Wash your Feet

The Last thing Jesus did at the last supper was wash the disciple’s feet, there are many different representations to what Jesus did at the end of the last supper. Though, the main representation was a servants heart.
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. John 13:14
In those days, they wore sandals, and they walked mostly every where they went, can you imagine what their feet must have looked liked or smelled like by the end of the day. Think back to the Israelites in the wilderness, it was suppose to take days to get to their destination and it became years, and there sandals never wore out. However, I am sure there was a lot of foot washing going on during the journey to the promise land.
"So I took them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness. Ezekiel 20:10
The Lord instructed his disciples that if they were not welcomed they were to wipe the dust from their feet and leave.
If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave. Matthew 10:14
What I am conveying to you, is this, there are many faithful believers who are carrying a lot of dust on their feet, because they carry burdens that have felt insurmountable, and the hope that has been deferred has made the heart sick (Proverbs 13:12). Many believers in the body of Christ have traveled much, but have seen little, and the dust feels like it keeps piling up, even though you know your steps have been ordered by the Lord. Psalms 37:23. You have faced doors that have closed, and with a diligent heart nothing has manifested, for that open door of opportunity. There is too much dust on the soles of the feet, looking at them in wonder, the spirit filled man and women groans asking. How do I get this dust off me?
The Lord is saying “it’s off, the time of refreshing is now!” When I AM was washing the feet of my disciples, I was refreshing them. When the Israelites shoes did not ware out in the wilderness, and I brought water forth for them, I AM was refreshing them. When I told my disciples to wipe the dust off their feet and leave the place that did not welcome them, I AM was refreshing them.
The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way. Psalms 37:23
The Lord is saying, this is the season of refreshing, He is going to uplift, and quench the thirst of HIS people, with his promises. The Lord says, don’t worry I will wash the dust from your feet, for now is the time of my refreshing, doors will open, burdens will be removed, and hope restored. I am the God who refreshes, but I do require this that you search your heart, and if there be sin repent.
"Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; Acts 3:19
Be refreshed,
