THE HABIT OF HOLINESS : He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. – John 14:21 Theres a dimension of living you can only experience when you make a decision to please the Father in every activity 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 peoples 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 would let go of anything they thought didnt please God. They were so caught up in the power of the spiritual realm, they lost interest in natural things. Few believers today even know what holiness means. Even fewer understand the outpouring of God that comes to those who dare to step into it. Holiness simply means separated to God. Its what you do with your life day by day. Its ordering your conduct according to the Word of God and the prompting of the Spirit. 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 doesnt happen to anyone by accident. It requires a decision of the will. Make that decision today. Love God with all your heart by keeping His commandments. Hell show His love to you by manifesting Himself to you in powerful new ways. Hell pour Himself out on you just like He did on those believers at Azusa Street and revival will truly begin in you.
