1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[a] 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,[b] being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Amen !! Hallelujah !!

PURITY AND HOLINESS FOR THE DELIVERED: OBADIAH.VS17; God delights in holiness and purity of life of His children. His desire and command to all His children is that they should be holy as He is holy. 1Peter.1:14-16; Lev.19:1-2; Lev.20:7-8, 26. That is why in giving this promise of deliverance He put holiness at the centre. It is the pivotal point that holds everything. Real deliverance will naturally leads to holiness; any form of deliverance that does not lead to holiness is not of God. Luk.1:73-75. Rom.6:18, 22; 1Thess.4:7-10; 2Cor.7:1. All the promises of God and all the miracles that He performs in answer to prayer are meant to lead us to a life of holiness. 2Peter.1:3-4; Heb.12:14. Without holiness it is impossible for any man to neither get to heaven nor see God. PROVISSIONS FOR OUR HOLINESS AND PURITY: Eph.5:25-17; Titus.2:11-14; Ezekiel.36:25-27; Heb.10:10, 12, 14, 19-22; Hebrews.13:12-13, 20-21; Acts.3:26; Acts.15:9; Ezekiel.36:25-27; Dt.30:6. Because God delights and very much interested in our being holy and pure He has made all necessary provisions for our purity and holiness, Christ has paid the price on the cross of Calvary for our sanctification and holiness. Christ did not only pay the price but also prayed unto father to sanctify us His disciples. John.17:9, 14-23. As a child of God who desire to be in heaven at last this is one indispensable quality that you must possess: HOLINESS OF LIFE. POSSESSING PURITY AND HOLINESS: Math.5:6, 8; Acts.15:9; Ps.51:7-12; 1Thess.2:10; Gen.6:8-9, 22; Gen.7:1, 5; Job.1:1; Isaiah.38:2-5; Ezekiel.14:14, 20; Luk.1:5-7; Gen.39:1-12. From these passages and the experience of men and women in the bible it tells us clearly that purity and holiness of life is very possible. No matter where you live Egypt or Babylon you can be holy. Whether in a corrupt society and civilized society holiness of life can be lived there, nobody has any excuse not to be holy. The question is how do we possess this purity and holiness in our lives? (1) Genuine salvation (2) Total separation (3) Thirst and hunger for it (4) Entire consecration (5) Prayer of faith. 1Thess.5:22-25; Rom.12:1-2. If you not got this experience the time is now, if you have lost it then come back and get it restored. And you are still holding on to get it renewed. PROFITS AND BENEFITS OF PURITY AND HOLINESS: Math.5:8; Job.17:9; Ps.34:15, 17-21; Ps.92:12-14; Heb.12:14; Isaiah.3:10-11; Prov.14:34; Prov.13:6, 21, 25; Prov.3:33; There are great and marvelous benefits in holiness. (1) You will have favour with God (2) Power in prayer (3) Partnership with Trinity (4) The presence of Christ continually. (5) Peace with God and the peace of God in your heart (6) Protection and power over the devil. (7) Paradise. There are many more which time will not permit us to enumerate but it better experienced than knowing it in the head. HOLINESS WITHOUT WHICH NO MAN SHALL SEE THE LORD: BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART FOR THEY SHALL SEE THE LORD.

 1Kings.18:21. The Lord wants you to declare your stand this day whether you are for God or for Satan. Elijah came to all the people and challenged them to declare where they stand for God or for Baal. A lot of people today are halting between two opinions not totally for God and not totally for the world. 2Kings.17:9-12, 33, 41. The children of Israel had backsliding and were secretly doing those which God forbids and yet still go to synagogues every Sabbath day. A lot of people in church today are just like them; they go church Sunday morning and are in beer parlor Sunday evening. They go to church on Sunday and in herbalist house whenever there is a little problem. They halt between two opinions. Hosea.10:1-2. They bring fruits unto themselves and their heart is divided therefore they are found faulty. Mt.6:24. No man can serve two masters the Lord declares that is why you need to declare where you stand today. Exodus.32:26. Are you on the Lord’s side or do you want to be on the side of sin and Satan? Joshua.24:14-15. Chose you this day who you will serve? The Lord is also calling us to separation from the world as He wanted the children of Israel to be separate from the Nations around them. 2Cor.6:17-18. Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. We are to separate from the practices of the world, their profanity, politics, pollutions, their principles and their policies. We are not to drink their alcohols. Dress the way they dress, the worldly people dress to entice men and corrupt the mind of men and women. We are not to carry out our business the way they carry out their own business. Their briberies and the dishonesty must not be our practices. 1John.2:15-17. Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world the love of the father is not in him. For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life they are not of the father but of the world and the world passeth away and the lusts thereof but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. 1Kings.18:21-29.The Lord is calling us to true and pure worship. He wants us to abandon false and satanic worship which will lead to disappointment and judgment in life now and in hellfire at the end of life on earth. False worship makes one to have a form of godliness but lacks the power for godliness. 2Timothy.3:5. Mt.7:21-23. False worship gives people false hope. 2Cor.11:13-15. False worship and religion makes to forsake the true God and the path of righteousness. 1Kings.18:30-40. Pure and true worship makes God to be very near and to answer our prayer whenever we call unto Him. John.4:23-24. Ps.29:2; Ps.95:6; Ps.96:9. The characteristics of true and pure worship can be seen in the word worship. W-waiting on the Lord, O-Obeying the Lord there is no true worship without obedient. R-reading the word of God, when we come to worship the Lord time must be spent to read and interpret the word of God. S-seeking the Lord when we come to worship the Lord we come to seek His grace and power. H-hear the word of God and honour the Lord, when we come to worship we come to hear God speak to us and we honour the Lord by the way we live in obedient to His word. I-intercede intercession is part of true worship. P-possessing the Divine nature, we came to possess the nature of God. 2Peter.1:3-4. In true and pure worship the word of God takes the central stage. We are called to uphold the unchanging word of God. The word of God is unchanging as God is unchanging. Man and women may change, denominations may change but God is unchanging and His word and His standard are unchanging. 2Timothy.4:1-5.

