to share our word with us and you know we really thank god for you know the privilege to be here and we really thank him for life amen amen as we go through tonight we you know pray that you know the souls of individuals tuning in will be blessed and somebody under the sun in our voice will make the decision to turn to the lord but this is not you know about me it's not about the bishop it's not about anybody that is here but you know it's really about god and the fact that god wants to save soul you know makes a difference so as we go tonight i'm just going to open in prior and then we you know get in the word father in the name of jesus we appreciate you tonight we love you we bless your name we magnify you we thank you again for this privilege for this opportunity to be here almighty god we ask god that you will come in our midst oh god we might be gathering over the internet but you say we're two or three are gathered almighty god you we have a medium by which we gather and we pray almighty god that you will bless each and every soul tonight we ask god that as we discuss things pertaining to holiness and as we recap god baptism of the holy ghost that your perfect will be done speak to your people like only you want to and we pray god that when all is said and done that you'll be glorified and that you'll be lifted up in the name of jesus christ in jesus name and let me just take time out to welcome everyone that is tuning in irrespective of where you are tuning in from we welcome you tonight and you know we give god thanks for you that you are here and that you you know have tuned in to hear what the lord has to say amen bless the lord bless the lord so you know our team scripture the first one is taken from first timothy 4 verse 1 and it reads thus know the spirit speak it expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving hebrews to use in spirit and doctrine of devils speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a hot iron forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats which god had created to be received with thanksgiving for of them which believe and know the truth second scripture is taken from ii timothy chapter 4 from verses 1 through to 4. i charge thee therefore before god and the lord jesus christ who shall judge the quick and the dead at is appearing and his kingdom preach the word be instant in season out of season reprove rebuke exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine for the time will come when they will not end your sound doctrine but after their own loss shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears amen amen all right so last week we looked at baptism of the holy spirit remember we have been saying that in order to receive salvation in order to be saved that we must be identified with the debt burial resurrection and ascension of jesus christ we must work in newness of life amen and we look in baptism and we say that as an individual we must be identified with christ jesus said to nicodemus marvel not i say unto thee you must be born again be born of the water and of the spirit amen we did say last week that in order for somebody to receive the baptism of the holy ghost that he must first repent of his sins and then he must believe we must have faith and we went through the topic and faith and we did say without faith it is impossible to please god for any man come to god must believe that god is and that god is a rewarder of them that diligently him no i know that many of us who are watching we are somehow knowledgeable about the doctrine amen and you know sometimes i like a refresher is good and sometimes there are some things that we might point out that you know you might have not seen it that way you know but all credit me to god amen so we look at the baptism of the holy ghost and we did mention that god is holy when we talk about the holy spirit or the holy ghost we are essentially talking about the spirit of god that god has been that god has given to mankind we must bear in mind that god is holy in fact there are many scriptures amen that tells us that god is holy and we look at first peter 1 verse 16 no i'm not even gonna read it because as we get down into holiness we are going to use this scripture as the reference and we are going to get into the scripture and we are going to talk about what peter said amen so god is holy and we establish that the original word that has been transferred from the greek is pneuma which means spirit and hagian which means holy no when you put those together you get holy spirit we also established last week that the holy spirit is the spirit of god acts five three and four but peter said to ananias why had satan fill thine heart to lie to the holy ghost and to keep back a part of thine price of thy land why is it remain was it not thine own and after it was sold was it not thine own why has thou can receive this thing in thy heart though has not lied unto men but unto god so we are saying that the holy ghost is the spirit of god and if you look at when the apostles spoke and and the scripture you know made a reference of it when he had that dialogue with ananias amen ananiah sold that parcel of land and he planned with his wife that we are going to say that this is what we selling i'm for and when we tell him that you know he can look on us that yes we we we sell all our land and we give everything we don't take back anything and if you look at that in itself that is the pride of life amen and when they came to the apostle and they told him that the apostle recognized through the spirit of god that they were lying and said why have see it and tempted you to lie to the holy spirit but then further down he said that you have not lied to men but you have lied to god so i want us to know just from the scripture and from other passage that we made reference of that the holy spirit is the spirit of god we also look at romans 8 verse 9 but ye are not in the flesh but in the spirit if so be that the spirit of god dwell in you now if any man have not the spirit of christ he is none of his again the apostle he first of all said you are not in the flesh but in the spirit if so be that the spirit of god dwells in you no we know that it's only the holy spirit the holy ghost that comes to dwell in men so he was saying that the spirit of god dwells in you know if any man have not the spirit of christ he is none of his so when we look at the passage we can clearly conclude that the holy spirit is the spirit of god i also made mention amen and it's very important for us to keep this in mind and bear this in mind um that in order for us to operate the way that we god wants us to operate amen in order for us to walk in this newness of life we cannot do it of our own it can only be accomplished by the spirit of god amen so when you look at a man an individual take for for example you know myself if i should of myself amen i cannot walk how god wants me to walk i cannot live how god wants me to live it's only because of the holy ghost amen when he the spirit of truth comes we said the spirit will guide you amen and it is a spirit of god that will help us to live for god and to walk the way in which she wants us to work amen so we mention that samuel in first samuel 16 verse 13 and 14 verses 13 and 14 then samuel took the arn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brother this is no david and the spirit of the lord came mightily upon david from that day forward and samuel arose and ran to rama no the spirit of the lord departed from saul and an evil spirit from the lord terrorize him i want you to understand that just like i have said that without the spirit of god we cannot move we cannot operate we cannot do the things that god wants we cannot function as a spiritual being if if if it is not for the spirit of god and here the bible is telling us we know david as a great king