The Royal Dry cleaner

That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:27).

Holy Spirit is the Royal Dry Cleaner. So, it's his job to remove every spot, blemish, and wrinkle in order to prepare us for the second coming of Christ. See Jesus is coming for a bride who is spotless. 

And as the royal and official dry cleaner,  it's Holy Spirit's duty to make us ready as a fit vessel to wear the royal diadem and the pure white linen for the righteous acts of the saints.

But, how does he do this? David said: that God desired truth inward parts. That's where the Holy Spirit comes on the scene. He is the spirit of truth, and it's his job to reveal wherever there is deception, wherever there is falsity, wherever there is any spot, blemish or wrinkle that does not reflect the nature of Christ. We are encouraged to take captive every thought that exalts itself above our knowledge of Christ. So He shines his divine spotlight on the broken places, on the blemishes, that He might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

His truth puts out of doors, the fear, the anxiety, the lies of the enemy, and in their place, we have the cleansing power of Christ's blood and the truth of his word on that spot, that blemish. That wrinkle is ironed out and is removed and bit by bit, He prepares the righteous linen. He prepares us to be the Bride of Christ to become the inhabiting place of God's presence to come to rule and reign with him.

I haven't always understood the purpose and the ministry of Holy Spirit. But for the first time in my life, I have a personal intimate understanding of his working of his presence, of his purpose here on earth. which is to prepare the bride to make her ready. Every step toward healing, every dealt-with issue, every healed hurt, every wound sutured shut, is a blemish, a spot and a wrinkle that has been removed- another step in the preparation of making me ready and making you ready 

to receive our husband Jesus Christ. It really is a simple assignment: The one that takes a great deal of patience, kindness, and faithfulness. Holy Spirit is ultimately a gentleman who handles our dirty laundry with care and concern.
