The Cleansing Power of God

Lord make us Clean

Every day because of what we are contending against with this virus that has come, I am hearing about washing hands, keeping hands clean, using hand sanitizer and hearing about what the deadly results could be if I don't. This has brought back many memories of dreams and visions and encounters in the spirit from over the last 10 years or so.

When I first began to learn about the things of the spirit I knew from what the Lord had taught me that I had to be a clean vessel. The bible says that sweet water and bitter water can't pour from the same spout. (James 3:11) I was constantly asking the Lord to make me clean and I was constantly having experiences related to that. 

I remember one dream I had where our swimming pool was a giant washing machine and I was stuck in it in a wash cycle. If that wasn't strange enough, suddenly 2 vacuum cleaners appeared in the pool. I had numerous dreams about washing my hair and once in the dream I was washing my hair with red wine.

I had a incredible vision one night about a white top loading washer that was so overwhelming I wrote 2 pages of the details. (this was during a conference I attended in Ohio) I also had a prophet appear to me once in the spirit and tell me "Stay pure and God will make you holy." It really reminded me that the work was the Lord's to do but I had a choice to make as well. Do you really want to wash and sanitize your hands? Who will ascend the hill of the Lord? I bet you know the answer. (Psalm 24:3-4)

I had dream after vision after encounter based on being made clean. There was one very disturbing "side effect" of this asking the Lord to make me clean. It seemed like every time I asked for greater cleansing and sanctification all hell would break loose in my life. I would have battles come up before me that I never dreamed could happen. That's not fair! Is it? 

God wants us to be clean and He has made a way. The bible says that He, Christ has taken our sin and given us His righteousness. So should we stop asking for greater cleansing? No, just the opposite. Lay hold of the washing of the water of the word. Tell the Lord "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." Confess our sins, and know that he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Allow the Lord to do this work in you. He's ready.
