Cleanse Me, O God
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house.” —Luke 19:9

If you visit Jericho today, you will see two important sites. One is Elisha’s spring, where Elisha healed Jericho’s toxic water more than 2,800 years ago, making it pure again. The spring stands in a park, marked by colorful tiles. “To this day” the water is pure (2 Kings 2:22). The second important site is in the center of town. It’s a sycamore tree in a park. If you visit there, you will be told that while it might not be the same tree Zacchaeus climbed, it’s located in the same area where Zacchaeus met Jesus.

Zacchaeus was a tax collector—a traitor to fellow citizens because he worked for the
oppressive Roman government, and a thief because he could charge whatever he wanted for taxes and keep the extra money for himself. Zacchaeus was a polluted man.

But Jesus saw beyond all that, and he offered Zacchaeus a chance to separate himself from everything that defiled him. Zacchaeus showed by his response that from that day onward he was a changed man.

Jesus can do that with anyone. To those who seek him, he will be found. If people don’t know they are lost, Jesus will seek them out. The name Zacchaeus means “clean, pure.” How happy Zacchaeus must have been to finally live up to his name!

Prayer & Devotional Tips
Before you even begin your devotion, start with a prayer asking God to share His wisdom with you. The Bible says in James 4:8, “Come near to God and He will come near to you.” By reaching out to God at the beginning of your devotion, you'll be more likely to feel His presence.
Prayer Requests & Testimonies
Our prayer for you over the next thirty days is that your passion for God and His Word will be ignited, and that you will develop a hunger for His presence that is greater than ever before! We pray you make a spiritual investment and seek clarity in the areas of spiritual, personal, family and community. Don’t ever settle for anything less than a life full of passion and spiritual zeal for God. Keep the fire for God burning in your heart and do whatever it takes to feed your spiritual hunger for God.

Each day of prayer and fasting, we encourage you to keep a daily journal. Write any revelations that God gives you about yourself and about life in general. Share your prayer requests and your testimonies. Let's go into the War Room together!
