“Well, I am on vacation right now..and for the past two days I have been cleaning up my house..well, I always straighten it up..every day..you all know what I mean that surface cleaning..that takes about 15 minutes or so to swipe through your house picking up..sweeping up and fixing it up..Amen..but I tell ya when you get to really deep down cleaning up..that takes time..that takes patience..and that takes a lot of work..and hard work at that..it’s not easy..when you really want to clean up your home..Amen..but speaking here today I am speaking more on the terms of cleaning up our homes spiritually..Amen..and again..doing the surface thing it doesn’t take that long at all..we can do it pretty quickly when we have too..Amen!”

“But I tell ya when we get serious about cleaning up that inward man of ours..oh, boy that takes work and sometimes loads of it..and a lot of times when we begin..the load that we have been carrying around with us..is a lot..and the Lord begins to deal with us..and a lot of times we deal with the easy stuff first..but the harder stuff..we kinda keep pushing back into the corners of our hearts and minds..because we don’t want to deal with the messy stuff..the hard stuff..so we disregard it..maybe just a little..Amen..kind of like cleaning out our attic..in which case I need to clean out ours..and I have it one my to do list..but as well it is pretty much on the last part of the list..because I don’t want to tackle it at all..because again it is a work and a process to say the least to get up there and clean up that mess that I have..Amen!”

“But what I wanna say to us is this the work may be hard for a moment..but afterwards it is so fulfilling..the end of it is wonderful..there is this huge feeling of accomplishment that washes over ya when you finish a project..Amen..the same with us..I tell everyone only you and the Lord truly know all the dirt that is in your life..Amen..only we know where the dirt is..Amen..others can look and not see what we know is there..unless we point it out to them..but our dirt we know where it is at..and we know what we need to be dealing with in our lives to grow and mature in the Lord..because when we take time to deal with us and who we are..we step over into a place where the Lord can use us in great ways..so if God is telling you to let things go..or to pray over areas in your life..to deal with issues that somehow get pushed away..then by all means deal with them..get all cleaned up on the inside of who you are..the outward man has nothing to do with who you are..but that inward man that is who we truly are..so I pray we clean up the inside of our cups so to speak..Matthew 23:25-26..and that we walk the walk in our lives..as we are talking the talk..Amen..being the best we can be for the Lord..and living clean, pure and holy lives before our Father in heaven..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