GOD DEMAND FOR HOLINESS FROM ALL HIS CHILDREN: Lev.19:1-2. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy. 1Thess.4:7. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness but unto holiness. 1Peter.1:15-16. But as He who hath called us is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. Because it is written be ye holy for I am holy. The God that we serve is a holy God and He demands holiness in His family the church of the living God. Without holiness the bible says no man shall see the Lord. To see God here on earth and hereafter in heaven we must be holy. The Lord never demands what His grace has not provided for. Whatever God demands from us he has provide for it through His grace and the death of Christ on the Cross of Calvary. It is not your effort that makes you holy, not your work but the grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Once we come to God by faith on the finished work of Christ on the cross of Calvary we will be made holy. Hebrews.12:10 –that we might be partakers of his holiness. God wants us to be partakers of his holiness. Ro.6:18, 22. Being made free from sin and become the servants of to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness and the end everlasting life. Holiness is a possibility here on earth. Luke.1:74-75. We being delivered out of the hands of our enemy might serve Him without fear: in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life. No holiness, no freedom from sin, our service will not be acceptable to the Lord, God has the power to make you and me holy and to keep us holy every day of our life. REMEMBER WITHOUT HOLINESS NO MAN SHALL SEE THE LORD. MAY GOD GRANT YOU SUFFICIENT GRACE TO BE HOLY IN SECRET AND IN THE OPEN. Amen.

1Peter 4:12-19

12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, 
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[a]
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
Amen !! 

17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.
20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 “In your anger do not sin”[d]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
AMEN !!  

I wanted to warn hopefully spread Truth along as to why GOD is allowing lucifer (satan) to come play Jesus SOON? For one to understand, you need to be aware of the past age before this one. This Earth age is 6,000 some years old, but the age before one we existed in spiritual bodies millions of years ago (Paleontology documents this as well). As you read in the Book Job it was a wonderful time, the angels sang with GOD and all was good. To shorten a long story GOD rewarded the entity named lucifer to the highest position any entity can earn (He was so good he earned the top spot under GOD), which was to guard the Mercy Seat of CHRIST. Consequently, lucifer's pride brought him down (he thought he was better than GOD) and caused 1/3 of GOD'S children to rebel against him. Anyone can read about this in appendix 146 in The Companion Bible. Also, the word "foundation" in the manuscripts means "overthrow", "throw down". Revelation 12:4 talks about 1/3 of GOD'S children rebelling against him as well, and they're here in this generation as well. Hence the first shall be last the last shall be first. As you know what goes around comes around again, so GOD is allowing this to happen again SOON to see who learned their lesson from the 1st age. Yes, lucifer (the false messiah) will have awesome supernatural ability (he's a Cherubim—Revelation 13:13-14) and will have incredible physical beauty (Ezekiel 28 and Revelation 13:11). Sadly, MANY Christians will have not learned their lesson (Revelation 12:9, Revelation 13:14). As GOD stated in Luke 21:18 and Revelation 9:4 “NOT ONE HAIR ON YOUR HEAD SHALL PERISH”. I hope people understand after this the tribulation coming isn’t a slaughtering, but a spiritual war. The false messiah lucifer is coming PEACEABLY and prosperously (Daniel 11:24), which means he going to tempt Christians with anything that will make you worship him. I made this Bible study video where you can read this about this and the age before this one here-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdLUTSIX8Zs