but again the bible tells us that is it was when the spirit of god came upon david after samuel anointed him that is the time david began to do the things that god wanted him to do yes he had a good heart and yes he was tending to the sheep but it was the spirit of god that made a difference in the life of david so last week we look also at the holy spirit and we list them in points we say we look at the importance of having the holy spirit we look at the prophecies about the old porn of the holy spirit we look at the new testament promises and the fulfillment in the apostolic church the signs and then we look lastly at the signs of knowing when one received the holy spirit amen are we just running through them amen it is important the whole the baptism of the holy spirit is it is important why because it is a part of salvation we went through the section chapter 3 verses 1 2 5. jesus spoke and he said you must be born again you must be born of the water and be born of the spirit that spirit that jesus christ was talking about was the baptism or is the baptism of the holy spirit amen and so nicodemus said can a man when he's old um born again and jesus said look here um you must be born off the water and of the spirit i say unto you you must be born again the wind blow it where it listed and though here is the sound thereof but can us not tell whence it cometh and whether it goes so is everyone that is born amen of the spirit the verse this verse places emphasis on not only water baptism but also the baptism of the holy spirit the baptism of the holy spirit it is a part of the plan of salvation you cannot amen be saved without being filled with the spirit the bible also tells us in romans 8 verses verse 9 amen but we are not in the flesh but we are in the spirit if so be that the spirit of god dwells in you no if any man have not the spirit of christ he is none of his anyone who does not have the spirit and this is the esv of christ does not belong to him so he we can't tell folks and this was one of the points that we brought last week we can't tell folks that look here if you accept jesus christ if you come to an altar and you pray i pray and you said yes you confess with your mouth you know but your heart is not at the place and you say yes i accept jesus christ i see if i understand because somebody tell you to say it you know there's nothing from your heart amen and then when you leave the altar look here you they took that right on your name and saying yes you are saved you have the holy ghost i want to tell the church and i want to tell those who probably do not understand and you are tuning in that that is a lie from the pit of hell and we need to to to make sure that when we when you hear folks talk and you hear them say look here just pray the prayer nothing like that the bible does not teaches that what the bible say is that you must be born again amen so the baptism of the holy spirit it is a part of the plan of salvation now we also said that the holy spirit is important because it is a holy spirit now that will cause that change in our bodies when amen the trumpet of the lord shall sown and we know that we are not looking for a pie in the sky we believe amen because if the holy spirit is real and i am a recipient of the holy spirit amen i can attest to that then heaven must be real so we are not believing god for a pie in the sky and when christ comes again amen what is going to happen when the trumpet of god sown you must have the holy spirit because it is the holy spirit that is going to cause that chain that change amen and when we look at the bible in corinthians first corinthians chapter 15 he says that you shall be changed in the moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump so i want us to know that the only way that change is going to happen is if we have the holy spirit so let us not take it lightly and you know folks that said that look here i'm saved and as individuals that are concerned about their soul we have not asked them if they have received the holy ghost remember when we went through baptism the apostle paul was concerned about the the the the soul of john the baptist disciples and he said unto them well if you see if um you receive the holy voice and i say which we haven't even heard of holy spirit himself well if you have not heard about what he was what then were you baptized and let's understand baptism and you have this feeling that and you don't ask them you must ask them yes you say you seem how is it that you know that you're safe amen and that is a question that we must be able i know that i'm sick because i've repented of my sins baptized in the name of jesus christ for the remission of those things and i receive the gift of the holy spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues amen and if you ask them and you hear them say why don't we just go to the altar you need to explain to them the gospel and explain to them what it takes for a man to be saved amen amen so the spirit also makes intercession for us romans 8 26 and 27 likewise the spirit also helped our infirmities for we know not what to to pray for as we art but the spirit itself make an intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered and he that searches the heart know it what is the mind of the spirit because he make it intercession for the saints according to the will of god amen so sometimes as individuals we have burden we said and we are burdened on with some things and and sometimes we want to pray about some things and it is the holy spirit that makes intercession for us so sometimes when we we we go down to pray f to pray amen and we get in the spirit and the holy spirit no makes intercession yes we talk in another language that sometimes we don't understand sometimes we've grown and it's a spirit that grown it but amen we are we are the spirit make it intercession for us bless the name of god and then the spirit also help us to live a life that is pleasing to god as we had mentioned earlier on and john 16 verse 13 how it be hit when he the spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all truth for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear that he shall speak and he will show you things to come spirit also gives us power to live above the flesh this i say then galatians 5 verse 16 and 17 this i say then walk in the spirit and he shall not fulfill the loss of the flesh for the flesh lost it against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh and these are contrary the one to the other so that he cannot do the things he would i want us to know tonight as children of god that we need to work in the spirit work in this holy ghost because the flesh lost it against the spirit and the spirit the spirit wants us to do the things of god but the flesh the desires amen that we were born with want us it tends towards sin and the apostle paul said o wretched man that i am who shall deliver me from this body of death what i want us to as children of god to have to be persuaded to have a made-up mind that we are going to walk in the spirit walk pleasing to god in the spirit that we might not fulfill the loss of the flesh then there was prophecy and remember you know as we go through and as we get into holiness we are going to see it even the same way because as we have been saying line open line precept open precepts here a little dear a little amen so we have been saying that from the old testament we talk about belief we talk about it from the old testament and then we come over into the new testament we talk about repentance we talk about that from the old testament because from from from way back there god has been calling man to repent and then we come over in the new testament and we show you that look here god is calling us to repent and steal when we spoke about water baptism we mention bless god that from that time baptism