Good morning people who are called to holiness

I feel a need to call the Church, the Body of Christ, God’s Ambassadors, back to living holy and righteous lives. There is too much complacency. There is too much likeness to the world. There is too much compromise. And there are too many excuses for it.

I know I run the risk of being labelled religious or legalistic. I am not. I am being Biblical. I am pointing us back to God’s intention. This is not my teaching but the teaching of Christ.

Church, we are called to be different; we are called to be holy; that is set apart to the Lord.

Some of us think the teachings of Jesus are too difficult. If we really knew them, we would know that they are even more difficult than we think. In fact, without the daily, moment by moment empowering of the Holy Spirit, without His wisdom and direction, without His ability flowing in us and through us, it is impossible to live lives worthy of our God-authored calling. BUT the fullness of God and the power of the Holy Spirit are available to all of us, every day, for every situation!

It’s time to come back to living Christian lives! It’s time to come back to living life God’s way, not our way! It’s time to live by the higher standard of Jesus’ teaching and life example and not to settle for less! It’s time for the Church of Jesus Christ to prepare itself as a bride would; we are the Bride of Christ!

There is no place for compromise in the life of a Believer. There is no place for closed doors to the Holy Spirit. There is no place for mediocrity or spiritual laziness. There is no place for excuses; enough is enough.

And the reason for this is because we belong to God, we are called to represent God as He is, we are called to live lives worthy. The salvation of the world awaits the Bride shining as it is intended to do…that’s you and me, in our environments, living life as God says and doing it all by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 16:24-25 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me will find it.
