DAILY MANNA FROM RUSSELL AND HELEN

SANCTIFY – SANCTIFIED

LESSON 5

THE BELIEVER’S SANCTIFICATION – PART 1

With the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, the process of being sanctified as a New Testament follower of Jesus became different. It was no longer a matter of ritual as it had been under the Mosaic Law.

There have been various teachings about sanctification in churches. Some do not even teach of it at all. I grew up in a Pentecostal church. The two largest Pentecostal denominations did not agree on what constituted the sanctification of the believer. One denomination taught of two distinct works of grace, which were salvation, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. They taught “progressive sanctification” not as a separate work of God’s grace, but rather as an ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the life and conduct of the believer.

The other denomination taught that there were three separate distinct works of grace. They were salvation, sanctification, and baptism of the Holy Spirit. They taught “entire sanctification” as a spiritual experience. It would occur at a specific time as one is praying, often happening as one would seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It was an event marked by a very ecstatic emotional display usually accompanied by “stammering lips” as mentioned in Isaiah 28:11. (See Isaiah 28:5-12.) Stammering lips and other tongues are mentioned there together as a way in which the LORD would speak to his people. They believe this spiritual experience results in their entire or complete sanctification to God. It is a specific work of Holy Spirit.

Only a few such groups hold the view of “entire sanctification.” I personally do not subscribe to it even though as a youngster seeking the baptism, I did on several occasions experience the stammering lips or stammering tongues while seeking and praying.

Tomorrow we will consider what I believe to be sanctification in New Testament terms. How are we sanctified unto God? What does it mean to our Christian experience as a born-again follower of Christ?

PRAISE AS A WEAPON

Often when we are in a spiritual battle, we don’t think about praising the Lord. It doesn’t feel natural when you are on the battlefield, but God used praise to defeat the enemy when King Jehoshaphat was told to send the singers out on the frontline of battle before the soldiers.

The enemies were coming against King Jehoshaphat from all sides. He didn’t know what to do. (Does this sound like a situation you might have been in?) He decided to set himself to seek the Lord and proclaimed a fast (II Chronicles 20:3).

The people came together, and Jehoshaphat said in verse 7, “Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend forever? And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein, for thy name, saying, If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.”

The first thing King Jehoshaphat did was remind God of his promises for Israel. Then he goes on to say the enemy was coming against “God’s people” and in verse 12 he prayed, “O our God, wilt thou not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; either know we what to do: but our eyes are on you.” Whenever we don’t know what to do, we must keep our eyes on the Lord.

He asked God for help. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel, a Levite, in the midst of the congregation and he gave a word from the Lord in verse 15 which says, “…Be not afraid not dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours but God’s.”

He followed the advice, and in verse 21 it says, “And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out BEFORE the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth forever.”

Now I am sure the singers were concerned, but they had heard the word that the battle was God’s, and they went forth in faith. In verse 22 it says, “And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.”

The battle was won the “praise team” started singing. They didn’t use any weapon other than praise. We too can win the battle when we praise God and give him our battles. We can see situations change instantly and the enemies against us defeated. So, praise him. Praise him in the good times. Praise him in the tough times. Psalm 150:6 says, “Let everything that hath breath (everything that is alive) praise the LORD. Praise ye the Lord.”

God still speaks through his prophets.

Click here to see some of the prophetic words that have been given this year through this ministry.

