Craig's Helps to Holiness

Ahhhh! Relaxation in the Birmingham airport! I love airports. Everything just becomes the background and turns to white noise so easily for me at airports. Traveling is so second nature to me, that sitting in an airport, is like a second living-room. A really BIG living-room. With lots of stangers in my living-room. But good strangers. As if everyone's just there for whenever I want to talk to them and say whatever the heck I want. It's great!

The LORD really speaks to me while I'm just sitting there, and fills my mind up with CRAZY stuff. Like this:


Is being holy the same as being blameless? This may be so. Just perhaps hard to accept. For someone to say with all humbleness&honesty, with a contrite heart, "I just wants to do what's right" & they're doing it. Does thet make one holy? Is this like entering into holiness or something? I don't think we become holy little by little, or get closer & closer to becoming holy. We receive the "Gift" as some may say, of holiness when we receive Christ! & When we receive the Holy Spirit! How else would the Holy Spirit be in us. God cannot, will not, dwell in anything UNholy. In order to continue in doing right, being sensitive and obedient the Spirit and being likeminded with Him and being able to overcome,
we must continue to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Stay soaked. Don't get out from underneath of the waterfall. OR "...like a tree planted by streams of water..." (Psalm numero uno).

A while back my dear brother, asked out-of-the-blue just, "Are you Holy? Have you received the gift of Holiness?" And I was all like "Dude . . . yeah!" And he was like "Praise the LORD! That's awesome!"

Just some thought jotted down before the flight. And just for fun, I'll add that the LORD led me to share this with an elderly couple that let me have the window seat next to them on the plane! They were Lutherans.

Thanks for readin'
