Requisite for living where Christ has gone to prepare for us, Bible believing believers.

Requisite for living where Christ has gone to prepare for us, Bible believing believers

John  14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Jesus Christ our Master and Lord has gone to heaven to prepare a befitting place for us, His loving brides.

John  14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

He prayed for us to come and meet Him there.

John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

He informed us to follow Him wholeheartedly here , so that we can end up living with Him.

John  12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

However, the only believers that will partake in the imminent rapture are those who are biblically sanctified.

1 Thessalonians  5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians  5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,  5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

This is because only sanctified saints shall have access to heaven.

 The  reason for this is because everyone in heaven are holy beings.

God the Father, God the Son,  Spirit of God, are holy. The angels of God are holy. The inhabitants of heaven are saints and holy.

God the Father 

Exodus  15:11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

God the Son 

Acts  4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,  4:30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

Spirit of God  or Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost.

Romans  1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Holy angels

Matthew  25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Heaven is holy.

Psalms  20:6 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

Holy people alone shall have access to heaven.

Psalms  24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?  24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

So to partake in the imminent rapture, biblical holiness lifestyle is a compulsion.

Listen to what the scriptures say.

Hebrews  12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

1 Peter  1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in   ignorance:  1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;  1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

2 Peter  3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.  3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

How will it be done?  This is very very important.

Today’s churchgoers wants the Holy Spirit to do everything without their participation and they are biblically wrong.

How will it be done?

2 Corinthians  7:1 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.

You will take your need for cleansing to God in prayers, beseeching Him, to cleanse you with the precious blood of our Master and Lord Jesus Christ.

1 John  1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

It is you that will do it with the precious blood of Jesus, not the Holy Spirit 

1 John  3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

You will cleanse yourself 

You will purify yourself 

How will it be received when you do it?

Acts  15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

You do it by faith.

Biblical holiness lifestyle is a compulsion and requisite for you to partake in the imminent rapture.

Have you been made holy biblically?

If you have, continue to walk in daily biblical holiness lifestyle till Christ comes.

Luke  1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

If you have not.  The first thing is to be biblically saved this is because holiness is the second work of grace.

So after you have been biblically saved, you ask the Lord to use the precious blood of Jesus to cleanse and  make you holy.

Remember, only those that are biblically holy will partake in the imminent rapture.

Hebrews  12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

1 Peter  1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:  1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;  1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Jesus our. Master and Lord has gone to prepare a good place for us,  let us endeavor to walk in biblical Holiness lifestyle for us to live there in Jesus name.

John  14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Let us pray.
