“So if anyone knows much about Labradors is that they shed tremendously..so when we are home and I am in the house all day as I was today..I am at a constant sweeping the floors..running the vacuum..you name it I am doing it..all the day long in the home of ours..behind our sweet precious Benjamin..and bless his heart he can’t help it..and he is the sweetest little doggy..Amen..but as I do this I as well think about us and our spirit filled homes in which we live..Amen..I mean it is one thing to have our natural homes a little messy at times..and what not..but when it comes to that spirit filled one..that one is the one that means it all..Amen..I mean you think about it..Amen..that Jesus after He rose from the grave..Hallelujah..that He said it was expedient that He would go away..because in doing so He would send us the Comforter..John 16:7..Amen..so when I think about that..that the Lord lives on the inside of us that takes staying clean to whole other level..Amen..for when you know that someone is coming to your home..I mean we go pretty crazy with the cleaning situation..I mean we may clean around and straighten up daily..but as I say when we know that someone is coming..we get pretty serious with taking care of our home..we clean everything..scrub windows..wash bed clothes..move furniture..sweep under it all in the house..Amen..so can you imagine just for a moment with me..that our Lord and Savior lives on the inside of us..Amen..I think are we clean?..are we aware that He is in there?..Amen..because He chose to come and abide with us..Amen..and live with us..Amen..but I do wonder how much do we clean up in our spirit filled homes?..how much do we overlook our inner man?..for we all know them areas that truly need to be dealt with that only us and Christ knows about?..Amen!”

“But I do think what would happen if we took it so serious the fact of dealing and cleaning and scrubbing and getting rid of the old stuff..that old man..that old mindset..I wonder what would happen in and through us when we wouldn’t just drown the Lord out from our mess and our sin that we just let live inside of us..and I think most of the time we are used to our mess and our sin..because it has been with us for so long that we kinda sorta overlook it..Amen..grown accustomed to it..Amen..but truly can you imagine if we did take our inward man so much more serious than that outward man..I mean can you imagine what would happen if we kept that inward man so clean..and so white..and so washed..that the Lord would be able to use us in a mighty way..other than being all bogged down with such messes that we choose too not deal with..Amen..but I have to ask us all this Easter resurrection day..what have you gave to the Lord?..what have you asked of Him to help you through?..Amen..because the Lord tells us that greater works would you and I be able to do for Him..John 14:12..Amen..and if we abide in Him we will bring forth much fruit..Amen..for apart Him we cannot..it says no more can a branch bear fruit except it abides in the vine..John 15:4-5..Amen..so I must say to us all..let us bear fruit in the Lord..let others see Christ alive and well in us..Amen..let us do a great work for the Lord..let us clean up that inward man of ours..when the Lord shows us an area..let us get busy working on it..so we can keep our robes so to speak..white and whole..without a blemish..Amen..always ready and willing to meet our Maker..our Lord our Savior..Christ..Amen..it does take patience and it may not be easy..but nothing in life is easy..but it is worth it..everything we do for Christ and His Kingdom is worth it..so let us be clean..let us be whole..and let us work on us..each of us..being the best version of us that we can be for our Father our Heavenly Father..King Jesus..Amen..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 ❤
