When there is loss of understanding of the holiness of God, it will result in unholiness within the church. You can have communion with God, and always be in tune with His voice.To be holy is crucial to living the Christian life, and without holiness, no one will see the Lord ( Hebrews 12:14).

By obeying Him, you can live the faithful life that you have longed for. He can give you strength, help, comfort and guidance. The Holy Spirit has many things to tell you. He said, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” John 14:26. Jesus described the Spirit that would come after He left. The Spirit can guide you through all things, which is a tremendous comfort, and a good reason why He is also called the Comforter. By being obedient to God’s Word and what He works in your heart, you can tune your ear, so that you can hear more and more clearly. But, the Spirit will guide you in the right direction. It’s not something mystical, where you sit and meditate and hear this “mystical voice” telling you what to do. If you have the Holy Spirit, He can actually make things very clear for you. He is called the Spirit of Truth, The Helper and the Teacher, and He can train you in righteousness and give you all the power you need to live a victorious life! He can also show you things that you need to be cleansed from, unconscious sin: things that you weren’t necessarily aware of. So the Holy Spirit can be a guide for you, showing you your own sin and giving you power to overcome the sin you are conscious of. He knows Jesus’ footsteps, who, when He was a man like us, never sinned, despite being tempted in all things. But, the Holy Spirit does know, because He was together with Jesus throughout His entire life. There is nobody who knows everything, right from the start. And that is the primary purpose of the Holy Spirit: to give us power and help to totally overcome sin, something that is impossible by human nature! (Romans 8:1-17) Unlimited help and guidance

He also said, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you …” Acts 1:8. When Jesus was on earth, He promised that after His departure, He would send the Helper, The Holy Spirit. In the Bible we can read that these lusts must not only be denied, but “crucified,” or “put to death.” (Romans 8:13 Galatians 5:24 Colossians 3:5) But we are simply not capable of completely overcoming these destructive lusts and desires in our own strength.

The fact of the matter is that we all have a corrupt human nature, full of lusts and desires that strive against God’s will. In Psalm 51 we read that he sorrowed over his sin and repented from it, but he didn’t have the power necessary to overcome it. (2 Samuel 11-12) And David was a good, good man we’re not talking about just anybody. These lusts and desires led him into physical transgression. When it came to his own desires, covetousness and lust of the eyes, he simply couldn’t overcome. He was described as a man after God’s own heart, and even he couldn’t manage a life of complete victory over sin. When you face the desires that arise from inside and the thoughts that come in the time of temptation, your own human abilities, your character traits and your best intentions can only help so much, regardless of how “good” they are. But there’s one commandment that has to do with the inner life, and nobody can see if you’re transgressing it or not: “You shall not covet.” Covetousness is an inward desire, and since nobody can see what happens in your thoughts, not even the law can “arrest” you for that.Īnd, there, it’s like you hit a wall. And you can manage a good bit of self-control over what people see, or that which is outward. Your conscience can help you to a certain point. You can gain a sense of what is right and wrong, according to your upbringing or surroundings. There are limits to what you can manage on your own. You can have the best desire in the world.

It doesn’t matter how good your intentions are it’s impossible to come to the life the Scriptures speak about on your own.
