Holy, Holy, Holy!

          Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, Almighty!  He is holy, pure, righteous, light, clean, and wonderful beyond the puny imagination of human thought.

          We live in a sin cursed world where everything is tainted with evil wrought by the devil. He has, in times past, insidiously crept into our culture---but now in this present time, he is open and in-your-face slinging the mud of filth in every direction.  He is rubbing it in!  He has allowed it to be seen as it really is---rot and decay lightly coated with sugar to tempt the unwary and uncaring.  He says, “Smell it, have you ever in your life smelled anything so awful?”  All the while, he is laughing because the world is reeking with evil that has become the new norm.  Instead of turning away in disgust, its considered good to be as bad as you can be.  Our awareness of sin has become either denial or celebration.  There are many who love the evil who are in chains and know it not.  They think they are fine and having fun, but underneath in their deepest heart, they are full of pain and misery!  Misery is the end result of denying God.  Every wicked and vile thing is born out of the womb of the Babylon world system.  It is everywhere!  We are awash in gross darkness.

          Our Father God said, “Come ye out from among them, my people.  Be ye holy as I am holy—put on the robes of righteousness—be cleansed by the blood of the lamb.  Deny yourself and follow me.”

          How can there be a discussion about whether a Christian can be gay?  Or living in adultery?  Any and all sin?  No!!!!! God is holy!  That means no entertaining evil or wallowing in the filth.  Why do we want to justify that which is disgusting to Father God?  Wake up, people!  God requires holiness and nothing else!  Because he is holy, he will have a bride without spot or wrinkle.  We must be in the world but not of it! 

          Oh, Father, wake up the people in these last days; cause us to repent with tears and cries of remorse. Let every idol be smashed and broken.  Cleanse us, father, and make us holy as you are holy.  Set the lawful captives free and loose the prey from the terrible one.  Contend with him who contends with your remnant people, break the chains that bind us, open the blind eyes of our spirits, heal the rents and tears inflicted by the enemy of our souls.   In you, lord we live and move and have our being.    Raise up workers for your harvest, lord.  Use all persecution and terror to purify your church.  Let not your people despair but put your mighty anointing upon them, equip them with your armor, and give them your peace that passeth understanding even in the midst of the terrible battles.     amen
