Clear away the cobwebs, the debris, the ash. Work with Me to make you, the holy temple of God, clean and ready. Assist the Holy Spirit to dust away the old. Now stretch, move, and bring out before Me the areas of your life which you have found too painful to sit and look at.
I know it can feel scary and painful. But take up each area and allow My cleansing oil to wash away the muck, the residue, the hurt and pain. There is no rush. We have time to clean one bit at a time.
Take as much time as you need to take. Let Me show you the why and how each part got in the state they are in. And watch as we partner together to wash, heal and make them whole again.
Activation:
Sit with God, your Heavenly Father, and ask Him to show you what pain you have hidden away. The things that may be too painful for you to face. Ask Him to give you the courage to look at them and allow Him to bring healing and cleansing to that area. You may need to do this over a long period of time, even weeks, or months. Keep going until He shows you the areas have been restored.
20 Now in a large house there are not only [a]vessels and objects of gold and silver, but also vessels and objects of wood and of earthenware, and some are for honorable (noble, good) use and some for dishonorable (ignoble, common).
21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things [which are dishonorable—disobedient, sinful], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified [set apart for a special purpose and], useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
22 Run away from youthful lusts—pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those [believers] who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2 Timothy 2:20-22 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] 2 Timothy 2:20 Like Rom 9:20-23, the analogy here has its roots in OT poetry (e.g. Ps 31:12; Prov 26:23) and prophecy (e.g. Is 45:9; Jer 18:2-6). Paul speaks of believers and unbelievers in Rom 9, but here he seems to be describing God’s household or family, in which all the vessels (containers, utensils) represent believers. While the objects in Rom 9:21 do not change, the vessels here are capable of changing their status and the use to which God puts them by keeping themselves from sinful behavior and influences (v 21).
