You can't clean with dirty water!

Job 14:4

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

Or as I like to say, "You can’t clean with dirty water!”

I’ve had to tell this to numerous children and adults over the years in regard to mopping and cleaning in general.

The harsh reality is that many among us have not been washed and cleaned by the word.

Matthew 23:27

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto white-washed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

As a result we try to clean up our past sinful lives on our own which never works.

You’ll end up pushing around the same old dirt which muddies up your present.

You can see it in marriages, parenting, ministry, and every area of our lives.

Some then start to think that the above marriage, children, ministry, and so on are wrong, but the fact is that they tried to clean them up with dirty water.

You have to start off with clean water.

And once that water starts to get dirty, you have to dump it out and get a refill.

Spiritually, we should be going through this process multiple times a day as we strive to redeem our time from past sins.

I pray this helps someone to stop cleaning with dirty water and go to Yah for a cleansing and refill.

Consider these words and may this mind be in you:

Psalm 51:1-7

Have mercy upon me, O Yah, according to thy lovingkindness:

according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. 

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 

Against thee, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be clear when you judge. 

Behold, I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 

Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom. 

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
