CHRISTIAN INOCULATION: SANCTIFICATION UNTO HOLINESS OF LIFE 
"Sanctify Them Through Thy Truth: Thy Word Is Truth" 
(John 17: 17).
"But Sanctify The Lord God In Your Hearts ...." 

(1 Peter 3: 15).
"For Both He That Sanctifieth And They Who Are Sanctified Are All Of One: For Which Cause He Is Not Ashamed To Call Them Brethren" 
(Hebrews 2: 11).
Most Christians and Zionists are not sanctified in the real Divine sense of the word. Most of this majority assume that they are sanctified and they are encouraged in this assumption by their Pastors, Priests, Evangelists, Theologians or Tract writers. When I say that most Christians and Zionists are not sanctified in the real Divine sense of it, I refer to people who have met with The Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah at one time of their lives and have obtained Justification of Life. Some of them call themselves born-again Christians or Zionists obviously unaware of the fact that being born again is a long spiritual process that does not end with only one spiritual experience of Justification. 

Why most Christians and Zionists are not sanctified is because they are acquainted with only the formal, ceremonial meaning of Sanctification and not with its connotation as a distinct stage of Spiritual Regeneration. The very few who are lucky enough to know this special meaning of Sanctification πŸ”œ soon give up the effort because it is a difficult task.

It is more difficult to be sanctified, divinely sanctified, than to be forgiven and justified unto eternal life. Yet Sanctification is the next step for you if you have been justified, on the spiritual 🚢walk in the Kingdom of God to which you have just been admitted. It is dangerous to assume Salvation, it is even worse to assume Sanctification. Yet Sanctification is the most widely assumed condition or spiritual state in contemporary Christianity. No Christian or Zionist finds the idea that he or she is not sanctified comfortable. So it is easier to assume that somehow along the line God must have sanctified you. Yet in Christianity we are not called to assume what we should strive for.

It is great thanks to God that you do not have to assume any longer. The truth is out. Sanctification is the second stage of the New Birth in Lord Christ De Messiah and it has its own peculiar, spiritual experiences highlighting its attainment. You don't need to beat about the Bush any longer. In this sacred blog unit discourse, I will, by God's Grace, take you through the paces leading to The Sanctification of your soul in Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah, for The LORD, Almighty God. 




Before we delve into the methods of attaining SANCTIFICATION it is useful to review the usage of the word and its connotations so that you as an aspirant can correctly focus your aspiration. Correct focusing of aspiration is very important.
(i) "And The LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes, and be ready against the third day" 
(Exodus 9: 10-11).
".... I am come to sacrifice unto The LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice" 
(1 Samuel 16: 5).

This is SANCTIFICATION as a Religious Ritual or Ceremonial Sanctification. It usually involves taking a bath in a stream or some other form of ablution if not a complete πŸ›€ bath. It might include anointing with πŸ›’ oil. Sometimes wearing fresh clothing or special clothing is involved. On important occasions a fast might be added to it 
(Joel 1: 14; 2: 15).

T
his form of Sanctification is still being used in the Christian world. It is powerful psychologically in orienting individual and public consciousness towards Holiness. It has great values in terms of hygiene. Sometimes it works in inducing Repentance in the people and solemnizing religious rituals. Publicly and privately it is the easiest way of creating solemnity.


However, by its nature this form of religious sanctification does not and cannot go far enough. The body is sanctified, but the soul is not. A point of Repentance might be achieved, but the spell soon wears off. In any case the total character is hardly changed, that is, the total character of the person.


After some time it becomes merely ritualistic. After sanctifying themselves, they people still go forward and commit their various sins, adultery, fornication, stealing, murder, blasphemy, etc. In Isaiah 66: 17 it was reported that those who sanctified themselves and purified themselves in the garden behind one 🌲 tree went forward to commit abominations and were slated for destruction.


So the Garment, the white garment might help to induce the thought of Holiness, but it does not and cannot confer Holiness on the wearer. It cannot confer Holiness on the body. It cannot confer it on the soul.