was dear in typology and in the new testament god requires baptism as a part of the plan of salvation then norway when we spoke about the holy spirit last week we look at the prophecy amen first peter mentioned a couple of things but when we look at scripture like jeremiah 31 verses 31 to 33 behold the day's comments said the lord that i will make a new covenant with the house of israel and with the host of judah not according to the covenant that i made with their fathers in the day that i took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of egypt with my covenant daybreak although i was a husband man unto them saith the lord but this shall be the covenant that i will make with the host of israel after those they say the lord i will put my laws in their inward parts and write it in their hearts and will be their god and they shall be my people the covenant is no in our hearts amen bless the lord the covenant is no in our hearts the covenant is written in our hearts amen by the baptism of the holy spirit joel 2 28 and it shall come to pass afterwards that i will pour out my spirit upon all flesh your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your old men shall dream dreams your young men shall see vision also upon the servants and upon the un the handmaids in those days will i pour out spirit the new testament promises in matthew 3 verses 11 john said i indeed baptize you with water unto repentance but he that coming after me is mightier than i who choose i am not worthy to bear he shall baptize you with the holy ghost and with fire in luke 11 verse 13 if even being evil no hope to give good gifts unto your children this is what jesus speaking how much more shall your heavenly father give the holy spirit to them that asks him so when we look at the fulfillment of the old pony of the holy spirit we look at the in the book of acts acts chapter 2 1-4 and it was on the day of pentecost that the holy ghost was poured out so all the prophecies that came that that all the prophets that prophesied in the old testament amen john the baptist the forerunner of jesus spoke of the baptism of the holy spirit jesus himself amen said that his father will send the comforter no when we look in the book of acts all of those no culminate in the book of acts when the day of pentecost was fully come and when the day of pentecost was fully come the bible says that they were all with one occurred in one place and suddenly there came a song from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and we know the story they were all filled with the holy ghost and began to speak with tongues as the spirit gave utterance so on the day of pentecost they received the holy spirit the apostle paul the apostle peter got up and he spoke and he as he spoke he was it was confirmed the other apostles they agreed with him and when he spoke about the baptism of the holy ghost he quoted from joel and he said this was that which was spoken by the prophet joel that in the last years the lord said i will pour out my spirit upon all flesh how do i know that i receive the holy ghost if you look in the book of acts which is the action book you're gonna recognize that on the dear pentecost the people around them recognize that something was different than what was different because i heard them spoke in tongues and they said that these were made mad men and he said no we're not matter when not drunk amen he said that we're not mattering out drunk like you suppose but we amen this is that which was spoken by the prophet joel this is the holy spirit isaiah also foretold it himself with stammering lips and another tongue will i speak to these people amen so god had told us from in the old testament that he's going to use tongues amen to speak to the people and it was fulfilled on the day of pentecost mark 16 verse 17 he said these signs shall follow them that believe in my name they shall cast out devils they shall speak with what new tongues so you can't be somebody can't say that you receive the holy ghost are you believe god and you have never spoken something is wrong something is wrong so these signs shall follow them that believe they shall speak with new tongues are you a believer the 120 in the upper room on the day of pentecost they spoke with tongs if you look at carnelia scanilos story was one of the good story the better story amen and it is found in acts 10 verses 44 to 46 while peter yet speak these words the holy ghost fell on them yes a carnivorous heart was at the place the heart of his family those around him was at the place the bible said that he was a devoted man devoted to god amen and while peter yet spoke the words the bible said that the holy ghost fell upon them and they of the circumcision which believed were astonished as many as came with peter because that and the gentiles also was poured out the gift of the holy ghost why amen because they heard them speak with tongues and magnify god i want us to know that if you have not you said that you received the holy ghost and you never yet spoke in tongues you have not received the holy ghost amen and it's not it's not my word is what the bible tells us amen so tonight we want to know look into holiness because we said that the the apostles we are looking now at the apostles doctrine amen and paul said to timothy that the time is going to come that when they will not endure so induction they will not embrace on doctrine amen and they are going to have itching ears and they are going to turn onto fables and i want us to understand that that it it it's not ten years to come but even right now when we are looking around us and some things are happening church i'm telling you you might be might be covered so to speak and you're not hearing some of the things that are happening but some serious things that are happening you have some men that are saying that they are prophets and they come and read and they come on tv amen and they tell folks some things and you'll be surprised and when it don't happen when it all comes through i don't know what and i and i and i have to sit down the other night and i have to wonder if a man come and he says that he's a prophet listen this if a man comes and he says that he's a prophet and he'll tell you say look here lock up in your house because something going past and people going to drop down undead and you lock up in your house and nothing don't happen on the day and the time that he said that it would happen i would have to consider seriously if i should listen to such a person again you get what i'm saying and there are folks and this is and this is how you know that these false prophets are working with some spirit and when they catch you know amen these spirits come and attach themselves to your eyes are blind your spiritual eyes so to speak and you cannot see because if if it no happen is like it's just nothing this man is is is his theories he's seen god is hearing from god if he's seeing god and if he's hearing from god and he says don't say the lord then it should come to pass and the eyes of many are blinded and hang here as we go through this this doctrine amen i want us to understand truth i want us to know truth i want us to be able to identify when these speakers false prophets and teachers speak oh to be able to identify how to know to stand up into what you believe so that you will not be persuaded otherwise though we are an angel from heaven speak any other doctrine unto you let him be a curse so as we look at holiness tonight the scripture that we need to pay attention to is first peter 1 13 to 16. amen and let us look at that one it says wherefore gird of the lines of your mind be sober and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of jesus christ as obedient children not fashioning yourself according to the formal loss of your ignorance but as he which i call you is holy so be only in all manner of