CLEANSE ME OH LORD
Psalm 51:1-2 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.
We as Christians must allow Christ to Penetrate every fiber of our being, as we take our mind back in time when we first allowed the guiding hand of the Master, to take full control, in the transformation of our Character because if we allow our our focus to be distracted, dirt will accumulate in our life, and move from the presence of God.
So this tells me that in order for our heart and thought pattern to remain pure, we indeed need the purifying power of God’s Word and The blood of Jesus Christ that cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 says The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” “There is a stream that flows from Calvary, A crimson tide so deep and wide. It washes whiter than the purest snow.
And if we keep our eyes stayed on Christ as we continue to allow Him to transform our heart and Character like His, we will one day soon have the blessing of seeing Christ. John tells us in Revelation 22:12-14 “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.”Matt. 5:8 tells us Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Remember God’s Word is like a mirror to our lives. but we must realize as we look into that mirror today, how far short we have fallen from the glory and purity of God and of the high standard set for us, which is the cross. The believer who longs for personal revival clings to what can be personally painful and difficult in the cross of Christ. Carrying a cross confronts ungodly attitudes, carnal living, and selfish motives. It keeps us in line with what Jesus want’s to do in our lives. The secret of true obedience is having a close and personal relationship with God. Any other attempts to do otherwise will only amount to failure. We must have total access to the abiding fellowship and love of Jesus Christ, and that only comes through continuously Studying His Word while allowing a full and complete transformation from our life to the Character of Christ.
His Word must be a part of every thought, activity, conversation, and motive, of our life, until our lifestyle magnifies Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Nothing can ever be about us when Christ takes full control. Sometimes change is painful because we are so use to doing it our way,
God has told us In His Word what we need to do to have A total Transformation. and that is we must have a personal revival that takes place in our lives. There are some who claim to be Christian but refuse to give it all to the Master. They tell themselves, I only look at house wife’s of Atlanta and Scandal i’m not hurting anyone. But God needs your undivided attention, not part of it.
It must be all about Him. You see we have this idea, as long as I am a Good Person what I watch on TV, or see at the show, or spend my money on, or gossip about, should not matter. I study my Sabbath school, or Sunday school lesson, I read the bible. But if the convicting voice of Gods Spirit abides in us we know what Christ will for us is.
In Numbers 32:23 it says “But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.” And if we choose to close our mind to his voice one day that voice will no longer be there and it will become harder and harder to find our way back to the abiding love and grace of Jesus Christ.
So today “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
