| The Beauty Of Holiness
Beloved Shoshanna Jul 23 2004 12:00AM Psalm 29:2 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. 1 Chron. 16:29 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. 2 Chron. 20:21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 110:3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. Beloved, 1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. I would have you to walk in holiness, to be holy just as I am holy. I created you to be holy. When you came forth from the womb, you came in innocence, you knew not sin. You came forth just as I had created you, in My image and likeness. So beautiful, so innocent. But as you attained the knowledge of good and evil and became acquainted with the ways of the world and self you no longer walked in the beauty of holiness. Holiness is beautiful. My bride represents the beauty of holiness, pure, clean, and white, undefiled, washed clean in the blood of Christ, without spot or wrinkle. Sparking clean, in My glory. Though I do the work of cleansing you, it must be you that desires holiness above all things. As you present yourselves to Me as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto me, which is your reasonable service, I am able to do the work of consecration. You are the habitation of God, and I will not inhabit an unclean vessel. I cannot even look upon an unclean vessel. You must make the sacrifice to live the way of holiness and leave the world and all its ways behind. Isaiah 35:8-10 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. [9] No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: [10] And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. This is My plan for my bride, My redeemed, but you must take the way of holiness I have given you pieces of armor, that you are to put on each day. It is a defense against the onslaught of the enemy, which will get stronger in the days to come, you must use your armor to stand. Do not go a day without your armor, and casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ. There are many dark days ahead, but those who learn to abide in Me, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty, without holiness you shall not see me, you cannot walk upon my highway, I require holiness. Walk in My spirit which is the Spirit of holiness and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Col. 3:5-10 This is the key to a pure and holy life. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: [6] For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: [7] In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. [8] But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. [9] Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; [10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: As you put off the things of the flesh, Put on holiness as a garment. Col. 3:12-17 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; [13] Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. [14] And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. [15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. [16] Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. [17] And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. I am returning for a bride without spot or wrinkle, this is not an impossible task, as I have begun the work of consecration, as you have shown me your desire for holiness and are submitting to My desires rather than your own. Time is short, I know My own and they will be prepared for what ever comes., do not fret or worry because I will complete the work I have begun. As you abide in Me and My Presence, I can quickly accomplish this work. You shall come out as pure gold, refined in the fire, worthy of the calling which I have called you. Put aside all things that are distractions that keep you from me, that take your focus off of me, these have been put there to do just that. Many things you think you must do have been placed in your mind to do, they are not of me. From here on, only do what I require, and that is to sit at My feet. Listen carefully for My voice, so that other voices do not confuse you and send you off on rabbit trails. You are known to do that beloved. Do not let the enemy pull you in so many directions. There is only one direction that you must take. Come sit before me, look into My eyes and worship me in the beauty of holiness. I pray Shalom Alechem Barukh Hashem Y'shua for you. (God's Peace and Blessing in Jesus Name) for you always |
