Holiness

Holy

We begin our earthly journey in the active world of doing—achieving, striving, building. This motion carries us into a world of dreams and imagination, where the soul begins to stir. Then, in still moments among the trees, the sea, or the silence of the desert, we are drawn into a heavenly reality.

The phrase “opening up the heavens” or “an open heaven” has taken on new meaning in this place. To become one with God requires surrender so deep it leads to worldly invisibility. When everything fades—when even identity dissolves—and you're left bare in pure nothingness, oneness can arise. It is through this nothingness that God is revealed.

Finding your way back to yourself is really finding your way back to the oneness of God within you. In the inner sanctuary, you reunite with your true self. Beyond thoughts, desires, and distractions, God is fully present—alive in you, and you in Him. And you will go out no more (Revelation 3:12).

God has already created what we call "the future." In that future, life is not just continued—it is completely restored. Made new. To be fully restored is to be holy. And to be holy is to live in union with what God created: including the sacred dwelling place within your soul.

When the inner sanctuary is touched, light overflows into the outer world. Resurrection! The enclosed garden of the soul becomes the place where God dwells. You are now standing at the summit of Mount Carmel—His sacred mountain.

That was the journey: to move past every idol, every shadow in the soul, and arrive at the summit of holiness.And as you stand there, these words take on their full meaning:

“And I will dwell with my people.”
