Friends, to be part of this wave of the Holy Spirit, you
must, first, cry out to God and ask Him to take the spiritual blinders
off your eyes. Humble yourself before Him, and ask Him to expose all sin
in your life that may be hidden to you.
You must be willing to submit yourself to Christ and allow Him to cut away all those things that are ungodly and unholy in His sight. Don’t try to measure yourself by the world’s standards, or by the standards man has set. The Lord has commanded us, “Be ye holy for I am holy” (I Peter 1:16). We are to be holy as He is holy! We are to be partakers of His holiness (Hebrews 12:10).
As Christ exposes the sin and unrighteousness in your life, you must get rid of it! If you have formed unholy alliances with the world, break them.
If Christ reveals jealousy, hatred, bitterness or other ungodly attitudes to you, take authority over those things, and get them out of your heart.
If you have allowed worldliness and the lusts of your flesh to gain a foothold in your life, submit yourself to the Lord and ask Him to cleanse you of all worldly desires.
Peter said, “… beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless” (II Peter 3:14). Be diligent! We must spiritually strive! Jesus said, “Strive to enter in at the strait gate …” (Luke 13:24).
Paul said to follow after holiness “… without which no man shall see the Lord: looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God …” (Hebrews 12:14-15). This means we are to seek after holiness … to continually come before the Lord, and allow Him to reveal the sin and impurities in our lives. Then we must lean upon the Holy Spirit to continually bring our bodies into submission to Him and His Word.
Paul said:
But [like a boxer] I buffet my body [handle it roughly, discipline it by hardships] and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit [not stand the test and be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit].
I Corinthians 9:27, AMPC
Walk in an attitude of submission and repentance before God. You must bring your body into submission to the Word of God and perfect holiness in the fear of God.
Paul told the Corinthians:
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
II Corinthians 7:1
This wave of true holiness is coming to the Body of Christ. To be able to stand before Christ at His coming, pure—holy—without spot or blemish … clothed in His righteousness … you must allow Christ to purge and cleanse you now!
Hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. Begin NOW to prepare yourself for this great wave of the Holy Spirit that is coming to the Church.
Say this faith declaration out loud:
I submit myself to Him, and let Him cut out all the things that are unholy and ungodly in my life! I walk in an attitude of submission and repentance before God!
