“So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19 NIV

“So then, surrender to God. Stand up to the devil and resist him and he will flee in agony.” James 4:7 TPT

I am coming on here because GOD desires and demands that we set a standard for holiness. We need to understand that we are children of GOD who are to set up a standard that others will see and by GOD’s grace, bring them to Christ. 

Those that are one foot in the world, one to the LORD, choose whom you will serve that you can already serve someone! The truth is this: do you love the world or do you love the LORD? May you choose the LORD wholeheartedly. The world has NOTHING FOR YOU!

GOD’s love is unfailing, greater, and can never be separated from us. GOD anger lasts for a moment but GREAT is HIS compassion! Repent! Turn! And fall into His loving arms! And trust HIM!

There is a standard that needs to be set in the church. It is definitely urgent that you armor yourself, and put a place and a time for prayer because we need to change. We need to come up higher. We need to grow up. We need the HOLY SPIRIT.

We need to repent. We need to renew our minds because GOD wants us to go further to a place where we are truly seated in the heavenly places with Jesus Christ. 

There is a season for everything. This is the season to set a standard because as you set this, it will be a foundation that will stand and therefore stand (Matthew 4:24-27). People need to know who we are in Christ, and you need to know who you truly stand for. For GOD, or the world?

Say no to ungodliness and yes to righteousness, through GOD in Christ Jesus. 

The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. So are you armored with the armor of GOD (Ephesians 6:10-18)? Do you have your weapons of warfare that are not of this world but might through GOD pull down strongholds so that you withstand the powers, schemes, and attacks of the enemy (2nd Corinthians 10:4-5)? Again, Armor yourself, walk humbly before the LORD, pray without ceasing, and grow in the WORD. 

Set a standard. Be ye holy as He is HOLY.

I have an Ebook on Amazon that talks about biblical boundaries. It may seem basic but if you have not set the appropriate biblical foundation to stand and therefore stand in faith, then you may read this. Make sure you grab your bible, pens, and notebook, and allow the Holy Spirit to be your Helper as you read it.
