2026年9月30日｜启示录 7:14
「这些人是从大患难中出来的，曾用羔羊的血把衣裳洗白净了。」
灵修
清理——洁净。
启示录让我们看见，在神成就祂的旨意之前，有一个很重要的主题：洁净与预备。
在启示录第7章中，约翰看见一大群身穿白衣的人，站在宝座和羔羊面前。他们的衣裳洁白，不是因为从来没有被玷污，而是因为他们曾经「用羔羊的血把衣裳洗白净了」。
真正的洁净，是从羔羊开始。
有时候，我们以为神在我们生命中的工作，总是在「加添」——赐给我们更多恩赐、机会、资源和祝福。
但有时候，神正在做的，却是清理与洁净。
祂清理我们生命中长期累积的东西；
祂显明那些需要面对和处理的地方；
祂挪去不再适合下一阶段的事物；
祂洁净我们的动机，使我们的心重新完全归向祂。
清理不是结束，而是预备。
启示录19章告诉我们：
「新妇也自己预备好了。」（启示录19:7）
神洁净祂的百姓，因为祂正在预备祂的新妇。
到了启示录21章，神宣告：
「看哪，我将一切都更新了！」（启示录21:5）
所以，当神开始在我们的生命中进行清理时，不要只看见什么正在被挪去，也要问：
神正在为什么腾出空间？
有些旧的需要清理；
有些重担需要放下；
有些关系需要整理；
有些动机需要洁净；
有些生命的领域需要重新交给神。
神的目的，不只是留下一个空出来的位置，祂正在为新的事预备空间。
今日默想
清理 → 洁净 → 预备 → 一切更新
洁净，是为了预备；
预备，使我们进入更新。
今天，我愿意问主：
「主啊，我生命中有什么需要祢来清理？有什么需要被洁净、整理或挪去，使我能够预备好，进入祢所要成就的新工作？」
不要害怕神开始清理。
当神开始挪去一些东西，也许正意味着，祂正在预备一个新的开始。
祷告
主耶稣，谢谢祢借着羔羊的血洁净我。
求祢用祢的光照亮我的生命，显明一切不属于祢的、不再适合前面道路的，以及任何拦阻我更深跟随祢的事物。
求祢洁净我的心，整理我的生命，使我成为圣洁、合乎祢使用的器皿。
当祢挪去旧的，求祢赐我信心，相信祢正在预备新的。
主啊，洁净我，预备我，更新我。
愿我的生命预备好，迎接祢将要成就的新事。
阿们。
CLEANING | God Is Cleansing and Preparing for a New Beginning
30 September 2026 | Revelation 7:14
“These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
Devotional
Cleaning — Cleansing.
The Book of Revelation shows us that before God brings His purposes to completion, there is an important theme: cleansing and preparation.
In Revelation 7, John sees a great multitude dressed in white, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. Their robes are white not because they were never stained, but because they had “washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
True cleansing begins with the Lamb.
Sometimes we think God’s work in our lives is always about adding — giving us more gifts, opportunities, resources, and blessings.
But sometimes, what God is doing is Cleaning.
He clears away things that have accumulated in our lives.
He reveals areas that need to be dealt with.
He removes what is no longer needed for the next season.
He purifies our motives so that our hearts may return fully to Him.
Cleaning is not the end; it is preparation.
Revelation 19 tells us:
“His bride has made herself ready.” (Revelation 19:7)
God cleanses His people because He is preparing His Bride.
Then, in Revelation 21, God declares:
“Behold, I am making all things new.” (Revelation 21:5)
So when God begins a season of Cleaning, do not only look at what is being removed. Ask:
What is God making room for?
Some old things need to be cleared away.
Some burdens need to be released.
Some relationships need to be put in order.
Some motives need to be purified.
Some areas of our lives need to be surrendered to God again.
God’s purpose is not simply to leave an empty space. He is preparing that space for something new.
Today’s Reflection
Cleaning → Cleansing → Preparing → Making All Things New
Cleansing prepares us.
Preparation positions us for renewal.
Today, I want to ask the Lord:
“Lord, what in my life needs Your Cleaning? What needs to be cleansed, put in order, or removed so that I may be ready for the new work You want to do?”
Do not be afraid when God begins to clean.
When God starts clearing things away, it may be a sign that He is preparing a new beginning.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You for cleansing me through the blood of the Lamb.
Shine Your light into my life and reveal anything that does not belong to You, anything that is no longer needed for the road ahead, and anything that hinders me from following You more deeply.
Cleanse my heart and put my life in order. Make me holy and useful for Your purposes.
When You remove the old, give me faith to trust that You are preparing something new.
Lord, cleanse me, prepare me, and renew me.
May my life be ready for the new thing You are about to do.
Amen.
