Christmas Party

December 27,2007 Cancelled plans... but GOD'S PLANS PREVAIL I was scheduled to speak to a youth group in La Trinidad,

Benguiet, and I called Ptr Oscar to find another speaker for the event.  There was nobody to replace me as youth speaker that night so I had no choice but to stay a few days more.  The surprising thing when I arrived to the meeting to find out that it was not one group of youth but it was a joint fellowship of youth from many groups in the outskits of La Trinidad, Benguet.  There was dancing for the Lord with the kanyao beat of christian music sang in their native language.... it was awesome!  12 were baptized in water that next day.

Sanctification and Holiness starts from the day you received God’s Word as Truth

Exodus 13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

God’s Work in Us Ephesians 2:10 "For we are His

workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.“

1Th 2:13 For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

God’s Work in Us Heb 13:21

20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

God’s Work in Us Exodus 6:6

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: 7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, which brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.

Separated for His Purpose Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had

said unto Abram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, unto a land that I will show you: 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.

All of us are called out, drawn by the grace of God

—an act of love on His part—that separates us from the rest of the world and puts us in a position in relation to Him that the uncalled do not have the privilege of being part of. We had no control, as it were, over this, and neither do the uncalled. "Jacob have I loved. Esau have I hated."

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him; and I will raise him [the drawn one] up at the last day.

All of us are called out, drawn by the grace of God

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him; and I will raise him [the drawn one] up at the last day.

God had to do similar things spiritually to break our bondage to Satan and this world so that we are set apart. This is no little thing. It is because of what the Lord does that we are separated from the world. Miracles have to occur, or we would never be separated, and those miracles begin with our calling.

summoned by God to be separated to have God Himself reproduced in us. the Hebrew and the Greek words "sanctify" implies: cleanliness, purity, blamelessness, sacredness; holiness, consecration, devotion, dedication. and for sacred use.

Revelation 19:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come

out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.

Example: Abraham and his family; Israel from Egypt,

their sanctification was also geographical. His purpose was to establish a new community of people

all involved in the same purpose. Now with the church, our separation is not geographical,

but is spiritual, moral, and ethical, while still living geographically within the system that we were born into. We must become separated from the way, from the manner, from the lifestyle, from the attitudes of the system that we were born into, and moved to make God's way, His manner, His system, His attitude ours. That is how we "come out.“

Exodus 19:4 4 You have seen what I did unto the

Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

5 Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

6 And you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak unto the children of Israel.

I Peter 2:5 You also, as living stones, are built up a

spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

V9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

rescued from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear,

75 In holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.

Spirit - 1 John 4:13Hereby know we that we dwell in him and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit and we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him and he in God
