(TEXT : Deuteronomy 23:14)
For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
FOCUS :
While the Lord walked up and down among them at that time, the Holy Spirit now lives within the hearts and lives of Believers Col 3:16. Consequently, the same demands, as would be obvious, and even more, are upon the modern Child of God; every single thing we do, we are to keep in mind that the Holy Spirit is with us at all times. And thereby, conduct ourselves accordingly. The Holy Spirit living inside of us the Believers, is the “Holiness of God” and we must not take this for granted.
Leviticus 11:44
For 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.
Joel 3:17
So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
In addition, God is Holy and wherever the children of God are gathered, their gathering should be a gathering of “Holy People”; and not unholy gathering. God can walk through at any time and if our minds, thought, thinking, imagination, and reasoning are not PURE towards one another, then God can never dwell in such gathering or such person’s life. Whenever God is going to walk through our lives, He won’t need “public announcement”; He just did, simply because we are supposed to be “His dwelling place.”
Leviticus 10:10
And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
Leviticus 11:45
For 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.
Hebrews 9:8
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
Finally, as Believers “holiness” is not something we must joke with, instead, we must imbibe in holiness with our character, attitude, and behavior always. Our spirit must agreed with the Holy Spirit of God that is dwelling in us, to prove that not only our spit should shows pure; but also our “inner spirit” is HOLY. Our living holy has to do with the ways we are dealing with our fellow brethren in the presence of God Himself. Living holy in the way we talk, the way we addresses people, the way we dress, the way we greets, the way we welcome, the way we walk, the way we work, the way we give, the way we pray, the way we sings etc.. because our God is dwelling in us.
Luke 11:13
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
1 Peter 1:15
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
2 Peter 3:11
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
BE SAFE AND GET!
God bless you richly!
Jesus Christ loves you
Thank you Holy Spirit
ARE YOU SAVED?
