What holiness really is

And why saints love it so much

Hi beloved of GOD.

As you power through your week, why not halt a few seconds for a pitstop refuel?

Then by the grace of GOD, we can pray the rest of your week may be tip top.

So to my point.

One dusty autumn morning back in Bible College days our tufty Professor asked…

“What is holiness?”

So I piped up,

“Holiness is beauty.”

Truth is though…

I’d never heard holiness described that way before. 

Thank you dear Holy Spirit. You said it and so there we have it.

Holiness is… BEAUTY.

And believing our Bibles as we disciples do, all is instantly clear…

By coming into Fathers presence in worship…

We become beautiful.

“Honour and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary…

Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! 

Tremble before Him, all the earth.”

Psalm 96:6,9. NKJV.

Which also reveals,

Everything is beautiful in the kingdom of GOD.

Yet who is the most beautiful of all of that kingdom?

Jesus?

Not so fast disciple :)

Before you answer, 

Consider this.

At any wedding who is the most beautiful of all?

Who are everyones eyes fixed upon?

The Bride.

Why?

Because she’s kept herself pure for the one she loves.

Reflect on that precious one, 

For you too must get ready for your wedding day comes quickly now.*

So in that vein,

Give the following a try tomorrow (if you like).

Get up early doors…

Wash your face in worship.

Bathe yourself in the morning dew of prayer. 

Splash the water of the Word over your eyes…

And there,

Hidden away with your Father in Heaven, along with His glorious Son…

Praise the beauty of Holiness.*

Sing the songs of Zion.

Also.

As you finish…

Check what you look like before you leave your house for the day.

Pick up the mirror of GOD’s Holy Word and gaze into it.

This Mirror of His holy ones.

Those ones He chose before the foundation of the world. (Ephesians 1:4).

His special ones who only get more and more beautiful the more they read His reflections in it.

How so?

Because the Mirror they look at is actually a Spirit too*…

16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 

18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 NKJV

Did you notice something in verse sixteen?

“The veil is taken away”

Yup.

And for one reason overcomer…

So your hidden beauty can be revealed as your veil is removed saint.

Complete. Content. Clean.

At rest.

And it all happens when you’re before the LORD, worshipping.

Gazing up at His beauty.

Moses face shone.

He saw ‘The Beauty’. Then he himself couldn’t help but shine.

So too with you.

Anyhow,

These words will shortly come to pass for five wise virgins…

Jesus is coming back for the most beautiful Bride anyone has ever seen in any wedding ever since the dawn of creation…

He’s coming back for you.

Which is why saints love holiness so much, because holiness is beauty.

And holiness is the beauty of Jesus revealed in you.

Bless you saint.

Dave.

PS If you’ve never read ‘Visions Beyond The Veil’ overcomer your mirror will shine back at you even brighter after you do.

It costs nothing.

Do yourself a favour this pitstop…

Get it and read it

“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 

And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” 

And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”

Revelation 19:7-9 NKJV

*Worshipping in the beauty of holiness is your power in battle too…

So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said,

“Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem:

Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.”

And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:

“Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever.”

Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.”

2 Chronicles 20:20-22 NKJV.