conversation this word conversation is not talking about the conversation that you have with your neighbor amen but it's talking about how you live amen because it is written be only for i am holy we can try to teach what the bible say about holiness we can tell you the requirements that god has for holiness we can tell you that it's a command be holy for i am holy however it is incumbent on the individual to live holy so irrespective of what i tell you today irrespective of what you have been hearing from ever since you become a part of this feat amen it is you the individual that has the responsibility to live a life that is pleasing and acceptable unto the lord i want us to know that the preacher can preach amen and the teacher can teach but as individuals we have got to be persuaded in our mind that holiness is necessary in order to make it into heaven then we must live holy the problem that we are having as it pertains to holiness as a church amen the problems that we are having as it pertains to holiness it is that there are different standards for different individuals the bishop on this side of the vineyard um might be teaching exactly what the bible says about holiness but on the other hand there is another past another bishop that is teaching something else and and and consider it as being holy amen no we on this side might look over on the other side and we said that if they they are going to happen and if they are being taught that they can do this and do that and dress a certain way then we should be able to do it because it's and that is the problem that we are having because there are different standards um when we look around the church arena as it pertains to holiness but when it comes to god amen when it comes to god it is one standard god has one standard for holiness if we look on the other side and see that they are doing something it is upon us to therefore question as a christian as an individual that desires god should i do that is that right what does the bible has to say about it and like i said earlier on the bible might not mention certain things verbatim when we talk about doctrine earlier and the bible might not say certain things word for word but i want you to understand that based on the principles we can draw some conclusion and know that that is not what we ought to do as children of god i want us to understand that if we are going to do as the scriptures say be equally for i am holy we must remember that god has no two no three no four standards as it pertains to holiness god has one standard not holiness according to brother billy not holiness according to bishop dearly but holiness according to god standard anything outside of that is unacceptable be only for i am holy when we talk about the holy spirit we mentioned that god is holy and i and as we go down and talk about holiness i want us to know that god is holy whenever we talk about the heights of holiness we can only look to god he is the epitome of holiness there is none like him or any to be compared to him if we look at exodus 15 verse 11 who is like unto thee oh lord among the gods who is like thee glorious in holiness amen fearful in praise doing wonders is not just holy no but he's majestic in holiness in other words his holiness is impressive the you can't compare any thing or anyone to him as it pertains to holiness oh jesus first samuel 2 verse 2 there is none holy like the lord indeed there is none beside him nor is there any rock like our god and then let us look at isaiah 6 verses 2 and 3. so we are now establishing that god is holy and i want us to to get this because if we are going to get holiness amen we must get the fact that god is holy sometimes our our behavior amen what we do our conversation as the scripture said who we our lifestyle is it says that we think that god is not holy because if we think that god is holy and we're trying to please god then our work will be holy these are angels that are in the presence of the lord these are angels that were made and have not sinned they are in the presence of the lord above it stood the seraphims each one had six wings with twenty covered his face and with twenty cover his feet and with twenty did fly and one cried unto another and said holy holy holy is the lord of hosts the whole earth is full of his glory oh jesus these are angels mighty god they are in the presence of god and the only expression that they can find is to say holy holy holy can you imagine the awesomeness of god from ever since god made them this was their duty and they showed forth the holiness of god the most frequently used attribute of god is found in the old testament and it refers to his holiness some some 200 and hard times the bible makes mention of god being holy the seraphims cover their face amen in all and wonderment as they cry holy holy is the lord of force the whole earth is full of his glory similarly we find in the new testament revelation 4 verse 8 this attribute of god being extolled by the four living creatures who cried day and night holy holy holy is the lord god almighty who was and is and is to come all these four living creatures did was to cry day and night the bible says holy holy is the lord god almighty this is ho holy when we talk about holiness you see because we don't understand true holiness and full holiness what was your holiness is just coming like our holy just come like any other but it's not any other thing the word we use our word to dis but look at the words cannot describe it they see if we get this if we get this as individuals who love god if we get this that that just god alone is just i can't find the word just holy then we will mirror our life of the life of jesus christ i would like us to know as i make a little pause here that there is a doctrine that says because the angels say holy holy holy is the lord god almighty and because the four beasts say holy holy is holy is the lord god almighty that one holy is for the father one holy is for the son and one holy is for the holy spirit this is how deceptive and conniving the adversary is if you are not careful he will use the scriptures on you and twist you up what if if you look at the scripture you know and that is why i'm still trying to understand the scripture that says the natural man cannot understand the things of the spirit probably because now i'm safe and the spirit kind of um spiritual eyes because the cm scripture you know that is used for that doctrine is the same scripture that says holy holy is the l-o-r-d so so if you're not careful the adversary will twist the scripture will you the same scripture not twist it and will cause you to depart from the truth isaiah 43 and verse 15. i am the lord your holy one the creator of israel your king and of course there are more scriptures that we could look at however the passages that we have read just just a few amen they mentioned about this attribute of god another way to refer to the holiness of god is to say it is absolute perfection his very being is completely absent of a trace of sin james 1 verse 3 tells us god cannot be tempted with evil there is no evil in him he is high above any other and no one can compare to him god's holiness pervades in his entire being and shape all his attributes so if we talk about god is love we're talking about our holy love if we're talking about god is merciful it's a holy mercy if we're talking about the wrath of god it's a holy wrath when the bible talks about the habitation of god it says die holy habit anywhere god is and you amen it is holy when oh god when when when when when he he manifested himself at that place to moses amen i tell you know where god is oh god it's just it just changed him the place where you're standing it wasn't holy before you know but know that god manifests himself there i'm saying moses the place where your stand is wholly grown there his habitation