There is a case of genuine usefulness of properly consecrated πŸ›’ Oil for inducing vibrations of Holiness on the recipient or candidate  preparatory to ENERGY TRANSFER in healing or initiation ceremonies. This is a topic under Divine Mysticism which I may not find space to discuss here; but the effect soon wears πŸ“΄ off unless the recipient is basically holy in his or her soul. This principle however is the origin of anointing with πŸ›’ Oil in all Ordination Ceremonies in the Christian cum Zionist Churches. Of course Christianity didn't originate it; she rightly inherited it, a useful idea. In spite of this usefulness, the πŸ›’ Oil which anoints the body cannot sanctify the soul. Neither can it cleanse the soul.






(ii)  The word "Sanctified" is sometimes used in religious writing to simply mean "somebody or some vessel has been set aside for a religious or boluses".

The setting aside might be through the agency or public or private ceremonies or might  merely be through conventional association of usage or association of identity.

In this case there are Christians and Zionists sanctified by mere reason of their being associated with Christianity or Messianic (Revival) Judaism, a holy Religion. This, nevertheless, is not the Sanctification which we are talking about since it doesn't concern itself with the real state of their souls.





SANCTIFICATION, as you will πŸ”œ soon discover as you continue with us in this course of Holiness with zeal, is a little more difficult than being converted to the Faith in Lord Christ De Messiah, although it requires that as a prerequisite.


The usage that you are sanctified by association with a Church of God or a Religious Group or because you "offered" your life to The Lord & Saviour of mankind and forsook the society of Satan is valid in so far as Biblical Convention goes. But surely we are aiming for something deeper and more real when we attempt to inform you about SANCTIFICATION as a stage of New Birth or Spiritual Regeneration. We are aiming at SANCTIFICATION as a distinct Spiritual Experience, a spiritual stage in the development of the soul, not a polite biblical generalization that covers all and sundry in so far as they have not sinned in a conspicuous manner. 


In the Old Testament period, only those who were divinely called as Prophets or Seers had asses to The Spirit of God and hence knew a bit about the nature of God.The rest depended heavily on hearsay, tribal lore and private conjectures. 

But our Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah has called all of us to become children of God in a spiritual way and Sanctification is the next significant step required of us.

(iii) "... they shall sanctify My Name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob" 
(Isaiah 29: 23).
"But sanctify The Lord God in your hearts ...." 
(1 Peter 3: 15).
Sanctification here means 'Reverence'. That is, they shall call His Name with reverence and with pure thoughts. St. Peter mentioned 'our heart'. This is delightful, for the experience of Sanctification has to do with our hearts, the matrix of all our desires. It has to do with "Purity"; it has to do with "Our❤  Hearts".




(iv)  So we finally arrive at the meaning of Sanctification which is most important to us as Children of God. The meaning which we are looking for is "Purification of Our Souls" or more specifically of "Our❤ Hearts" so that it is pure and sin is uprooted from within us.
To this πŸ”š end our Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah Himself prayed for His Disciples: 
"Sanctify Them Through Thy Truth: Thy Word Is Truth" 
(John 17: 17).

One of the ends of SANCTIFICATION, as the inspired Writer of Hebrews pointed out, is "Increased Rapport Of The Christian Or Zionist With His Blessed LORD".

"For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren" 
(Hebrews 2: 11).

SANCTIFICATION Unto Holiness Of Life By Incessant Consecration And Dedication Of Life, Unto God, Namely:

THE REGENERATION!



HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD
"Holiness Unto The Lord" is an ideal Christian or Zionist Motto. In fact, it has been the only motto that could express the deep desire and aspiration of my soul.

Let us, at this juncture, take a sparkling homily πŸ”› on the Divine Holiness - 'The Sanctification Of Our Souls'.

In the Words of our Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah, according to the Gospel of St. Matthew Chapter 7 verse 21 we read:
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the Will of my Father Which is in Heaven".

