There are two things that really stick out to me personally in this section, but the lessons that are here are awesome! They point towards Jesus – to the max! (Dude) But let’s stick to personal.

If you touch something unclean, you become unclean. Jesus touched people who were unclean and didn’t become unclean. In fact, He made them clean! There are 2 reasons that we touch things that are unclean. The first is to make them clean like Jesus, and in that case we shouldn’t fear becoming “unclean”, or effected by the evil that we are purging from others. The second is that we CAN be totally affected by “uncleanliness” when we are participating in the thing that would make us unclean. The Lord reminded me that I can’t hold fire without being burned. I need to be careful where I go, what I do and what I say AND what I accept into my mind and soul.

The second is that it is the water that cleanses and the blood and oil that brings atonement. There is such a great parallel in our life, which I won’t go into, but the Lord spoke to me about first being washed with water – with His Words. That is how I am cleansed! The other thing is that the oil AND the blood brought forgiveness. I knew the blood did, but the oil… How I need the Holy Spirit to minister to me the forgiveness that the blood brings, and more than that, anything without the Holy Spirit ministering it to me wouldn’t be alive to me
