(2 Corinthians 6:17 NIV) Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
(Isaiah 52:10 NIV) The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God. ** LOCAL PHRASE of Isaiah’s time means HE will display his power, roll up sleeve and get to work**
(Isaiah 52:11-12 NIV) Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure, you who carry the articles of the LORD’s house. But you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the LORD will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard. (You are not leaving for fear or isolation)
I live differently because. . .
√ I carry His PRESENCE.
(1 Corinthians 6:19 NIV) Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? ….
(Matthew 18:12-13 NIV) “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.
(Philippians 2:13 NIV) for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
I live differently because. . .
√ I carry His PURPOSE.
(Isaiah 58:6-8 NIV) “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter– when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
(Isaiah 52:13-15 MSG) “Just watch my servant blossom! Exalted, tall, head and shoulders above the crowd! But he didn’t begin that way. At first everyone was appalled. He didn’t even look human— a ruined face, disfigured past recognition. Nations all over the world will be in awe, taken aback, kings shocked into silence when they see him. For what was unheard of they’ll see with their own eyes, what was unthinkable they’ll have right before them.”
√ I carry His PASSION. (LOVE)
(John 15:12-13 NIV) My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
(Luke 19:10 NIV) For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
