I sat with my eyes closed and focused on Jesus.
What do You want to say to me today?
I saw myself holding a small clay pot. The water of Holy Spirit trickled in, filling it up. I tilted it toward my mouth to drink, but as I did, I saw the clay mixing with the water and contaminating it. Then I asked God to glaze the pot with Holy Spirit so I could consume Him uncontaminated by myself. To receive wholly. To receive purely. I saw a shiny glaze come over the pot and I felt hydrated as I drank deeply. I also felt peace and clarity come over my mind.
God reminded me that we must be sealed by Him if we are to receive purely. Our minds hold the contamination of wrong perception. Wrongs from the past. Faulty thinking. Selfishness. Self-condemnation. A myriad of different things muddy the purity of His word released over our heart.
Oh God!!! Seal me with Your presence.
The only way a clay pot becomes sealed is through glaze put into the fire. It must be fired in the kiln to become solid.
Let Your fire fall on me Lord!!!!
Today I encourage you to go before God and discern whether or not your clay pot is sealed. If it isn’t, then ask God to come and place it in the fire. Don’t be afraid. Just know that maturity really only comes from walking through fire. Don’t you want to embrace it, rather than run away?
God seal our hearts. Restore our thoughts and help us to see You clearly. Don’t allow the mud of our past and wrong thinking to distort Your word over our lives. Come Holy Spirit and seal us. Seal us with Your presence. You are the best teacher. Thank You for loving us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Yet You, Lord are our Father. We are the clay, You are the Potter; we are all the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you My message.” So, I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of the Lord came to me. He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in My hand, Israel. Jeremiah 18:1-6
