In what #city do you live? Many years ago in the early 1900’s most people lived a rural life with our #plumbing or #electricity. It wasn’t until the 1960’s with the invention of air conditioning that cities in America multiplied. With that great enrichment of our comfort came a new lifestyle! These cities had new sewers, plumbing, electrical lines, streets, paving and subdivisions. As the cities grew so did the problems with all those conveniences. Today we have storms which have demolished whole sections of towns which have not recovered. Now another hurricane named Dorian is approaching Florida in the coming days. Our small city just had a strong rain burst in the downtown area flooding homes and cars because the drainage system was not able to handled it. Now what does that have to do with the city of God? May I share – GOD IS PERFECTION AND SO IS HIS CITY. “GOD is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble therefore we will not fear though the earth be remove though the mountains be carried into the sea though waters roar and mountains shake. There is a river that the streams whereof shall MAKE GLAD THE CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY PLACE OF THE TABERNACLES OF THE MOST HIGH…..the LORD of hosts is with us.” Psalms 46 John wrote of his vision of the holy city in Revelation 20 “I saw a new heaven and earth: for the first heaven and earth were passed away and there was no more sea. I, JOHN SAW THE HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN.”

The Latin word redimere means to buy back or repurchase which signifies ownership by the #redeemer. The Bible speaks of redemption throughout the Old and New Testament which is not through a #coupon at a local store, but through the #blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. How can that be? He paid the price for our sins and repurchased us. “IN CHRIST WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR TRESPASSES, ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE” Eph 1:7 “Jesus gave himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.” Gal.1:4 “The LORD REDEEMS THE SOUL OF HIS SERVANTS and none of them that trust in Him shall be condemned” Ps.34;22 “Into God’s hand I commit my spirit, Thou has REDEEMED ME, O LORD GOD OF TRUTH” Ps.31:5 Years ago we had coupon/stamp redemption centers where you went to claim your purchase with stamps. They no longer exist, but I pray you will claim your saving redemption in Jesus Christ today. “Looking for that blessed hope, and glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ who gave Himself for us that HE MIGHT REDEEM US from all iniquity, and purify us unto Himself” Titus2:13,14 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God having been justified freely by HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS” Rom.3:23,24 The LIVING GOD IS AN ETERNAL REDEEMER. Heb.9:12

#Cleanses are offered for all kinds of #impurities. Have you ever put on a face mask to remove clogged pores? Maybe you have tried a hot sauna to sweat out #toxins. Then there are liquid drainers which remove intrusive substances from internal organs such as the liver and kidneys. A warm bath or shower restores us all not only to feel better about ourselves, but it makes others more pleased with our company! We all need cleansing of our bodies, but securing a deep cleanse of our soul is impossible on our own. You pay many $$ for the spa treatment that uses white or blue lights for purifying your body; however, Jesus Christ has prepaid your cleansing if you only claim it. “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we walk in the light, as He is in the light we have fellowship one with another, and the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD’S SON CLEANSES US FROM ALL SIN. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we admit our sins GOD is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and GOD WILL CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS” 1John1:7-9 Ask for the deep cleanse today!