is holy this is the kind of god that we're talking about and i want us to understand that because this god is holy god can't really deal with the the hand walleting the unclean thing you know and so look here there's a call on us as christians to live holy yes god is holy everything about him is holy but there is a call for us to be holy like we have been saying and we have been doing we have been talking about the the scriptures and from the old testament to the new testament so god is holy and he calls all people to be holy just as we call the old testament sins to holiness so it is that the new testament sins are called to live holy leviticus 11 verses 44 and 45 for i i'm the lord your god he shall therefore sanctify yourselves and he shall be holy for i am holy needle shall he defile yourselves with any manner of creeping things that creep upon the earth i want us to understand that before the scripture they could have ate anything but no god is trying to distinguish them and say look here don't eat these things don't eat these things so here it was that god gave them instruction he gave moses the instruction and he said to moses and iran and he says say unto the children of israel let me say that again say unto the children of israel he was instructing them and the things that they should eat to be different from the other look here they were eating the same things like the other nation it they had on the same clothes clothes that the niche the other night they live in tent like the other nation so what would be there to separate them i told you you have to understand that god had to know implement some things to separate them from those who were around them and i'm saying look here i am the lord your god he shall therefore sanctify yourselves and shall be you only for i am holy neither shall it defile yourselves with any manner of creeping things i want us to know that god was specific it was a call for the children of israel to separate themselves amen from the nations around them they had everything like the nations around them but god wanted them to be particular peculiar and so he had to say look here don't eat it because the other nation eat it i don't want you to eat it this is what i i want to do want you to do and if you do it you shall be holy amen and then he said leviticus 9 verse 2 so he wanted to to separate them and then he said do we are your worship so so you don't eat that don't eat that and then whole you carry on worship must be different from allah the other nations the other nations had image they did not have an image and he said leviticus 9 verse 2 and he said unto aaron take thee a young calf i seen a friend sorry leave it because 19 verse 2 i'm sorry speak unto all the congregation of the children of israel and say unto them you shall be only for i the lord your god i'm holy it was not a question it was a requirement be e only for the lord your god is holy liberty verse 20 verse 7. it basically says the same thing sanctify yourselves therefore and be you only for i am holy if we go down even to deuteronomy 23 verse 14 and and let us look at this one it says for the lord thy god walketh in the midst of the camp look here all right let us go up and read one verse before let us read verse 13 and then we'll come back to 14. i want you to understand because this was not god was not physically walking in the camp you know but look here verse 13 and those shall have a paddle upon thy weapon and it shall be the window will he ease thyself abroad because you cannot ease yourself in another camp you know those shall dig there with and shall turn back and cover that with comet from od we know what is that right so go down to verse 14 you know for the lord thy god walk in the midst of the camp to deliver thee and to give up their enemies before thee therefore shall they can be holy that is see no and this is talking about the same field from verse 13 you know you have to cover it up on your feet outside of the camp so that when god walks through the camp he will not come upon lord god yes your shoes get messed up almighty god look here i said god is still god tell him look you'll cover up that because when i pass through the camp the cat must be holy this is the type of god that we're talking about but then when you come over into the new testament we recognize the apostle in romans 12. he said i beseech you therefore bridging by the mercies of god that you present your bodies a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto god which is your reasonable servant paul says i beseech you therefore present your body is a living sacrifice holy pleasing to god paul admonition to the believers in rome was to sacrifice themselves to god not a sacrifice on the altar as in the the mosaic time but a living sacrifice this he says is your reasonable not even not even not even excellent you know but him say just to present your body a living sacrifice is a reasonable service the dictionary defines sacrifice as anything consecrated and offered to god as believers hold who we can to create and offer ourselves to god as a living sacrifice for those who are born again believers repentance repent water baptized in the name of jesus christ filled with the holy ghost and he's trying our best to live holy the holy ghost like i said earlier on will lead us but the barn-again believer must heal himself as an instrument of righteousness therefore self must be slain it can be be that look here if you're trying to please yourself you cannot please god so if you want to work acceptable and be a living sacrifice wholly unacceptable which a person here spoke about self must be slain every desire of self must be slain if we want to please the lord we must give god full control i must decrease and christ must increase i want to tell somebody tonight that if you are on the front burner and you put christ behind i want you to understand that you're not going about it the right way anytime you begin to work and please yourself you cannot please god we must come to the point of being a living sacrifice when you look at me i'm a dead man walking because i am not of myself amen for me to live is christ so we must amen give ourselves to god there's a call on the scenes in the new testament to to deny themselves amen take up the cross and follow christ dearly dearly we must die dearly we must kill self that is why we always say lord is not my will thy will be done amen first thessalonians four and seven for god are not call us unto uncleanness no because we've been saying that god is holy and the call that he called us no is not unto uncleanness he calls us from uncleanness for god does not call us unto uncleanness but unto what holiness so i don't want us to think that look here we come together when we come to god we can encourage unto holiness but holiness according to my standard because i must get these things done and i must do do these things if i have to tell a little lie i'm going to tell a little lie if i no that is not god want god wants us to be completely so lord to him then when we look at first john 3 verses 6 to 10. whosoever abideth in him sin it not whosoever seen it had not seen him neither known him little children let no man deceive you he that do it righteousness is righteous even he is righteous he that committed sin is of the devil for the devil seen it from the beginning for this purpose the son of god was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil whosoever is born of god do it not commit sin for his seed remain it in him and he cannot sin because he is born of god in this the children of god are manifested and the children of the devil whosoever do it not righteousness is not of god neither he that loveth not his brother no one who loves him i'm reading from a different version no one who loves him keeps on sinning no one who continues to sin has either seen him or know him