STUDY SCRIPTURE: Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
–2 Corinthians 7:1(NKJV)–
We are in a generation where people overlooked the place of holiness. In the school of breakthrough, the study of holiness is a must. In your quest for signs and wonders, the place of holiness cannot be overemphasized. There is a place God wants to take us to in our life, ministry, business, career, profession, family, but God wants us to be cleaned up before He takes us there. As a church He wants us to clean up, He wants the people to clean up. This cleaning up comes in the place of holiness. Holiness is a spirit that drives us to be clean and holy and to do good even when we don’t want to. No witch or evil being can stop a holy man. Our holiness extends to how we relate people and with God as well. For God did not call us to uncleanliness, but in holiness (I Thessalonians 4:7). Your future and destiny lies in your cleanliness. If you practice holiness as it is meant to be, you will experience breakthrough in all areas of your life.
WHAT ARE THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT OF HOLINESS?
The spirit of holiness gives us cheap access to our possession (Obadiah 1:17).
When you subscribe to the breakthrough spirit of holiness, it gives us supernatural access to wisdom. You cannot access supernatural wisdom without begin a person of holiness and the fear of the Lord (Proverb 4:7).
