Benefits Of Washing The Feet
By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face

Introduction
When Jesus was about to leave the world, He washed the feet of the Disciples and asked them to be doing so, from time to time. Today, I tell you that what Jesus did was right. Also, I teach you to wash not only the feet, but wash as well the face and the palms of the hands. They are the major contact points of your body, soul and spirit. Washing with water is spiritual cleansing, and no worthy saint neglects the practice.
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet;
you also ought to wash one another's feet.
John 13:14
Moral Reasons Why Jesus Introduced Washing Of The Feet
The moral benefits are:
- To teach us humility. Greatness consists in humble service to God and mankind.
- Washing of the feet eradicates pride and pomposity. The moment a great man washes the feet of the lowly people, his tendency to be proud and pompous is destroyed. Also, the moment a lowly man has his feet washed by a great man, the lowly man is invariably disposed to be humble and simple.
Scientific Reasons Why Jesus Introduced Washing Of The Feet
The scientific benefits are:
- All the organs of the body (brain, eye, heart, etc) are connected to the foot (like an electrical circuit). By washing the feet, Jesus also washed the body organs.
- Scientifically, you observe that all masts, thunder-proof cables and electrical wirings are connected to the ground.
- The foot is a gateway to the organs inside the body. Therefore, whenever you apply medicine to the leg, also apply it (massage) on the foot. The best time to do this is at night, when you want to sleep, so that you do not loose the medicine by walking about.
- The earth is a magnet of great size. Therefore, it has both magnetic and electric fields. The fields enable the use of compass for navigation in the ships and airplanes. Every region of the earth has its own average values of the earth’s magnetism and electricity, measured as the Earth currents of the degree of magnetism in that area.
Every living thing on Earth needs to be in contact with the Earth currents. Where a person is denied access to contact with the Earth, his health and spirituality deteriorates. Recent studies show that people who live in townships or buildings lacking access to natural ground and environments suffer from nerve conditions and generally do have poor health. That is why it seems that those people who live in the country are stronger and healthier than those who live in the cities. For example, a rural dwelling finds it both easy and comfortable to travel long distances, but a city dwellers finds it very hard and uncomfortable to do so. That is why people are always hopping from one automobile into another even for very short distances. In the cities, most of the ground is paved over with tiles, or with a mixture of cement and concrete, which are materials which insulate the human body from the Earth's currents.
The church premises provide a good opportunity and environment for people to take off their shoes and stockings and walk around on the cool earth. Frequent practise of such would result in less illness, less frustration and less tension.
Spiritual Reasons Why Jesus Introduced Washing Of The Feet
The spiritual benefits are:
- The human body has seven spiritual centers, which correspond to he Endocrine System in Biology. Spiritually, He cleansed (refined) the spiritual centers in the body of the Apostles. That is why He told Peter that Peter has no part in Him (in the kingdom) if Peter’s feet were not washed (i.e. if the spiritual centers are not opened up and filled with the Holy Spirit).
- The foot is the foundation of the body. The strength of a house is in the foundation. Every part of the body is connected to the feet. Whatever you do to the feet, you to all parts of the body. That is why a person becomes affected if the sands of his footprint are used to make charm against him. God forbid!
- You must have observed that before the evil spirits can possess and manipulate somebody, they first put a contact object in the person’s body. The contact object may be a ring, a symbol, a charm or an animal inside the body. In places like the markets, homes or public places, the evil spirits put such contact object inside the ground. Likewise, when the Angels descend in your church premises, homes or public places, first they destroy whatever is evil inside the ground. Then, second, their spirit and power are discharged into the ground. That is why the ground becomes a holy ground, which can heal, prosper or protect people.
- This explanation is the reason why people are required to remove their shoes while on a holy ground. You remove your shoes on a holy place in order to connect directly to the holiness and potencies of God in the ground. By so doing, the holiness of God purifies and recharges your body – all the organs in the body. The direct touching of a ground purifies your body and empowers your spirit. You may have noticed that some sick people become healed and normal the moment they step on a holy ground or enter a holy place. Evils do not, and cannot, operate in holy places.
4 So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!"
And he said, "Here I am."
5 Then He said, "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground."
Exodus 3:4-6
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "Are You for us or for our adversaries?"
14 So He said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come."
And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?"
15 Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so.
Joshua 5:13-15
- You notice that when a person matches on a poison (charm), the effect normally rises upwards, from the feet, up the legs and to the head. Once the charm gets to the heart or head, the person may die or become mad.
- When necessary, the feet may be placed in a liquid medicine or holy water for healing, cleansing or deliverance.
All the above explanations about the washing of feet are summed up in the following statement, which Jesus then answered and said to Peter, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this." John 13:7
- The washing prevents build up of germs, black energies like charms an unholy substances. You should know that if contacted charm that is on the ground, the charm is re-activated and re-enforced each time you step on the ground. But, once you wash the feet with holy substance, you disconnect the feet from the source of the problem.
- Many have died simply because they marched on charms that were planted for other people. If their feet were being washed with holy water, blood of Jesus, consuming fire, olive oil or salty water, they would not have died.
- Today, many people continue to carry charms in their bodies and suffer the consequences because they have not nullified the charms with holy substances.
- Frequent washing of the feet with holy substances builds up your spiritual defence, which is the foundation of immunity – immune defence system. The person who has washed his feet thrice is far better than the person who has washed once. Be warned!
- By washing their feet with holy water, you empower the members to destroy charm just by stepping on it, as outlined in the whole of Psalm 91.
