The Promise of the Father

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Jesus told them to wait for the promise of the Father (Acts 1:4). Acts 1:8 · KJV
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38 · KJV
The Purging Life Ministries emblem: a white dove with wings spread wide, descending over a golden chalice with blue flames rising from it, inside a golden circle of light, with the words John 15:2 and Purging Life Ministries — the dove and the fire The Dove & the Fire
“…he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:” Luke 3:16 · KJV

John said Jesus would baptize us with the Holy Ghost and with fire — and when Jesus Himself was baptized, the Holy Spirit came down upon Him in a bodily shape like a dove (Luke 3:22). That same Spirit — the dove and the fire — is the gift promised to you.

Without the Holy Spirit, nothing works. He is the promise of the Father — the power from on high, the Teacher, the Comforter, and the river of life flowing in us and through us. Everything in this ministry moves by Him.

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18 · KJV

Welcome

Welcome to White Snow Ministries — a place of purity, holiness, and the Word of God.

This ministry is about one simple truth: no matter where you have been or what you have done, God can wash you clean and make you whiter than snow. He created you — you are His beautiful creation — and He wants a real, living relationship with you: the Father with His children, abiding together in the Vine.

Here you will find teaching and sharing from the Word of God, Scripture readings, and prayer — to help you see yourself the way God sees you: loved, adored, and made new.

“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Psalm 51:7
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10
“That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,” Ephesians 5:26

This is why we read the Word and hear the Word: every time we open the Bible, the Word of God washes over us and makes us clean. The blood of Jesus washes us whiter than snow — and His Word keeps washing us, day by day, as we abide in it.

Here to Set the Captives Free

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18–19 · KJV

That is why we are here. Freedom from bondage. Freedom from sickness and disease. Freedom from oppression, from depression, and from suicidal thoughts — freedom from everything that stands against the love of God, the peace of God, and the joy of God. The living water — the river of life — flows in us and through us, changing our minds and our thinking until we think like Jesus: Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).

“…to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10 · KJV

He roots out everything that does not belong — and then He builds, and He plants: trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD (Isaiah 61:3).

About White Snow Ministries

Born from a simple call: teach and share the Word of God, and help people see themselves as the beautiful creation God made them to be.

So much of this world tells us we are too far gone, too dirty, too broken. The Word says otherwise. The Word says there is a washing. The Word says scarlet can become white as snow.

This ministry stands on:

  • Purity and holiness Not by our own strength, but by the washing of the Word and the blood of Jesus.
  • Relationship The Father and the Son, and the Father and us. Christianity is not a religion of rules at a distance; it is a family — a Father with His children.
  • Abiding in the Vine Staying connected to Jesus, the true Vine, so His life flows in and through us (John 15).
  • You are God's creation Designed by Him, loved by Him — and you are enough, because He says so.

Our mission is the one Jesus announced when He stood and read the scroll: to set the captives free — freedom from sickness and disease, oppression, depression, and every chain — with minds renewed to think like Jesus Christ.

Four Constants of Life

Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the Lord has revealed four constants that touch every life — whether we know Jesus yet or not: change, relationships, experience, and love. Change is always constant and nothing ever remains the same, and through it all we live in relationship — with God the Father, with ourselves, and with the people we share life with — experiencing God, one another, change, and love, while love — the love of God — is the buttress that holds it all together; and when we receive this truth, change becomes easier to accept as we grow.

A Written Teaching

Whiter Than Snow

A teaching from Psalm 51 & Isaiah 1

David prayed it after his greatest failure:

“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Psalm 51:7

Hyssop was the little brush used to apply the blood. David wasn't asking to be tidied up — he was asking to be made clean from the inside, by God Himself. And a few verses later he asks for the deeper work still:

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10

Washed whiter than snow on the outside — created brand new on the inside. And God's answer, spoken through Isaiah, is the promise this ministry is named for:

“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” Isaiah 1:18

Scarlet is a stain that doesn't come out. Snow is the whitest thing on earth. That's the exchange God offers: your stain for His snow. Not because we earned it — because He loves us, and He wants His children back. And He keeps on washing us — by the water of His Word, every time we read it and hear it (Ephesians 5:26).

You have not gone too far. Come back, be washed, and be made whiter than snow.

Jesus with the children and a basket of bread — Healing Is the Children's Bread

The Children's Bread

Everything you need is in Jesus.

“But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” Matthew 15:26–28 · KJV

A mother came to Jesus begging for her child — her daughter was tormented and needed deliverance and healing. Jesus called healing the children's bread: the provision that belongs on the table for God's children.

And look what happened: that woman was a Gentile — an outsider — and her faith reached out and took hold of the promise anyway. Jesus honored her faith and healed her daughter that very hour. The children's bread reached the Gentiles — which is us.

That means the ministry of healing, the ministry of deliverance, the ministry of being made whole — it is available to all of us today. Everything we need is in Jesus Christ, and it is available now:

  • Healing — “by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24)
  • Deliverance — freedom for the tormented and the bound
  • Peace, love, and joy — the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22)
  • The walk in the Spirit — “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25)
  • Everything that pertains to life and godliness — “his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness” (2 Peter 1:3)

You don't have to beg for crumbs. Because of Jesus, you are a child at the table — and the bread is yours.

Abide in the Vine

John 15 is the picture of our relationship with God — the Father, the Son, and us.

Clusters of ripe grapes hanging from a vine branch in warm sunlight
“I am the vine, ye are the branches.” — John 15:5
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:1–5 · KJV

The Father is the husbandman

The gardener. He tends, He cares, and yes, He purges. When the Father prunes a branch, it isn't punishment — it's love. He removes what is dead or holding us back so that we bear more fruit.

Jesus is the Vine

The source of all life. Everything the branch needs flows out of the Vine.

We are the branches

Our part is not to strain and strive, but to abide: stay connected, stay close, stay in Him.

The Holy Spirit is at work in the branches

The Father is the husbandman and the Son is the Vine — and the Holy Spirit is the One working in the branches today. It is the ministry of the Holy Spirit at work in us now: He does the washing, He does the cleansing, He does the purging in us.

This is the relationship the Father had with the Son — “Abide in me, and I in you” — and it is the same relationship He offers us. Stay in the Vine, let His Word abide in you, and the fruit comes: love, joy, peace — a life made clean, white as snow, and full of His life.

The purging is very important to this ministry. When the Father prunes the branch — “every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit” (John 15:2) — the Holy Spirit carries that purging out within us. He clips off everything that does not belong, everything that is not of God, so that we may bear more fruit.

It is like a refiner's fire. When silver and gold are put into the fire, the dross — all that is impure — rises to the surface to be taken away, and what is left is pure. So it is with us: the Holy Spirit brings up what does not belong and removes it. Another way of putting it is the purging — the washing of water by the Word (Ephesians 5:26). As we abide in the Vine and His Word abides in us, He washes us, He cleanses us, and He purges us, day by day, until we are clean through the Word He has spoken unto us.
