SANCTIFY – LESSON 1
We are going to delve into a very important subject in this series. We will study the origins and meanings of the words sanctify, sanctified, and sanctification. We will first begin with the English dictionary definitions.
Sanctify: to make holy; to make legitimate or binding by a religious sanction; to set apart as sacred; to observe as holy; to consecrate; to make free from sin; to make right.
Sanctified: made holy; set apart for sacred service.
Sanctification: the act of sanctifying, or state of being sanctified; consecration; purification from sin.
The word sanctify is first used in Genesis 2:3 where it says, “God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it.” This means He “set apart as sacred” the day He rested from the creation. He made the day holy, and to be consecrated to Him.
The Hebrew word sanctify and sanctified is “qdsh” and is written with added vowels as “qadesh” or “qadash.” This word is used through the Old Testament from the Pentateuch, (first five books) through the prophets. Strangely, it is not used in Psalms or Proverbs.
In the Greek of the New Testament, it comes from the root word family of “hagi” with six variations, one of which applies to all born-again believers called “saints,” those who have been sanctified in Christ, “hagios.”
Tomorrow we will look at its various applications in the O.T. before moving later into the N.T. Hopefully then we will all have a better understanding of how it applies to you and me today.

THE WINNING TEAM
As a young girl that had two older brothers, I was very competitive in sports. I played hardball along with the “boys,” and I could run as fast as any of them. I could throw a ball just as far as any boy did. At school I loved to play marbles and one boy that had some “beauties” was also my opponent. I had a sack of marbles like no one else. I wanted to be on the “winning team.”
This competitive spirit carried over in many areas until I realized that I did not have to always be the winner. When I had children and we played some table games, I often would let them win just to make them feel good. They probably didn’t know that, but I wanted them to enjoy the pleasure of “winning.”
Winning is good if you are on the right team. It isn’t about the person that has the “most marbles” or the most “blue ribbons.” It is the person that makes the choice to run the race for the Lord and endure to the finish line.
Paul, being a Roman citizen understood about sports, and often used analogies to teach his converts to Christianity. He told them to “press in.” This means that you give it your all, until you cross the finish line. Then you receive the reward for being faithful from Jesus.
We are in a race with a real opponent my friends. That opponent does not play fair. He will try to trip you up and make you “fall.” He doesn’t want you to win. At the same time, the Lord is on your side, praying for you to make it all the way. He told Peter that Satan wanted to sift him but that he was praying for him. He prays for us too.
Winning is good if you are on the right team.

PROPHETIC WORD
AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS
For I would say unto you that this is a day of new beginnings. For old things have passed away, and I make all things new. Today, I would say to examine those things that you would call important and come to me with them for I will show you what is important. I will give you the desires of your heart as you come to me and fine tune those things in your life that need adjusting. Your ears have not been as keen as they should be my child for you have been looking at the things around you when you should be focusing on the things within you. Within you is my Spirit that will guide you and lead you in this new season that you are approaching. Yes, there have been many changes already, but I am about to bring more changes. More changes in the things without and the things within. This is the hour for you to totally surrender every area of your life. Your thoughts, your dreams, your hopes, and your goals. Come aside and I will share with you what is best for you, and you will build new things in a new way. I will open doors that I see fit, and I will be shutting doors that are not to be gone through as you surrender your will to me saith the Lord. This is not the time to ride the fence, for those that do will surely fall and may never rise again. This is the day to sell out completely one way or another for there is no middle road. You are either all for me, or you are against me. There can be no middle of the road anymore. I have given grace, but this is about to change. You cannot serve two masters. You must make the choice. For this is the hour of new things. I will cause my remnant to hear and do things that they have never thought were imaginable. Mighty miracles shall flow through those that are sold out. There will be a move in those lives that are totally surrendered that will hear my voice when I say this is the way, walk ye in it, and they will heed that call. So, determine to go all the way with me. Come often into the secret place and refresh yourself as you sit at my feet. The time to be a Martha is over. For only those that have the spirit of her sister Mary will be able to endure in what is coming soon. There will be many things that will bring chaos all over the world, and only those that are secure in me will be able to withstand the outside pressures. Yes, there are many hard days coming. There will be more and more darkness, but your light, which is my light in you will shine in that darkness if you follow my leading. You will go forth and do great exploits. Do not think that the little things I have asked you to do are invaluable, for they show your obedience. Once you have done those little things then you will be advanced. You must build brick upon brick, or the wall will crumble, and so it is with the things of my kingdom. There must be a building of a sure foundation. You have started your journey and will be led by my Spirit. Just watch, and pray, and listen to my leading and you shall see those things that I have just mentioned come to pass in your life. Remember, that this is the season of great deception, so test the spirits and see if they are of me, for there will be many false prophetic words coming forth. Only those that hear the Shepherd’s voice will be led safely my child. So, watch, and listen, and come into that place where we can come together, and you will go forth stronger than ever saith the Lord.
