Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     What is Holy Living?
     It is a Holy Walk.
     So many would love to take a short cut and go directly to the Presence of the Lord 
without obedience and submission.
     It does not work.
     The Lord has called a People to be His Own, and He has made it clear He wants
to be in control.  There can be no mixture.  There can be nothing hidden.
     There can be absolutely nothing except the  putting of everything behind and 
proceeding as though there were no agenda but His.
     Because, in fact, anything else is foolish and leads to blindness, and to the fleshly 
experience of spiritual death.
     Soldierof the Cross,  come before Him.   Outloud.   Speak as honestly as you can
 in the understanding. 
     Perhaps you can lecture for hours on what it means to be holy, but no living 
person has ever had the complete revelation - that is why we must be led.
     We must be led of the Spirit into correction.
     We must be led of the Spirit into Love.
     We must be led of the Spirit into Service.
     We must be led of the Spirit into and through Devotions.
     We must be led of the Spirit into and by prayer.
     We must be led of the Spirit into healing.
     We must be led of the Spirit into obedient behavior that is not humanly possible.
     Soldier are you listening?  You are already dead to all else.
     Do you agree?  The Bible says it.  You must consider yourself dead to all except
Him.  He alone is desirable.
     He alone is Fullness.
     He is enough.
     Like the old hymn says:

       I need no other argument,
       I need no other plea:
       It is enough that Jesus died,
       And that He died for me.
