In the Right Place with God

1.  Manner and purpose of being holy – defining holy living

• Numbers 15:37-41
• Manner of consecration – walk within the boundaries of God’s holiness, His commandments and words
• Purpose of consecration – so that we will not be misled by the desire of our flesh and deceived
• Aim of consecration – do it because we love God, do it for Him, to please Him and not to please men (Ananias and Sapphira – Acts 5:1-4)

2.  Holiness, witness and ministry

• When the children of God lives out a holy life, it reflects the character of the Father
• When the children of God shows their love for God, it demonstrates the loving Father and child relationship
• Effective ministry flows out from powerful witness, and powerful witness flows out from holy living

3.  Holiness and anointing

• Matthew 9:20-22
• Holiness and anointing is inseparable – Jesus’ anointing for healing is connected with holy living
• Anointing for ministry is God’s personal empowering to the minister, every minister ministers to the person as Jesus would (Mark 5:30)

与神同一阵线

1.  成为圣洁的方式和目的 – 圣洁生活的定义

• 民数记15：37-41
• 被分别为圣的方式 – 行在神的圣洁、诫命和话语的范围中
• 被分别为圣的目的 – 好让我们不被自己的血气误导和蒙骗
• 被分别为圣的目标 – 这么做因为我们爱神，为了他而做，要讨他的喜悦而不是讨人的喜悦（亚拿尼亚和撒非喇 – 徒5：1-4）

2.  圣洁，见证和事工

• 当神的儿女活出一个圣洁的生命，这反映出天父的品格
• 当神的儿女表达他们对神的爱，这显示出父子爱的关系
• 有效的事奉自然而然由有力的见证流露出来，而有力的见证乃是由圣洁的生命流露出来
