Bible Way Church

It's easy to see why the Prophets' where in need of being strong and of a good courage having to stand and live in their country pointing out its flaws and faults issuing statements and decrees from God, of their demise, destruction and coming judgments of its' people and leaders. Few Americans receive messages from preachers and teachers calling them hypocrites and placing them on par as other nations to face God chastisement and judgment.

It is preaching of the Gospel that brings us to faith to realize we are guilty of the blood of Jesus a innocent man, as Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost convicted the hearts of the hearers of just what had occurred. The same with Stephen except the fact that these where tares, the children of the wicked one that rejected the word of God. It is there own blood that will have to pay for their own sins, because the price (wages of sin) has to be paid. It's a debt no man can pay and live, its one that has been paid for those who confess their guilt.

Being washed in the blood is a bible doctrine that is taught to those who take up their cross to follow after Jesus denying themselves, because it requires death to self. It is one that you began to see that it is a reasonable service to present our bodies as a living sacrifice. We learned that His blood has a sanctifying effect on us, that separates or sets us apart from the world, and love of the world

Just like flushing the impurities from a wound the blood of Jesus Christ flushes await the sinful impurities from our minds, bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ. It must be actively brought to fruition in our lives, we must be actual doer's of God's word through acts of faith. When we come to Jesus, He explicitly tells us to take up our cross and deny ourselves to follow Him. This means that we are to begin the process of leaving this world's system behind, putting to death the old man, no longer yielding ourselves to it's pulls on us to yield our members as servants to sin, we have to die to self which is entangled in this world's system (Babylon).

As Jesus is Preparing His Kingdom rule here on earth, He also are washing His Bride with the water of His Word, so that she will be a chaste virgin without spot or wrinkle, no blemishes. This process begins as the spirit baptizes us into the body of Christ, and works mightily is us through obedience, as we begin glorying Him being made in His image, as we fulfill the purpose which he has created us for.

When we see Pilate taking water to wash his hands of the blood of Jesus, we are like the unbelievers that don't understand the spiritual and cleansing ability of the symbolic use of the word water as a universal solvent (cleansing and spiritual) application of water to our lives as The Word washes our sins away and sprinkles us with a clean purified heart. As in Ezekiel when the Prophets says "sprinkle us with clean water."

As we continue studying imprecatory prayers and Psalms, we look at having clean hands, because it links the spiritual reasons why those who pray the prayers and Psalms shouldn't be as the ones they are trying to imprecate. The Pharisees' was guilty of this, who Jesus pronounced woes upon because of their hypocrisy. They are as the government and religious leaders today are the reason the nati0ns are in freefall.

We see that Jesus pronounces woes upon the Pharissee's in last weeks teachings, as we where learning that imprecatory prayers and Psalms were not to be used by new believers, for personal vendettas or revenge but by the more mature believers and that against God's enemies such as the False teachers, advesaries to the cross. It is a tool or weapon in the hands of those who know how and when to use the sword of God's word.
