Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom-----
The hour is late. The LORD is returning soon as our Bridegroom. We have to be ready as His Bride.(Matthew 25:1-13; Ephesians 5:25-27).
Repentance is the key to enter His Kingdom (Matthew 4:17, Mark 1:15), and then His gift of repentance is the healthy, freedom-creating, ultimately joyful process to start to be more holy as He is Holy (Revelation 3: 19-22, Hebrews 10:19-22; 1 Peter 1:15). That change in your conduct towards more Godly character is the best WAY to "preach" to others, to bring them in as new disciples into His Kingdom. (Matthew 3:8; Luke 24:47).
Sanctification is ESSENTIAL. No more playing man's religions; no more playing lukewarm "church." Perhaps it would be helpful to attempt to show the layers of SANCTIFICATION needed:
Positional Sanctification.
Thanks to the LOVE of the Abba Father and by the perfect covering of Jesus/ Yeshua's Blood, every human is now capable of choosing the Messiah, the Christ and by that choice is sanctified before Almighty God: Here is Jesus in John 17: 13-19 amplified:
"But now I am coming to You; and I say these things[while I am still] in the world so that they may experience My joy made full and complete and perfect within them[filling their hearts with My delight]. I have given to them Your word [the message You gave Me]; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world and do not belong to the world, just as I am not of the world and do not belong to it. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but that You keep them and protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth [set them apart for Your purposes, make them holy]; Your word is truth. Just as You commissioned and sent Me into the world, I also have commissioned and sent them (believers) into the world. For their sake I sanctify Myself [to do Your will], so that they also may be sanctified [set apart, dedicated, made holy] in [Your] truth."
Practical Sanctification.
Repentance ---turning to God, changing your thinking and your heart, turning to Him, is then His Gift by which the Teacher, the indwelling Holy Spirit, lovingly convicts us to remove old sin patterns and choose His Word as our path to His holiness. We then grow in righteous living ( 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 1 Peter 1:15,16; 1 John 3:1-3). We can each then also find out His choice for our lives to advance His Kingdom. Jesus says in John 15:16,17 to those His first disciples, and to each of us now in His Kingdom with His Holy Spirit: " You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask My Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you that you love one another."
Ultimate Sanctification.
The Risen Christ, the Bridegroom, sanctifies you (Ephesians 5:26,27). You are present at the Marriage Feast of the Lamb. (Revelation 19:7-9). Together with the Holy Spirit, as a member of the Bride, (Revelation 21:9,10) you join Him in calling all who are still outside the Kingdom to come to take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17).
PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD !!!!!!!
