John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Jesus Christ Is the Preparation of the Gospel of
Peace. Meaning to shod your feet in the preparation of the gospel of
peace is to always be ready… abiding in the Lamb of God, through whom you now have
peace with God… so you walk. (Ephesians 6:15)
Jesus Christ washed the disciple’s feet on the preparation day of
the Passover. He was about to go to the cross and establish our
eternal redemption. So as Priest, Jesus washed their feet to prepare
them also, because when He returned from accomplishing the work of Salvation,
they would join Him and together they would begin doing as He did and washing
the feet of others, redeeming all that would receive Him.
Jesus spoke the word of the Father to the world at that time and
that word “washed” those that received His Word. He was preparing
that generation. Elijah, John the Baptist, both spoke the word of
God and prepared the way for the Son of God, the Lamb of God to go forth in the
commission of the Father. Now the Son of God washed the disciples so
they too would be ready for the ministry of the Son of God with the Son of God.
Now Jesus Christ has accomplished Salvation for all
eternity. He is ruling and reigning over all worlds. And
today He is washing His chosen to prepare them to go forth With Him even in
this age… He is receiving to Himself those souls from sin and death. The
grave clothes of religion are falling away. His garments of Righteousness and
Salvation are covering all our nakedness.
His Word washes, His word judges, His Word creates, His Word can
bring down….
God’s Word settles every situation. His Will has been
done, will be done, and is being done.
He is Receiving Unto Himself a prepared people… washed in the
Blood of the Lamb, cleansed in the Word of God that is Jesus Christ.
In Himself, Jesus Christ is seated in the Father, and as One they
are come to make their habitation in His prepared people. The Lamb
of God is their light, their righteousness, their glory and
honor. He is our Head. In Him we live and move and have
our being. We are sanctified, cleansed, justified and glorified in
Him. We are God’s habitation and are clothed in His Garments that are white and
holy.
Jesus Christ is Lord. And where the Spirit of the Lord is
there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
The Father and the Son are One and now that He has prepared a
place for us in Himself, He, that Spirit that is Holy, comes into our hearts
and seals us for the journey of a life time….
So the Holy Spirit speaks and declares and reveals Jesus Christ,
the Lamb of God to us, a little revelation at a time. Each breath He
breathes in us causes us to see Him and touch Him and Know Him more. Hallelujah!!
A Change is happening. A Birthing is
happening. His New Man is coming forth out of our earthen
vessel. God planted His word…. Planted His Seed, which is Jesus
Christ, in our souls and that engrafted word is breaking forth out of the darkness. That
Seed that is His Son is the Light that is shining in our midst and all darkness
is fleeing.
2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of
darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the
glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure
in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of
us.
John 14:20,21,23 At that day ye shall know that I am in my
Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my
commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me
shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest
myself to him…. If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my
Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make
our abode with him.
The Lord will not leave you comfortless, He said. He
said He would come unto you and receive you to Himself. So, as that
One and only Holy Spirit, He now fills us with the fullness of
God. Hallelujah!
Washing your soul, and causing you to know Him….. and in that
knowing…. And in that revealing…. You are made and set free and the new man is
revealed. The 2nd Man that is Jesus Christ, the Son
of God who is that Seed of God which brings forth after His kind… His Divine
Nature that has no sin or death.
John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 5:26-27 That he might sanctify and cleanse it
(church/body) with the washing of water by the word. That he might present it
to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing;
but that it should be holy and without blemish.
You cannot clean yourself up… only the Righteousness of Christ can
establish you as holy. You can put off certain characteristics that
are not of His holy Spirit, but you will need His Power to make you Free…
indeed.
Give the Lord your time, and seek His face…. In seeing
Him, you will be washed and freed and established in the Kingdom in Him.
John 3:3,5 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily I say
unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be
born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Only by receiving God’s Seed that is Jesus Christ can you be
allowed in to the kingdom of heaven… He is the Way.
He enters into our souls even while we are a filthy mess of sin
and death… He apprehends us… so to be the One that is able to clean us up and
make us clean and holy. He is the ability and
power… He is our ability and power to obtain the prize (become
a son) of inheritance of the firstborn.
It is
a journey… out of death and our grave… and into His Life of Glory and
Peace. He is Eternal Life and He is receiving us.

John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is
true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Amen.
