“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Psalms 59: 1, 2 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; Defend me from those who rise up against me.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity and save me from bloodthirsty men.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

We, the bride, the church should everyday be cleansed by The Holy Spirit and The Holy Fire.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated that in our soul, the bride, the church the deeds of the foreign women should be destroyed. That is, when the Holy Spirit, the bride arises in our soul if we keep doing good deeds always in our soul in Christ, our God will keep being glorified in us.

Also, next what we will be meditating is that Numbers 31: 14 – 21 But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, with the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, who had come from the battle.

And Moses said to them: “Have you kept all the women alive? 

Look, these women caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the Lord in the incident of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord. 

Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately. 

But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately. 

And as for you, remain outside the camp seven days; whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves and your captives on the third day and on the seventh day. 

Purify every garment, everything made of leather, everything woven of goats’ hair, and everything made of wood.”

Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to the battle, “This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses:

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses in the church, which is the children of Israel those who were selected for war fought against the Midianites and took captive the women and children from there and all their cattle, all their flocks, and all their goods and all the booty they did not destroy and brought it outside the camp. But God had told to destroy everything. What this is a pattern of is that each one of us in our soul to destroy the harlotry of the foreign women using the children of Israel who were selected for war using them to destroy all the things of the Midianites we see that God tells them this and sends them.

But Moses who went to see those who returned, was angry with the officers of the army, with the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, who had come from the battle and said “Have you kept all the women alive? That is, they caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the Lord in the incident of Peor. Therefore Moses said that Midianites were the cause for the plague among the congregation of the Lord and he says now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately. But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately. And he says that as for you, remain outside the camp seven days. 

The reason for this is that they were the ones whoever has touched the slain and are all defiled and whoever has touched any person that was killed are all defiled and therefore everyone should be purified on the third day and the seventh day everyone including the captives. In the same way he said purify every garment, everything made of leather, everything woven of goats’ hair, and everything made of wood.

My dear people, if we must cleanse ourselves and make ourselves holy all the things that we touch will be made clean and will be holy. That is, only because the holy one is within us it will happen like this. Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to the battle, “This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses: Numbers 31: 22 – 24 Only the gold, the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 

everything that can endure fire, you shall put through the fire, and it shall be clean; and it shall be purified with the water of purification. But all that cannot endure fire you shall put through water. 

And you shall wash your clothes on the seventh day and be clean, and afterward you may come into the camp.

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, everything that can endure fire should be made clean. Everything that cannot endure fire should be cleaned with water. These are shown as a pattern for our dirt, abominations because we have walked in a defiled manner our Lord Jesus Christ to cleanse us received baptism by water and is telling us to be cleansed from our sin. But after that he is telling to receive baptism by spirit and fire. That is, he is showing us as a pattern that we can abide in it.

We, for any reason even if we become defiled our soul will become defiled.  Regarding that, the word of God in Luke 3: 16, 17 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 

His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.

Therefore, everyday as those who have renewed our garment of salvation we must come to the presence of the Lord and we must worship God. Then God will continue to be glorified in us. In this manner, every day let us submit ourselves to be cleansed by the Holy Spirit and the Holy Fire.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
