I see in the spirit lots of dirt and grime. It is not very obvious because of the darkness that prevails. I see the light seeping through from outside. The more the lights seeps through, the clearer we can recognise what is dirt and what is good.
The greatest revelation I get in this is that we only have to channel the light in. The LIGHT is God in all HE is: Father Son and Holy Spirit. And HIS mere presence will drive the dirt and grime away. We are vessels to usher in His holiness, His love, His light, His way of thinking, His way of caring, His way of supporting, His way of uplifting.
I sense Him wiating for our prayers for Boksburg. I am excited with you - and I look forward to Sunday, when there will be lots of prayer for Boksburg.
And if you pray, will you also just burst out in praise and worship.
I want to add this scripture from
2 Thessalonians 1 (New International Version)
(Paul writes to the church of the Thessalonians)
11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.
12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

just reading about the dirty water.. reminded me of a word the lord gave me...i am gonna see if i can find it and paste it here. :) not sure if it is relevent, but i leave that up to you. its from about two years ago.
As I woke up this morning, I heard Jesus asking me "will you come in here with Me?" I saw water - murky, dirty, slimy, deep, and the voice came out of its depths. My answer was simultaneous with His question, " yes Lord, I'll come anywhere with you".
As I started to ask Him about this, I felt that as I entered that water, it became pure, clean and sweet to me, although its appearance did not change. And I knew He had gone into the water first to prepare the way for me and for others. That even in such places, He had prepared a table for me.
I sensed that the sweetness came from our acceptance of His calling, out of our obedience and willingness to walk with Him wherever He leads. That is is a working together of His call and our choosing that makes the awful beautiful.
Then He took me to the Word, and I looked at Mara in Exodus 15, where Moses threw a tree into the water to make the bitter sweet. Moses is a type of Christ, and the tree a picture of the cross. The cross makes murky water pure.
Then on to 2 Kings 2 where Elisha threw salt into the water source to heal the land of barrenness. Jesus says we are the salt of the earth. Our entering the murky waters make them pure. Elisha had a double portion of the spirit and I felt God saying that this is the double portion for us - the cross and the salt together producing life.
And then He took me to the story of Namaan - who bathed in dirty water and was healed. And I felt Him say that as others come to our murky water, made sweet by His cross and our saltiness, there will be life flow to them too.
Yet to all outward appearance, the water was still dirty. But as we embrace Him and His call, He makes it sweet and that sweetness has power to transform others.
wow Sylvia, such powerful comments all the way from Australia. It really touches me to read this and to see my deep murky slimy dirty water challenge.
