You must be holy because I am holy.

I Peter 1:14-16 As obedient children, do not be shaped by the desires that used to influence you when you were ignorant. Instead, be holy in every aspect of your life, just as the one who called you is holy. For it is written, "You must be holy, because I am holy."

Lord God, I have heard little from the "pulpit" about being holy. What should we know about being holy?

Ben, without holiness, no one can come into My presence. My Son Jesus made it possible for all to receive holiness. However, to be effective in their walk with Me, My people have to learn to walk in holiness. When they spend time with Me, I enable them to live in holiness. It is an ongoing process.  Whenever we (the people) fall short of the glory of God, we are to seek forgiveness and go forward.

Lord, to fall short of the glory of God; what does this mean?

Ben, walking in holiness is walking in the glory of God. It is being in My presence. It is in the glory realm that miracles and signs and wonders occur.  Lord, I do not see how your response fits "to fall short of..."

Ben, it is there. It is in the answer I have given.Lord, I now see it. If we are not walking in holiness we are not in the glory of God. We have fallen short. Lord, this suggests we see little of the supernatural in our churches because holiness is lacking.

Ben, it not only suggests it, it means it! There is too much of the world in My people and sadly, they do not want to let go of it. Seek holiness in the proper sense and experience the miraculous in your life!

Another question, Lord. What is the proper sense?

The proper sense is developed through spending time in My presence, in being intimate with Me.

Through the Bible 7: Acts and Epistles Audio CDs

by Dr. Andrew Hardy | 4 Discs

Dr. Andrew Hardy takes you through Acts and the General Epistles in 10 sessions. This is part seven of our Through the Bible series, which provides you an in-depth overview of the entire Bible. You may choose to begin with the Life of Christ, and work your way through the entire New Testament, and then follow this up by going through the Old Testament.

In the book of Acts you discover the vibrancy of the early Church. The Holy Spirit descended upon them in Pentecost and filled them and the room in which they were seated. Empowered by the Holy Ghost, they immediatey won 3000 to the Lord. Miracles followed, many were healed, and the world was transformed by these anointed disciples. 

In the General Epistles we learn of the struggles the early Church faced, and the amazing teaching the Apostle Paul provided to keep them on track. You receive a glimpse into the heart of Paul as he passionately encourages his readers to know who they are in Christ and ascend into the heavenlies, where they are seated with Him in heavenly places, ruling and reigning. These books take you into the depths of Scriptural truth as revealed by the Holy Spirit. Pray for God to give you revelation knowledge in your heart and mind as you meditate on His Word (Eph. 1:17,18).
