Holiness in Living

If we say we desire greater glory as seen in the days of the Acts of the apostles, then we must also accept a higher standard. For when great glory was poured out, so was the fury of the Lord upon the sins of Ananias and Saphirra. It has always been this way throughout the Scriptures, where there is great glory and revelation, where there is great responsibility and authority, there is also greater expectation for holiness and intolerance of sin and rebellion on God’s part. If we desire to walk close to Him, to hear His voice more, and for signs and wonders to abound – can we handle it? Truly, I’m being serious.

He has called us to be His, a people of the LORD – a people who know Him and obey His voice. There is so much He desires to pour into His people – revelation, understanding, power, words of knowledge, healing, etc. Will you say ‘Yes LORD, I desire to be a part of what You’re doing in the earth!’? Let's not be so easily entangled by this world and it’s lusts and passions. Promotion is given to the overcomers. Let's be diligent that we may be a pleasing fragrance to the Lord.

Let’s be careful how we live, not living carelessly for we serve a holy God. His love is jealous and His glory and power terrifying. My friend, let us never forget the fear of the Lord. Seek out the Lord with fear and trembling. Is God big in our eyes or is He small in our eyes? I think many times we treat Him as though He was insignificant in our lives and not all that important. But if we really do see Him as the great God He is, then wouldn’t our focus be on loving and obeying Him be greater than the lusts of our flesh and the pride of life?

If we want more of Him, I mean truly yearn and thirst for His presence and power in our lives, how then shall we respond? With prayer? Fasting? Worship? Those things that are purposeful in the Kingdom and our walk with Him? Or by wasting our evenings and days with the meaningless things in life, those things that draw us away from Him and His calling on our lives? Every man must choose which way he will go, what will you choose?
