Title: To experience God of Jesus Christ in your life, 

it is critical that you be holy as He is holy.



“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:”‭‭ Hebrews‬ ‭12:14‬ ‭NKJV

‬‬“For I am the LORD your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy.

 Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 

For I am the LORD who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God.

 You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.”‭‭ Leviticus‬ ‭11:44-45‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.



Holiness is co-operating with the Holy Spirit in the way you think, the way you talk and the things you do.

 Holiness is refusing to co-operate with the enemy of God and mankind satan,

 in the way you think, the way you talk and the things you do. 

The Holy Spirit is the standard for Holiness. Jesus Christ was hundred percent human

 and also one hundred percent God. He lived a holy life.

 In every situation you could ask yourself: "In this situation how would Jesus Christ have thought,spoken and acted?" 

To answer that question you need to know the word of God, the scriptures.

 Knowing the word of God is therefore critical for holiness.

Point of reflection: 

His word says in Hebrews 12 as above "Pursue peace with all men and holiness, without which no-one shall see the Lord." 

Seeing the Lord referred to here is not just talking about heaven, 

it is referring to seeing and experiencing the working of God in this life right here on earth.

 Living a holy life is therefore a pre-requisite to experiencing the life of God in your life.

 His word goes further to say in Leviticus as above: I am the Lord your God,

 consecrate or set yourself apart to serve and worship me alone and be holy, for I am holy.

 His word goes further to say: I brought you out of Egypt to be your God, 

you shall therefore be holy because I am holy. 

Egypt is an image of the life we lived before knowing Jesus Christ and His salvation, the life of bondage to the enemy satan..

 Critical point here is that God says He wants "to be your God" 

this refers to being your all in all, your everything, your defining attribute in every situation you face and experience, 

 as the one who puts you in right standing with Him through Jesus Christ, your righteousness first and foremost 

and then experiencing Him as our provider and source of all provision,

 your guide and shepherd, your giver of peace, joy, well-being and emotional satisfaction,

 your healer and giver of health, your victory banner, the One who defends and protects you, 

the One who is present with you all the time. 

For God to be your God (or reveal Himself to you, to be your all), you need to be holy 

(see planetministries.org.uk/message/promises/IwillbeGodtoyou).

Putting it differently holiness is a necessary pre-requisite to experience God- because that is His nature.

Its like getting wet- you need to jump into the pool- you could scream and shout all you want outside the pool-

to get wet you need to jump in. To keep wet you need to remain in.

Receiving Jesus Christ gives you access to the pool, holiness keeps you in the water.

 To live a holy life you need to know God and to overcome the wicked one through a strong conviction of His word. (1John 2:12-14). 

His word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalms 119:105).

 The psalmist says in Psalm 119:11(NKJV): 

Your word have I hidden in my heart that I may not sin against you. 

To live a holy life you also need to be filled with the Holy Spirit who will be your inner compass. 

By the Holy Spirit God will put His laws in your mind and write them in your heart ( Hebrews 8:10). 

Steps to holiness:

a) Acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord- you become born again

b) Set yourself apart and consecrate yourself for Almighty God- this is a decision followed by a declaration you make-

 I am yours Lord with all that I am and with all that I am not I give myself to you.

(adjust your lifestyle, embrace the word of God and a life of prayer)

c) Reject the enemy satan and his demons- this is a decision followed by a declaration followed by action-

 satan and demons I reject you, you have nothing in me and I have nothing in you, 

you were defeated publicly by Jesus Christ on the cross- I command you to let me go and serve my God.

(If you have any charms, or items of demonic, satanic worship get rid of them,

 adjust your lifestyle to rid of activities associated with satanic activity).

d) Be filled with the Holy Spirit- He will empower you, lead you and guide you- He is the game-changer.

e) Continue in the word and in prayer and let your mind be renewed daily- 

and as this happens you begin to grow in the knowledge of Almighty God.

Do you desire this? 

When you are ready-

Prayer of consecration:

 Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for sending your Son to suffer and die for my sin.

 I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.

 I set myself apart and consecrate myself to live for you and to serve you Lord. 

 I reject every working, every deception and every influence of the enemy satan and his demons in my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill and empower me with your Holy Spirit, right now.

I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life right now in the name of Jesus Christ

I present my life, my family  to you...................

