HOLINESS IS IT

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Proverbs 14:34
People of God, I want to get you on a hot frequency that will keep you hot the remaining days of your life!
God is saying something to the Church.
As God began to speak about Double Honour for the Church, I asked Him, What is it that guarantees consistent and never-ending honour’ He said:
Tell them, honour is rooted in righteousness .
And straightaway I began the teaching on holiness.
The following day, I got a copy of Kenneth Copeland's 30th anniversary publication of The Believer's Voice of Victory (January 1997) from the mails. And what did I see’
On the first page, Gloria Copeland was saying, Holiness is the pathway to God's glory . And she went on to say that beginning from 20th of January, she would begin to teach on the subject of holiness on their daily radio broadcast, from Andrew Murray's book The Holiest of All. That's a very unique coincidence!
Friends, heaven is sounding an alarm! God is blowing a trumpet from heaven to the body of Christ! There's a definite, very certain trumpet blowing from the throne of God!
God is crying out: Holiness! Holiness! Holiness Unto God!
There's a trumpet sounding now, preparing the Church for her hour of glory. That trumpet is saying:
If you will be holy, I will make you whole - spirit, soul and body. I will cause you to excel, and make you shine as the brightness of the firmament, and as the stars of heaven forever and ever.
Hear me friends, the Church is rising out of her debris and her filth, and taking her place in true holiness unto God. It's time!
Let me show you another prophetic link from as far back as 1961 (as contained in Charles and Frances Hunters' book, How To Heal The Sick (1983) pg. 8-16).
Last year, I mysteriously laid hold of a prophecy given by Tommy Hicks in 1961, describing a vivid vision of the body of Christ in the end’time:
Suddenly, I beheld what looked like a great giant, and as I stared and looked at it, I was almost bewildered by the sight. It was so gigantic and so great.
He's talking about the gigantic status of the end’time Church. Remember Joel 2 talks about
...a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like...a strong people set in battle array...And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army; for his camp is great...
That's where we belong!
Tommy Hicks continued:
His feet seemed to reach to the north pole and his head to the south. It's arm were stretched from sea to sea. I could not even begin to understand whether this be a mountain or this be a giant, but as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great giant. I could see his head was struggling for life. He wanted to live...
Do you really want to live’ The soul that sinneth shall die! That's what God's Word says. So why are you playing with sin and claiming that you want to live’
According to this prophecy, this end-time Church will have a desire to rise, and that desire will generate the force to rise. And with that force, hell will loose its grip! And the Church will lift up her head one more time. Light will come, and with the coming of that light, the force needed for this great army to rise and to live, will be generated! And the beauty of the Church will emerge! (Isaiah. 60:1).
The prophesy continued:
...but his body was covered with debris from head to foot, and at times this great giant would move his body and act as though it would even raise up at times. And when it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away. Hideous creatures would run from this giant, and when he would become calm, they would come back. All of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand toward the heaven, and then it lifted its other hand, and when it did, these creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the darkness of the night.
All hell loosed its grip of him. All hell will loose its grip of your life this hour!
Slowly, this great giant began to rise and as he did, his head and hands went into the clouds. As he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and filth that was upon him, and he began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord, and as he raised his hands, they went even unto the clouds.
When holiness takes a strong grip on every man and woman in the body of Christ, the rise of the Church will be so terrific!
Suddenly, every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever known.
That's talking about the inexplicable, unbeatable beauty that God has packaged for the end-time Church, which purity will cause to manifest. What a day we have come into! This prophecy given 36 years ago is talking about the Church to which you and I belong. That's the army of the Lord rising. You will not miss your place in it!
The Church will consciously, deliberately, determinedly and choicefully cleanse herself from every debris and filth, and lift up her head (like the prodigal son) and say, No! I will arise and go! Home is sweeter than this pig sty!
I'd like to announce to you that our Father's house is sweeter than the sweetest place on this earth! To miss that, with your eyes wide open, makes you the biggest fool of all ages! Friends, the beauty of Israel is just being unfolded. And God is calling the body of Christ unto purity, so everybody can become a partaker of this sudden beauty, which has right now begun to come upon quite a number already.
God is saying something very strong to the Church today’it's time to clean up!
That prophecy said:
He wanted to livze, but his body was covered with debris from head to foot...
That's a picture of the Church, the end-time army, the great army of God, presently pressed down with filthiness. Pressed down with immorality. Pressed down with lies, financial corruption, bribery, covetousness, idolatry, name it!
But at last this great giant rose! You will rise! If you want to see the beauty that God has in store for you in this end’time, it's time to go after purity.
