Sprinkled!

Ezekiel 36: 25 - 27

²⁵ I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.

²⁶ I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

²⁷ And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

Some people have been sprinkled with clean water, and frankly, some have not.

People will come to our church beginning on Sunday night, and they won’t expect a sprinkling.

When my two adults boys were little, and they started to learn to walk, they would hang on to anything to keep themselves upright.

It wasn’t until they learned to let go, did they find good footing.

It’s the same with us. Unless we stop hanging onto the world, and all our impurities and idols, can we depend on our Father in Heaven for traction and direction.

People who refuse to let go of the things that hinder them, will be forever struggling, and falling on their faces.

I know struggling people right now, and they may think they’re clean, but their actions tell a different story.

Those are the same people who have all the Christian lingo down pat, but no kingdom fruit to show for it.

Maybe those are the folks who have a heart of stone, and don’t even know it?

Maybe they are the ones who think they have a new spirit, when in fact they still have the old one?

Unless God put’s His Spirit in you, you will be forever frustrated.

Maybe the reason you’re not moved to follow God, is that you’re still holding onto your old stinky life?

I suggest you run through the sprinkler, and I’d recommend you do it sooner, than later…
