Good Morning Washed One!

Ephesians 5:26 NKJV
that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word.”

Let’s imagine this for a moment, something is dirty and needs to be cleaned, it could be you, your thoughts, your mouth and/or your heart, are it could be something else. Just like every single day you have laundry and sometimes it seems like it will never end! Why? Because every day you change you are using something or changing clothes and when you pull it off, it is dirty and needs to be washed.

So how do you clean yourself and your stuff? First you need some water and then you will need some soap or other cleaning products to get the dirt out! In biblical times dirty clothes represent the sin in your life and it needed to be washed and so do we, we all need to be spiritually washed and cleansed! The same way you clean your natural things, you have to clean your mind, mouth and heart and you do that by washing yourself in the Word of God! God’s Word is the cleanser that gets into your heart and mind and enables you to emerge from wrongful thinking, motives and behaviors, that come to try you, you become, dirt-free, and pure!

We all know how God feels about sin, so stop saying that you have no sin, for we all have sinned and fell short of the Glory of God, (Romans 3:23) and we can’t clean ourselves, stop trying! Repent and confess your sins to God, (John 1:6-9) and He will forgive you, put your hope in the provision of God and Thank Him for His Grace and Mercy! Now you have been released from the burden, it’s a new day and season, welcome the peace of God! For God is the Source of all of your cleansing! Pull off your dirty clothes (sin) and be washed in the Blood of Jesus, this is the best cleanser ever, it will never fail you! Get this into your heart, God offers you His forgiveness and removal of your sin and guilt. We are saved by His Grace and Mercy!

I know that today’s scripture comes from how a husband is to love his wife, but it also for us, because Jesus is the bridegroom and He is coming back for His church, (the bride) which is you and me, the ones that confess Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and because of our confession we have received eternal life. Jesus Christ, has chosen you to be His bride, so now is the time for you to be washed and washed thoroughly in His Word.  His Word will cleanse you and help you, He is coming back for His glorious church, no spots, wrinkles or blemishes, you must be living Holy and Righteous lives, and only the Word of God can cleanse you and make you ready!

The Word says in John 15:3, that “You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.” Once you are clean, you will start to understand the depth and richness of God’s Heart for you and the truth of His Word removes the grime and dirt from your life. The washing of His Word puts you back into the center of His Will!

I have a question for you today, will you allow the Word to do its job and wash you so that you will be ready to meet Him when He comes?

Let’s Pray:
Father, today I confess my sins to You, I want to be washed in Your Word. Father, I need a refreshing shower with Your Word. Search my heart, O God, and cleanse my spirit and remove from me anything that is not like You, make me over Lord into whatever You want me to be. I Thank You for Your cleansing and forgiveness and I’m walking in Your peace In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Blessings…
