For the TRUE Followers of Christ Our Messiah (Holiness)

Got about 5 minutes into it and turned it off. Though the beginning message started out good - what have you given up? - the rest did not have the feel of the Spirit at all - a lot of anger and bitterness - he was not exhibiting the very Holiness he was preaching about.

Yes...I agree it is harsh. And I don't agree with him 100%. But I still thought it was an important message. I took it as frustration and directness rather than anger and bitterness. It effected me very much in a positive way somehow.


But I can see where you are coming from. I still think some need to hear this.

Oh well, I've been known to go off on a rant or two myself. ;)

Freedom from the evil world system is a simple matter.

I have listened to it a few times now...and it shakes me to the core every time...very powerful.

Let The True Believers, make this thread a light unto GLP.

Alright, I must now, unfortunately, make this stance. If you are here to troll, cause dissension, or make a disgusting mockery of my Father in Heaven, I will delete the post. If you continue, I will ban you from posting here. Sorry to be this way. I am trying to maintain a thread where anyone can come and praise, learn, and have productive discourse. There is a difference between questioning/disagreeing, and filthy ridiculous and blatant sabotage. So if your intentions are rotten, please don't waste your time.






HOLINESS!


Set yourself apart from the world...why?


Because your Father asked you to.



Leviticus 11:44



44For 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.



Leviticus 11:45


45For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.


Leviticus 19:2



2Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.


Leviticus 20:7


7Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.


1 Peter 1:16

16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

We say we know and believe that Jesus Christ, our one and only Lord and Savior, was wholly human during His earthly mission. We say we know and believe He was scourged to a bloody pulp - - - for us. We say we know and believe He took every single sin we would ever commit to the cross with Him. We say we know and believe He died - - - for us. So, why do we keep living the lives we do?!?!?

Because believing is not knowing.



To believe, one must know.

Belief is what you think to be true, faith is what you know to be true and in faith, belief is lost, but this is not the end. Because knowing is not Being, and so the third step, fruition, eclipses even faith for you no longer know the truth as something else, you are It.


This is the functional difference between belief and faith. Faith is unshakable by the nature of experience.

Most of what is written about faith in religious books miss the mark because the word itself is not understood. In modern English “faith” means believing in something for which there is no substantial proof. But the Greek word pistis, used in the New Testament, means stability in personal knowledge drawn from one’s own experience. It also means to be loyal to that knowledge by living in accordance with it. Pistis also means to be confident in our experiential knowledge. Faith cannot be “awakened” in a person by reading books, listening to discourses, or engaging in discussions. It comes only from within, from his own self. Saint Paul underlined this when he wrote that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”2 Note that he says substance and evidence. Faith is not an insubstantial idea. This is no matter of mere intellectual acceptance or emotional hope. Faith is proof that a person has experienced the reality of something; it is not a mere conviction based on reason or feeling.

I also pray that all find it. I pity those who don't. Little do they realize who's influence they're under.

"To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen." Jude 25

There is non other than God, the satans (adversaries) do His bidding. They are reflections of our own potential manifested so that we may choose them not.


1 Cor3:13-15

But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person's work has any value.

Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—


But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The builder will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.
