Leviticus 15:31 “You must keep the children of Yisra'el separate (Niddah) from their uncleanness, (the things of the world that defile them) that makes them unclean…”
Leviticus 14 — A picture of Yeshua, Redemption: Here we see the restoration process from areas of life (unclean/Tamei) that have defiled us. Then the sprinkling of Blood and Oil, which is Yeshua’s atonement of Salvation (Yeshuati), then the oil of the Ruach HaKodesh. It’s all about choosing Life (Deuteronomy 30:19).
Leviticus 15 — A great picture of the realms of unclean discharges in the lives of God’s people. These are all His people in His Israel in the wilderness. If you are of the order of Levi, then all these realms will make you unclean as you minister your priestly duties. But, If, If, If you are of the Order of Melchizedec, then as Yeshua “changed their status”, so can you change yours. Are you walking in that realm?

Our thoughts become our strongholds. They will take root and manifest into our lives.
Dwell on reals of the World!! The World’s seduction/Spirit of Baal/Anti-Messiah) and then these realms will manifest into your life as Fruit (rotten fruit)! Therefore, dwell on Him without ceasing! (Philippians 4:7-8)
