That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. (Ephesians 5:27 KJV (c)2016 by Thomas Nelson) Our Lord and Savior JESUS wants His Church to be healthy. Animal sacrifices that were brought into the temple in the Old Testament had to be without blemish. Blemishes refer to defects and deformities. Spiritual blemishes refer to sin sickness. It may consist of the following: B-Blindness (refusal to see GOD's Way, ignoring sin in one's life); L-Lame (crippled by fear, not walking out one's faith in JESUS); E-Evil Ways (one's old way of thinking, and doing things);  M-Misunderstandings (conflicts with people); I-ill Will, Iniquity (unforgiveness, bitterness); S-Sin (Outward disobedience against GOD); H-Harm (lifestyle practices that negatively affect others). JESUS washes us through the water of His Word and sanctifies us. (see Ephesians 5:26) Thank GOD for JESUS. He is making His Church (Body/Wife) ready for His return. Hallelujah! Glory to GOD! In JESUS' Name. Amen.

If you do not know JESUS personally as Lord and Savior, receive Him into your heart, Today. You may say the following prayer, or you may use your own words. Dear GOD, Thank You for sending Your Son JESUS to die on the cross for the sins of the world, and Him rising again on the third day. I ask that You forgive me of my sins. Please come into my heart and help me to live for You. In JESUS' Name. Amen.
If you said the prayer, and meant it in your heart, Welcome to the Family of GOD. Continue in The Lord. Let others see JESUS in you.
