[MAIN PASSAGE]:
1 JOHN 3:5-10 (NLT)
5And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him.
6Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin.
But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is.
7Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous.
8But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning.
But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.
9Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning (anyone who makes sin a practice makes a mockery of Christs death on the cross), because God’s life is in them.
So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.
10So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil.
Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God.


[TPT] - Parallel 
5And you know without a doubt that Jesus was revealed to eradicate sins, and there is no sin in him.
Anyone who continues to live in union with him will not sin.
6But the one who continues sinning hasn’t seen him with discernment or known him by intimate experience.



NOTES:
Greek definition for Holiness is 'Hagios'
Which translates into being "set apart," sacred, and dedicated exclusively to God.
Noun: 'Hagiósuné' which means 'sanctification'

-We cannot live in the light if we've made our home in the shadows.

-One of the greatest revelations we can ever have of Jesus is not just in dreams or visions but in applying His mindset, character and motives to our lives.

ROMANS 12:1 (NLT)
1And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you.
Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable.
This is truly the way to worship him.

-When God is at the center of something, it's alive, not dead.
So when we offer up a sacrifice, it has to be one that is alive and worthy of acceptance.


[TWO Examples of sacrifices that were alive.]

The Widow’s Mite (Luke 21:1-4): Jesus observed a poor widow giving two small copper coins, noting that she gave more than all the others.
While the wealthy gave out of their wealth, she gave out of her poverty, sacrificing all she had to live on.

Her sacrifice was alive because it was all that she had... not out of status or prosperity.


PSALMS 51:17 (NLT) - (David's prayer of confession when Nathan the prophet exposed his adultery with Bathsheba)
17The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.


[PS 51:7 - TPT]
7Purify my conscience! Make this leper clean again!
Wash me in your love until I am pure in heart.

-The poor woman sacrificially offered all she had.
-David offered all he had through a desperately repentant heart.

To know Jesus is to love Him out of sacrificial sincerity.

Not chasing the hand of God but His heart.

When we can't stop sinning, it defines what or who we are mastered and fathered by.

When we are in union with Christ, it is impossible to be mastered by anything outside of Christ's likeness.

We must respond by getting back to the place of pursuing the heart of God.

ASK:
-What in my life (inwardly) doesn't produce Christ's likeness?
Taking a walk through our homes this week, let's ask-
-Is there anything here that isn't bringing me into a closer union and desperation for Jesus?
---What might be a stumbling block?  

PSALMS 139:23-24
23God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart.
Examine me through and through;
find out everything that may be hidden within me.
Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares.
24See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on,
and lead me back to your glorious, everlasting way—
the path that brings me back to you.


[MAIN REVELATORY FOCUS]:
I’m looking for lovers that are sincere.
Lovers that don’t live with shady morality but diligent humility.
I’m looking for people who are willing to come back into formation, to a life of order, discipline and who are desperately longing to experience and encounter My divine favor.
My favor has been watered down in the minds of My children to carry an emphasis of (material/ superficial) blessings and easy access, but what this truly means is an ‘open heaven’ (divine spiritual outpouring) for the desperately devoted.

This means spiritual wealth that bubbles over into natural prosperity.
The motives of men and women must be to become re-aligned to My heart and not My hand. I want to pour out new dimensions of spiritual wealth, spiritual gifts and fresh activations of spiritual life among you, but the prerequisite to this access is a life of holiness and willingness to be adjusted by My Spirit.

Spiritual alignment is the only way to genuine spiritual discernment.
One cannot operate without the other. Both go hand in hand.
This is My heart for The Church, that all believers become lovers of My presence, positioned in righteousness and fervent in passion to engage intimately in fellowship with My Spirit.

It’s time to go beyond the outer place and into the inter dimensional realm where consecration becomes the oil and holiness becomes the way.
