Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Ezekiel 36: 25 

God promised to pour clean water on the Israelites to cleanse them from all filthiness. This water is guaranteed to those who receive Jesus as Savior. It runs softly like the ones at Siloam, washing those who surrender themselves to the Father. God is holy and knows how to give each one who converts to Him the opportunity to be clean of errors and do good like Jesus did.

The promise was that when they returned from captivity the Israelites would have a new life and would no longer be responsible for the Name of God being profaned by the people who would hear about the goodness and power of the Lord to turn the lost and captives into true citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. The promise was about those, hundreds of years ahead in time, would receive the Son of God as Savior and Lord. Halleluiah!

Still with the Israelites in captivity, the Most High used His servants to bring them back to the Truth. This would also prepare the hearts of the rulers of that time to allow their return. Men like Nehemiah, the cupbearer of King Artaxerxes (Nehemiah 1:11), Ezra, the priest faithful to God (Ezra 7:11), and others played an important role in rebuilding the nation. Only the Lord knows the exact number of people that were used in this plan.

Today the Almighty has moved many Christians to assist in the mission of bringing the Word to countless hearts that have never heard of God. Thus, many are freed from the evil traps placed to trap them in bonds of sin. It is worth paying attention to the call of the Almighty, because you will be rewarded, even if you have given only a cup of cold water to someone (Matthew 10:42).

Whoever deviates from the Truth causes the Name of Jesus to be disrespected. Therefore, with the utmost urgency, this person must return to loving Him above any other name (Philippians 2:9), because if they continue to go astray, they will suffer punishment. It is far better to be at peace with God, living to do His work. Never cooperate with Satan, causing others to mock the Name that saves those who invoke Him (Romans 10:13).

The fact that you are not healed makes those that are lost dishonor the Name they should love. Strive to get things right with the Lord; thus, you will not be condemned. The only way to be delivered from temptation is by using the Name that defeats the kingdom of darkness. Whoever loves God will overcome the devil, if they fight and persevere with faith to the end. The Father is faithful in keeping those who belong to Him.

In turn, you must also be faithful; then, you will see the lost seek the Lord. When they see you winning in all areas, they will also have hope and will fight. Then, your preaching to your family, friends, and other people will be much more effective, pleasing to God, and will surprise Him.

In Christ with love,
