9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Santification already accomplised in the life of believer and the one that is ongoing unto the perfect day.
The meaning of Santification and How God Achive it the life of the beliver .
The Two pools of santification - one is Eternity Past and Eternity Future. God has a stragety for stantification from the creation of the earth.
Santification is not a new topic and you should not be scare about it is not an options is part of his strategy for man and his future.
The Past .. The fisrt prinsiple of God ..Paul saw the past and the purpose he has for his people since the foundation of the earth.
2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
The Picture of things to come ..
6 And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
The Fulfillment of Promise.
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
God Choose you by the act of his authority and included in Jesus .
34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.
37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
41 The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.”
42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, “Do not murmur among yourselves.
44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
God choose you why you are yet a seed of eternity . he choose you before time began , he included you in christ before the foundation of the earth ,
Why …
We should be holy — You be HOLY !!!
What does he mean , when it said HOLINESS. Orginal root word.
Agios - Greek - Saint , Scared.
To be different .
To be set apart - You are no longer common , not just available for all . AYOO. the favourite Wife ..
Something is sperate .
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
You are a dwelling of the Holy Spirit , that is what make a demand of the HOLYNIESS UPON YOU .
I am different , set apart not common or in the market. Part of the evidence that your are meet with God is that he lived you different .
26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
You are set part for a specific purpose in God and in that purpose you are suitable to work .. Later we will take about the gift of the spirit that equiped you for assignment .
I can only be use by GOD .. WE are set part .
I am not ordinary ..
He choose me in HIM since the foundation of the world.
When you life in the secrect is different from what you are in the public , what you have is FALSE .!!!. God confront me with false . I want to be orignal.
A man false ministry when you violate , you are in digression from the mandate of heaven.
2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
A CITY ..
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
The final destination of the church ..
You are this city .that is the vision of GOD for the church
26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.
9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
God wants Children that will be in the simipltitute and the image of his first born son Jesus. He included us in Christ.
21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
So we are not intimidated by the attaraction of the devil and his intidation.
We live for his , our life become the light and prism where we see him.
God Desire Holy Chidlren and will Have holy Children (End ).
15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,
16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
Conduct- Manner of Life , revilled in your manner of living. we can tell if you are set apart of not . in ALL CONDUCT.
What is Santification - to be made holy , to be separated into God and Saturated with with GOD , as the Holy one , one which is different and dinstint from what is common.
To summarize, “sanctification” is a translation of the Greek word Hagiasmos, meaning “holiness” or “a separation.” In the past, God granted us justification, a once-for-all, positional holiness in Christ. Now, God guides us to maturity, a practical, progressive holiness. In the future, God will give us glorification, a permanent, ultimate holiness. These three phases of sanctification separate the believer from the penalty of sin (justification), the power of sin (maturity), and the presence of sin (glorification).
1. consecration, purification, τό ἁγιάζειν.
2. the effect of consecration: sanctification of heart and life, 1 Corinthians 1:30
(Christ is he to whom we are indebted for sanctification);
1 Thessalonians 4:7;
Romans 6:19, 22;
1 Timothy 2:15;
Hebrews 12:14;
ἁγιασμός πνεύματος sanctification wrought by the Holy Spirit, 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Peter 1:2.
It is opposed to lust in
1 Thessalonians 4:3f. (It is used in a ritual sense, Judges 17:3 (Alexandrian LXX); Ezekiel 45:4; (Amos 2:11); Sir. 7:31, etc.) (On its use in the N. T. cf. Ellicott on 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 3:13.)
——
We are sperated and saturated with GOD ..
Process of making you holy - that process is called santification . IT IS A PROCESS!!!.
What is the Scope of our santification.
God want to sperate us , so he can saturate us with HIMSELF and HE CAN USE US . You are going to be put to usefullness of God , Hallow USE.
The Horse and Tie - Message , you are Choosen Generation.
It is the presence of God that will saturate you .
The Minimum regirement of God for you is holiness.. what qualify you to work for him and funstion in power is holiness .
God will not accept anything beyond holiness. it is regimented life , credibility and separation of holniess..
Satan always , hunt you , he will not stop so the battle is real. teh reason is that he want a hold on your destiny. Satan is fighting cos he wants precsious seed. he can stripped you of your glory , as long as your sperated unto God Satan has not hold and power over you.

The Power of Santification.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.
21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
Power of the Holy Spirit
God is more intrested in the fruits of the Holy Spirit than the gift
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
4 Steps of FAITH
Selection
Salvation..
Santification. taken the stone heart and give u heart of flesh.
Holy Spirit Baptism
24 For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.
25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
Salvation —
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Santification is the state of the Heart.
You can speak in tongue , without going thorough the process of santification.
It is santification that makes living holy easy. you orginal heart is weak and wicked
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
20 These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
You cannot committe sin and not think about it .
You thought about it and decided about it
23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.
Guide your heart…
Santification has another meaning ,it means set apart for God use.
SET APART - Favourity of GOD. no demon can touch you cos you are a vessel unto honour.
The power of santification is unquie in the intimacy with God.
5 And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
when you are truly santified you hear what others don’t hear, You see what other don’t see. You become the very best of God . Abraham , Moses , John.
21 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.”
22 Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
25 Then, leaning back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.
29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.
You Beging to Know what other cannot possible now . your intematcy with God will bring you into revelation, you know what other don’t know.
santify.. you know what other don’t knw
you see what other cannot see
25 Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you go, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant did not go anywhere.”
26 Then he said to him, “Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants?
27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever.” And he went out from his presence leprous, as white as snow.
2cor 12: Paul saw heaven.
..
Through santification is he actual secret of Divine POWER. God will not release massive power to somone who cannot see the invisible
9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”
10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.”
11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.
13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.
15 Now when the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.
1 Then the children of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there and was buried there.
2 Now there was no water for the congregation; so they gathered together against Moses and Aaron.
3 And the people contended with Moses and spoke, saying: “If only we had died when our brethren died before the Lord!
4 Why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our animals should die here?
5 And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates; nor is there any water to drink.”
6 So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
7 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
8 “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.”
9 So Moses took the rod from before the Lord as He commanded him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?”
11 Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.
12 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
13 This was the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel contended with the Lord, and He was hallowed among them.
Total crusifixation .. Thing die permannetly in you life that is not GOD.
20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”
Put your self on the CROSS. Crusify ME!!! thouroghly . Kill it once and FOR ALL .
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
