Chapter 7

Holiness and Humility

Every prophetic worshiper needs to understand the

importance of walking in holiness and humility. Impurity and pride are deadly enemies that have the potential of eventually killing the move of the Spirit in and through our lives.

A voice of one calling: “In the desert prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low…. and the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it” ( Is. 40:3-5, NIV).

The voice of “one” who cried through Isaiah and John the Baptist continues today. It is the voice of a person— The Holy Spirit. All of us in the family of God should hear this voice. We cannot allow ourselves the luxury of being in a hurry or too busy to hear His voice because there is no other voice as important. Let us be attentive. Let us open our ears and our hearts. It is time to prepare our souls to receive because His voice is Wisdom itself.

The message of this voice in the desert is: “Prepare the way for the Lord.” God is a Holy God. The name of His Spirit is precisely, Holy Spirit , and the path on which He travels is 75

76 The Prophetic Worshiper a holy one. He flows through clean and pure vessels.

Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and

spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God ( 2 Cor.

7:1, NIV).

If we value who Jesus is and the great promises of God for our lives, we will not allow worldliness to dominate us.

Sins such as pride, arrogance, bitterness, resentment, lust, and all types of impurity that contaminate our minds and hearts will have no place in our lives. We should cleanse ourselves of these things and prepare the way for a Holy God.

Cleansing and Purification

The Scriptures tell of the period of King Hezekiah and how the Levites were not walking in holiness. One day the king said unto them: “”Hear me, Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry out the rubbish from the holy place.” (2 Chr. 29:5). The command was three fold and final ; “sanctify now yourselves” “sanctify the house of the Lord God,” and “carry out the rubbish from the holy place”.

The first thing the Levites had to do to be able to minister was sanctify and purify themselves. In the book of Numbers we find a description of how they carried out this purification, and it emphasizes an interesting point.

In this way, you will set the Levites apart from the rest of the people…. After this, they may go in and out of the Tabernacle to do their work, because you have purified them and presented them as a special offering…. The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes, and Aaron Holiness and Humility 77

presented them to the Lord as a special offering….
