Faith To Faith 9 March 2020 Devotional – The Habit of Holiness, written by Gloria Copeland
TODAY’S TOPIC: THE HABIT OF HOLINESS
SCRIPTURE: He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. – John 14:21
There’s a dimension of living you can only experience when you make a decision to please the Father in every activity of your life. In that dimension, Jesus becomes real to you and manifests Himself to you.
Just after the turn of the 20th century, God poured out His Spirit and started a revival on Azusa Street. It was an awesome time, a time when people’s entire lives were turned inside out. Everything else in their world seemed to lose importance. Supernatural things were happening. God was manifesting Himself in their presence.
The people involved in that revival soon began to be known to the world as “holiness” people. They got that title because they were so obviously different from everyone else. They would let go of anything they thought didn’t please God. They were so caught up in the power of the spiritual realm, they lost interest in natural things.

Few believers today even know what “holiness” means. Even fewer understand the outpouring of God that comes to those who dare to step into it.
Holiness simply means “separated to God.” It’s what you do with your life day by day. It’s ordering your conduct according to the Word of God and the promptings of the Spirit. Holiness is the habit of being one mind with God, of turning away from the ways of the world and living instead in agreement with Him. Holiness doesn’t happen to anyone by accident. It requires a decision of the will. Make that decision today.
Love God with all your heart by keeping His commandments. He’ll show His love to you by manifesting Himself to you in powerful new ways. He’ll pour Himself out on you just like He did on those believers at Azusa Street—and revival will truly begin in you.
Scripture Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8
