The message uses the example of the Aaronic priesthood from Exodus 28 and 29, where the priest bore the names of Israel on his shoulders and heart to minister before God. The talk argues that in the New Covenant, believers have been made a holy priesthood and are to be separate for the purpose of ministering to God and interceding for others. The discussion uses passages from Isaiah, Psalm 51, Romans 12, and 1 Peter to illustrate that our holiness and separation are not for our own glory but for the sake of bringing others to God. The speaker also shares a personal testimony about how a revelation of holiness transformed his understanding and brought immense joy.---- Holiness is defined as "separateness," with a purpose that is greater than ourselves.- The aaronite priesthood bore the names of the children of Israel on precious stones on their shoulders and heart as a "memorial" before God.- As New Covenant believers, we are called to be a priesthood and bear the names of others in intercessory prayer.- Taking God's name in vain can mean profaning it by not living as a person separated to Him.- Isaiah's encounter with the seraphim and a burning coal on his lips highlights that holiness and removal of iniquity precede being sent by God.- David's prayer in Psalm 51 shows that he sought to be made holy by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of teaching transgressors.- Paul's statement about "filling up that which is lacking in Christ's afflictions" is connected to our participation in the suffering of others through intercession.- Being a "living and holy sacrifice" is our spiritual service of worship and the reason for the renewing of our mind.---The video concludes by asserting that many people lose the battle against sin because they are ignorant of the enemy's devices, especially when it comes to iniquity. The ultimate takeaway is that iniquity is a generational spiritual stronghold that can have dominion over a person, making them essentially powerless against a sin pattern in their life. The speaker challenges listeners to recognize that the biggest way Satan takes jurisdiction in our lives is through iniquity, but the answer to it is Jesus Christ.---#Holiness #Theology #BiblicalInterpretation #DrMichaelDavis #Christianity #SpiritualGrowth #Priesthood #IntercessionWhat is the purpose of holiness?
