God Doing Dishes?

This came from a vision a fellow traveler passed on to me:

doing-dishesA while back, I was in a prayer meeting, just blissing out on God’s presence, when a vision came – there was the Ancient of Days doing the dishes.  The sleeves of His robes were rolled up and He was in front of me, I could see His back.  He was up to His elbows in a big tub of water, washing a vessel, a large dinner type plate, and as He pulled it from the water, He turned to me and looked me straight in the eye, and rubbed His thumb over the plate which squeaked, squeaky clean.  The vibration of that squeak went from my left heel, up my body and jerked me out of my seat and stood me upright, but kind of hanging out to the right, suspended as on the Rod of Correction as I beheld His steely gaze – I was literally suspended there, and giggling like a child as the vibration of the squeak tickled so much.  He then returned to His tub and to His task.  I thought that I had gotten the message then, but truly, it had only just begun.  Now I think that I am beginning to truly comprehend it, but have not yet full apprehended it, but I press on and am pressed on toward the Mark of my high calling in Christ.

 

We have to submit ourselves as vessels to be cleansed by the Lord, fit for His service, lest we try by our works to present ourselves as being spotless, to clean up our own act, and in so doing develop our own Quixotic quest to clean up the world – to play at being Christ and so, inadvertently, become yet another antichrist, still “preventing” the manifestation of Jesus Christ, proclaiming our understanding rather than proclaiming Him, and showing ourselves to be a judge instead of a witness, not walking and strengthened in the Power of His Resurrection Life as we supposed ourselves to be, but still nailed to a tree, all the while thinking we are free.

P.S. If you can hear it and believe it by faith, we are all squeaky clean!
