As a person pursuing God, we must not be oblivious to things pursuing us! There are so many things that the enemy sends to distract you from being the real YOU! If we are not careful we will submit to things that are beneath us.

The word of God exposes that the greatest battle that anyone could ever face does not take place in the realm of the natural but of the spirit. Jesus taught and demonstrated that believers who know the word are commanded to deal aggressively with Satan and his works. For us to win this spiritual battle, we must renew our minds and adopt the mindset that Christ has toward Satan and the realm of darkness. Today, we will begin to discover that spiritual growth only takes place when we are willing to grow up and fight like the Man!

Holiness is a state of being. There is nothing we can do to obtain Holiness. We can't work for it, pay for it, or get it from someone, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT ANYONE CAN DO TO BE HOLY! Only the LORD God almighty can declare us Holy. God is only attracted to our “Yes”! Holiness is the separation from all things common or unclean.

We are living in a time where it is important for us to grow up and mature in the things of God. As a believer, God has empowered us with HIS Holy Spirit. Therefore, we are without excuse and have no reason to operate in ignorance. Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit we can commune with God, hear HIS voice, receive instructions, etc. But in order to get to this place we must operate in Holiness. Holiness is the nature and character of God.

We are living in a time of warfare where the enemy lives among us. Because of this, God’s instruction in a time of spiritual warfare is always to operate in Holiness, our birthright (right of possession/privilege at birth). Holiness allows God to move uninhibited in our lives and empowers us to defeat our enemy at the same time! Tonight, we will continue to discover that we can't wait to grow up, and realize that Holienes is winning by spiritual warfare!

We have learned that many people believe that holiness is a state of personal conduct, when in fact, our personal conduct should be a result of holiness. Today, we will discover that our birthright is to be Holy and to finally stop struggling!!

Holiness is a topic that is not often misunderstood among Christians, many people believe that holiness is a state of

personal conduct, when actually our personal conduct should be a result of holiness. We will discover that God will not

just bestow holiness on you, we must, #1.receive, #2 grow in, and #3. walk in it by faith. Tonight we will begin to learn

that holiness is the key to your new growth!

We learned that immaturity was intended only as a phase of development. When it becomes a state of being, it becomes bondage and will threaten your potential and even your life! Tonight, we will continue our journey as we learn to grow from stealing(spiritual orphan) to stewarding (spiritual maturity)

Today, we will continue to discover and discern the difference between being an Heir versus staying in the bondage of immaturity through the deception of the orphan spirit!