I present this Ministry to you.............................. lead, guide and direct.....

Today Father we remember Ukraine, Syria, DRC Congo, South Sudan, Middle East,Venezuela, Mozambique, Yemen

and every other part of the world where there is war, unrest and strife and bring them before you. 

We bring before you the defenceless victims of war.................

You Lord who makes wars to cease from the ends of the earth-

 we ask you right now Father to intervene in the name of Jesus Christ. Do Father that which only God can do.

 We bring the world leaders before you and ask you by your Spirit to direct them in the way of righteousness.

We come against the principalities of war and bloodshed and in the name of Jesus Christ 

command you to cease your operations right now.

 You were defeated, disarmed, stripped naked and humiliated publicly by Jesus Christ on the cross.

 We take authority over you, right now in the name of Jesus Christ. 

In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

With best wishes for the New Year 2023, the year in which the Lord God is visiting His restless ones with an anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage of the enemy. 

There is a big financial dimension to the victory for the restless ones in 2023. The yoke of poverty and financial struggles is being broken. 

a) Things you need to know: 

The year in which the restless ones rise up with the zeal of Almighty God to cause the spreading of the cities of Almighty God through prosperity. 

Almighty God says: proclaim saying 'Thus saith the Lord of Hosts: "Iam zealous for Jerusalem with great zeal."' Zechariah 1:14

He also says: 'Thus says the Lord, "I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it," says the Lord of Hosts, 

"And a surveyor's line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem."' Zechariah 1:16. See also Zechariah 8:1-5, 12-13, 15, 21 and 23.

He goes further to say: "Again proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts: "My cities shall again spread out through prosperity;

The Lord will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem."' Zechariah 1:17.

He says: "Take the silver and gold, make an elaborate crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest." Zechariah 6:11. 

Almighty God wants to put a crown of gold upon your head.

 

b) What you need to do:

1. In 2023, take away your measuring line. Do not limit what God can do for you and through you in the way you think, the way you speak and the way you act.

Do not limit the Holy One of Israel. ( Zechariah 1:1-5 )

In Psalms 78:41: His word says:Yes, again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.

Remember also Ephesians 3:20 says: He is able to do exceedingly abundantly, above all we think and ask, by the power at work within us.

2. Call with a strong conviction on the Almighty God for whom all things are possible, for whom nothing shall be impossible.

Remember His waord says in Genesis 18:10-14:

10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.)

11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.

12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
13 And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’

14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

See also Jeremiah 32:17-22, Jeremiah 32:26-27.

In Luke 1:34-38 we read:

34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you;

therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.

37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

See also Mark 10;27 and Matthew 19:26.

Remember the Holy Spirit come upon you and the power of the Most High overshadow you- to make the will of Almighty God happen in your life and in the work of the Ministry.

In Jeremiah 32:19 -21 we read that our Almighty God is great in counsel and mighty in deeds and that He brought out His people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, 

with a strong hand, and an outstretched arm and with great terror and He gave them the land that flows with milk and honey- they came in and took possession of it.

Let Him give you His counsel, let Him show you His signs and wonders, go in and take possession.

c) What you need to understand (have a revelation of): 

You need to understand the following things:

1. There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.

In Genesis 21:1-2 we read: 1 And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken.

2 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

2. Almighty God fulfils His promises.

In Numbers 23:19-20 we read: 

19 God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless;
He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

In  Isaiah 46:9-11 we read: 

9 Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east,
The man who executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.

3. It has been done before- 

Remember in her restlessness Rachael cried: Give me children or else I die (Genesis 30:1). God answered her prayer and she bore Joseph, who subsequently received

the portion of the first born of Israel.

In her restlessness, Hannah prayed for a male child and pledged to give him to the Lord all the days of her life. God answered her prayer and she bore Samuel,

a mighty prophet of God who was also a judge of Israel. (1 Samuel 1:11).

In her restlessness Mary Magdalene sought to find where they had laid the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and she refused to be comforted.

The Lord Jesus had to make an unscheduled visit to the tomb while on His way to the Father. The Lord Jesus Christ had to appear to Mary. (John 20:11-18).

We love you and continue to pray for you as you set yourself apart and consecrate yourself for the purposes of Almighty God on the Earth in our day.
