​The Church Lost its Holiness

God said I am Holy so ye be holy. God cannot change his status. Even though Jesus came to this world he did not sin. Because God cannot change His position and status. God is a holy God.

God set apart a people for himself in the old testament. And God asked them to be holy. In order for Him to live among them, they need to become holy. That is God's standard and He cannot change.  

In this New Testament time, God wants his Church to be Holy.  If God wants to live in the Church, the Church needs to be a place where he can dwell without compromising His standards. Kathryn Kuhlman repeatedly said that do not grieve the Holy Spirit.  

Holiness is something that we need to treasure and keep in our hearts. It is the most important requirement of God. God will not compromise with Holiness. So do not think that you can do whatever you want to do and get what you want from God. You need to be holy. When God gave commandments to Moses, There were a lot of commandments that were designed to keep the people and the tent of meeting holy. Priests are also required to keep themselves from unholy things as well as asked to not leave the tent of meeting without any valid reason. We have the record of many people who died because they come near the holy things without ceremoniously purifying themselves.

When God came down to Mount Sinai, God gave clear instructions not to touch the bottom of the mountain. They were asked to keep a specific distance from the mountain. Not an animal cannot come near God.  

Moses went up the mountain. Even Moses had to wait 7 days at the top of the mountain to purify himself before he listened to God.

If coming near to God takes so much holiness, how much more we need to be holy to listen from God. We take our life for granted and want to listen to God as soon as we finish our prayer. We do not have the patience to wait. Moses waited patiently for 40 days on the top of the mountain.  

There is a price to pay. Our God is not an ordinary God. He is the creator of this universe. He can do miracles and wonders. Just speaking a word can change your life.  

We need people who are willing to wait for God for 40 days or more. We need committed and devoted people. I am giving my life to God. I want to devote my life to God. I want to become a history maker. I want to keep the standard of God in the area of Holiness.
