Job 22:21 Acquaint now yourself with Him [agree with God and show yourself to be conformed to His will] and be at peace; by that [you shall prosper and great] good shall come to you--prosperity.
22 Receive, I pray you, the law and instruction from His mouth and lay up His words in your heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty [and submit and humble yourself before Him], you will be built up [prospered]; if you put away unrighteousness [wrongdoing] far from your tents,
24 If you lay gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brook [considering them of little worth],
25 And make the Almighty your gold and [the Lord] your precious silver treasure,
26 Then you will have delight in the Almighty, and you will lift up your face to God.
27 You will make your prayer to Him, and He will hear you, and you will pay your vows.
28 You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God's favor] shall shine upon your ways.
29 When they make [you] low [discouraged], you will say, [There is] a lifting up [so cheer up]; and the humble person He lifts up and saves; makes happy.
30 He will even deliver the one [for whom you intercede] who is not innocent; yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands; rescued by your purity.

A PURE Conscience--True TRUTH
"A man of conscience, is one who never acquires tolerance, well- being, success, public standing, or approval on the part of prevailing opinion; never at the expense of the truth."

PURE In Faith
Acts 26:18...
To open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may thus receive forgiveness and release from their sins and a place and portion among those who are "consecrated" and purified by faith in Me...Jesus!

God Make Us PURE and Holy...
I Corinth. 1:30
But it is from Him that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom [and Justification] from God, [revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation previously hidden, manifesting itself as] our Righteousness [thus making us upright and putting us in right standing with God], and our Consecration [making us pure and holy; true Sanctification], and our Redemption [providing our ransom from eternal penalty for sin]. So we NOW have this ministry of Reconcilliation...reconciling man back to God...making us all able ministers...this is the "good news"...

PURE Water...The WORD...
Hebrews 10:22
Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith (by that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness), having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty (evil) conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water...the water of the washing of the WORD...

To The PURE All Things Are PURE...
Titus 1:14-16 (AMP)
15 To the pure [in heart and conscience] all things are pure, but to the defiled and corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are defiled and polluted.
16 They profess to know God [to recognize, perceive, and be acquainted with Him], but deny and disown and renounce Him by what they do; they are detestable and loathsome, unbelieving and disobedient and disloyal and rebellious, and [they are] unfit and worthless for good work (deed or enterprise) of any kind.
2 Corinthians 11:2-4 (NLT)
2 For I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. I promised you as a pure bride[*] to one husband—Christ.
3 But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.
4 You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.

May You Excel & Overflow In Love...Pure...
Thessalonians 3:12-13 (AMP)
12 And may the Lord make you to increase and excel and overflow in love for one another and for all people, just as we also do for you,
13 So that He may strengthen and confirm and establish your hearts faultlessly pure and unblamable in holiness in the sight of our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) with all His saints (the holy and glorified people of God)! Amen, (so be it)!

May His Glory Be Manifested In Purity...A Prayer
Philippians 1:9-11 (AMP)
9 And this I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that your love may display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment],
10 So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value [recognizing the highest and the best, and distinguishing the moral differences], and that you may be untainted and pure and unerring and blameless [so that with hearts sincere and certain and unsullied, you may approach] the day of Christ [not stumbling nor causing others to stumble].
11 May you abound in and be filled with the fruits of righteousness (of right standing with God and right doing) which come through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One), to the honor and praise of God [that His glory may be both manifested and recognized].

Blameless...Barefoot & Holy...Purified...
Today, are you standing in the presence of a Holy God?
Then remove your shoes and walk as a “barefoot priest” before your God!
There are many people who attend the churches throughout the world that act as though they have no responsibilities to live holy and godly lives. I have spent my whole life in the churches across America and I have never heard so many people confess unrighteousness and impurity as a state of their life in Christ Jesus as I do today. Truly this is a sign of the apostasy where men turn away from the sound doctrine of redemption in Christ Jesus and take on their own identities and those, which men and the powers of darkness would impose upon them. If our souls have not been washed clean in the blood of Jesus now then when will they be? If our spiritual garments are not spotless now when will they be? If we have not been made a new creation now then when will we be? If we are not the holy and righteous people of God now then when will we be? The cry of the old gospel song rings out today for all who will hear:
"Are you washed in the blood;
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?
Are they whiter than snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?"
There is an invitation now for you to meet with the Lord and to have an ever increasing intimacy with Him, but you must believe His report and accept His salvation for there is no other way to come into His presence. Today the Lord says to you: "be holy even as I am holy."

The Pure Life IS The Perfect Life -- Blessed
Proverbs 16:1-3 (AMP)
1 THE PLANS of the mind and orderly thinking belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue.
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits (the thoughts and intents of the heart).
3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.
Psalm 19:7-9 (AMP)
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the [whole] person; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure and bright, enlightening the eyes.
9 The [reverent] fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
Psalm 24:3-5 (AMP)
3 Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

The Crucibles Of Life Produce The Pure Life NOW
You are IN the very crucible of circumstances, circumcision and circumspection...a spiritual season when you will reap the results of your attitudes, motivations, actions and all decisions and especially your words. There will be much for you to learn from this pruning and harvest time. A separation of the weeds from the flowers. [To Be Fruitful You Have To Flower; Weeds Only Choke Out Flowers To Prevent Flowers From Being Fruitful.] The question is: will you actually gain wisdom and insight that will guide you into the realm of greater blessing and all spiritual favor, or will you place blame on others for any misfortune, mistrust and wrong attitudes? You would benefit greatly from looking yourself squarely in the face/mirror of His Word and being honest about taking responsibility for your deeds, doubts, beliefs, attitudes and confessions..."professions of faith"..."Are they Godly?," says the Lord.Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same....Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap....Each one of your beliefs, decisions, confessions and doctrinal differences influence thousands...get on the same page now![Ephesians 4: 1-8...and...29 thru 5:2...]
