Purification, Cleansing
What I need and long for these days is a thorough cleansing and purification of my spirit, mind, heart and soul and body - every cell of it. Perhaps the body part is the easiest because the body has a built-in , natural mechanism for flushing out toxins, physical toxins , although sometimes this might not be enough if one abuses the body by taking in really harmful substances , excessively. The mind , heart and soul part I find that one has to be aware of the toxicity and one has the consciousness and the will to do the purification and cleansing. One has to be aware of the negativities that have come in from the outside and that have come from the inside and be vigilant in having a positive inner life. And this needs a lot of prayer and and a lot of awareness of only thinking about what Philippians 3:8 ( if I remember correctly) suggests. And these have to be done on a daily basis or even on a shorter-time cycle so the toxins will not have the chance to fester and harm the inner self. Forgiveness , both inwards and outwards, plays a very big role in this. I understand now why Jesus says to forgive seventy times seventy which I understand to mean , every time a wrong , an offense, a negativity occurs, inside or out. It's a spiritual practicality,much in the same way that the body has an automatic everyday detoxifying mechanism. Forgiveness is that automatic everyday detoxifying mechanism , of the spirit,mind, heart and soul! ADMG. INDNJC!
