH through the Good News of Christ Jesus.

Will you have to SUFFER for it? Yes you will.

Is it worth suffering for? Yes it is.

You will have to GUARD this Faith—this Holiness—this Eternal LIFE,

Because EVERYTHING in the world will try to take it from you.

Before the BEGINNING of Time it was God's PURPOSE

To give us His LIFE--His Holiness—His IMMORTALITY.

No one and NOTHING can take this from us except UNBELIEF.

We must remain CONVINCED of what God has given us

And GUARD it with the help of the Holy Spirit--

The Holy Spirit Who is the most Powerful Person in existence.

Be Holy as I AM Holy. (1 Peter 1:6)

Be Perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is Perfect. (Matthew 5:48)

'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My Ways.'

Declares the Lord.

As the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My Ways higher than your ways

And My thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9)

Yet by the power of the Holy Spirit living in and through us,

We can make our thoughts God's thoughts and His Ways our ways.

That is exactly what Christ Jesus came to accomplish in us.

What is the ultimate OBJECTIVE of Christ Jesus for each of us? Listen:

Father, protect them by the Power of your Name--

The Name You have given Me--

So that they [you and I] may be ONE as We are ONE. (John 17:11)

The OBJECTIVE of Christ Jesus for each of us

Is that we become ONE with Him and the Father

In the Beauty of His Holiness. Listen to Christ Jesus again:

I have given them Your Word and the world has HATED them,

For they are not of the world any more than I AM of the world.

My prayer is not that You take them out of the world

But that You PROTECT them from the Evil One.

They are not of the world, even as I AM not of it.

SANCTIFY them [make them Holy] by the TRUTH; Your Word is TRUTH.

As you sent Me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

For them I SANCTIFY Myself,

That they TOO may be truly SANCTIFIED. (John 17:14-19)

If you RECEIVE God's Holiness you will be HATED by the world.

The world that is ruled by Satan. (1 John 5:19)

The world HATES Christ Jesus

Because He tells them that what the do is EVIL. (John 7:7)

The world does not understand that the Spirit of God alone gives LIFE;

The FLESH, that the world revels in, counts for NOTHING! (John 6:63)

I pray that hose who read this message are living

In the Beauty of God's Holiness;

That they are GUARDING the Faith given them through the Holy Spirit;

That they are wiling to SUFFER to maintain this, the Greatest of ALL GIFTS.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
