11/06/15  LAYING HANDS ON THE UNCLEAN

I was thinking about the following scripture, because some think it is a misnomer as to how the church interprets it regarding praying for unsaved people.

1 Timothy 5:22 Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep yourself pure.

After study, I noticed that most of the translations translated this in context to scriptures above about an elder’s sin and laying hands upon to reinstate them.  This is a good correction to know.

1 Timothy 5:22 (AMP) ²² Do not be in a hurry in the laying on of hands [giving the sanction of the church too hastily in reinstating expelled offenders or in ordination in questionable cases], nor share or participate in another man’s sins; keep yourself pure.

JUST A FOOT WASH ON THE OUTSIDE

HEARD AND SAW:  So did you wash your hands?  I saw someone bending down to fix something on a lawn mower. Lawn mowers represent manicuring stuff that needs cut back to the right boundaries. 

I saw a handicapped child that was unclean who was germy rarely washes her hands and she said, “Sandy. You make a difference even to me.”  I heard the Lord say, Healing is a part of your message sweetheart.  Even when you don’t know it. 

I had been pondering the following scripture where Jesus washed their feet and said Judas was not clean.

John 13:8-10 Peter said unto him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash you not, you have no part with me. 9 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs not except to wash his feet, but is clean completely: and you are clean, but not all.

John 13:10 (AMP) ¹⁰ Jesus said to him, Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you [My disciples] are clean, but not all of you.

1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Corinthians 6:11 (AMP) ¹¹ And such some of you were [once]. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified [pronounced righteous, by trusting] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God.

WORD TO PONDER:  DEMONIC DOORS AND HE THAT IS WASHED 11/06/15

Dear one, when you pray for the sick and when you lay hands on the unclean, yes of course wash your hands in the natural and in the spiritual.  Wash them from any germs and demonic attachments.  That is a part of life maintenance and wisdom.  However do not think that you become demonically polluted by touching those who are in need of prayer. 

I have already thoroughly washed you by My atoning blood and you have been set apart and consecrated unto Me.  I have pronounced you righteous for trusting in My own righteousness, and you obey Me as you too walk in the same righteousness.  These keep you clean and you need not concern yourself over demonic doors.  They are closed in your life because you have been washed and consecrated only to Me.

Even though Judas was counted among the disciples, laying hands upon the sick and healing them, he was not clean because he did not believe in Me or My Words.  My Word washes you.  I knew from the very beginning that he did not believe.  The devil planted evil seeds and Judas nurtured them.  When the time came the devil entered in to Judas, but only after I gave him release to go do what he must do.  Trust Me dear hearts to keep you as you pray for the unclean!

John 13:8-11 Peter said unto him, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash you not, you have no part with me. 9 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus said to him, He that is washed needs not except to wash his feet, but is clean completely: and you are clean, but not all. 11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, You are not all clean.

Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.
