Make us a Clean Vessel Lord

In Psalm 32 we talked about God cleaning our heart from iniquity and what that really means:

In the Bible, iniquity (from Hebrew avon) refers to deep-seated moral crookedness, perversity, or twisted behavior, often describing a persistent, premeditated sin that deviates from God's upright standard, leading to guilt and separation from God, contrasting with simpler "missed the mark" sins. It signifies a deformed character or unjust action, encompassing the essence of the wrong, the guilt, and the resulting punishment, like David's sin with Bathsheba. 
Key Meanings & Nuances:
Crookedness/Twisting: The root idea is being "bent," "twisted," or "perverted" from what is straight and righteous, affecting one's character and actions. 
Intentional Sin: Often implies a deliberate choice to do wrong, a hardening of the heart, or a lifestyle of rebellion, rather than just an accidental slip-up. 
Guilt & Consequence: It carries the weight of guilt and the resulting brokenness, injustice, and separation from God, creating a "bent" state. 
Distinction from "Sin": While often used interchangeably with "sin" (chattah) and "transgression" (pesha), iniquity (avon) emphasizes the inner corruption or twisted nature, while pesha is willful rebellion, and chattah is missing the mark. 
Examples in Scripture:
David's Sin: His affair with Bathsheba, leading to murder, became a defining iniquity he confessed (Psalm 51:2). 
Isaiah: Uses avon to describe the spiritual confusion and dazed state resulting from rebellion (Isaiah 21:3). 
Psalm 51: David's prayer highlights the three Hebrew terms: "Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity (avon), and cleanse me from my sin (chattah)!".  

In Acts 12 we talked about the maturing of us.  We must be clean in our vessels in order for the miraculous to come forth like God wants to do in our lives. We talked about Peter and his persecution days in prison and how an angel come and saved him. Lord help us to be refined like pure gold to be used by you!