dear children do not let anyone lead you and this is lead you astray and this is what i'm trying to to to accomplish as we go through this study don't let anyone lead you astray and this is what the adversary is trying to do in this then age if he can lead you astray if he can choose it i mean put the okina drone dry in it's gonna be over so so so so so little children dear children don't let any man deceive you don't let any false prophet don't let any false teacher deceive you the one who does what is right is righteous just as he is righteous the one who does what is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning the reason the son of god appeared was to destroy the devil's work no one who is born of god will continue to sin because god's seed remain in them they cannot go on sinning because they have been born of god and that is why we mention that it is important that born again because in order to be holy in order to live holy you must repent baptize receive the infilling of the holy ghost and they know you start working newness of life and the holy spirit will help you to work in the newness of life i'm so anyone who does not do what is right is not god's child nor is anyone who does not love their brother so god called us anytime you hate your brother man if that is unrighteousness god call us unto righteousness he calls us unto holiness and we start the journey we start the walk by being born again when we look down at first peter 1 verses 13 to 16. wherefore gird up your lines of your mind be sober support the peter tell us mr look here gird up the lines of your mind is the same thing the apostles said be transformed by the renewing of your mind i'm being not conformed to the world so peter now is here saying look here we have a gird up the lines of your mind be sober and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of jesus christ as obedient children not fashioning yourselves according to the formal loss that is according to the world but as he which i call you is holy so be only in all manner of conversation because it is written be only for i am so the person said look here girl up the line the the lines of your mind gird up the lines of your mind that is where holiness is going to start from you know it's going to start from within our mind it's going to start from a mindset that we should live holy our mind must be at that place and with the lord look here i am determined that i am going to live fully i am not saying that we can't walk over to us but walking into is different from a habit so when persons tell us look here i understand that you're a human yes and we will tell folks that when you make a mistake but when something become habitual i can't understand that your book at all i have to tell you as it is you are not desiring that thing more than who you desire god and that's just the way it is so it starts from within our mind our mindset that we must amen serve the lord and be determined to serve the lord so what is holiness we've been talking about holiness and we've been saying we've been saying amen be holy live holy what is holiness before we go any further we want us to define the dictionary defines wholeness as the state of being holy purity or integrity being of a moral character free from sin sanctity applied to a supreme being wholeness denotes perfect purity our integrity when we apply the word holiness to human beings holiness is purity of heart sanctified affections pity our moral goodness can be sacredness or that which is separated to the service of god i don't like us to work with you know this being separated to the service of god the simplest definition for holiness is to be set apart but to be set apart from what when god told israel to be holy in liberty 11 and 19 that we read he was instructing them to be distinct from the other nations by giving them specific regulations to govern their lives israel at that time was god chosen nation and god wanted them to be set apart for all other people around them to know that these are my people so they they were given standards by god that they should live by when peter repeats this in first peter 1 16 which we are i've read because it is written be only for i am holy he is talking specifically to believers in this time as believers we need to be set apart from the world unto the lord need to to be living by god's standards by god's status by god's precepts and not what the world says god is calling us to be distinct from the world we cannot be children of god amen and and being children of god have a liking for the world we cannot be children of god and love the things of the world it's just not going to work women it's just not going to work we cannot be children of god and and have a love of a strong desire for the things of the world wherefore the bible says come on from among them and be in separate see the lord and touch not the unclean things and i will receive you i am telling the church tonight that we cannot serve two masters you are going to love one and you are gonna and like oh there's a natural tendency in men to tend towards the things that evil that is why they lost it against the flesh and the flesh against the spirit if you have two months that you are going to turn towards sinning first john 2 15 to 17. so i am telling the church tonight you can't serve two masters you must separate yourself from the things of the world and that is the big one of the biggest challenge we have as a church as a proteins to holiness and the challenge is not just in particular with with our assembly no but right around the world if holiness is being preached it is it is a problem because preach it because persons not doing it and until jesus christ return for the sins holiness will have to be preached because look here remember you're not just contending with yourself but you're contending with an adversary that is tempting you to sin so love not the world neither the things that are in the world if any man love the world the love of the father is not in him here in verse 16. he tells us why we should not love the world he said that all that is in the world is what the loss of the flesh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life the pride of life can be the the lust of the eyes can be can be looked at at anything you just see your eyes see so if you look at your neighbor car and leave about have a nice car you can't say why am i like akira you know and you want one like you know just wanted to know you do everything within your power to get one like it that is lost lostin lost enough of the flesh we have a natural desire for sex we have a natural desire to eat food we have a natural desire to you know enjoy ourselves and but when it comes know to us willing to go to an extent where we sin when we are willing to go to that extent where we sin it become the loss of the flesh and then the pride of life can be defined as anything that is of the world meaning anything that leads to arrogance pride lead to boosting and that is why when you go back no amen to the book of acts when when ananias went to the apostle is the pride of life why him gets me down you know because he comply just just to more start to look bigger proud to say look here i sell my land and i give everything to the church is the same pride in life that caused ananias to go to hell so anything that produce love for the world the bible is telling us that we need to stay away from it we are in the world but not afterwards look here i have i have ambition to achieve a whole lot of things but one of the things that i keep on in the back of my mind i should probably keep it at the front i can't carry anything with me when this life is over i see them at grief the potato animal griefed up other era playing and griefed up other host ship you can't carry anything with you if jesus come to the all that we work and achieve we can't carry