Then I heard an angelic chorus singing, “Holy Holy Holy!”

Pictures of His Holiness:

Isaiah 6:1-7

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;

The whole earth is full of His glory!”

And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

So, I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said:

“Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.”

Revelation 4:8-11

The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:

“Holy, holy, holy,

Lord God Almighty,

Who was and is and is to come!”

Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:

“You are worthy, O Lord,

To receive glory and honor and power;

For You created all things,

And by Your will they exist and were created.”

Psalm 96:6 (ESV)

Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth!

Be Holy:

Leviticus 11:44a For I am the LORD your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy.

Leviticus 19:2 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.’”

Leviticus 20:26 And you shall be holy to Me, for I the LORD am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.

1 Peter 1:15 … but as He who called you is holy; you also be holy…

It is awe inspiring that our Holy Almighty God would call His Bride to be holy, as He is holy. It is inconceivable that we could have the capacity to be holy, as He is holy. But God!

I heard the Lord say:

Yes! Through My shed blood that cleanses and purifies, and through My Spirit who abides within you, transforming and making you more and more like Me…you do have the capacity to be holy as I am holy. I would never call you to something that I have not equipped and enabled you to step into.

To be that holy, sacred, set apart, perfected people that I can release over the earth to usher in My glory, My power, My heart, and My plans, you must pursue, chase after, aggressively seek … Holiness.

For My Bride to be a heavenly instrument/vessel in My hands to deliver My pure answers and strategies that will demolish the darkness of this age, you must be positioned to SEE Me. In truly seeing Me, you will know Me; you will perceive My heart and My ways. In seeing Me, you will desire nothing above complete alignment with Me; tapping into My power, My plans, and My purposes. From that position, you will see with a holy, purified vision what I have placed before you…your assignments… including the heavenly path and resources needed to complete each task successfully. But you must SEE Me!

Holiness is the key to seeing Me. To see Me requires that you pursue holiness. In faith and surrender, holiness is within your reach; because I always provide the way of success. While this holiness is completely unreachable through your flesh, it can be fully realized when you partner with My Spirit. My standards and requirements are extremely high; unattainable without the power of My Spirit at work within you to bring it forth.

My standard: I have called you to be holy, as I am holy. As you humbly pursue holiness, you will SEE Me. And as you see Me, you will look more and more like Me…becoming holy, as I am holy.

I am coming for My Holy Bride. I am calling forth My Holy Bride to be My World Changers, who willingly step into My seemingly impossible assignments in these times; to be My vessels who transform the earth, making it look like heaven. The assignments I am calling you to are “God-sized” kingdom exploits that will result in the reclaiming and restoring of everything that the enemy has stolen and contaminated on My earth.

The honor and privilege of participating with Me in these inexplicable feats of Glory and Transformation and Victory will only come to those who have chosen to pursue holiness. And through this holiness, you will see Me. And this will lead to the release of heavenly mantles; mantles of commissioned officers, assigned and elevated to positions and ranks of greater authority and power to serve and lead in the Holy World War…the War of the Era between Light and Darkness.

Be holy as I am holy. And in your pursuit of holiness, you will see Me. In seeing Me, you will be raised to new levels of authority and leadership in this War of the Era!

Holiness is the Key!
