This morning as I sat with the Lord my thoughts begin to slowly wander. I thought about situations I was desiring to see change in; I thought about different things I was feeling. Soon these thoughts begin to slowly steal my focus from spending quality time with the Lord. And I could feel my spirit getting heavier with each thought. At that moment I received a message on my phone from a dear friend.
This message came straight from the Lord. It reminded me of everything the Lord had been saying to me personally this past week. And it drew my focus from off of the fleshly things I had been pondering on, back to the Lord and the things of the spirit.
But something more happened also. The Lord began to show me something in the spirit. I saw water being poured on me from above. I could even feel the coolness and the relaxing way the water made me feel as it was being poured onto me. Then the Lord shared a revelation with me.
When we turn to sin and the things of the flesh it instantly contaminates us spiritually. Our spirits often become heavy and tired as this spiritual filth is dumped onto us. But as we turn back to the Lord his spirit pours out on us like water washing and cleansing us of all that filth. If we notice the evidence of this is in the instant transformation of how we feel spiritually.
I have come to realize that how something functions in the natural reveals its spiritual purpose. This can be hard to grasp at times because by nature we look at the natural first and try to equate it to the spirit. But it's through the spirit that everything begins.
There is no difference with water. In the natural water cleanses, refreshes, and establishes an environment where life can flourish. These are the created functions of water in the spirit. So the next time the filthy weight of sin or the heaviness of the flesh dumps on you, look to the Lord to pour out his water and wash it all away.
