IN GOD’S LIGHT COMES TOTAL CLEANSING

January 12

hildren of Righteousness, do you know what it means to be clean in the presence of your Father in Heaven. Few people know how to walk in continual cleansing and holiness. In fact, you hear very little preaching and teaching on this subject around the world in Christian circles. Perhaps it is because my children are so accustomed to being affected by the works of darkness in the atmosphere around them that this clean life seems to be a near-impossible experience. This is a lie! Indeed, you cannot by any means make yourself clean, only the action of the Holy Spirit in your heart, mind and life can impart to you this cleansing. With prayer you will have the "sprinkled" blood of the Lord Jesus applied to your spirit and soul and you will experience the true sense and joy of saying, "Father, I am clean by the blood that Jesus shed for me!" Repeat that last phrase several times! As you declare yourself clean in Jesus' name, I release from the Fountain of Blood a pure and holy stream to wash over your mind and soul and truly purge you in the presence of your Father. Isn't that good news? Yes, it is! Now, call upon the Lord saying, "Father, no matter how hard I try I seem to get dirty again and again! In the name of the Lord Jesus you said, “Be holy just as your Father in Heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48 NKJV) Father, have you asked of us an impossible thing? Child of the King, the good news is this cleansing and holy lifestyle is not of your doing, but rather is an impartation from your Father through His Holy Spirit. "The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made you free from the law of sin and death!"(Romans 8:2) Child of God, the first step to living out a life of cleansing and holiness is for you to simply request that life of your Father. Second, believe that your Father can empower you to be more and more like His Son Jesus each day. Soon and very soon, you indeed will gradually love what your Father loves (righteousness and cleansing) and hate what your Father hates (works of uncleanness and pollution). Soon, you will literally rejoice that your Father sends to you the precious Holy Spirit and increases your joy in being clean and pure before the throne of Righteousness in Christ Jesus. Good news!

Prayer

Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, I have been blind. I thought that I was sentenced to a lifetime of uncleanness and strife within myself. Only you can give me clean hands and a pure heart according to your promise in the Bible. I bless and worship you. "With man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible."(Mark 10:27) In Jesus’ name I give you praise, amen!
