Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. Ephesians 5:25-27.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Just as physically you wash yourself each morning and evening, and your hands throughout the day, especially when you have touched something unclean and you want to prepare food to eat or to touch your face or eyes, so too you must wash daily, and multiple times is best for you will hear many unclean and idle works, with the pure living water of My Word.
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He lifts up; and every branch that bears fruit, He cleanses it so that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. John 15:1-3.
The word translated “clean” or “pruned” in this passage is the Greek word “katharos (καθαρός),” which means clean, pure, unstained, guiltless, innocent, upright, without admixture; what is separated (purged), hence “clean” (pure) because unmixed (without undesirable elements); free from the contaminating (soiling) influences of sin. It is the word used when Jesus said, “Blessed are the clean of heart for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8. The verb form is used where I tell you that Jesus sanctifies His body, the Church, by cleansing (katharizó (καθαρίζω)) by the washing of water with the Word. Ephesians 5:26.
Having cleansed the church by the washing of water with the Word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. Ephesians 5:25-27
Washing with My Word makes you without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. You know that I promise you renewal of your youth like the eagle and that you will live long and strong, bearing fruit in old age, full of sap and very green. You may have been wanting to receive this covenant benefit I promise you of the renewal of your youth and wondering how you take that as your own, but now you know. You have to wash yourself in the Word, and not just once, but constantly. The more you wash the purer you stay, and the younger you stay, and the more healthy you stay, and the happier you stay. It is a good idea then to wash in My Word constantly.
And how do you wash in My Word? Jesus told you: You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. John 15: 3.
My Words are life to those who find them, and healing (health) to all their flesh. The infirmities that come with old age, which come because the sin of Adam against My Word caused loss of eternal life in his flesh as well as his spirit, and thus for all his descendants, can be held back and your youth renewed only one way, and that way is not the anti-aging products on the market today for putting on the outside of you, but it comes from within, from walking in the truth by remaining in My Word and letting My Word remain in you. Then you will bear much fruit, even in old age, because My life is flowing into you, and My life is eternal and ageless, My life is fruitful and My life is youthful, always new. Each morning My mercies are new.
But how do you wash in the Word? It is no longer washing in the bronze laver at the gate to the inner court of the Tabernacle of Moses, as the priest had to do or die before entering the Holy Place, although that is a shadow and type for you, My royal priesthood by the blood of Christ, of baptism (clothing yourself in Christ who is eternal) and the renewing of your mind by My Word.
So how do you wash in My Word each day? You read it, your write it down, you hear it as anointed preaching and teaching or even just reading it aloud or listening to an audio Bible online, you meditate on it, and you speak it. It is all about controlling your tongue for truly death and life, aging and youth renewal, sickness and health, are in the power of your tongue. And your tongue speaks from the abundance of your mind, that is, where you are putting your attention and what you are the most interested in hearing, reading, talking about, and doing.
Jesus cleaned up His disciples so they needed no further discipline from Me just by speaking My Word to them. But it was total immersion for them for three years night and day. They were close to Him, they spent their days and nights with Him, and He Himself tells you that He never spoke anything on His own initiative but only spoke My Words because He knew they were Spirit and life, that in them was eternal life.
And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach and to have authority to cast out the demons. Mark 3:14.
So He spoke nothing else to them but My Word. And it made them into mighty champions, more than conquerors, as they took My cleansing Word to all they could reach. And then those who heard and received that cleansing Word became more than conquerors and shared the Word with others as well.
And that is the Word that has come down to you today. Those men cleansed in My Word and filled with My Spirit (who reminds you of all I said) changed the world so that it divided into A.D. and B.C.
Cleanse yourself by talking My Word to yourself. Read it out loud, recite the passages you know by heart during the day, such as Psalm 23, which is short but packed full of My cleansing Word. I told Joshua to meditate on My Word day and night. The word translated “meditate” in the Hebrew in which it was originally written is “hagah” which means not only to ponder upon and think about but also to mumble it, continually say it under your breath, to be constantly turning it over in your mouth and mind, like chewing the cud until it is ready for consuming and beginning with a new mouthful of the Word.
The noun of the verb “hagah” in modern day Hebrew is “hegeh” and it means the steering wheel of a car. Do you see? As you meditate (“hagah”) My Word you are turning the steering wheel of your life.
And do you recall what it did for Joshua and Caleb? It renewed their youth so that at age 85 they were stronger and more able to battle than they had been at the age of 40 when the rest of the people and the other spies refused to enter the promised land. The majority refused to speak My Word but spoke their own words of death, and those words did not clean them up and certainly did not renew their youth. They got what they spoke, they all died prematurely in the desert without going in the Promised Land. But Joshua and Caleb refused to speak anything but My Words and they were clean and of youthful vigor.
The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be shortened. Proverbs 10:27.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. Proverbs 11:30.
Let the fruit of your lips be My Words, which are words of eternal life, and the fruit of your lips will be a tree of life to yourself and others.
With the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied; he will be satisfied with the product of his lips. Proverbs 18:20.
Moses spent his days and nights with Me hearing My Word, writing My Word, and speaking and teaching My Word to the people, and even at the age of 120 his eyes were undimmed and his vigor unabated. My Word gave him a radiant face and it will yours as well. And a radiant face always seems youthful for it is full of life and not death. Look at the faces of many of the elderly, and even of those who are young who have allowed the devil to run their thoughts with hatred, depression, fear, regret, anger, addictions, pornography, and the like, and you will see only darkness and death. Look for the radiant face and you will find a person who spends time in My Word.
