Does Faith work by Holiness?

Faith works by love, But Jesus was anointed with power according to the Spirit of Holiness. Turns out that faith works better when unencumbered by misc. guilt. In other words it is easier to believe with a clear conscious. Mark 11:23-24 followed by 25&26 having to do with forgiveness. Trouble is the things we don't forgive are the very things that we are still guilty of performing. It is the old one finger out three fingers back at ya! It is a  quantum easier to forgive another of something that you have  truly been forgiven  ; what do you think????
The interaction between love and forgiven sin is remarkable. because the love of the father is experienced by realizing forgiven sin, He who has been forgiven much has great love, the walk in holiness makes it easier to believe that the sin is forgiven. also the habit of abiding in him John 8:31-35 prevents bondage to habitual sin. The holier the life the more confidence that the prayer of faith is HEARD. In hearing we know have the answer. Since Holiness is an unreachable goal, the victory is in the effort not the attainment. Faith bridges the gap between the present and the goal. So your faith will work not by Holiness but by faith in the Life of holiness. This Holiness presumes a Law. The law is to be the target, not an attainment. If  one is a not very cleaned fish but targeting the life of Holiness, Faith works. If one has walked many years in Faith and has a few issues worked out, Faith still works by remembering that first forgiveness (First-Love).

Prayer or Worship???

Prayer or Worship??? In the math sense it is both / either...
Like Paul noted: Seek  the  best gifts, and which would that be? He never said. But actually He did say, the best gift is the one that is needed at the time. The same is true of true Temple Worship/ Prayer: What ever is needed at the time. As the cycle of life in the Book of Judges pictures, Life is a  cycle of both extremes, times of great triumph and times of despair. After triumph Worship is the thing. Really it is only experienced in truth after a victory. Prayer is needed when the world we have made is crashing all around us. When we are up we worship. When we are down we pray. The secret to on going success is to worship in faith when the sky  is dark, and pray in faith knowing that even the triumph does not for ever last. By merging the two an even and moderated life will emerge when the highs are not too high nor the lows too low.
