A Clean Heart Opens Doors

“7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” ” I Samuel 16:7

What does GOD see when HE looks at your heart?

Let’s not assume that the condition of our hearts are acceptable to GOD. The condition of my heart powerfully impacts the quality of the life that I will lead. The condition of your heart powerfully impacts the quality of the life that you wil lead.

Only the pure in heart shall see GOD. This is true about when we who have accepted JESUS CHRIST as Savior meet GOD face to face in eternity. What about right now in time? I need to “see” GOD now. When I refer to seeing GOD in time, I am referring to several things including comprehending and experiencing GOD to the fullest extent that GOD has made it possible for me to know and experience GOD while I am in time. I want to hear GOD and to be heard by GOD. What about you?

If so:

1) Ask GOD to reveal the condition of your heart. Respond to what GOD reveals.

2) “10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 (KJV)
Ask GOD to create in you a clean heart. (Pray this no matter what you think about the condition of your heart. Humbling yourself before GOD is powerful. There may be things that you do not know. Do what it takes to be in proper position with GOD.)

Each of us is wise to give attention to the condition of our heart. It’s worth it.

Change Is Closer Than You Think

Many are trying to just press past the “stuff” that is happening now just as they have done in days past. This is different. This time you are going to have to change to see the change that you are looking for. You. (You can keep on adjusting all the strategies, procedures and processes but the foundation for future success will require change in you.)

Present Our Bodies As “Living” Sacrifices

“12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-:2 (King James Version of THE HOLY BIBLE)

Prayer to Give Your Life to JESUS CHRIST

Dear GOD, I believe that YOU sent YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST TO DIE ON THE CROSS for me so that by believing in JESUS CHRIST, I could be forgiven of my sins and redeemed because THE INNOCENT AND PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS WAS SHED for me. I believe that it is only through JESUS’ DEATH ON THE CROSS, AND JESUS’ BURIAL AND RESURRECTION that I can come into right standing with YOU.

GOD, I confess that I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I believe that JESUS was sinless. JESUS was the only one who was qualified to die in my place. I believe that JESUS was the sinless SACRIFICE who gave HIS LIFE to pay for my sins. JESUS LIVED A SINLESS LIFE AND DIED INNOCENT.

Thank YOU FOR SENDING YOUR ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO DIE FOR my sins. Thank YOU FOR LOVING me so much, GOD. I give my life to YOU. Please help me to live a life pleasing to YOU GOD in every way.

Father, I repent of my sins. I turn away from leading a sinful lifestyle. I turn to you. I ask you to please forgive me of everything that I have done to sin against YOU. GOD, I ask YOU to help me to live a holy, set apart life that brings YOU Glory. Thank you for saving me, IN THE MIGHTY, MATCHLESS AND MAJESTIC NAME OF JESUS CHRIST I pray.