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
Hebrews 12:14
God is saying to His body on the earth now:
Clean up! I want to beautify you.
Until you have cleaned up, you don't qualify for clean clothes, do you’ Until you go take a bath , God won't put new clothes on you. The glory that awaits the Church demands that we clean up first.
God is dangerously determined to beautify Zion, for the time for that marriage is set (Revelation. 19:7-8). Everyone that cleans up will be part of the bride. But everyone that says It doesn't matter! will be forgotten.
Everyone who will embrace the life of holiness will be a practical demonstrator of the beauty and glory of this end’time. Everyone that will say No! to the king's food (Daniel. 1:8), everyone that will say No! to Potiphar's wife (Genesis. 39:7-9), everyone that will say No! to Delilah (Judges. 16), everyone that will say No! to the Gehazi spirit (2 Kings 5), everyone that will say No! to the Ananias and Sapphira syndrome, (Acts 5), will be numbered among the shining stars of this end’time.
Friends, heaven is certain! But it takes holiness to get there. Likewise, this earth can be exciting for any child of God. But it takes holiness to have that excitement.
Hear this again: every move of God is preceded by a trumpet. And like 1 Corinthians 14:8 asks:
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle’
Every battle is preceded by a trumpet. Right now, there is a trumpet sound blowing from heaven, to get the saints ready for the last onslaught against the kingdom of darkness; and we are privileged of God not to be left behind.
The SIN question is the barrier now between the body and its Chief Commander, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. When the SIN question is dealt with, this present strong wave of glory and power in the Church will cover the earth. Oh, yes, it will!
Every time a trumpet is sounding, it's to prepare you for what lies ahead. Watch out! We are in the last days, and one of the traps of the last days is the trap of unholiness.
2 Timothy 3:1 warns us:
...in the last days perilous times shall come.
I'd like you to open up! God is doing something right now. God has been speaking about the new move all this while. Now the move has begun!
What we call revival is God's presence coming down in the midst of men (Zephaniah. 3:15). And God does not come until the way is prepared for His coming. May your life be prepared for His coming!
See this typical account in Exodus 19:
And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
Exodus 19:9-11,14-15
This shows the level of sanctification needed to welcome His majestic presence. He's here already. Just for you to open up, so that you can be a part of this glorious, mighty move, that's what we're talking about.
The children of Israel washed their clothes as they were instructed, and you know the rest of the story:
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
Exodus 19:18
God's presence is the seal for His great acts amongst His people. And it takes the sanctification of a people for God's presence to come down without casualties. You will not be a casualty in these times we're in!
God said:
Sanctify them today and tomorrow and the third day...Tell them, clean up! Clean up!! Clean up!!! He that will come is on the way!
And verse 14 says:
...and they washed their clothes
Friends, God's presence will distinguish His saints these end’times. The word saint will come back to the true Church. People would be called, Saint Joseph, Saint Paul, Saint Victor, etc. This will be by reason of our stainless walk with God.
Sanctify them today and tomorrow...
Holiness is double sanctification. It's knowing it and walking in it. These endtimes, the Church will march gallantly into the realms of stainless holiness.
Friends, let's wake up! Something is happening here! There's a strong trumpet from heaven saying:
I am going to come down. I am going to differentiate between my own, between the righteous and the wicked; between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not (Malachi 3:18).
May you fall into the positive side!
We're in a healing season, for the establishment of glory in the body of Christ. It's time to brace up and take your place in this wild move. It's a possibility! God has shown us examples.
Sin is destructive; righteousness is constructive. Let's begin to demonstrate the nature of Christ by manifesting practical holiness in our thoughts, words and actions. To be lawless is to be lifeless!
Holiness is a covenant treasure of the saints of God. I'm talking about blazing holiness! It is holiness for wholeness. Listen friends, God is visiting His body with the Spirit of holiness. Our sonship will be manifested in holiness. And the world is waiting!
Let's come to our sonship, and stop struggling at the level of servanthood. When the sons of God appear, the earth will tremble! It is that sonship that God is building this hour, by the Spirit of holiness. Every act of God has a foundation. Psalm 11:3 says:
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do’
What is the foundation for power’ What is the foundation for the supernatural, (which is going to characterise the end-time Church)’ It is very clear:
The foundation of God for man is RIGHTEOUSNESS! We are talking about the release of power! We are talking about the manifestation of the sons of God! It's time to decide in which camp to be.
