Scripture verse
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
Hebrews 12:14 NIV
Our God is all powerful. If we desire to see His power in our lives we must be holy. Holiness is one of the greatest attributes of God and a holy God can only connect with a holy people. God yearns for a relationship with his people.This relationship can only be established if we share in His attribute of holiness.
The truth is that God wants to demonstrate His power. Scripture says “ ...the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him ”( 2 Chronicles 16:9 KJV). Why is He looking? Why would God be searching when there are millions of human beings on the earth? He is looking because that particular kind of human being is scarce to find. There are millions of human beings, but, not all are fit for God's divine standards.
God can locate you only if you stand out, and are in the right place. God wants a man, so get within coverage area. Lack of holiness masks our visibility for God's power to work in us.
Because we have failed to meet God's standards, we have settled for less, thinking that's all but there's more. Where we are is not where we ought to be. It is not where He wants us to be. We may seem to be doing things right but there is a higher dimension. Yes, we may be intercessors,preachers, worshippers and so on,but God is not looking for just any intercessor, preacher or worshipper He needs. He is looking for a holy man!. Show me a holy man and I will show you where God's divine power rests.
Too many times, we are too easily happy and content when we seem to be seeing aspects of the supernatural. But we must be like Moses who declined being led by a mighty angel; if that meant the absence of the very presence of God. There is nothing like His presence. His presence dwells in the atmosphere of holiness.
God’s real glory and power that He wants to show is not what we think we are seeing.There is more. He is still seeking and searching for a man.
Until you are holy enough, God does not step into your space. Where Holiness goes, God's presence flows. Anyone who wants to go deeper with God and see His ways, and not His acts only, must crave holiness, It is the way to go.
Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank You for Your word. I pray for grace to be holy and be a carrier of His presence.In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
