Purify
Purify-----to make or become pure
Pure----unmixed with any other matter; innocent; free from moral fault; uncontaminated with dross or evil.
Purge----to cleanse thoroughly; separate
Sanctification--to make holy, to consecrate, to separate from the world, and be set apart from sin in order that we may have close fellowship with God.
Fact: The Power of God will only operate to the fullest through a sanctified vessel!
Many have appeared to have done great things in the name of the Lord but have not lived holy lives. This is the time of manifesting the real from the false. The true righteous believers will flourish but the ungodly shall cease. Those who are not willing to be purged from all ungodliness will fall by the way. The godly will increase in strength as they are tested.
We must know the times in which we live are changing but God's Word does not change. God has a pattern in which He operates. His purpose is to bring the church to perfection (maturity)
by purifying its members. This purifying only comes through tests. Our sincerity is tested. Our genuity is tested. Our works are tested. Our faith is tried. All to prove who we are in Christ Jesus. Are you experiencing the heat of this purification process. God will only use a soldier He can trust. If you can endure the test according to Gods word, you will be entrusted with more responsibility in His kingdom. Kingdom advancement comes through overcoming the obstacles.

Scripture: Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

It is God's will and purpose for us to be a people set apart for His works by living pure lives.
James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
If we want to be used of God in this last hour, we must be willing and submissive to the cleansing process. God will not have unclean vessels presenting Him to the world.

2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Corinthians 6:16-18

How anyone could teach or believe that God approves unrighteous living and does not hold us guilty for our sins is beyond me. The Word of God is clear on the matter of sanctification and clean living.

The wicked are increasing but so are the righteous. (Daniel 12:10) Proverbs 9:9 Proverbs 1:5

Fact: God wants us to increase.
There are different levels of maturity in the body.
