Advent Study – DAY 16
HOPE – Obeying Jesus
Celebrating the
WORDS and TRUTHS
of God for
“Obeying”
“Obeying” Words: What does it mean to “Obey”? Another word would be “sanctification”, or being “cleansed”. It is the freedom for righteousness we get when we “CLEAN UP” our lives from the bondage of sin and self-will. Other words could include purification, cleansing, made holy, set-apart, consecration (also used in Praise & Enjoy), second-blessing, purification, and filled-with-the-Holy Spirit.
Take 5 Minutes to Read the WORD/TRUTH about the “Obeying” Bulbs: These are only selections. Look up the verses around them. Realize that they all fit together in some way.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, ...”
