Holiness

Dear One,

Taking time to be holy is not just the theme of a song. It is good spiritual instruction.
Keep in mind that holiness does not make you more acceptable to Me. You have always been acceptable to Me. I see the real you, your spirit, and I love you unconditionally.
Holiness is a religious term which is thought of by religious people as being blemish free, without sin or trespasses or iniquity.
To Me, your goal of holiness means that you have defeated the spirits of despair, depresson, perversion, gall, lust, pride, judgment, division, defeat, conflict and all the ones who so easily beset you, so that you can live a peaceful life.
Holiness means that you hear My voice and you accept My wisdom. Holiness means that you seek me with your whole heart. Holiness means that you display the fruits of love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, mercy and patience.
Holiness means that you utilize My gifts to meet your needs and the needs of others.
Holiness means that you live in the knowledge that your battle is not with flesh and blood but it is with principalities and powers of the air.
Holiness has nothing to do with outward things. Holiness has everyting to do with mental and spiritual things. Holiness means that you know Me and are becoming more and more like Me.

Love, God
