Personal Views versus Sanctification by Truth

Do you really study the Bible? When you read the Bible, do you view it from your church’s views and/or your personal views, or do you read it to be sanctified by truth (John 8:31, 32; John 17:17; Ephesians 5:26, 27). Presently most churches and Christians do the former.

All too often the Holy Spirit has not been allowed to bring the truth of God to the people of God (John 14:26). This has resulted in very little real and mature salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16), as well as very little real unity of the faith (Ephesians 4:13). No wonder the countries of the earth, especially the United States of America, are in such turmoil. There is a great price to pay for quenching the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19) and for adding to and/or taking away from the Word of God (Deuteronomy 4:2).

Unless there is real repentance, restoration, revival, and awakening in the next few hours, the lack of sanctification by truth will never be more evident than this coming Pentecost Sunday. It is impossible to be sanctified by truth unless we allow the Holy Spirit to be what the Bible says He is. May real repentance that leads to restoration, revival, and awakening come to the Church and come quickly, or the turmoil is going to increase, and increase significantly. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to be who He is and do what He is here to do. I surrender all!
