Washed with hyssop

2Cr 4:6 KJV - 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.
As we read this wonderful word,and began to realize that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself. 2Cr 5:19 KJV - To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Jhn 1:14 ASV - And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. This says full of grace and truth,it also says he is slow to anger,full of loving kindness having mercy for thousands. Exd 34:5 ASV - And Jehovah descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah.Exd 34:6 ASV - And Jehovah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth,
Exd 34:7 ASV - keeping lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation. Do we see a condition here that is required by the lord, In one verse it says he is abundant in loving kindness,slow to anger forgiving sin. Than it says visiting the iniquity of the fathers. Iniquity in the Heb is what God calls a crime, an offense against his word, not feeling guilty for their sins. The bible says we have an advocate if we sin 1Jo 1:5 ASV - And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1Jo 1:6 ASV - If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1Jo 1:7 ASV - but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.1Jo 1:8 ASV - If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us 1Jo 1:9 ASV - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jo 1:10 ASV - If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.Pride is a sin ,arrogance is a sin, Thinking ourselves to be more than we are. Num 15:30 “ ‘But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or alien, blasphemes the Lord, and that person must be cut off from his people. The bible calls this sinning with a high hand. Have you ever been discussing something with some one, something concerning their actions in life, something of importance. They look at you and than turn their head and hold up their hand and say I know what I am doing I don't want to hear any more from you. They are defiant and stubborn,when people do this to God they sin with a high hand.Arrogance and refusal to hear the word of truth. The only way we are going to understand the true will of God is to humble ourselves to his word to be of a broken and contrite heart. When the children went out of Egypt it says they went out with a high hand, we must realize the only victory we will ever have is because of Gods mercy his Grace. These people left with an attitude, and they were already in trouble in their spirits. There is common ground in all of this, a truth to hold on to. Eph 2:5 ASV - even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),
Eph 2:8 ASV - for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; Salvation is a gift of God and we should receive it that way. Eph 4:8 ASV - Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men. We were the captives, we were the people in Isaiah 61 that Jesus stood up and read about in Luk 4:18 ASV - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, Before light came we were in darkness we were blind to our self's and our ways. But God sent the light in the face of Jesus to light our way, to show us the way. 1Jo 1:7 ASV - but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Psa 51:6 ASV - Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom..Out of the heart flows the issues of life. Psa 51:7 ASV - Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Only the blood of Christ can wash away our sins and make us whiter than snow. This is a beautiful truth here and David knew this truth, God reveled this great truth to David , the hyssop was a sweet fragrance of the sacrifice of Christ, 2Cor 2:14-15 Our lives are a fragrance presented by Christ to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those being saved and by those perishing. But thanks be to God, who made us his captives and leads us along in Christ's triumphal procession. Now wherever we go he uses us to tell others about the Lord and to spread the Good News like a sweet perfume. Does our father have a plan yes a wonderful plan. From the very beginning of time God was preparing us for this day bringing us to a place of surrender ,the burning altar is a place of surrender, the incense on the brazen altar was the sweet savor of Christ being offered up for you and I, brass in the old testament was a type of our flesh, and the altar was a place where sacrifice was done. When Jesus was offered up on the cross of sacrifice he was giving his flesh as an offering for the many to come. Look at all the scripture about Altars and know that in them all, God was seeing his son Jesus and the results of his giving of his life for us. Why burning sacrifices because when something is burned it is totally consumed there is nothing left over, everything is consumed of the flesh. So it is with us, God wants all of us not just part of us, we must lay this old man down so Christ will be manifest in us. The mystery is CHRIST IN US THE HOPE OF GLORY. THE ONLY WAY WE ARE GOING TO SEE HIM IS TO BE LIKE HIM. 1Jo 3:2 ASV - Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is. The word in this verse is IF ! if he is manifested in you , you will be just like him. The word says for us to bear much fruit, fruit unto righteousness,fruit unto repentance,fruit unto perfection, as unto the tree of life. We don't eat the tree, we eat the fruit of that tree. Gal 5:22 ASV - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Gal 5:23 ASV - meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 ASV - And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.
Gal 5:25 ASV - If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. How do we walk in the spirit its in his word, by renewing our minds to the word of truth. Roms 12:2 Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is. This is saying in all truth that repentance is, to change ones mind, to believe the whole word of God and to walk in it. Jesus said if you love him you will obey him. The only way for us to enter the kingdom of God is to love him. And to be repentant, is to have Godly sorrow, a sorrow from God working righteousness in our souls. The word says worldly sorrow works death in us,its only for a moment and than we are back to our old life as usual. If we walk out in the dark at night we take a light with us so we can see, to see what!! anything that will become an obstacle in our path. PSALM 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. IF YOU ARE TO BUSY FOR JESUS THAN YOU ARE TO BUSY FOR HIS KINGDOM. There are people that have all the wealth in this world,fame and fortune. And that is their treasure that is all they will have, Jesus must be our treasure, to lay up in our hearts waiting patiently for his return. Luk 12:34 ASV - For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Luk 12:35 ASV - Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;
Luk 12:36 ASV - and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him. Luk 13:24 ASV - Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Luk 13:25 ASV - When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are; Hes saying I don't know who you are, He never had a relationship with you! if you love someone you surely know them, Jesus is that breath of life.
Luk 12:49 ASV - I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled? Judgment starts first in the house of God , hes going to salt his church with fire.
Luk 12:50 ASV - But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! He told John to baptize him so that all things be fulfilled or accomplished all righteousness be fulfilled.he was the perfect sacrifice Rom 6. Phl 3:10 ASV - that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death; Death ,burial and resurrection. .
Luk 12:51 ASV - Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

Col 1:21 KJV - And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled. Reconciled in the greek Strong's Number: g2644 Greek: katallasso

Reconcile, Reconciliation:
properly denotes "to change, exchange" (especially of money); hence, of persons, "to change from enmity to friendship, to reconcile." With regard to the relationship between God and man, the use of this and connected words shows that primarily "reconciliation" is what God accomplishes, exercising His grace towards sinful man on the ground of the death of Christ in propitiatory sacrifice under the judgment due to sin, 2Cr 5:19, where both the verb and the noun are used (cp. No. 2, in Col 1:21). By reason of this men in their sinful condition and alienation from God are invited to be "reconciled" to Him; that is to say, to change their attitude, and accept the provision God had made, whereby their sins can be remitted and they themselves be justified in His sight in Christ. The verb is used elsewhere in 1Cr 7:11, of a woman returning to her husband. Rom 7:4 KJV - Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.


God bless you all
