The Lord is Holy: The Calling

I dreamt I was walking along the street repeating repeatedly “The Lord is Holy, The Lord is Holy” These words were repeated for as long as I walked the road that the Lord set my feet on.  As I traveled, I came upon an area with movie theaters. Hundreds of people were lined up to enter. The line was five people wide. The length endless as I look in the distance. As I approached the line the people heard me saying, the Lord is holy, and separate themselves so I could pass through their midst. As I passed through the midst of the people and reach the other side, a young man approached me and said, “You can’t go up their saying that.” I looked straight into his eyes and say. “Just watch me” I walked away from him and repeat “The Lord is holy” I found myself on an unpaved road climbing up a hill. As I started up the hill, my dentures fell out and were broken into small peace.

I began to complain in anger to the Lord about the broken dentures and how people would not understand what I am saying. In a stand of reluctance to go because people will not understand what I am saying. I stood in the path moaning about the broken denture in my hand and would not move. The Lord said to me sternly. “It is not you speaking. It is my Spirit speaking through you.” Those few words gave me comfort and courage to continue the journey. As I traveled I met many people on the way some startle and disgusted, and wanted nothing to do with me. Some moving to the edge of the road to get out of my way while others were very angry at the message I was carrying and others pay no attention. I traveled a steep hill to the top where I enter a building that worshipers gathered for morning service. I entered the door way and shouted “The Lord is Holy” The people that knelt at the altar in a state of prayer were all robed in white. In response to the words I spoke they turned to look at me with hate filled eyes and unspoken words that says “who do you think you are to come tell us that the Lord is Holy,” words that was revealed to my spirit as they stare in disgusts. As I stood observing the behavior of the people that bowed at the altar praying they claim to God, the very same people looks at me with such disdain and contempt. I began to pondering in my mind their attitude toward the call to holiness. As I stood there a man came and stood at my left side. As He stood there without saying a word, my eyes were opened and I saw all manner of sin bowing at the altar. A bottle of white rum with unbroken seal rolled out from its hiding place and was distinctively pointed out to me. The man at my side then spoke and said,  

“There are people here bowing at the altar that was in this very place at a dance last night and here they bow before me robed in white without repentance.”  

He continued; “I am sick of this give out a calling. Those who are on the Lord Side, come and follow me”  

As quietly as he came and stood beside me, he left me standing there in waiting for those who will recognize their sinful state and heed the call and follow God’s way of Holiness. I waited for a long time and was just about to leave when seven people stood to their feet and began to walk away from the place they knelt in sin. I awoke from my vision weeping before the Lord, because I recognized for the first time my unholy state. Lying awake in bed crying I knew the presence of the Lord was right there at the side of my bed. I prayed and weep uncontrollably asking the Lord not to let me carry this message, because I was not worthy. The uncleanness and filthiness I felt was so extreme I could not touch my own body with my hand. The Lord is holy and has called every believer to holiness. His call is not for some but for all. Every person in that room that had gathered to worship was called to holiness and every person that name the name of Jesus is called to the same. 

The Lord does not appreciate believers coming to his altar with no desire to repent of their sin. He is not satisfied with outer purity or a form of godliness for this form of worship is a denial of God’s holiness. Our actions should never be in denial of God’s holy way. They should be the light of his glory in the earth. These who bow at the altar praying were denying that God was holy and expects them to be holy. But denial of God state and ours in contradiction to what God calls us to be, changes nothing. The Lord is holy and is saying to believers everywhere. Outer purity is out ward works that we show to the world, but God sees deeper than man sees and will not accept us in such a state.
