The Lord says, come for the washing of My Word. For it is truth. All must come before Me to have a clean heart. For all shall cry out,”Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.” A Holy God seeks for the righteous; for a bride without spot nor blemish. My blood shall cover in the baptism of water in My Name. Repentance unlocks the door to righteous fellowship with Me. For a heart is bowed before Me in a place of sacrifice; in a place of self-contemplation. For I give awareness of sin in My Light to illuminate what stands in the way to cause hurt to My child; to a relationship with the Father of Lights in whom there is no variation nor shadow of turning. I leave not. Sin causes separation just as Light does. For I speak, come out from among them and be therefore separate, says the Lord. Be not conformed to the world, but be transformed by My power and by My might. For My blood washes away thy sins in a baptism of water. A baptism that gives a blood covering in My Name. Come, be baptised, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the Name of the Lord. There is one way to Me. For I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. None come to the Father except by Me. Baptism is a circumcision made without hands. Thy flesh is cut away in thy new birth. For thee must be born again of the water and the Spirit. It is time for all to come. For much is at hand. Time itself is not what it seems. For I shall come with quickness, says the Lord. Prepare thyself and make thyself ready. All is given in My Name, thus saith the Lord, Amen.
Beauty For Ashes Devotional
The Lord longs for a closeness with His children. He seeks a prepared bride for His return. Repentance is a place of Light. A place where one offers all that they have unto God, knowing of our insufficiency. Knowing that we are presenting our “ashes” unto a perfect, holy God. It is a place of crying out for the only true hope that we have. Repentance is a place of laying down the sinful nature and seeking God’s renewal and forgiveness. For He shall give thee beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3, New King James Version Bible). Pouring our self out to the Lord allows Him to fill us with His Spirit. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26, King James Version Bible). Being filled with His Spirit allows to live in His way, in His anointing. For without Him we can do nothing (John 15:5, King James Version Bible). He will give His beauty for our ashes with our obedience to His Word. A life of beauty awaits the children of the One, True God. For the God of Splendor fulfills all things. For His promises He shall keep.

Isaiah 61:3 is a beautiful picture of the redemption of a soul in God’s perfect will.
