rhema 1/17/09 REPENTANCE BRINGS CLEAN HANDS AND PURE HEART

PIX:  I saw someone laying on the floor underneath a wooden chair with hands sticking out, like within an invisible wooden yoke.  This person was going through repentance.

HEARD:  Stretch and reach.  Yes it is a powerful blow.  Two trees down.  Frank.  Obedient.  Separate yourselves.  Let not sin have dominion.  Lay it down on the altar and forsake appetite.  Lust.  Horse flesh. 

HEARD:  You have liberty.  I have given it to you.  Choose righteousness.  Lean on Me.  I will deliver you in moments of temptation.  Demons will flee.  Liberty.  Strengthen your will to choose.  Be obedient.  My Word.  Forsake it not. 

Ps 119:65-67

You have dealt well with Your servant, O LORD, according to Your word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge, For I believe Your commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word.

John 14:23-24

If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word ; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.  He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me. 

Gal 5:1 NKJV

Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

HEARD:  Climax.  To manifest and bring into the light.  Darkness flees.  Abhor evil.  Turn away.  No more fellowship with mixture.  Separate yourselves.  Separate into My light.  Turn.  Now renounce.  Cut off and break the yoke.  Break free.  Shackles.  Holy hands.  Give to Me.  Purity.  Washed by My blood. 

1 John 1:5-10  NKJV

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.  8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

PIX:  I saw a garden hose washing off a flat slab of concrete.  All the pebbles and grime were being pushed away with the water. 

HEARD:  Holy foundations.  Remain intact.  Get up a free man.  Free indeed.  In Christ you are a new creature.  Walk in it.  New creation. 

2 Cor 5:16-18 NKJV

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

2 Cor 5:17-18 AMP

Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!  18 But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him].

HEARD:  To sit before Me.  With a pure heart.  No stain.  Grime.  Filth. Offense.  Remembered no more.  Clean. 

Ps 24:3-53 NKJV

Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place?  He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
