Jn 10:36
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Sanctified – set apart for a specific purpose. Jesus was set apart for you and I.
Jer 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Jeremiah was sanctified in the womb. Sanctified = set apart – not holier than you. Before we were born God set us apart to be overcomers. When God needs a man He calls him. God is calling us to come into the body of overcomers.
Gal 1:15, 16
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Paul was set apart in his mother’s womb. God always had his hand on Saul. Saul persecuted Christians. No matter what we’ve done, we are sanctified. We can stand as sanctified to be overcomers. Don’t let the devil condemn you for anything you’ve done. God has done something in us even if we don’t understand it.
I Cor 1:2
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
To them that are sanctified in Christ – We are set apart, consecrated in Jesus. Our will is not our own. We are subjects of a new order.
I Cor 6:11
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.
But ye are washed, ye are sanctified. Not one Corinthian lived above sin. But, they were sanctified. We are sanctified, set apart, consecrated for God’s purposes. Spiritual condition has nothing to do with it! Even when we are sinners. By the Blood, Spirit, and Word we are sanctified, moved from darkness to light. Set apart.
Eph 5:25, 26
Husbands, love you wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Washed by the Word, sanctified and cleansed. Many Christians accept the blood, but reject the Word that sanctifies us. The Word will set you apart to do the will of God, not man or denominations, the Babylonian system. The woman church – Shulamite – must come and the manchild will be birthed. The Spirit-filled group is also a part of Babylon. The Word will bring forth a sanctified woman. People come out of church for more of Jesus. Denominations try to contain it but God will bring forth the church of Jesus!
Revelation 12:1-2, 5
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. … And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Jn 17:17-20
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.
God sanctifies the church; we don’t. Know the Word. Sanctify them through thy truth. Thy Word is truth. In v. 19, Jesus said, I sanctify myself. Jesus set himself apart. He’s the pattern. We have to sanctify ourselves – yield, take action, authority and move in it. Don’t just believe. Do it. Get out there in it.
II Chron 29:5, 34
And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
The Levites had already been set apart for God’s ministry, but now God said, sanctify yourselves, consecrate yourselves. You have to embrace it and do something.
34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
Outer court ministry might have to do our job until we sanctify ourselves and start doing the will of God. God is admonishing us and urging us to eat and breathe this. We are waiting for more priests when we should sanctify ourselves. Purpose to set self apart. “I know God has sanctified me and now I embrace it.” If you want to do greater works than Jesus (heal, raise the dead, set the captive free, etc), sanctify yourself.
2 Corinthians 6:16-7:1
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
How?
- Let the Blood settle what it needs to.
- Let the Word do its work in you.
- Present yourself every day to the Word, Blood, and Spirit. It will move you into that place.
God sanctified Jesus, Jesus sanctified himself so we could be sanctified. We must be like Jesus and sanctify ourselves.
Taught by a man of God.
