2025 21 Day Fast:

Week One: The Outer Court / Redemption /Belonging to the family of God

Day 4: Wednesday
Next in the outer court is the Bronze Laver. The priest washed himself in preparation to enter the Inner Court. Being clean was a serious matter. Whenever the priest entered the tabernacle or approached the altar, he washed in the bronze wash basin in the courtyard (Ex. 30:17–19). God warned the priests that they must be clean or they would die (Ex. 30:21). They had to wash every time because God required perfect purity for those who approach him. No single washing could ever accomplish complete and final purification.

Our next step is to repent and be baptized in water.
Mark 1:4 “John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance.”

Repentance means a change of mind that is expected to manifest itself in conduct. Baptize means to immerse or saturate.
You now belong to the kingdom of God its time to immerse yourself into the family of God.

Scripture to mediate on:
This week meditate on Colossians 1: 13-14 “He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son He loves in whom we have redemption for the forgiveness of sins,”
