40 Days of Prayer-Day 29

Sanctification is righteousness by faith. It is simply looking to Jesus to manifest His righteous life of victory in our lives. Heb 12:1-2. The perfect qualities of Jesus are imparted to us as a gift, not gradually but instantly once we enter into the realization that Jesus became holiness for us. We don’t have to try to be holy. That’s imitation. We don’t have to draw from Jesus the power to be holy. When we accept righteousness by faith, Jesus imparts His holiness to us. He gives us what He has. His patience, love, holiness, faith, purity, godliness etc. This is impartation, not imitation. Our job is not to imitate but to choose to let Christ impart His virtues to us, and  believe it will happen. Then slowly but surely we begin to live a life of order, soundness, consistency, and holiness, kept by the power of God. (1 Peter 1:5). When unrighteous desires come, don’t fight them (that’s our own strength and we will surely fail). But turn to Christ who is living in us and ask Him to manifest His righteousness in us. Heb. 12:1-2. Then we simply wait in faith believing He will do it, because those who are waiting for Him will be like Him when He comes back. 1 John 3:2. PRAYER: Father baptize us with your Holy Spirit and bring truth and revival into our lives and our churches. Lead me to allow Jesus to fully manifest His righteousness in me through faith in Him. Pour out of your spirit on us and cause us grow and to come into the fullness of Christ.