"This is the Will of God, even your Sanctification ... For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto Holiness" (1 Thess. 4: 3, 7). Without Holiness, "no man shall see The LORD" (Hebrews 12: 4). Therefore, "Be ye holy ..." 
(1 Peter 1: 16).

Anyone who reads his Holy Bible in sincerity, "not handling the Word of God deceitfully" (2 Corinthians 4: 2) will see that it plainly teaches that God expects His people to be holy, and that we must be holy to be happy and useful here, and to enter the Kingdom of Heaven hereafter.

When once a true man is convinced that the Holy Bible teaches these facts and that this is God's Will, he will next inquire, "What is this Holiness? When can I get it, and how?"

There is much difference of opinion on all these points, although the Holy Scripture is simple and plain on each one to every honest seeker of Truth.

The Holy Bible tells us that Holiness is perfect deliverance from SIN. "The Blood of Jesus Christ De Messiah ... cleanseth us from all Sin" (1 John 1: 7).

Not one bit of Sin is left, for your old man is crucified with Him, 
"that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin" (Romans 6: 6), for we are "made πŸ†“ free from sin"
 (Rom. 6: 18).

And we are henceforth to reckon ourselves "dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God, through Jesus Christ De Messiah, our Lord" (Romans 6: 11).

The Holy Bible also tells us that it is "perfect love" which must, in the very nature of the case, expel from the ❤ heart all hatred and every evil temper contrary to love, just as you must first empty a cup of all oil that may be in it before you can fill it with water.

Thus, Holiness is a state in which there is no anger, malice, blasphemy, hypocrisy, envy, love of ease, selfish desires for good opinion of πŸ‘―‍♂️ men, shame of the Cross, worldliness, deceit, controversy, contention, covetousness, nor any evil desire or tendency in the ❤ heart. 

It is a state in which there is no longer any doubt or fear.
It is a state in which God is loved and trusted with a perfect being.
But though the heart may be perfect, the head may be very imperfect, and through the imperfections of his head - of his memory, his judgment, his reason - the holy man may make many mistakes. Yet God looks at the sincerity of his purpose, at the love and faith of his heart - not at the imperfections of his head - and calls him a holy man.

Holiness is not absolute perfection, which belongs to God only; nor is it angelic perfection; nor is it Adamic perfection - for, no doubt, Adam had a perfect head as well as a perfect ❤ heart before he sinned against God. But it is Christian Perfection - such perfection and obedience of the ❤ heart as a poor fallen creature aided by Almighty Power and boundless Grace, can give.

It is that state of heart and life which consists in 'being and doing all the time' - not by fits and starts, but steadily  - just what God wants us to be and do.




Our Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah said, "Make the tree good, and its fruit good" (Matt.12: 33). Now, an 🍎 apple tree is an apple tree all the time, and can bring forth nothing but apples. So, as a matter of fact,
Holiness is that perfect renewal of our nature that makes us essentially good, so that we continually bring forth fruit unto God - "the fruit of The Spirit", which is "Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance" (Galatians 5: 22-23), with never a single work of the flesh grafted in among this Heavenly fruitage.

Glory to God! It is possible, right down here, where Sin and Satan have once ruined us, for the Blessed Son of God thus to transform us, by enabling us to "put off  ... the old man" with his deeds, and to "put on the new man, which after God is created after the image of Him that created him" 
(Colossians 3: 10).

Surely, you can make it and be sanctified today through Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah Who died for us. If others can have it by God's Grace, you can have it, too. You can have it if you will go to the Blessed Lord & Saviour of the World and sincerely πŸ™ ask for His Divine Mercy, Forgiveness and Grace and with the FAITH of earnest seeker of Salvation & SANCTIFICATION; and The Blessed Lord and Saviour of Mankind will do for you "exceedingly abundantly above all that" you πŸ™ "ask or think, according to the Power that worketh in us"
(Ephesians 3: 20). Amen & Amen.
