The spirit of Holiness can possess you just like demonic spirits and once you have the spirit of holiness, you are bound to face persecution.

The Regalia of power is the spirit of holiness.

Points you should note about Holiness:

  • You don’t have mercy yet, if you are still falling.
  • You have to forsake your sins to be holy.
  • The evidence of mercy in your life is that you have the power to forsake sin.
  • Holiness gives you the internal capacity to resist sin.
  • The real carrier of power is the spirit of holiness.
  • The essence of a preacher and the church is to turn many to righteousness and not to entertain.
  • Righteousness is the catalyst for spiritual transformation.
  • The greatest asset of any church are preachers of righteousness not the structures.
  • Many are men of God but not Children of God.
  • If you don’t have the internal propensity to resist sin you aren’t a child of God.
  • Separate yourself from spiritual contaminants.
  • Grace is a teacher of holiness.