You must wash off the filth of the world with the water of My Word. Jesus told the disciples even though they were clean from His Word spoken to them they still had to let Him wash their feet. Why? Your feet walk in the dirt of the world every day and you must shake that dust off your feet to continue on in My Word and My Word will wash that filth off and will flow into your earthen vessel as well and make all that is of filth wash out the more Word you pour in.
You will note both Moses and Joshua had to remove their shoes in My presence to enter into the holy. The dirt of the world does not belong there for that is where the devil crawls and eats.
But where do you go to get washed up whiter than snow, as white as the wool of the unblemished Lamb that you have clothed yourself in at the waters of baptism?
Come with bold confidence and fearless freedom to My throne of grace by the new and living way My Son as made for you with your bodies washed in clean water and take and receive all My benefits expressed in My magnificent promises which are all “yes” to you in Jesus. NEVER JUST TAKE ONE, TAKE THEM ALL!
Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience (by the blood of Jesus) and our bodies washed with pure water (of the Word). Hebrews 10:22.
Do not settle just for the healing of your most pressing need, I want to give all to you every time you come. Get into My Word and do not forget any of My benefits, they are yours for the taking by faith. Psalm 103:1-5.
To those who have received the same precious faith as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 2 Peter 1:2-4.
My promises, My benefits, as expressed in the guarantee of My Covenant Name, make you partakers of My nature, which is youthful and eternal, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by sin, for the wages of sin is death. But My gift to you in Jesus is righteousness and eternal life. I forgive and wipe out all your sins when you receive Jesus as your Lord and believe that I put all your sins on Him and He was punished in your place so you are free of the sentence of eternal death that was given to sinful man in Adam.
I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43:25.
You are holy and blameless in My sight in Jesus, so come with your great High Priest and get healed, renewed, restored and blessed from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. Get a major overhaul, take everything on the tabled I set before you. I have called you into the divine banquet hall of My Word and My banner over you is love. And I set that table for you in the sight of your enemies. They get to watch you eat of the delicacies of My Kingdom, of the bread of life, of the children’s bread. Do not let Satan make you eat the dirt of the world, the dust of death any longer, it does not belong on your table.
All you need for life and godliness and a surplus for every good work is there at My throne of grace for you to receive with joy. Do not be skimpy at what you take, this is a table of plenty that the more you receive the more flows to you. Receive mercy and find grace for everything you need. Receive it, take it with joy. With joy you will draw water (to wash and renew your youth, to drink and give supernatural life, peace, and joy) at the springs of salvation (Yeshuah). Remember you enter My gates with thanksgiving and My courts with joyful songs of praise! You may sow in tears, but you reap with JOY.
And remember taking it ALL is not based on your performance but who I AM. It delights Me to give good things to My children, it delights Me to give you who love and appreciate what I have done for you in My Son the Kingdom.
Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full . . . In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father. John 16:23-24; 26-27.
Learn how to stand on My Word, to wash in it, to renew your mind in it, to renew your youth with it, to be healed with it. Remember it is not based on your performance but on your faith in Me and faith works because of love, My love for you and your love for Me because of My goodness, because of your knowing Me from My Word, because Jesus has washed you by water with My Word. And daily load you with benefits, just open your door to Me and dine on them with Me. Learn who I am and I cannot be anything else for you who know My Name and call on Me in faith, in Spirit and in truth.
I AM your Healer, your Provider, your Righteousness, your Deliverer, your Peace, your Redeemer, your Refuge, your Rock, your Fortress, your Stronghold, your Sanctifier, your Shepherd, the lifter of your head and the renewer of your youth, the one who is always there with you, the God of your gladness and exceeding joy, the Most High, your secret place, your Savior, your Almighty God, your great reward, your Shield, your Light, your Maker, and your Spouse and all these show you who I am, your good and gracious Father. You were made to be family with Me forever. And a good father gives good things to his children based on who the father is.
The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The LORD is good to all, and His mercy is over all that He has made. Psalm 145:8-9.
And man did not make up My Names, I gave them to you, and they are all signed in My covenant Name, LORD (יהוה), which means that I AM, I was, and I am to come. I will always be there for you to forgive and make right your past, to lead and bless you in the present, and to provide for and be with you in your future, which is eternal.
Just call upon My Names and come boldly and claim every one of the promises. By your words you are acquitted and by your words you are condemned. Do not say I do not give you things as many do and doubt My promises. Instead be bold to come to Me and speak them right at My throne and take them all with love and thanksgiving. I have My heart and hands open to you.
Put Me in remembrance, let us argue our case together; state your cause, that you may be proved right. Isaiah 43:26.
I have every aspect of your life covered, why not come and get under My wings? And you do it by your words.
How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. Matthew 23:37.
For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. Psalm 63:7.
Wash, bathe, drink, eat My Word and be healed, be whole, be without wrinkle or blemish. Do not forget any of My benefits, they are all there for you and I AM generous. I give without reproach but you can only receive by faith, so renew your mind everyday by washing it with the water of My Word, which means speak it, read it, do it, love it, and live it. My Words are sweetness and light. I have found your ransom, have you?
Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom; let his flesh become fresher than in youth, let him return to the days of his youthful vigor. Job 33:24-25.
The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28.
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14.
The ransom is in My Word.
I love you with an everlasting love. Everything is yours in Christ Jesus, why are you not receiving it all? Come with bold confidence and take it all with joy, with love, with thanksgiving. But remember the priests of old had to wash their hands and their feet before entering the Holy Place. Have you washed today? It will renew your youth so I think you will be very interested in doing so.
