When the Lord shall have washed away
the filth of the daughters of Zion,
and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof
by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. Isaiah 4:4
God has to cleanse us
In order for us to serve Him
Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet.
Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with Me. John 13:8
In order for us to be His bride,
we have to be cleansed and we cannot do that cleansing on our own
My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord;
neither be weary of His correction:
For whom the Lord loveth He correcteth;
even as a father the son in whom He delighteth. Proverbs 3:11-12
When Jesus brings up something you have done, the spirit of judgment,
it is to help you, to cleanse you, for your purifying, by the spirit of burning
The repentance and understanding of His ways will help you receive it
Purifying and washing happens with His presence, with His word
We will face Him on every deed so only He can do the purification,
God forgives and makes new
Once it has been brought before Jesus
who died for sin that separates us from the Father,
once we have allowed the cleansing, we are cleansed
As far as the east is from the west,
so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:12
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18
Non-holiness, or those who refuse to let go of sin,
may not be welcomed into heaven
If we are willing, we shall experience the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning as part of our purification process
But He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me,
I shall come forth as gold. Job 23:10