it we can't carry it with us and the world passes the way the scripture say i'm the lost thereof but she that do it i love this part he that do it the will of god abide it forever amen amen when we look at the temptation of eve the lust of the flesh was near the lust of the eye the pride of life amen the serpent said to her look you can't eat did god really say that you shouldn't eat and the servant look here the first example eve was tempted by the serpent to disobey god and to eat the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil eve perceived that the fruit was good for food pleasing to the eyes and desire for gaining wisdom she coveted the fruit tree the fruit in three ways first it was appealing to her appetite john refers to this as the loss of the flesh the desires for that which satisfy anyone's physical needs the fruit was also pleasing our delight into the eyes that which we see and desire to own our to possess and then even some more perceived that the fruit was would make her wise giving her wisdom beyond her own and this is part of satan's plan to deceive us as children of the lord and the world passes away the bible says and the lost thereof but he that abideth and you that do it the will of god will abide forever church do the will i am employing us tonight to do the will of god because he that do it the will of god will abide when jesus christ comes he you know the will of god he will say well done though good and faithful servant but if you don't do the will of god he will say depart from me i know you not in order for anything to be holy it must be connected to the source of holiness i want us to understand that if we desire to maintain a holy life if we desire to live holy we must be connected to the source we get connected to the source by first of all fulfilling the plan of salvation but then we are connected to the source i remain connected the source by prior and fast in some kind going not except my parents i want us to understand that if it's only when bishop called a prior if it's only when wednesday the caller prior if they don't announce it one sunday answer look your wednesday's fast and you're going fast they have to tell you that look here fast it is wednesday i want you to understand that you are a defeated christian and you're living a defeated life and if you're that is how you live your life you're just barely connected to the source jesus god himself is the source of holiness and if we want to live holy amen we have to be connected to the source amen you know sometimes when you're when you're so deeply connected to the source you're not preaching some of your conviction to people you know because this is it's me and god relationship but you know that there are some things that people do that they can't the conviction that god give i cannot do it but i'm not gonna preach the standard that god give me for you no you have to get to the place and god will tell you say look you don't do that thing do you know amen and some people are not wise enough that some folks amen will when when did you sell selling i said look here you go and get take such and such to this number and you might win you need holiness to tell you that that is gambling but some folks want everything to be spilled out and that is why you must be connected to the source the source will tell us that look here eve if it's not so simple like that but the source will tell you look here don't do that thing so nothing is only in a biblical sense until it is connected to the origin and the source of holiness which is god himself there is no holiness independent of god the holiness of a person is derived and sustained only by being in a special relationship with god i want to tell the children of god tonight amen if we are going to live holy we must maintain a relationship with the source you can't get around that you can't go around that if you're not maintaining a relationship with god you're going to find yourself going in a backward manner and the things that you you are stopped doing your final step doing them again so when you have your phone i i i on your computer and something pop up it won't be hard for you as an individual to to click that and to turn it off you know why because you're not connected to this when you're connected to the source easily that don't get your attention and this is all the adversary work and sometimes we have to just put on them things there in a man and find some time with god but we must be connected to the sword the source amen so god know choose us for himself and if god choose your for himself you must be set apart you say the bible first peter 2 verse 9 but we are a chosen generation a royal priesthood and nation a peculiar people that he should show for the praises of him who had called you out of darkness into his marvelous light amen so god no choose yourself you're a royal priesthood a what a holy nation you're not no more number you're not no more commenting you're not no more normal thing so why is it look here it's only when you're living in a senior command i know oh glory to god but no we are children of the commonwealth of israel we're not a commander anymore no we have been bought with a price we have been washed we have been sanctified by the blood of jesus christ so we're not any any any and anybody we're chosen so we must live that way if god when he called the children of israel we're back there and he said look here this is how i want you to live so that the other people are running can't know always that when we go on the road people cannot tell that we are chris based on the ear style that we have based on the things that we wear we look so much like the world look here you can calm your old time christian i don't like when i watch all the tv and see how so man i preach and i preached and then and then a t-shirt i just king you know that there was a man bishop grace and god bless him so you know i'm saying look here from your coming to church look like you're what that sticking of my heart if you're going to church look at look i know i don't care understand it why is it that we want to to to to to to to take the things that they wear in the dancehall and actually come inside a building that is dedicated to god do we know that this look here god is the same yesterday today and when they but they are dedicated a particular thing to god this presence after god command that thing and that thing no become a holy thing you know how is it that yes it's a billion but how is it that we want to come into that holy place that is dedicated to god jesus a certain way oh look i didn't even come to planet to talk about these things but look your holiness we can't i can't teach it i can't teach you it you have to know be connected to the source and have that conviction that this is all i'm going to cover in my life i don't want you to think that i sit here and i'm above you the same temptation that you have is the same probably i even have more than you but the same spirit that raised christ from the dead if the same spirit will help you to make the same decision and i am not going to tell you that i'm perfect but you must maintain a relationship with the source you are no more common a man you are a royal priesthood you are all a nation you are peculiar people and you should show for the prayers your lifestyle should be saying look here god i give you the glory pete peter said that you should walk only in all manner of conversation anywhere you're living make sure it's a holy living so to be holy you must be connected to the source and you must be separated unto god that which is holy is separated unto god as his position when god brought his redeemed people to mount sinai god said unto them you shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people a holy nation that is found in exodus 19 5 and 6. the relationship the nation of israel had with