Be Holy In All You Do
As I began to write, I heard the word: INTENTIONAL.
In this season, we are in need of intentionality – not toward our own desires, but toward the desires of the Lord – through the Spirit.. Our delight, trust, and ways must be rooted in Him. As Psalm 37:3–5 reminds us, we are to “trust in the Lord… delight yourself in the Lord… commit your way to the Lord.”
We are being called into intentional holy action – actions that flow from the Holy Spirit. In 1 Peter 1, the Apostle Peter commissions God’s elect into obedience to Jesus Christ through the sanctifying work of the Spirit. I believe this commission is for us now.
“Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled (Christ-controlled); set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed… Just as He who called you is holy, so be holy IN ALL YOU DO.” 1 Peter 1:13–15
With this in mind, we are calling a 400 Gathering on Monday, August 17th, for pastors, business and ministry leaders, and intercessors connected to the vision of the 400 Gathering.
As a reminder, the 400 Gatherings are not intended to be open-invitation events, though we are deeply grateful for the enthusiasm and hunger expressed by so many. If you believe you are called to attend, we ask that you identify as either a pastor, ministry or business leader, or intercessor. For those serving as intercessors, we ask that you are intentionally and actively committed to praying into the vision and purpose of the 400 Gathering. If you are unsure whether this gathering is intended for you, please reach out to Maria at Maria@therock.org.
We are also making intentional shifts back toward the original purpose of these gatherings. They are not meant to carry the atmosphere of a conference, but rather to function as sacred assemblies—set apart unto the Lord through intentional fasting and prayer beforehand. As pastors, leaders, and intercessors gather together in unity, our desire is to pray, worship, and seek His face so that we may receive direction and Spirit-led strategy aligned with His will for Colorado. “Bringing the Church into a new understanding of holiness and righteousness that becomes a new way of life.” (from the 400 Vision)
In preparation for this gathering, I ask that you pray and fast earnestly for Colorado and for the intentional holy actions we are to accomplish in this hour. Our preemptive intentionality will position our minds to align with the intentions of Heaven over Colorado – bringing the alignment for the assignment – for heaven to invade earth.
As we align ourselves with the Father’s heart, may we be rightly positioned in humility; may we refuse the misalignments pride can produce. He is the Vine; we are the branches. He is the Head; we are one body. He is the Bridegroom; we are one bride.
Aligning with His intentions requires humility. We are called to have “the same attitude as Christ Jesus,” who “made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant” (Philippians 2:5–7). We are also called to be “of the same mind, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose…and in humility consider others above ourselves” (Philippians 2:2–3).
The resistance we may be experiencing in Colorado may not simply be the attack of the enemy. It may be the resistance of God Himself; for He resists the proud. Pride often comes in subtle forms. Andrew Murray, in his book on humility, warns: “Let all teachers of holiness, whether in the pulpit or on the platform, and all seekers after holiness, whether in the closet or the convention, take warning: there is no pride so dangerous, so subtle and insidious, as the pride of holiness.” (see next paragraph for explanation)
Romans 12:3 reminds us not to think of ourselves more highly than we ought. Yet the “pride of holiness” is an elusive mindset that we have ascended to a higher or more acceptable form of worship, revelation, or expression than others within the Body of Christ. This haughty spirit has hindered the effectiveness of the Church and fractured the unity God desires among His people. Too often, we have chosen what we perceive to be “higher” expressions of worship over the humility and unity of the Spirit. Yet true worship is not found merely in our expressions, but in our surrender. Humility expressed through unity in the Spirit is among the highest forms of worship we can offer to God.
May we therefore humble ourselves before the Lord and willingly submit to one another in love and honor so that the Lord can build the house – His Church in Colorado. “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1)
God will give grace for holy action to those who humble themselves. In oneness of heart, we will see His glory (John 17)! In dwelling together in unity, we will experience His commanded blessing (Psalm 133)!
Join us for this sacred 400 assembly on Monday, August 17th. And please RSVP for the meeting and for lunch.
I love you and am praying for oneness for all of us.
Mike Polhemus
