"There is a dual nature in every regenerated soul. [See Galatians 5:17] When a soul is born again and is under the first glorious flush of the regenerated life, one often thinks, what could be more marvelous? But after a while, the regenerated soul becomes conscious of the debatings inside the heart. It’s time now to sign the death warrant of the old disposition of sin. Entire sanctification must now do it’s work in the regenerated soul." -- Oswald Chambers
Yes, in regeneration our sins are washed away and a new beginning is now ours, nevertheless, the disposition of sin itself must also be dealt with, even destroyed. -kww
Our surrender to be entirely sanctified, set apart for God’s purposes, purified through and through, must now be our deepest desire. [1 Thessalonians 5:23] We need to personally experience the words recorded in 1 John 3:8b [NLT] "But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil." -kww
Entire sanctification destroys within us the works of the devil. Indeed, the nature of sin itself is exchanged for a holy disposition. Say what? Yes, the attitude of sin that we inherited from a fallen Eden -- that is, the devil’s desired disposition -- must be cleansed, purged, done away with within us. If we believe we will receive this right relationship with God. As we surrender, He sanctifies and satisfies our souls. -kww
We only need to be willing that He would sanctify our souls. He is already willing and will accomplish it if and when we ask in faith believing He can. Even now. Have you believed and received the inheritance [entire sanctification] of every regenerated [saved/born again] soul?
"It is God’s will that you should be sanctified..." 1 Thessalonians 4:3 [NIV]
If you are forgiven of your sins and you hunger and thirst for righteousness, a right relationship with the Lord [Matthew 5:6], then this five-part prayer is one right way to pray for fulfillment:
1. Surrender your right to yourself over to God.
2. Ask Him to purity your heart fully by faith [Acts 15:9].
3. Believe He can and wants to sanctify the regenerated soul and believe He does it now.
4. Receive the inheritance of His Holiness as your brand new nature.
5. Rejoice in a right relationship that pleases God and puts you at peace in His Presence.
Note: The best proof His work is being done within you will come as you bear His Holy Spirit’s fruit [Galatians 5:22-23]. This will be the most wonderful witness that His Presence has gloriously made His Home within you [John 14:23]
Hope Happens HERE!
Presence Matters Most!
No Invisible People! UNITY!
