Holiness is a requirement to see the LORD. But most Christians hear from their churches that holiness is impossible for the average guy….but that’s because the lukewarm church doesn’t teach it right–and why should they–satan is running the show….HOLINESS IS ABOUT THE HEART–when you surrender your ALL TO THE LORD–FULL SUBMISSION because YOU REALLY WANT TO BE IN GOD’S CAMP and not the enemy’s (you know the one who’s in charge of shootings)–REPENT AND ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT JESUS DID ON THE CROSS TO USHER YOU INTO HIS IMAGE (WHO IS FULLY HOLY), then HE takes over–but you have to really pursue HIM–WITH ALL YOUR HEART–reading your Bible daily–disciple/disciplined–TALKING TO GOD ALL THROUGH THE DAY–also known as prayer–AND REPENTING (because you are washed by the water of the Word of GOD–so you don’t even know how you are sinning against a HOLY GOD because we are learning through reading the Word of GOD) and asking to be FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (because WE CAN’T DO THIS WITHOUT THE GUIDANCE AND LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT) –EXCHANGING OUR WILL FOR THE WILL OF THE FATHER (the same will JESUS declared HE came in when HE was in the earth)–without being in the Will of the FATHER we are lost–so then moving toward the LORD everyday (being sanctified–a fancy word for being made in the LORD’s image)–and so as you move toward the LORD every day (baby steps)–then you are HOLY (by YOUR HEART CHOICE)–EVEN AS YOU ARE BEING MADE HOLY….
Hebrews 12:14 (KJV): Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the LORD:
Leviticus 11:44 (KJV): For I am the LORD your GOD: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV): 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
