Cleansing

After the Israelites crossed the river Jordan, the Lord I instructed Joshua to choose one man from each of the twelve tribes of Israel and to taka out of the midst of the river Jordan twelve stones and these stones were pitched in Gilgal (Josh. 4:20).

Gilgal means “rolled away”. The life in Egypt had been a life of reproach. Nowin Gilgal their reproach was tolled away. God rolled away and removed all I their past failures, defeats, shame and reproach. One of the strong weapons, which the devil uses to keep us defeated, is to keep us reminded constantly of our past failures’ He keeps saying to us what about that failure that defeat, that sin? Because of this we become discouraged and say, “How cana person like me ever think of possessing the inheritance in’ Christ’’? In this way many believers come under judgment and condemnation. We need not remain under such guilt of sin: we can claim constantly the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for cleansing the stains of our sins. By faith in his blood we can remain clean and pure, According to Acts 15:9 it is by faith that we can constantly be washed and cleansed from all our defilements. Every time we are defiled by thought, word or deed, we can say, “Lord Jesus I am defiled. Please forgive me, wash me in Your blood and cleanse me”. Then Hewilf cleanse us. But if we do not come under His blood, we will remain under judgment and condemnation. Come to Him by feith and He will rofl away your reproach. If we humble ourselves and confess our failures and bring ourselves under the precious blood, the Lord will forgive us and wash away all our sing,
