I demand purity from those who would walk closely with Me. I am a holy
God. Many of My people mistakenly think sin does not matter to Me. It matters
very much.
It matters to you too, My people, for you shall not flow in My mighty
power as you could if you do not leave your sin behind. I do not give My power
lightly, for it is not a small thing at all.
Why are you so reluctant to lay aside your sins, pick up your crosses
and follow Me, My children? Is My way too hard for you?
Yet you beg Me for rewards and blessings.
Come and follow Me!
Matthew 16:24: Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross, and follow me.
Luke 9:23: And he said to them all, If any man
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and
follow me.
Luke 14:27: And whosoever doth not bear his
cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
1 Peter 1:15-17: But as he which hath called you
is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am
holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth
according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
1 Timothy 6:6: But godliness with contentment is
great gain.
NOTE: Two
things should be noted when reading this word. 1. God never commands us to do
anything He does not also give us the power to do; and 2. Though we cannot earn
God's blessings, there are many blessings He cannot bestow on us while there is
known sin in our lives, because the enemy could use those to harm us.