god as a result of their deliverance from egypt made them a holy nation as an integral part of holiness god claims ownership of what he sanctifies as a special treasure so know that god save us and deliver us from a spiritual egypt god claimed ownership for us amen and while he claimed ownership for us he sanctifies us as a special treasure he sets us apart which is holy for himself when a person gets safe he's connected to the source of holiness god himself and god separate that person unto himself thereby claiming him as his own property first corinthians 6 19 and 20. god claim you when god save you god claim you as his own what no he not that your body is the temple of the holy ghost this body that we're talking about this that we dwell in because the spirit is the real man this that we dwell in amen is the temple of the holy ghost which is in you which he have of god and he are not here the bible say you are not your own god has the right to do what he wants in your you because you are his property so it can't be about you anymore it must be about what god wants this means that he has the right to tell us how to live he has the right to tell us what to wear he has the right to tell us where to go he has the right to tell us who to marry to he has the right to tell us where to go to school he has the right to tell us not to go to a dance or our party god has the right because he has purchased you with a price hallelujah hallelujah amen god has said right god has purchased you and he has the right to tell you what you should do and what you should not do amen and when it comes to holiness and that is why it's important you have the holy spirit it's important to be connected to me only i must obey god's word leviticus 20 verses 7 to 8 it teaches us that there is an inseparable relationship between holiness and obedience in scripture god said sanctify yourselves therefore and be holy for i the lord i am holy and you shall keep my what status and perform them i am the lord there is an inseparable relationship between holiness and obedience to scripture again in leviticus 23 22 sorry verses 31 to 32 we read you shall keep my commandments and do them i am the lord never shall you profane my holy name but i will be hollowed among the children of israel i am the lord which hollowed you in the very same breath that god commanded us to be holy he commanded us to obey his word therefore holiness is displayed by being obedient to god's word a holy person is one who lives the scripture is obedient to what the scripture says you cannot knowing knowingly be violating the word of god and say that you are holy it is a contradiction peter's statement in rome is similar to that of paul and being not conformed to the world we said it earlier on but be transformed by the renewing of your mind both peter and paul warn against worldliness willingness may be defined as any attitude action or behavior that does not conform to god's word and both apostles they emphasize they made emphasis on it that look here we're supposed to be separate and apart from the world that which god choose him choose and i'm saying look here it may choose you you must be different you must be sepa set apart you must be peculiar so why is it important for you to live only one because the commandment of god god command himself look you're be holy and because i the lord your god is holy and there is no question about that amen there is not a greater being than god and if god holiness is what is required holiness is what god require and there is no two way about it so why should they be holy because god require it first peter again be holy for i am holding it is a command it is a requirement if you don't obey the commandment you transgress the law of god you transgress what god requires you will be going against his status it is a command of god why should we be holy look here if you don't live holy go to heaven david said who shall i send into the heel of the lord or who shall stand in his holy place him say he that other clean hands and a pure heart who are not lifted up his soul unto vanity nor sown defeat deceit fully david asks a basic question about approaching god and he ponders who can climb the hill of the lord to worship in the tabernacle and who can enter the lord's present but he also gave the answer him say he that had a clean and hands and pure heart were not lifted up his swole unto vanity nor sworn deceitfully in a similar way we will not get to that place if we don't live a holy life we cannot get to his holy hill that place that he dwells we will not be there at the marriage supper amen if we don't live holy we not go in there and then he was four he was twelve sorry fourteen it says follow peace with all men and holiness with which no man shall see the lord follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see the lord and this is a fit in scripture to end with follow peace with all men there will be time when when it just it just can't be peaceful but you have to try to follow peace you have to try to make peace be there because any time you start operator anger yeah why swear and you can't believe that after after after 10 years of serving god you can still swear we're going to find yourself swearing and we taught holiness say follow peace and holiness and we thought that you cannot say god i don't want it it don't make sense we start serving god so long and no at this stage we're doing some things that that god not pleased with and and and this is what the apostles when you look at the different churches they must talk about brotherly love they must talk about this they must talk about holiness and this just form a part of the doctrine so we said that the things that they spoke about was belief mostly they talk about repentance water baptism infilling in the holy ghost and living a holy life that was the five basic things that the apostles talk about they talk about that mostly right they talk about other things because they talk about the one god amen they talk about bradley love and they talk about what everything come together about the five psa thing that they spoke about was repentance belief repentance water baptism infilling of the holy spirit and holiness amen next week when we come back god's willing we will now get into the different doctrines amen and we will look at what this doctrine says we have been been saying and looking at what some of the doctrines around or some i remember our doctrine is basically teaching we have been looking at what some of these doctrines some of these teachings have been saying to us amen and and when we come next week we want to know get into the doctrines and look at the doctrine look at what they are saying and and is able know to say from what we went through through the apostles doctrine that look here we identified we know it we know the planet but the adversary are we not boring we're not moving we're going to stand up for that which god has called us to god bless you tonight in the name of the lord just bow your heads while i pray lord we come to you one more time and we thank you god for that which was mentioned we thank you god for all those who tuned in and we pray god that you will continue to bless your people continue to instruct them continue to guide them mighty god we are living in the last are closing there some serious time god and some serious things are happening god there are some doctrines out there almighty god that is just unbelievable but we know almighty god that the devil is trying everything to deceive men amen trying to deceive even those who you have called to serve you but we pray god that you will be like around us be like edge around our minds and help us to stand for that which you have called us to we pray god that you will continue to bless us as we go through this we continue to keep us continue to rest your unchanging hands upon us lord we
