The Word Cleanses You
Now ye are clean through the word which I have
spoken unto you (John 15:3).
The world today is full of all kinds of dirt,
unbelief, fear and evil. Every time we’re in
conversation with people, especially those who
aren’t in the faith, they rub off some negativities on
us. Every time we watch television, there’s something
terrible and negative, something with some fear, and
uncleanness in it. Wrong thoughts come to us as well,
from which we have to cleanse ourselves.
How do we purify and cleanse ourselves from
the dirt we contact from the world? It’s with the
Word! God’s Word is the best cleansing agent. Jesus
said to His disciples, “Now ye are clean through the
word which I have spoken unto you,” as seen in our
opening scripture.
This is one of the reasons it’s so important that
you’re in the right church, where the Word is taught.
Listening to the Word cleanses your soul. Even now,
as you study the Word through this devotional, you’re
being cleansed; there’s a purification taking place in
your heart.
Give yourself to the Word of God. The Apostle
Paul admonished in Colossians 3:16: “Let the word
of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching
and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts
to the Lord.”
God’s Word displaces unrighteousness from a
man’s heart and replaces it with righteousness. It wipes
out fear and replaces it with faith. The Word of God
is a cleanser; it cleanses anyone who comes under its
influence, power, and authority.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word is my daily meditation;
therefore, I’m cleansed and purified at all times. I’m sensitive
to the leading of the Holy Spirit in my life, who causes me to walk
in your perfect will, and in your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
