Did you know Beloved,
That even Jesus folded his linen clothes after his death and resurrection?
Before we get into that.
If you ever find yourself in a manner of the heart or state of the mind that is anything less that joyful, after saying the appropriate scripture, take a quick survey of your home and see if there is place where you feel God is telling you to take action and bring order.
Sometimes things can feel off if God is wanting to cleanse a place or it may need order.
A messy home attracts a messy mind.
We have the mind of Christ.
We serve a God of order.
When your home is tidy – you will feel better, your husband and sons and daughters will thrive.
This also sets the example of the type of spouse your sons and daughters will marry.
It teaches responsibility & accountability.
It helps train them up in the way they should go.
Super important.
I don’t mean perfection either. Only God is perfect.
So today I was reading John 20:7
“and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.”
God showed me something so cool.
So some people say this really helps to prove Jesus was resurrected because the linen was folded.
Sometimes robbers would break into tombs to steal what they could- and they didn’t care about the linen wrapped around peoples face- to say it would have been thrown for sure if it were a bunch of robbers was common.
Now what I found so cool was… back then, tradition had it that when a slave was serving his master, he knew when to start cleaning up when the master threw in the towel or napkin during meal time. That meant… “I AM finished”
But let’s say the master would go to the restroom but was not done eating… then the master would fold the napkin neatly… that meant… “I AM coming back.”
So here, Jesus knew that. It was common knowledge.
So He folded his napkin saying… “I AM COMING BACK.”
Quiet the statement!
Amen & hallelujah!
So… next time you find yourself folding clothes or linen… how easy is it now to remember that Jesus is coming back!
Beautiful right?
Takes cleaning and being a homemaker to a whole different level…
I personally must always have this cleaning item in my home…
It’s the best nontoxic one I’ve found. Smells so GOOD.
And it’s not like one of those scents that instantly fades.
It lingers! I’m obsessed.
I used it on almost everything. Stovetop, countertops, doors, walls, the restroom, the floors.
I’m currently using the one called Abundance– I chose that one because I believe we’ve entered into that season.
It’s all prayed over by the Kingdom owner. I love that.
So when I spray it, I’m reminded of the promises of God.
I also highly recommend praying in the Spirit when you clean, even if it’s just for a few moments, I find it really helps.
I love how Jesus, being God, He could have done whatever He wanted with that linen. He could have left a trashy mess.
But He didn’t.
He’s the greatest leader. He set the example & took the time to fold it. It says a lot about His character.
Until next time friend,
Julianne
