Wash Me Clean
There is the work of repentance where we surrender everything to the Lord.
It is the space in which we bring the heaviness that of the things which are considered dead and give them to the Lord.
We turn from those things and move away from those things.
There is the work of turning our faith toward God.
In this we are activating our faith which prompts us to action.
The next is there is are baptisms that must occur in our walk of maturity.
In times past the work involves literal bathings in water that would wash the priest from their sin.
There were waiting periods where even after the washing the priest could not be a part of the congregation.
Such as if they came into contact with a dead body.
The work of baptisms is an active change that will happen with the believer.
Each is washing away a part of the believer and breathing new deeper dimension into the believer.
Baptisms are an essential part of our Maturity in our Relationship with God
Baptisms lead to the something within dying and being renewed
David presents the washings that will be needed long before we see them in the NT
Psalm 51 will give us greater understanding of what those Baptisms are
There will four baptisms we can see in Scripture but each are dependent on our response to the Lord’s prompting.
Two main baptisms are spoken but in these are the added washings.
If we are to grow into maturity in the Lord it is essential to experience each of these baptisms.

Our sinful nature
from birth

We have sinned Against God
Only God can blot out our transgression
The death of our old Nature and dependency on God is revealed

v.4 Newness of Life
This baptism focuses on who we once were, but there is another that will transform us into who we are to be.

Baptism of Fire
Season of pressing testing and being refined
1 Cor 3:12-14 speaks to the nature of this type of baptism

what you build will become manifest

what remains yields a reward… your ministry is revealed
Jesus was baptized in water and immediately taken by the Holy Spirit to be tempted

He did it in the tiredness in the hunger
