Where have we been so far? • Our Creator, wirerer, and giver of creational gifts? • El Elohym • Is the Most Highest of all • El Elyon • Who do we declare our Master? • Adonai • Who could already sees our need • El Roi • Who is all powerful, more than sufficient, and nurtures us through every challenge? • El Shaddai
Who has already helped you in countless ways? • Jehovah Ezer • Who is able to provide all our needs? • Jehovah Jirah • Who heals us from the inside out? • Jehovah Rapha • Who is my shepherd, who has taken personal responsibility for all I need • Jehovah Rohi • Who is the Lord over all hosts • Jehovah Sabaoth
Sanctified • Do you picture someone who is stuffy, doesn’t have any fun, and is less fun than a starched shirt? • He sets apart - Lev 11:45 and 1 Pet 2:9 • He makes us Holy – Matt 5:48 • He separates us from the profane • It does not come by our strength, our “doing”, but by His (Hebrews 10:10-14)
So what is Holy? • Being Holy is being used in the way God intended you to be used • When we depend on the indwelling of the Holy Spirit for that moment, that decision, that act, then we are living Holy • If the amount in which you do that is increasing, you are maturing, being perfected (2 Pet 1:2-4)
So why would anyone want to be Holy? • We were designed to seek it (wholeness is only found through Holiness) • Sin is always destructive • Your purpose will not be revealed unless you are being used the way you were intended • Visual aid • God does not want you to be infected by sin • It is a gift, not a burden
So we’ve been invited into the Most Holy Place.You cannot enter unless you are sanctified and Holy.So how can we enter?By receiving Christ as Savior and by increasingly depending on the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