For everything there is a time (Ecclesiastes. 3:1). The Church is now in the hour of her sanctification, in preparation for her manifestation. If you miss this hour of sanctification, you are heading towards destruction unknowingly! It's time to live His life.
Before Jesus comes, the fear that people now have for the devil will be shifted to the Church. The Church of Jesus Christ will command the fear of all that dwell on the earth, by reason of the enormity of power manifestation, coming out of the realms of PURITY that the Church will be walking in.
We're training up to be part of that glorious army. All we need do is to awake to RIGHTEOUSNESS, and like good soldiers, endure whatever manner of hardness that will arise as a result. It's war time! That's what the trumpet is saying. So, brace up! Get set! Or you'll be a casualty.
This message is not sent to anybody else, it's sent to YOU!! You in person! To get you set, lest you become a casualty, as the war intensifies. Whatever you must have heard before in this light, let's call it fun. It is now war! Therefore, watch out, sir!
Jesus looked over Jerusalem and wept, because they knew not the time of their visitation:
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
Luke 19:41-44
If you miss the time of your visitation, you end up in destruction! Be sensitive! Something is about to break loose in your life! God is visiting the earth now, to prepare the body of Christ for the last onslaught against the kingdom of darkness. It is our time!
When you're ignorant of your time of visitation you end up in devastation. Sir, what we have going on now is a divine visitation, to deliver from destruction! It is so clear! So real! This trumpet sounding is for us. It is for our final preparation. You shall not be destroyed!
You need a turn around. That's why God has come around with this visitation mystery. This visitation is for you! Not for your neighbour, or your husband, or your wife, or your boss. Don't look at somebody else!
There is something about you that you need to stop, or it will stop you in this great move! There is something in your hand you need to drop now, or it will drop you tomorrow! There is something you must disappoint now, or you will be the one disappointed tomorrow. God is not mocked!
This is a very strange trumpet sounding from the throne of God! Clean up! Time is running out! Before you are abandoned, abandon SIN! Now! If you don't abandon it now, you will be abandoned by God tomorrow!
God is about to enthrone the Church. And He did not enthrone Jesus until He fulfilled all righteousness. We were told in Psalm 45:6-7:
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
God is determined to glorify His Church. Whosoever does not let shall be let, until he be taken out of the way (2 Thessalonians. 2:7-8). That will not be you!
In this book, you will discover the way of escape, in Jesus name! God does not only show us the problem, He also offers the solution. And we are here, in this timely book, looking into those solutions. Heaven is sounding an alarm, for the Church to come out of corruption, and enter into MANIFESTATIONS.
In this book, God is offering you the treatment required. I want you to see the urgency, and give it all your attention. I'd like you to be awake! This is your hour of deliverance. God wants to bring you into a realm of purity that will establish your covenant beauty upon the earth, and make you the envy of your generation!
God is now set to release glory to His body, and they have to be set for Him, otherwise they will be destroyed by it. You will be raised by it! You will be lifted by it, in Jesus precious name!
Hear this: HOLINESS is an adventure, a possible adventure. Many have gone in the way of holiness, and are walking on the highways of life. You can go that way too. SIN is not a friend, it's a destroyer any day! But PURITY is the booster of power! The whole creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. It's time to retrace our steps back home.
In this book, the Holy Ghost, this hour, is offering you treatments that will never let you become calm enough to let the hideous creatures lay hold on you again (as in Tommy Hicks' prophecy).
Remember Joshua the high priest in Zechariah 3:1-5’ Satan stood by him to resist him and forced a filthy garment on him. But God brought him out. That same God is here this hour. If you sincerely want to, you too will come out.
Get set for an ENCOUNTER with the HOLINESS of God! Let His coal of fire touch you and renew you; refire you and put you back on your feet! Sin has been having a field day, we must stop it before it stops us!
I have seen devastations and I'm scared! God is warning us: Be holy, for I am holy!
Romans 6:23 tells us:
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We will be celebrating that gift of eternal life, as we subdue sin and begin to punish the devil, who is the man of sin .
This book is announcing that there is a wave of holiness that is coming upon the body of Christ, to prepare her for the final onslaught against Satan's dominion; which will cause us to take our place in destiny and bring God's people to their inheritance. Thank God we are not left behind! I want you to open up right now and believe God this day for a hot desire for holiness.
Many are stranded, many are strangulated, life is becoming terribly unbearable for many - all because of sin! It's time to take your place in true holiness unto God. Satan is out for us because we are precious. Let's stop him, now!
You will encounter the holiness of God in this book, and the fullness of His glory will be made manifest in your life henceforth, in Jesus precious name!
