DEVOTIONAL INSIGHTS & REFLECTIONS

What does holiness look like? ---December 9

Be not deceived, "... for without holiness, no man shall see God." (See Hebrews 12:14.)

Unless our lives line up with His Word, we---through misrepresentation---render His Word ineffective.

When we ARE NOT living holy, wholly sanctified lives before Him, our words (though also His words) are mere words, falling on deaf ears because there is no power within us (authority) to back them. (Read about the “seven sons of Sceva,” Acts 19:11-20.) The same holds true in the prophetic realm.

His authority comes upon us---manifested through our lives---only when we walk with Him… not just on occasion and/or when we are in church and among other believers but moment-by-moment, every single day.

Fasting and prayer expedites the process..., bringing our flesh under submission to our spirit man and, hence, unto God.

To be holy, we must continuously press in, submitting ourselves to God and resisting the enemy's every affront. (See James 4:7-10.)

Be encouraged and walk humbly before Him in holiness.
