The Heart Transformation & Indwelling

Blessings brothers and sisters,

            Now that you are allowing the Holy Spirit to bear witness, I pray that you will have eyes to see and ears to hear. 

            For in Revelation chapter 3 Jesus (Yeshua) states, 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 
22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches”.”

            Once we wholeheartedly accept Christ’s invitation, we are ultimately giving Him permission to perform heart surgery on us. As the Great Physician and Healer, He knows that we are in desperate need of a change of heart.

In Jeremiah 17, The Word says,

“The heart is deceitful above all things,

And desperately wicked;

Who can know it?

10 I, the LORD, search the heart,

I test the mind,

Even to give every man according to his ways,

According to the fruit of his doings”.

This is why it is vital for us to acknowledge our need for Him. We must be willing to accept his invitation because we cannot save ourselves. As we allow the Lord to search our hearts, we will begin to experience a complete transformation of the heart, renewal of the mind and ultimately the revival of our spirits.

This transformation of our hearts and revivals of spirits has been articulated eloquently in the 36^th chapter of Ezekiel.

In this chapter the prophet proclaims The Word of the Lord, 25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. 28 Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.

Theses scriptures allow us to understand our need for Jesus our Great Physician and Healer. Therefore, by allowing Him to perform heart surgery in our lives, we will learn how to allow His glory and will to be manifested in our lives.

This week’s Prayer: Psalm 51:10-12

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
