YOU CANNOT REMOVE GREASE WITH WATER

YOU CANNOT REMOVE GREASE WITH WATER

 

No matter how hard you try, water alone will not remove or cut through grease. So it is with your flesh, you cannot destroy it with human will power. So it is with sin, you cannot remove it with your good works. So it is with bitterness, you cannot remove it by retaliation. In every case there is a special ingredient to deal with the negative substance. It takes a degreaser to breakdown grease and wash it away. It takes My Holy Spirit to kill your selfish flesh character. It takes My blood to wash away your sin! And it takes forgiveness to erase bitterness.

Why is it, that it takes less than 60 seconds to discover, water will not remove grease, but a lifetime of repeated failures to discover the futility of the others. The answer, in one word, is blindness! That's right, "the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers' minds that they should not discern the truth, preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the good news of My glory, because I am the express Image and Likeness of My Father, who is the key element in the other three ingredients." 2 Corinthians 4:4 AMP Can you believe that natural man has the knowledge and ability to do a physical heart transplant, yet has no knowledge that he even possesses a spiritual heart, much less has the need for a new one.  

Here are the facts: When man refuses to glorify Me as God, and is not thankful for My goodness; they become vain in their imaginations, and their spiritual heart is darkened. [22] Professing themselves to be wise, they become fools! Romans 1:21-22 Many of you have spouses and relatives, bosses, coworkers, and friends who are totally blind. So how do you reach that blind, husband, or wife, or child? First of all, you check to see that you, yourself are not partially blind, contributing to their blindness.  You do this  by being an active part of a body of loving believers. 

Other believers will help you be aware of any blind spots you may have, "lest there be in anyone or anything wicked, and unbelieving in your heart that refuses to cleave to, trust in, and rely on Me, which will lead you and others to grow cold and sin and desert Me. [13] The body that flows in My love, looks out for one another by warning, admonishing, urging, and encouraging one another every day, as a lifestyle. I have designed this so that none of you become hardened and settle into rebellion by the deceitfulness of sin ." Hebrews 3:12-13 AMP

Now from this position of spiritual strength and love, you are to pray and intercede for heaven's intervention into the lives of those you love, which includes even your enemies. Then in response, the angels of heaven go to work on your behalf to remove the blinders, that they can begin to see the kingdom. Please keep in mind, no matter how plain and simple you make it, "except a man be born again, the blindness will remain and he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 KJV You cannot save them, but by your changed life and actions you plant and water seed, so that I can bring forth the increase. 

Face it, these people are not going to read and understand My word, but as I change your life, "you become the word to them, that's right, a living word testimony because My Spirit "writes it in your heart, to be known and read of all people, including your X, your spouse, your kids, those in your school and workplace, and your enemies:" 2 Corinthians 3:2 KJV It is My plan and heaven's design to "let your light so shine before all those you know, that they may see your good works, because of your new heart, and eventually come to know and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16 KJV Now the more time you spend with Me each day, the more I can write on your heart, it's up to you what your friends and loved ones read today!
