SANCTIFICATION

1 Thessalonians 5: 23

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
--------------------------------------------
 Heaven is a beautiful place. But it is also a place of rules. Some people may say that it is a free place where one does whatever he wishes. That is just imaginary. There are rules that govern heaven and that all who walk in it must walk by those rules. Having angels of different hiarechy, there are those whole rule over the others.
One rule in heaven is purity.

It is said within scripture, that without holiness, no one will see God. Have you ever wondered at some point to whether you are holy? Have you ever had three or five hours where you feel holiness.. holiness.? Many of the times when asked such a question, we say God should just forgive. We say it in an impression of "we have never been that". 

It may feel impossible, but it is one of the heavenly rules. 

The good news is that it is not you who makes yourself holy. Holiness in itself means set apart. It is not you who sets yourself apart. It is God who purifies. May God himself, the God of peace sanctify you through and through. May His hand stretch forth and purify all your spirit.

Our souls take in alot that may not be desirable by God. Our spirits takes in a lot that may not be desirable by God. Our bodies take in a lot that is not desirable by God. It is God to wash us through and through. Some people say that God only looks at the heart. That statement means that He is less concerned about your body.
But we have all seen it in the above scripture. It says that may your spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless. It is a compound of everything that composes man. Whether seen or unseen. God desires purity of everything on you. 
Now , however much He is the one to wash, it is also upon us to keep away from things that make us unclean before God. Things that we see, we think and things that touch or eat. We need to keep proper talk. We need to keep proper dressings. We need to keep a pure mind. The coming of Christ will benefit those that have been thoroughly sanctified.
 
                      GOD BLESS YOU

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
