GOD CALLS YOU HOLY

Ephesians 1:4 (NIV), 1Corinthians 1:2(GNB & KJV), Hebrews 10:10 (TPT) For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love. *To the church of God which is in Corinth, to all who are called to be God’s holy people, who belong to him in union with Christ Jesus, … *Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, …*By God’s will we have been purified and made holy once and for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus, the Messiah!

What do you call yourself? It is not humility to call yourself anything less than what God is calling you, for whatsoever reason. That is actually pride, stupidity and carnality. We walk by faith and not by sight, (2Cor.5:7). The reason God calls things that be not as though they were is because He has made them so, (Rom.4:17). Just like it was with Abraham, as we agree with God concerning what He says and calls us, what He says and calls us with manifest in our lives. But if we choose to wait to experience what God says about us before we start saying it or calling ourselves it, we may never experience. During creation, God did not see before He spoke. He spoke it, then He saw it and He said it was good.

Apostle Paul usually addressed believers as saints because that is what God has made us, (Eph.1:1). In Christ, God has sanctified us and made us saints. We are not going to become saints when we get to Heaven. We are saints right here and now. We are holy. We were made holy by the precious blood and sacrifice of Jesus. Now, we are God’s holy temple and God lives in us by His Spirit. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”(1Cor.3:16). Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in you. You do not belong to yourself. You belong to God. God bought you with a price. Therefore yield your body to God and use your body and your life for God’s glory, (1Cor.6:19-20). You are dead to sin and alive to Christ (Rom.6:11).

Declare that you are holy and you are everything that God calls you, until it takes a hold of your consciousness and begins to affect your lifestyle and responses.

Faith Declaration:
I am everything God says I am. I am holy, I am righteous and I am sanctified and separated unto God. I am dead to sin and alive to Christ.
