Thorough Cleansing
Maybe you feel that God promised you something, and it has been too long in coming. Maybe you are feeling desperate and even despairing. Hope deferred makes the heart sick when it is set on our expectations in our time frame. You've asked "Why, Lord? Where is it? What's going on? Why are You silent?" You have examined your heart to see if there is sin in your life. You've bargained and pleaded, maybe even pouted a little. It seems that God is far away, and the heavens are brass.

We . . . plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain -2 Corinthians 6:1
a person who has authority, control, or power over others; a master, chief, or ruler
Whose kingdom do we live in? I believe most of us spend our time in the kingdom of self, only occasionally entering the kingdom of God. Why do I say this? If we live in the kingdom of God, how would our lives be different? To live in the kingdom of God means to recognize that God is the king of our lives. Sadly, we give less heed to God and his kingdom than we do to the president.
Jesus Christ is the Alpha and the Omega of my spiritual nourishment.
