Holiness Is Right

By Candy E. Young

Holiness is Right was inspired by the Holy Spirit, as written responses of the Spirit of God to the authors prayers and admiration. These responses are specific messages for Gods children, and this writing is full of His love and expectations for righteous living, with specific regard to Gods love for everyone no matter where one is in terms of their relationship to Him. His expectations remind us that He has prepared a place for believers who choose to live holy lives. Even in dark hours, the Word of God and His presence is powerful, and the author loves reading these letters to the children of God. She finds herself reading them over and over with tears because Gods love for His children is so incredibly unbelievable.

Holiness is Right was a slogan created by my father for his church. He was a pastor who managed to demonstrate the power of love beyond his household. His love for God and being in the presence of God was his daily priority. Because of his discipline, I learned the power of love and being close to God. A relationship with God, like He created with Adam is my desire. As I desired to get closer to God, He commanded me to write what I was hearing. As I began to write these words, I could feel the room flood with a loving presence. While writing I would began to write through tears because I could feel His power of love. This world has no hope, and Gods people have to be reunited to Him to help heal a dying world. Each generation goes further and further from the love of God. People are drawn to God through love not a list of do’s and don’ts. If we are not careful we will become like the keepers of the law. We know the law but we have no love and compassion in demonstrating the law. Holiness is Right will hopefully return us to that fountain of love created by God. Remember the world is in trouble because we the church forgot a familiar passage. If my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land(2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV). Holiness is Right reminds us to have a close relationship with God and He will reveal himself to you. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godly, in this present world (Titus 2:12 KJV). Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God our Savior Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13 KJV). Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works (Titus 2:14 KJV). These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee (Titus 2:15 KJV).

chapter 1

Glory to God in the Highest

For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son and whomsoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

—John 3:16 KJV

Life begins when you give your heart to the Creator. God in His eminence created us to worship and adore Him. He created us to be new creatures to dwell in His sight. In His presence is the fullness of life, joy, peace, and love. He created us in His wisdom and in the power of His might that we will have life more abundantly. He created us to dwell in the fullness of His almighty righteousness and the pristine of His glory.

We give glory to God in the highest and peace on earth toward all of God’s creation. Living life to the fullest can only begin when we accept Christ and believe in Him. There is power, authority, and dominion in the presence of God. There is righteousness in serving God. There is peace in the comfort of God. There is joy insurmountable in knowing God.

Loving God with all that is within you ushers in His Spirit. His Spirit will revive you and create your enemies to serve as your footstool to serve you and fulfill the purpose God has for you in this life. Let His glory be revealed in you that others may see His good work in you and glorify God the Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:7 KJV).

Our heavenly Father seeks those who are willing vessels to serve Him. We must become obedient servants with sacrifices of praise and adoration to glorify Him. Let God be praised, for His mercy endures forever! Let God arise and all the creatures of destruction be scattered. He is the Creator of all things, and all things are made by His hands that He be glorified.

God is our strong source and resource—our strength when we are weakened by stress, pain, and disease. He speaks to the mountains, rocks, boulders, and problems in our life, and they must dissipate in the commandment of God.

He breaks every chain and yoke of bondage whenever we invite Him in our lives to dwell with us forever. I love Him, how about you? He loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son. Life to live! We must live life to the fullness of the promises of God and our Savior. The passion of God is His love for us. God is love; love is God.

Dear Children:

Write these things to my people who are called by my name. You need to humble yourselves before the throne of God. Pray without stopping as you lift your hands in reverence and worship.

Love,

the Holy One

Is He not worthy of all praise and honor?

Give Him the love and adoration that He has given to you. You were created, loved, and cultivated to worship the only true Lord God Almighty. Holy, holy, holy, is the Lamb of God. The power of God reaches every high place that exalts itself above Him. A proud look, high minded thinking, and ways of condescension, He will not receive into His kingdom. It cannot remain in His holy presence.

Who deserves more honor and praise than the one who allows you to breathe each and every day? Who deserves more than the one who makes ways out of desperate pathways? Who deserves more than the prince of Peace, the rose of Sharon, the matchless King? Who more deserves than the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—our strong tower in the rockiness of our storms?

Our God in His entire splendor deserves our praise and worship. To worship Him is to have supplication with Him—to communicate and have a common unity with the Savior. To worship Him calls us to a place of peace and humbleness to sit at His feet and be blessed. To be blessed by the Lord God Almighty! Oh to be near the throne of grace and mercy and to hear the impartation of God’s words to your ears!

There we receive His instructions of love and peace and His message of hope to save a dying soul. The beauty of His love exceeds beyond the bounds of death. He provides hope for every hopeless situation. The Savior, Jesus Christ, died to rob death the victory over the grave. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, gives us the victory whenever we ask Him to come into our hearts. Are you saved today? Do you know the Savior? Ask Him to come into your heart, to come into your life, to dwell in you, and to forgive you of all of your sins. Ask him to fill you with His loving presence and He will do just that.

If you confess your words of forgiveness with your mouth to the Lord Jesus, and if you believe in your heart with the conviction of changing that God has raised Jesus from the dead, then you can have a new and fulfilling life. With your heart you believe in a lifestyle of righteousness—and you confess salvation.

Glory to God in the highest! The angels are rejoicing over your soul. What a wonderful celebration the gift of salvation.

My Child:

Write these things to my people, glory to God in the highest. Love me, serve me, and be obedient to my words. Love me with your whole heart, which I created to love me. Embrace my laws, principles, and statutes; abide by my word, and I will abide in you. I will be your King, and you shall be my queen—my bride without a spot or wrinkle and my church that I will receive one day to take home to a place that has been prepared for you.

Love,

God

All of heaven has made preparations for you. With uplifted hands and praises on my lips I adore you, heavenly Father. You are my all and all. Lift up holy hands and exalt God the Almighty. Praise His wonderful works. Oh that man would praise Him for His goodness and wonderful works to the children of men (Psalm 107:8 KJV). Praise Him, praise Him, and praise Him.

Let every generation call on His name, the precious name of Jesus. Everyone, in time, will confess that He is truly Lord over our lives. Love Him with your whole heart, and bow down in His excellence. Know that you’re in the presence of the King. It is an honor and a privilege to be in His presence.

When we worship Him, we must do so with a posture of bowing in humble submission and subjection unto Him. Worship Him in spirit and in truth. The Spirit of God is a dwelling place of righteous fortitude, and a place where no sin can dwell or hide in darkness. The Spirit of God whispers to the natural man and confesses the commandments of God.

My Child:

Write these things to my people. Tell them I love them. Tell them I shall return soon for my church, my bride. Oh how I long to return for my children. I love my children and will return to reunite with you soon.

Great is my faithfulness unto all men, as each morning I bless you with new mercies. With new benefits and with new opportunities you are able to live a holy and righteous life.
