“By His mighty power, let us all be cleansed and finish strong, heading into a bright future and eternity. Amen!” — F. Lugo
**RECEIVE THE BLESSING**
Beloved, grace and peace to you in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, giving you wisdom and revelation to what is true cleansing that saves the soul.
This year ending, I desire that none of you get caught up in the foolishness of cleaning your house up to have a year of “good luck” yet your soul is as black as tar...
I too, have fell under this trap and curse, listening to the foolish and ignorant beliefs of others that unknowingly thought they were doing something good, yet I am truly blessed that the veil of ignorance from this world was removed from me and now I can see and now I can hear!
What I see is that “good luck” is merely a crutch and scapegoat for all people who do not care to take responsibility for themselves, in that, their souls are black as tar before God’s presence, yet they continue on in life as if it doesn’t matter. A stained reality that cannot be cleansed by cleaners, detergents or no amount of sweeping, mopping and organizing. This I have known, and for the audience God has placed before me: those to whom listen from a broken heart and contrite spirit, let it be your great joy and immense pleasure as now it is mine, to know that you are in need of God who cleanses us and restores us. Let His grace and His forgiveness, be your true delight! Amen.
What I hear is the delusional words that lead to delusional actions that although the outside may seem clean to all (in that we clean, organize, throw away what we can see and what is tangible), the inside that leads to true cleansing of oneself and their very soul being saved, goes year after year, collecting that proverbial “dust” and it begins to rust and decay and what is the end result? A life that was meant to have purpose and fulfillment has been stolen and mark as condemned! Beloved, let this not be you!
Now this year that ends and the new year that is rapidly making haste to be here, you in this moment, have the opportunity to seek true cleansing. Not of the outward appearance that can cast distorted illusions as a mirror does, but true cleansing that can only come through Jesus Christ.
If we confess our sins (true cleansing from the inside out), He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
His blood, just as what we have come to know as a blood transfusion that replaces our decaying life with a new and incorruptible life, is the blood that cleanses us of all unrighteousness and places us in a position of right standing with God. Amen.
TRUE CLEANSING
For He (God) made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin for us (our cleansing), that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21 emphasis added by me).
The next day John saw Jesus (our cleansing agent) coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29 emphasis added by me).
But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
But He was wounded for our transgressions (our cleansing), He was bruised for our iniquities (our cleansing); the chastisement for our peace was upon Him (our cleansing), and by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5 emphasis added by me).
For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son (our cleansing), that whoever believes in Him (our cleansing), should not perish but have everlasting life (our cleansing). For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:16-17 emphasis added by me).
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord (our cleansing) will be saved (Romans 10:13 emphasis added by me).
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation (our cleansing), taking the form of a bondservant (our cleansing), and coming in the likeness of men (our cleansing). And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross (our cleansing!) Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name (our cleansing), that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:5-11 emphasis added by me).
Therefore, true purpose and true fulfillment are not these tangible things, experiences, destinations that we stumble after to achieve, but it is in knowing (to fully comprehend, embrace, adhere to, walk in, gaze upon, perceive, discern, recognize and observe) that Jesus Christ is Lord! And only through Him, we can all be truly cleansed that not only our outside appearance (the way we live) will be a pleasing aroma (a life well lived for God's glory), but even greater our inside (our heart, mind and soul) is cleansed causing us to know true joy, peace, purpose and contentment like never before in that we can boldly come before the throne of grace, as now, in receiving Christ the Lord, we are all children of God! Amen.
But as many as received Him (Jesus our cleansing), to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name (our cleansing): who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (John 1:12-13 emphasis added by me).
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (our immediate need of cleansing of all unrighteousness). (Hebrews 4:16 emphasis added by me).
Beloved, this new year, I want us to be firm in where we stand, and let that stance be firm in God and upon His Word! Amen.
In the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray, that you who are in need of true cleansing and will call upon the name of the Lord, it will indeed be, a Happy New Year!
As always... YOU ARE LOVED.
