We were saved by grace, acquitted of our sins by the blood of Jesus, which cleanses us from all iniquity (1 John 1:7). Therefore, we are more than conquerors, because the Son of God defeated the devil for us (Romans 8:1ss). Now, how should we proceed to prove that we love the Lord? Having and keeping His commandments (John 14:21). We are walking toward the Great Day, in which He will catch up His Church, taking it to the Kingdom of God, where there is no sin (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

The Savior's declaration resolves the problems of the saved who have fallen into sin after being washed: they need to seek the Lord (John 5:40), confess their iniquities (1 John 1:9), practice good works again (Revelation 2:5), returning to the Lord (Jeremiah 3:7), as the Church, the Bride of Christ, desires (Song of Solomon 6:13). There are supplications in favor of those who had their spirit recreated in the Master and fell foolishly, but did not deny the One who redeemed them (Revelation 2:13; 3:8).

Whoever strays from the Lord has their foot in the mire, but they are God's property and have His promise of never being abandoned (Hebrews 13:5). Following the example of the prodigal son in his decision, the one who strayed will be welcomed back and restored to his ministry (Luke 15:11-24). Even though death is looming over you, rise up now, for the Almighty has not forgotten your first love (Revelation 2:4-7). It is necessary to make a decision now!

The part that sustains your life is stuck in the mud, and the beings of destruction want to enter your spirit, but they have not succeeded, because, as a saved one, you are an enclosed garden, and the key is with the Lord (Song of Solomon 4:12). God has the vessel with water to wash you, in order to remove all the mud and the germs that await the day of your departure. Christ said in the book of Revelation: To him who overcomes (Revelation 2.7,17,26; 3.21); so, do not be the loser of your battle!

You just need to wash your feet, going through the process of repentance, which shattered your hope, ended your certainty, and almost led you to eternal perdition. The Lord is by your side to welcome you back and give you the abundant life He brought you, but you despised it. Wake up! Jesus is the Savior, the Healer to cure you, and God to tell you: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God (Isaiah 41.10a).

Your feet have trodden on dangerous and deadly ground, but God says in His Word: The Lord upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down (Psalm 145.14). Therefore, rejoice! You are not an exception. Your soul must be pulled out of the pit where your feet are stuck. If what you did was sad, the Lord's action to recover you will be wonderful. Prodigal son, be wise, return now and the Heavenly Father will restore you!

When you surrendered to Jesus, He cleansed you completely. When you fell, your foot got dirty. The Lord was greatly disappointed to see you stray down the path of error. However, He calls you: "Return to your Bridegroom." Soon, Christ will descend from the clouds to rescue His precious sheep. Will you continue in the hand of Satan? The Lord says: "Return, return, and return!"

In Christ, with love,
