Are you Different? He is Jehovah M' Kaddesh
God desires to manifest his holiness in your life, to live in us, but he will not reside where there is evil. That is why he reveals himself as the One who sanctifies you. Sanctify means to set apart, consecrate or dedicate, to be holy. If you have received Jesus as your Lord, you are sanctified in the Father’s eyes, but he desires to see your present life sanctified as well.

Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV) I. PUT OFF THE OLD "Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.
