Chronicles 29: 15-16 “When they had assembled their
fellow Levites and consecrated themselves, they went in to purify the temple of
the Lord, as the king had ordered, following the word of the Lord. The priests went into
the sanctuary of the Lord to purify it. They
brought out to the courtyard of the Lord’s
temple everything unclean that they found in the temple of the Lord. The Levites took it and carried it out to the Kidron Valley.”
Psalm 51:1 “Have
mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing
love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.”
Ezekiel
36:25-27 “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you,
and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from
all your idols. 26 I will
give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of
stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and
cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.”
2 Corinthians 7:1 “Therefore, since we have these
promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that
contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.”
James 4:8 “Draw near to
God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse
your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
I was awakened
at 3:30 AM this morning and immediately began to pray in the spirit. This was
not an odd occurrence because for the last couple of years until the recent
changing of the guard I had been assigned to the fourth watch of the night.
As I bowed from
the weight and sorrow of what was being released during this time, a clear vision
began to materialize. Father began revealing in greater clarity what some
already know has begun to take place within the lives of His children. Father used one of my childhood homes in Wisconsin as an analogy.
In the vision, I was shown how on Saturday mornings, my mother would gather her
six children and everyone had to help clean our home from top to bottom
including the basement and backyard.
Everyone had
their own assignments and knew what they were to clean before we started. My daddy
took the clothes to the Laundromat during the times we did not have an in home
washer or dryer. The two eldest boys had
their room, the backyard and the basement. I had the kitchen, living room and
entryway. My younger sister had the only bathroom and our shared bedroom. My
two youngest brothers had their shared room and the family den upstairs.
Everyone was expected to do a through cleaning, so we could get to what we
enjoyed as a family and that was sitting down to the weekly Saturday movie
matinee and some of mama’s freshly stove popped pop corn and a tumbler of
Kool-Aid.
Because we did
this type of cleaning once a week, it was not such a difficult task. But on
occasion while cleaning depending on the season we were in we will find bugs,
and other undesirables who decided to find their final resting place in or around
our home. Because this was our home and what
we considered a place of safety, it was our job to get rid of and dispose of
those things found that did not belong. Once we finished and everything was
cleaned and put away, mama would do a walk through to make sure that what we
said lined up with what we were assigned to do. In the end we always knew everything
went well with her inspection because she would then go into the kitchen and pull
out the oil and popcorn to make huge bowls of popcorn for everyone. (End of
vision)
Now that we’ve
entered a brand new season, Father is yet continuing as before periodic house
cleaning inspections for His children. It is our responsibility both
individually and corporately to adhere to this necessary house cleaning. Not
only is this of great importance but it is imperative that we embrace this
process in an effort to stay in sync and in tune with the flow of the Father’s
spirit. Just as with any manufacturer,
Father desires that those whom He created with His very own hands are operating
and functioning in the manner for which they have been uniquely designed.
If you are not
sure of where to begin or how to start, pray and ask Holy Spirit to show you the
rooms in your home or areas around your property that may need some special
attention. This time clean house as if your destiny depended on it, for truly my
dear brothers and sisters, a time for major house cleaning is upon us.
Blessings and Love,
A Scribe of the Lord, A Scribe
for the Lord
