Holy life is very important to receive anything from God. How can we expect healing when we are leading a life with evil habits? Jesus Christ isa Holy one. The same holiness He expects in our lives. Somebody will callus to pray for their loss in business, but the things in the shop, can make the people to do sin. If it is so God can not bless the business. Moreover curse will be there rather than blessing.
These six things the Lord hates, yes seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lyiing tongue, Hands that sheds innocent blood, A heart that devices wicked plans, A false witness who speaks lies, and One who sows discard among brother - Proverb 6:16-19.
The above things not only make us unholy but also make God to detest us. If God detests us how can we get blessings from Him. We should ask grace so that our human nature may not emege. We pray and read the Bible but is there holiness in our life?
HOLINESS: Since He is Holy, He has called us to be holy. He only can give the holiness. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peacable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy - James 3:17. God given holiness comes from the heaven. It does not belong to earth. We are confused for onething for many times. Do we have the heavenly wisdom? Ask our Lord, He will give you the peace and calm in all your situations.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control - Galatians 5:22,23. Our life is to reflect these things. We should have no partiality nor hypocrisy. These are given by the God who has called us for holiness.
Avoid yourselves from unholiness and be with the holiness that is given from the heaven. When we are holy, each and everyday we receive blessings. Avoid the things God detests, and receive the holiness that God gives.
May God do miracles in your life. Amen.
