Sanctification is the process by which the believer is separated from sin and becomes dedicated to God''s righteousness. Accomplished by the Word of God (John 17:7) and the Holy Spirit (Rom 8:3-4), Sanctification results in holiness, or purification from guilt and power of sin. (Nelson''s Illustrated Bible Dictionary, copyright 1986) Jesus has removed our sins, we are seated with Him in heavenly places. This is our position in Christ. We have been forgiven as a sinner and given eternal life, but we still need to do the ''work'' of sanctification.What if you could accomplish much of the work in a few weeks?     Do you know the ABC''s of the Kingdom?A. Jesus taught us to pray: forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sinned against us?     Have we listed our sins and asked God to forgive us?     Have we listed those who hurt or betrayed us and forgiven them?B. By not resolving our past hurts, broken relationships, shameful acts before or after receiving Christ; we continue to feel bad about ourselves and are afraid of being judged and our reputation damaged. This uses up emotional energy from worry and to keep it hidden. We aren''t free to be who God made us to be.C. Unbelief and trust in God hindered the Israelites, just as it does US today. God can show us the lies that have shaped our mindset, and renew our thinking into a New Belief System and closer to our loving Father.This workbook will help accelerate your spiritual growth and show how to eliminate the enemy''s lies about God and ourselves.  This gives us deeper peace, self-confidence and love for Jesus and Joy for what He has done for us.This transformational book presents many compelling lists to inspire readers to self-identify and perform self-evaluations. Readers will stay absorbed as the book is well-written, and have a sense of closure as they finish the book. (Manuscript Review 2014, Xulon Publishers)
