Introduction

It is clear that the foundation of spiritual revival is brokenness. To attain the height of brokenness, you have to be holy. It is also clear that the Bible says that without holiness, no man can see God. An unholy person cannot go to heaven. Someone may prophesy or work miracles but without holiness, he cannot enter into heaven. The Bible says that on the day of judgement, many people will tell the Lord that they did this and that in the church; singing, sweeping, ushering in His name, but the Lord will say: "Get thee away from Me, ye workers of iniquity." It is because such works were done in a state of uncleanness. You would need to pray that the Lord should open your understanding so that after reading this book, your life will never remain the same again. I thank God for the opportunity given me to share these words with you. I pray that you will apply them to your life and take them to heart. I believe that you will have great testimonies as you read and apply them.

Think about your background; maybe you come from a family completely given to idolatry, or occultism, you would need to pray against these spirits. Even if you hail from a Christian home, I would also want you to pray against the spirit of religion, because the spirit of religion is a great barrier to living a holy life.

Take these prayer points with aggression in your spirit:

1. I receive deliverance from the spirit of idolatry, in the name of Jesus.

2. I receive deliverance from the spirit of the bond woman, in the name of Jesus.

3. I receive deliverance from the spirit of occultism, in the name of Jesus.

4. I receive deliverance from the spirit of religion, in the name of Jesus.

5. O Lord, let your fire purity the foundation of my life, in the name of Jesus.

6. O Lord, make my life a miracle, in the name of Jesus.

Chapter 1

What is Holiness?

1Thessalonians 4:7 says: "For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness."

In this verse, we can see two opposite words: UNCLEANNESS AND HOLINESS. It is possible for either of these two situations to exist in the life of a person.

A man of God was bothered about what was going on in his church. He had a serious burden for the members that were misbehaving; some of them were going through hard times in their businesses, careers, marriages, etc. He was so aggrieved, that he went into prayer and fasting to seek the face of the Lord. At night, he had a dream where he saw some people queuing up in front of a caterer who had a big pot of delicious food in front of him. The caterer had a serving spoon in his hand and was weeping profusely. The people who were on the queue too were weeping. They were asking the caterer to serve them food. Some of these people had rags on; some were skinny, hungry-looking and dirty. At a closer look, the man discovered that the people were members of his church for whom he had been praying. When he looked at the plates in their hands, he discovered that they were dirty. Some had leftovers on theirs, some had roaches going about on theirs, and some had faeces on theirs, while some had cobwebs on theirs, yet they were crying that the caterer should give them food.

When he woke up, he wondered what the dream meant and the Lord told him that the people he saw were members of his congregation for whom he had been praying. God told him that the caterer was God Himself. The food in the pot was the spiritual and physical blessings that He would like to bestow upon the people, but He could not because the vessels of their lives were dirty. The man of God then asked God to help them out. But God said they were the ones to clean themselves up, and that they had the will-power to decide on what to do. He said they were not robots, and were the ones to choose either death or life, uncleanness or holiness. God says He cannot give money to a person whose pockets are leaking.

WHY PEOPLE MISS OUT ON GOD'S BLESSINGS

Exodus 39: 30 says, "And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD."

When God wanted to make Himself known to the Israelites, He asked Moses for a place where He could show His glory. He asked Moses to build a tabernacle in the wilderness and gave him specific dimensions and details on how to build it. He gave Moses the inscription in the above text as their watchword and that it should be written boldly in the tabernacle. This inscription gave access to the presence of God.
