The Forgotten Word


Holiness. That is not a word we hear too very often these days. When we do, it seems as though it is smothered, covered or otherwise decorated with other words. So much so that by the time it (the word holiness) actually reaches our ears, our hearts, our souls, our spirits; the magnificent, simple, gut wrenching, life changing, convicting power of the word 'holiness' seems to have completely disappeared. Completely lost all of it's intended purpose.
So what IS it's intended purpose of this word?
Well, the word holiness is a 'God' word. Meaning it was established by almighty God to describe Himself. As well, to describe how his people should seek to live their daily lives.
We were created to have a relationship with our creator.
This is our sole purpose in life. From this, our relationship with our creator, does everything else derive it's commission.
Does this sound so unrealistic?
Our creator desiring to have a relationship with his creation?
Not to me.
Although there have been a great many objections that come in the way of a smooth relationship between us and our creator. All of which have stemmed from sin. 

Our creator, God Almighty, in all His Holiness, made a way for us to continue having a relationship with Him, should we choose to do so. As He had originally planned since the beginning.
 Through sacrificing His beloved Son Yeshua, to pay for the sin of the world and bridge the gap between us and Himself. Allowing for ALL to come back to God, our Creator and have an everlasting relationship with Him!
This is where Holiness comes in.
It is a wonder and an awe. Absolutely MIND BOGGLING to me what God has done for us!
We don't deserve it! What God has done for us. I know I wouldn't have done it. Would YOU?
Would you have given YOUR child to die a horrible death for millions of people that would end up spitting on Him and cursing Him and rejecting Him and you?
But thankfully I am not God.
I do wish to be in His presence, though and I do wish to see Him and see His Glory. 
The word of God is very clear about what we need in our lives to taste of these good fruits. 
Yeshua/Jesus told us in on the sermon on the mount, 
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
In Ezekiel God says of Himself...
"I the LORD am the Holy One in Israel."
and Apostle Peter reminds us in ch 1:16
"But just as he [God] who called you, is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: 
"Be holy, because I am holy."

The Word of God, the Holy Scripture is pack loaded full of scripture after scripture of exhortation and encouragement, ways that you and I as believers can come before our Lord and "taste" of His Holiness. "taste" of His glory!


Do we wonder why our time with God is dry -un-moving, seemingly even, un-glorious?

Why we only seem to experience times of God's powerful anointing in corporate praise and prayer sessions? And not in our personal prayer closets?
Perhaps it's time to look deep inside our hearts. 

If this is you - I encourage you to take time out of your busy day, to just sit and listen to your heart.

Ask the LORD to speak.
"Lord, speak, for your servant is listening."

You are all wonderful and I love you tons!

Alone with God

Alone with God
Quaking, shaking, crying
On my face
Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else
Only holy, only holy
Nothing else
Only holy, only holy

Sudden hush of glory
Peace, quiet, stillness,
On my face
Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else
Only holy, only holy
Nothing else
Only holy, only holy

Voice of God speaks
Small, quiet, mighty
Enters my soul
Heals, delivers, instructs

Heaven comes down
Humbled, thankful, jubilant
Angelic voices singing
Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else
Only holy, only holy
Nothing else
Only holy, only holy

I join in
On my face
Sing
Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else
Only holy, only holy
Nothing else
Only holy, only holy

Alone with God