9 Because you have made the LORD, your refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
Psalms 91:9-13
- Very significantly, when the feet of a person is washed with the blood of Jesus, the hell do not, and cannot, hold the person captive. Were all the evil spirits to cast the person into the hell fire, the person shall simply bounce, like a ball, out of the hell.
- Usually, enemies put charms inside the ground against a person. As long as the person steps on the ground, he recharges the charm against himself without knowing it.
- From time tot time, flood mixes the waste products from different places and persons and spread them all over the ground. The wastes include saliva, phlegm, urine and faeces. In other words, while you would not like to step on the waste product of one person, you are often step into the waste product of so many people.
- The earth serves as a store of evil forces, called black energies, which are stored up by evil spirits, demons, mermaids, ghosts and witches. These things affect people who step on them.
- The evil spirits also uses remote control to possess and manipulate people. They are able to do so because of the black energies stored up inside the ground. When you wash your feet with holy water, you disconnect from the evil forces and disable them.

Procedure
Ensure that:
- The feet should be raised up, off and above the ground.
- The washing is intended to disable powers of darkness, and to disconnect the person from the evils embodied in the ground.
- Washing and prayer is not successful if the feet is completely disconnected to the ground.
- The exercise should be performed willingly and joyfully.
- A person must be washed before he can wash others.
- Where there are many ppeople to be washed, several individuals should wash others. Such persons wahing others should be indivduals in good spiritual state.
Very Important
Jesus said ‘wash the feet of all the members, including the reverend ministers, present.’ He never said, “Wash the feet of twelve persons only.” Here is what Jesus said in the Bible, “If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.” John 13:14-15
The washing of the body,
especially the face, hands and feet,
with holy water should be taking very serious.
God Himself, as Jesus, introduced it.
All the above explanations about the washing of feet are summed up in the following statement,
which Jesus then answered and said to Peter, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you
will know after this." John 13:7
And I add, the statements of Jesus are spiritual statement, which cannot be understood by ordinary human logic and wisdom. Every reverend minister, and indeed everybody, must humble himself to study Spiritual Science. Otherwise, the person, whether born-again or not, is only busy deceiving himself and misleading others. All must start from the scratch. “Go and get your slate where you threw it away.”
Besides, reverend ministers of God, irrespective of religion, church, tribe or language, who have not washed the feet of the churchers members have not yet done enough. They have not passed the first round of of the test of faith. What I say to one reliigion, I say to all. Watch!
Other Relevant Washings
Jesus said, "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet." John 13:14 And I add, "Today, I bear witness that what Jesus said and did were right. Also, it is necessary to wash both the face and the palms."The foolowing details explain the need:
- The Head
The hairs of some people are scattered like that of a mad person. That is the beginning of madness, which will become manifest if left unchecked. Some have sores or patches all over their heads like that of a child suffering from small pox. At times, you encounter one who has no head at all.
- The Face
Your face should be washed with holy substances, from time to time. In spirit, several individuals have their faces covered with faeces, black powder, black cloth, smoke, or messy substances. Some have their faces disorganized, disfigured or spotted. Many girls who find it difficult to get married suffer from these spiritual problems. Some individuals have their faces/heads turned backwards. Therefore, they experience fear depression, frustration or inferiority complex. They find it difficult to look into the eyes of others. They may be shy or down cast.
- The Mouth
The spiritual problem of a person may be a mouth full of plague and stench. This is the situation of those who are talkative, especially those who speak vulgar words.
- The Chest
A person who is possessed by a demon may have a dog, rat, cockroach, or lizard inside his chest. Such a person may be prone to fornication (dog), stealing (rat), witchcraft (cockroach), enmity (lizard),
troublesomeness (scorpion), pride (peacock), etc.
- The Hands/Palms
Most of the girls have rings on their fingers, bangles on their wrist, ear rings on their ear lobes, etc. Some of the people you see moving along the road and swinging the arms, have their hands tired up in spirit. The tired hands may be in front, behind, beside or to their body. Some have their hands pinned to the ground or paralyzed.
All above mentioned people experience frustration and failure in life.
- The Genitals
Many of the women having difficulty in getting pregnant have their private parts blocked with all kinds of substances. As long as the evil materials are in their bodies, the problems persist.
- The Stomach
Do not be surprised to find any kind of animals inside people’s stomach. The animals cause sickness, spiritual downfall, frustration, crisis or battles. Some have marine or cultic belts round their waist.
- The Legs\Feet
In spirits, some have their legs and feet tied up, chained, dirty, swollen, twisted backwards or paralyzed. In one case, I saw a person physically walking. But in spirit, he had no ankles and no feet. His legs were like a pair of rods or pestles. Some others have dirty and worn out shoes on their feet, while some have the legs and feet of mermaid.
All these evils and manipulations were clearly explained and pointed out by Jesus in the parable of the prodigal son. That is what it means to eat with the swines.The ‘swines’ are the devils, evil spirits, demons, mermaids, ghosts, witches and black energies. The food is all kinds of substances, and eating with the swine means possession and manipulation by the evil spirits.
That is why Jesus said, “You must be born again” And now is the time for deliverance and restoration, before the gate of heaven closes and the evil ones cast out into the outer darkness, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Ministries of God can remove all these evils by washing, by laying of hands, by using a minister’s hand (palm) in beating people on their bodies, as the case may be.
Any minister of God who has not washed the feet of his members is still a minister in training. And if a minister’s feet have not been washed with the water of life, blood of Jesus or the Holy Spirit, such a minister still has so many obstacles in his way, and his work is incomplete.
