18 2026 Pure White
The Lord has blotted out, as with a thick cloud, our sins. We are above the cloud, our sins are underneath it. God doesn't see our sins, even as we cannot look through the thick clouds. So we should forget those past sins. Those sins are of the earth, earthly, but God sees only the cloud, where we dwell with him in the heavenly realms. He sees the brilliant, white, dazzling purity above the cloud, which is his glory reflected back to him. There is nothing as bright as the light reflected off his cloud. It is a brightness difficult to behold. The Lord beholds us as white and radiantly pure, for he sees us through the cloud of the righteousness of Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus' righteousness is the veil placed between God and our sins. God doesn't see the earthly part of us. He sees the heavenly part of us, where we sit on high with Christ. Christ has lifted us up. We're pure and unblemished in him, clothed in the white robes of his righteousness. He has blotted out and forgotten all our sins (Isa 44:22).
Happy are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Our worst enemy is not satan, but our own deceitful heart. A pure heart is what God seeks and satan despises. When we have a pure heart, we never give the enemy a chance. With a pure heart, we submit to God and we give resistance to the enemy. We fight against the enemy and he must flee. We stand next to the throne of God. We have a covenant; a covenant of peace between us and the Father. It's a covenant of faith and trust. It's based on the written word, the indwelling Spirit, and the invisible God. It is founded on the immutability of his own person and on his power. His power to keep, preserve, raise up, maintain, protect, defend, warn, guide, love, and his power to show mercy, compassion, loving kindness, grace, and forgiveness. This covenant is sealed and made legal before the court of Heaven by the eternal blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. It is only possible to maintain this covenant because of the fact that he is constantly with us, for us, and on our side. We are to strive to walk in his ways and he is obligated to keep and guide us in his ways. Although the devil continually stands by to accuse us and resist us, we have robes whiter than snow, upon which there is no blot or stain, and so there are no grounds for the accusations the enemy raises. Neither are there any means by which he can gain advantage of us. He is defeated, out of the picture, vanquished from our life, by the righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ.
Behold, Christ's power has made us pure! His power is all-powerful, and we are all-pure. We are total purity, for he has given us his pure and holy gift. The gift of his salvation. By grace we are saved through faith and not of ourselves; it is a gift of God. We seek this gift for others, so as to persuade men to accept and receive it. Open the blind eyes, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and raise the dead: these are all possible by his all-powerful word. We have freely received; may we freely give. May we take his word to heart and do it and obey it. Then we shall find the hungry souls. We pray, that the seed may be watered. We watch and he strengthens us. We trust and he refreshes our soul. --excerpt from my book "Kingdom Chronicles"
