Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:1-2.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I have put My life, love, joy, peace, and Myself into your heart. How? By your receiving My Son, My Word, and My Spirit, that is, the Blood, the Water, and the Spirit, and these testify to you and Me that you have eternal life. My Kingdom is now within you, accessed by the One Spirit. All this because you heard and believed My Word. My Words are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh. I have filled up your earthen vessel, your cup that holds your spirit and soul, with the divine.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup (kos (כּוֹס): cup, vessel, container) overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:5-6.
I have poured all of Heaven into you who have received My Son, yet so many are totally unaware of who is there within them and consequently they are resisting the holiness that is within them. They are not being holy as I am holy because they do not know they are.
Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. 1 Corinthians 3:16.
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
Wake up, sleeper, and Christ will give you light. You have infinite treasure, the unfathomable riches of Christ, within your earthen vessel. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Do not walk about unaware of what is within.
For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves. 2 Corinthians 4:6-7.
It is time you took your rightful place in My house, for in Jesus I did not leave you as a vessel of dishonor but of honor, prepared for every good work. Ephesians 2:10.
Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:1-2.
What a lovely place to be! A vessel of honor in My abundant House. You are holy by virtue of the Holy Spirit in you. Dedicate your vessel for My use in My house, the Church on earth, and walk in the beauty of holiness in the light of My love.
The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations, that all the ends of the earth may see the salvation of our God. Depart, depart, go out from there, touch nothing unclean; go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD. But you will not go out in haste, nor will you go as fugitives; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard. Isaiah 52:10-12.
This amazing prophecy of Isaiah of the fugitives set free with dignity carrying My vessels has many levels. In the lines before this prophecy, you see the foretelling that My people shall know My name, and in that day I am the one who is speaking, “Here I am.” And in what context am I speaking? The one I sent whose feet are beautiful upon the mountains bringing good news, announcing shalom and bringing good news of good things, announcing Salvation (Yehsuah) as I bare My holy arm (Jesus is the arm of humanity I reach down in My divinity to seek out and save the lost) before all the nations. This prophecy has two levels, the return from the captivity in Babylon as Cyrus sent them back to rebuild the temple in the beginning of the return of the captives to Zion to restore Jerusalem and also the release of all captive to sin and death by the coming of Jesus, you Messiah, the good news of Yeshuah, My holy arm.
And right after this prophecy of the departure from captivity by those carrying My vessels, which on one level as to do with the return of the captives released by Cyrus to whom he gave the vessels of the Temple captured by Nebuchadnezzar and taken to put in the treasuries of Babylon to carry back to put in the temple, the rebuilding of which that the treasuries of Persia were going to underwrite (and be mindful this was more than 150 years before that happened) but on another level speaks of you who are separated and set apart as the Church, as the body of Christ and My royal priesthood, right after these lines, begins the account of Jesus as the suffering servant whose appearance becomes “marred more than any man and His form more than the sons of men,” so that He will sprinkle many nations with His blood.
According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure. 1 Peter 1:2.
And continues into the next chapter of Isaiah where he prophesies in detail the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus whereby He bears all your sins, ills, pains, grief, sorrows, iniquities, shame, and guilt and takes them all away. Though your sins were red as scarlet, and your hands covered with blood, He took the blood upon His own hands and cleansed you white as snow. Isaiah 1:18-19. He made you sacred, set apart as vessels consecrated for noble use.
You spirit is born again from above and you are cleansed of all sin and impurity within by His blood and I have put you in Jesus and Him in you to be your wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, and that is the blood by which you have been released from your sins and your redemption paid. But there is a next step, and it is being transformed by the renewing of your mind so you no longer touch in your thoughts, words, or deed the impure, the profane, the evil, the darkness, but walk in the light of My Word.
It is time to purify and cleanse the vessel that is holding so great a treasure to make it available for every good work to which you are called.
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.
You are members of His body the Church, born from each wounded side and pierced heart as blood and water ran out upon the sinful world.
“I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn . . . In that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity.” Zechariah 12:10; Zechariah 13:1.
So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him; but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. John 19:32-25.
The eternal life you murdered in Adam was paid for by the eternal blood of My Son poured out as the sin offering and the water of the Word, the water of new birth from above in the birth canal of My imperishable word.
For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring Word of God. 1 Peter 1:23.
And the Blood and the Word and the Spirit are all witnessing with your spirit as they testify to you of what you have in your vessel and how to cleanse it of all impurity.
Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 1 John 5:5-8.
And what is that testimony?
And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. 1 John 5:11-12.
Born again by the imperishable seed of My Word, cleanse yourself from all that is unclean and impure by washing your mind in that Word. Jesus told you that it is the Word that cleanses and purges you so that you become a fruitful branch attached to Him by remaining in My Word and My Word remaining in you until there is nothing in you but My Word.
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes 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.
Your life flow becomes a flow of the thoughts and words of Heaven upon the earth and in the agreement of partnership with Me your prayers all come to pass for they are made within My Will for the good, pleasing, and perfect work which is now your desire as well for our spirits have intertwined as the branch with the vine. You fruit has become the same as Mine, the fruit of the Spirit. For I am Spirit and so are you.
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. John 15:7-10.
And the result? Knowing My promises, that is, knowing My Word, revives you and pours My joy into you and your joy overflows up and out.
These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. John 15:11.
Avoid worldly idle chatter and get equipped by My Word. If you recall, when Isaiah saw My glory and he responded to send him to speak My Words to My people, he bemoaned his unclean lips and I sent a seraph with a coal from My golden altar of incense to touch his lips. And when Jeremiah found My Word, he loved it, delighted in it, and no longer sat with those in idle pursuits. I told him to keep his mouth from the profane and separate out the holy so that his words were Mine and not those of the world. I told him not to be trying to please the worldly with what he said but tell them the truth from Me whether it tickled their ears or not.
You are in a battle and your spirit must win over the flesh for you to be a vessel of honor. Fight the good fight of faith and you will always win. I have given you the fruit of self control. It is in your heart already. I did not give you a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind, that is, self-control. Stay in the faith arena, not the flesh arena and your spirit will always win. And faith comes one way: by hearing and hearing My Word until you think it, speak it, and it becomes you.
And that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. Timothy 3:15-17.
Paul counseled Timothy how to make his vessel one of honor:
Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels. The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. 2 Timothy 2:20-26.
But the way you purify your earthly vessel of flesh is the same way that I told Joshua how to do it and it worked for him without even having My Spirit in him but only on him from the laying on of Moses’ hands and the anointing of My Spirit.
Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:7-9.
I love you. I have filled you with Myself and that means everything I have and am came with Me as your own. Heaven is in you. I have given you Heaven on earth, take it and release it everywhere you go. Wherever you go, you are coming in full of glory for everyone to enjoy. The transition will be easy when you cross over when your earthly days are completed and you are fully satisfied. I am with you wherever you go. I will never leave you or forsake you. Even now you can have as much of Me as you want.
