God Has Called Us Holy


For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but to holiness. 1 Thessalonians 4:7

It is our Father’s desire for us to be holy, to be pure, to be powerful, to be perfect, and to be clean. He fully understands what we are. He knows better than we do about the weaknesses of our flesh and He knows our needs before we do. That is why our Father sent Jesus, so that all of our needs could be fulfilled through His riches and glory. Our Father sent Jesus so that our weaknesses would no longer matter, so that we could now be strong in the power of His might. The Blood of Christ is stronger than our inability's and the Grace of God is more powerful than our flesh. God knew we could never be clean by our own actions, so He said, "no problem, I love you enough, and I am God, so I will sanctify you Myself."

Think about God, our Father, for a minute. Ask yourself can He do everything? Most of us would say yes, He is God. So if God can do everything and we see that Jesus asked God to sanctify us, John 17:17, it should not be any problem at all for us to believe and accept that our Father is able to make us pure, clean, set us apart for holy use, and free us from sin.

This is the attitude the church needs to accept and walk in: We have been chosen and empowered by God Himself to make Jesus our Lord and Savior, so we are now one with Him. Since we are now the children of God, born of His seed, we are now clean, pure, free from sin, sanctified, and holy this day. Our power is the power of The Living God and we are now more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us this day. We can now be used by God to do all things through Christ Who strengthens us! We have been given the right, the privilege, and the abilities of God Himself to fulfill His will on this earth. And our Fathers will is glorious, it will fulfill our lives as nothing else will. It will satisfy us, bring us joy, peace, and true happiness. Our Fathers love is perfected within us and as He is so are we in this world!

The Holy Spirit will empower us to share these truths with others this day and we will watch God grow the seed of His Truth. Our Father will use us to plant the seeds that will produce a harvest that spans the oceans, a harvest that is not hindered by political boarders, or false religious creeds. When our Father sent Jesus, He sent Him in power and with demonstration of His Spirit. When Jesus sent His disciples, He sent them in power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus called Paul, He sent him with the power and demonstration of the Spirit of God. What would ever make the church think that our Father doesn’t do the same with us? Our Father is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He changes not!
