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. (Ezekiel 36:25)
This word was a promise given to me by God on November 12th 2008. I thought I understood what this fully meant, but I now know there was so much more. The sprinkling with water was a ritual for cleansing those who were unclean as referred to in Hebrews 10:22, Numbers 19:18 and Leviticus 14:51. Being unclean here was a reference to being influenced by demonic forces or having them reside in ones soul due to open doors because of sin or a generational curse. I knew nothing of these things back then but I do now. God was prophesying to me that I would be delivered and set free from these forces that had taken residence in me from the time I was a child after being molested. This though was the first step of renewal on the inside and the second step was a new heart and spirit which God has given me. I say all this to share this hope with you. God is no respecter of persons, what He did for me, He will do for you. He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness if you confess your sins. In 1 John it says,”if you confess your sins He is faithful and just to forgive you of your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.” The verb in this verse to confess is present tense which means it is a constant act, not just a one time event.
God is faithful to His word and His amazing love and grace will encompass you and lead you through all the storms in life and bring you peace that goes beyond all understanding. The must before all this can happen is, you must confess and forgive everyone that you hold unforgiveness towards, that is the key to deliverance!
God’s own words to you this day are that He will sprinkle clean water on you and you shall shall be clean. Keep in mind that God’s promises are for those who walk in obedience to His word. We can claim God’s promises for ourselves and walk in them once we bow our will to His. Jesus Himself said,”If you love Me, you will obey Me.” Obedience to Him transforms lives, renews the mind, heals the body and brings to fruition God’s promises.
He is ready to perform His word in your life. Are you ready to obey?
