What we do does not make us holy. I have been in churches where I’d be condemned as a man, for wearing short sleeves. The women were taught that holiness was to wear long dresses and could go to hell for wearing pants. Women were not allowed to cut their hair. Religion always bases your relationship with God on your performance. The children and teenagers were not allowed to play cards or certain games. They could not go to school dances or movies. Most of them leave their religions when they grow enough to make their own decisions. Very few people in this kind of religion have a real relationship with the spirit because they never feel good enough or holy enough to be received by him.
I wrote earlier that God foreknew us and predestined, called, justified and glorified us before we were born. Also Jer 1:5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations.
We are born holy and righteous but through being birthed in this physical realm we have the veil of flesh over us and have forgotten who we are. We then accepted the lie that we are just humans and sinners separated from our creator. Once the veils begin to be removed we realize we are magnificent, glorious beings who came to this world to manifest the love for all.
People have mistaken signs and wonders for spirituality. You can be very gifted with a healing ministry or any other gift and still not be very spiritual. If you go after anything but the life of Christ within you, you may get what you are looking for and still miss the Kingdom. Yet you may never be gifted in that sense. You may never experience laying hands on somebody and seeing them healed. But if you become one who experientially walks in the Kingdom of God, you will find that at times you will walk in a room and people will be healed, and they won’t realize it is coming from you. In this era, in this day, there will be no flesh get the glory for what spirit is doing. I have longed for years for this day.
