God turns away from unclean things

  

For the Lord your God 

walks in the midst of your camp, 

to deliver you and give your enemies over to you; 

therefore your camp shall be holy, 

that He may see no unclean thing among you, 

and turn away from you. 

~ Deuteronomy 23:14



This past month this scripture has been captivating me .... because it's such a Powerful Truth ❤.
 
The Lord walks amidst us. He is with us and wholly supports us! Praise God :)

But when He sees unclean things He turns away...

For He is Holy.

He simply cannot remain close to anything that is unclean. 

The analogy that comes to mind is that of oil and water. 
They just don't mix, instead oil and water naturally resist and draw away from one another.

 I can just hear the protests of some who may contest this. While it is true that the Lord is immensely graceful, forgiving and Loving. He is also a wise Father who desires that we grow and mature to be all that we were designed to be.
As believers, we are accountable to come to the knowledge of  and obey the truth of the Holy Scriptures.

For though the Lord loves us, how can He draw close to that which is so against His nature?

Be ye Holy for He is Holy, the scriptures remind us.

Can a parent treat a disobedient child the same way he treats an obedient child? 
He loves them both ... but wilful and persistent disobedience in a child creates a rift that blocks deep intimacy.

Imagine a loved one turning away from you. 
How painful that would be and how it affects everything!

The role of the believer is to stay clean, becoming the spotless bride.
Remaining in Him, so that His eyes and Grace remain and abound upon us always 👑

Note: Jesus Is the Word. The entirety of the Word (Old & New covenant) are One and the same. Ears that hear and Eyes that see will recognize that He weaves through it all. 

Love Ahava Sarah ❤

The Ecstacy of Loving God

Image
Journal entry - 25 May 2017 This morning in my 'Holy Hour' with the Lord ... I sat and waited upon him at 3 am , sang in tongues and soon found Him. :) But it was at around 4 or 5 am, that I noticed a special love began to wrap itself around me.... It was so beautiful .... that I am inspired to write about it in my journal entry this day.  I use the title 'The Ecstacy of Loving God' for this particular blog post as it is a commonly used term that describes the intimacy as well as the absolute pleasure and delight that is found in the Lord. The title is also that of a well known book that describes the mystical state of love that come in union with Christ. However, I use it not to refer to the book in particular but to share my personal thoughts on the sheer delight, yes the Ecstacy of Loving God! :) Lately, it feels as though I have plunged into colorful oceans. There is so much to see, appreciate and learn from. There are beautiful beings and sig

Write it Down, then Run with it!

Journal entry - 24 May 2014 Habakkuk 2:2 - Then the LORD replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.   Today I am reminded to write a clear vision of the goals and plans that I see coming to fruition this year & in the years following.  I have written them before, but I am feeling led to add more details and specificity. When the Lord gives us dreams, desires & hopes, He has planted the seed. But it is up to us to water, tend to them and see that these seeds flourish into a great & mighty tree.  Picture a tree that in it's strength lends great influence - It provides shade, food,nourishment, refreshment as well as beauty to those who come to it.  It's a fruitful tree :) Writing down goals/visions, thus making the end result clear in written or visual form creates a great sense of excitement and joy. This leads to high levels of motivation to RUN with what is written. It gets my adren
