I AM WILLING, BE CLEAN

October 9, 2021

Morning Matthew 8:3

Noon Psalm 5

Evening John 6:37

“The darkness heard the command of the Almighty: 'Let there be light', and immediately there was light; and the word of Jesus is, in majesty, equal to that ancient word of power. Redemption, in the likeness of creation also has its word of power. Jesus speaks and it's done. Leprosy could not be cured with human remedies, but it quickly disappears before the words of the Lord, 'I want'. There was no hope for a cure for this disease; the body can do nothing for its own healing, but the word of Jesus brought about lasting healing. The sinner is in a more miserable condition than the story of the leper; It’s urgent for the sinner to imitate the example of the leper by going to Jesus, “begging and kneeling down”. The Bible says that God does not dismiss the person who, repentant, comes before God’s presence no matter how foul and gnawed they are by their sin. Before the plea for salvation, Jesus responds as He did with the leper: "I want, be clean."

The love of Jesus is the source of salvation. He loves us, looks at us, touches us, and we live.

Morning Matthew 8:3

And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Noon Psalm 5

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Evening John 6:37

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
