2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
A Heart Operation
.. What God is really saying – the mind is simply reflecting what is in the heart. It’s the heart that God has to go to – and does. And it’s only the promises of God’s Word – which is the Sword of The Spirit – that can deal with the heart and operate on the heart..
Washed By The Promises
..Only God has those right spiritual instruments to be able to do that surgery. Nobody else can do it. Man – medical science thinks they can, but they can’t. That’s why they throw drugs at everything, but God doesn’t do that. As God is working on our hearts so we find then that these promises are washing us – cleansing us – keeping us in fellowship and in the presence of Almighty God. That is the nature of the Deeper Life teaching.. ‘ God’s Promises Have A Cleansing Effect ‘
Cleansing Healing And Deliverance
.. Holding on to the promises is for our deliverance, this is what comes as a result. This is what we find with the preaching and teaching of The Word. Many of you will often contact or email me to share something that The Lord has revealed or exposed – I’ve lost count over the years what saints have shared by hearing this Word and staying under it or listening to that teaching in the meeting worked a healing or deliverance that you didn’t know existed before ..
Cleansing Ourselves With The Water Of The Word
.. That is the spiritual surgery that God does within the heart. That’s why it is our deliverance – or Deeper Deliverance. That always the nature of the Deeper Life – for a deeper deliverance so that we mature into sonship. As we grow into sons and daughters of God we take the responsibility of cleaning and cleansing ourselves.. God gives us the water in which to clean ourselves – because you can’t clean yourself without water. The Word of God is that spiritual water to cleanse us.
Matthew 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Acts 11:9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 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.
1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Psalm 121:7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil:
he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in
from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Psalm119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart,
that I might not sin against thee.
