Holiness

John 14:21 Anyone who has my commands and obeys them loves Me. My Father will love the one who loves Me. I too will love them. And I will show Myself to them.

There’s a dimension of living you can only experience when you make a decision to please God in every area of your life. In that dimension, Jesus becomes real to you and manifests Himself to you.

Just after the turn of the century, God poured out His Spirit and started a revival on Azusa Street. It was an awesome time, a time when people’s entire lives were turned inside out. Everything else in their world seemed to lose importance. Supernatural things were happening. God was manifesting Himself in their presence.

The people involved in that revival soon began to be known to the world as “holiness” people. They got that title because they were so obviously different from everyone else. They’d let go of anything they thought didn’t please God. They were so caught up in the power of the spiritual realm; they lost interest in natural things.

Holiness simply means separated to God. It’s what you do with your life day by day. It’s ordering your conduct according to the Word of God.

Holiness is the habit of being one mind with God, of turning away from the ways of the world and living instead in agreement with Him. Holiness doesn’t happen to anyone by accident. It requires a decision of the will.