Two important words that need to be taken to heart for 2022

1-15-2022

PROPHETIC WORD

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

For I have set you apart for this season saith the Lord, and I would say, come to the winepress and I will show you how the wine is made. Do you see the grapes my child? They are fully ripe and have been harvested; but now is the time for the crushing. You see my child there is no pouring out of the wine without the crushing of the grapes. The grapes are the fruit in your life that I am pleased with, but now it is time for the fruit to be crushed so the pure wine of the vine can come forth. Do you notice that the grapes are put there by the ones that have grown them? Do you notice how they are poured onto the press? Do you think the grapes realize that this is the time for change? No, my child for if they knew they would escape the husbandman’s hand and would flee. They are harvested for this hour and for this purpose. Watch closely as the press begins. It will begin slowly for if it was speedily the grapes would fall from the press. Then as the process begins, the crushing becomes more intense, and the hulls of the grapes are sifted from the pure fruit of the vine. So, it will be with you, my child. You will see this hour as something very unpleasant as the crushing away of those things has to happen to bring forth the true fruit of the vine in your life. As it is crushed, it changes the way the grape is viewed. It no longer is plush full and ready to be eaten. For you, the grapes of my field were chosen to be the precious wine that can only come through the crushing. I will take you now to the olive press my child, and you shall see how the oil comes forth. It too only comes forth through the crushing of the fruit, but what comes forth is the anointing oil that brings forth the anointing in your life. So too, shall the things that need to be crushed to bring forth the anointing will happen with you my child, for I long to pour my anointing out upon you, but it will only come through the crushing. Oh, you have the fruit, but the fruit must be crushed to bring forth the anointing. Now that you have seen the press my child it is up to you to go through this process, but I can assure you that the outcome will be far more valuable than the pain of the crushing. You shall see things change in your life as the wine and the oil are poured out from you and into others. Will you be as one that surrenders and says not my will but thine oh Lord be done? If so, my child be prepared for this season of crushing. It will begin slowly but will become very intense even so that your entire being would cry out to me and ask why I have forsaken you, but you must realize this must take place to be used as the precious oil and wine for my kingdom, saith the Lord.

PROPHETIC WORD

A STORM IS COMING

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

I would say that there is a storm coming and it is on the horizon. You would look and say what is it Lord? Who is it Lord? Where is this storm coming from? And I would say look my child and you shall see. It is a storm of my remnant coming forth as a swarm overtaking the land. For this remnant has come together and will sweep across areas in such a way that the enemy will be taken down swiftly. Oh yes, this is a storm, like stormtroopers coming in from every direction. Do you see the enemy cower? He is cowering because he knows that his time is short. He cowers in fear knowing his destination. For this swarm is mighty and going forth to conquer saith the Lord. It has risen up for this hour and come together to bid my call. It has crucified the flesh and has laid down its own plans to respond to its general, the commander in chief, the mighty one of Israel that will lead this storm to victory. You shall see a storm in the natural and you will know that the spiritual storm will arise at the same time, for it is about to happen. Now my child do not fear, for I am at the head of this storm with you following me, dressed in complete armor ready to take the enemy by surprise. There will be victory after victory for those that follow my lead, for this is your hour to rise and be a part of this mighty army that will take the enemy down. For you shall see him defeated in area after area. He cowers knowing that his time is short. So, rise up and be ready and await my marching orders for the storm shall surely come saith the Lord. It shall surely come.

Apostle Pat Murray

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION

The greatest comfort in a world that’s full of sorrow and disappointments; Is for you to fully BELIEVE and KNOW in your heart…That our Lord God is in full CONTROL. Remember there’s great peace in knowing that you can always turn to Him. I can tell you of assurance; That when the storms of sorrow threatens to take your joy, your peace, your health, your job, your home, your relationship and even at times the very foundation on which you stand. IF you can only concentrate on this great truth…That it’s in times like these that you must run to THE ROCK…CHRIST JESUS our LORD…Our Savior, our Fortress and our Soon Coming King. Be encouraged by the words of Psalms 18: 1-6… “I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies. The ropes of death entangled me; floods of destruction swept over me. The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death laid a trap in my path. But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; and my cry to him reached his ears.” So today by faith just turn to Jesus when everything is going so wrong all around you; And know that you too can go to His Word, read it, believe it and then…STAND FIRM ON IT. Yes, you can count on our loving Lord Jesus…And KNOW that He will NEVER fail you; And I can promise you that for certain. Have a blessed day; And keep trusting God.
