Ezekiel 36 : 26 till 28
(Message shared in Advent Christian Church, West Mambalam on 3rd June 2018)
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.
Yet another promise from God!!!.
Why have our hearts turned out be as hard as a stone. Every single dirt in the heart gets rolled and sediment after sediment gets hardened as a stone which does not yield itself to the grace of God but stands firm with Pride.
A hardened heart does not love but pretends to be loving and caring.
A hardened heart does not care about worshiping the idols. It can even attend Church services and worship idols at the same time.
A hardened heart cannot listen to God's voice but leans on its own thoughts and ways.
A hardened heart does not feel the absence of Holy Spirit as its filled with the worldly thoughts, ideas, innovations, technology, gadgets, money, fame, gaming, friends, parties and what not.
God has promised to renew our spirits and take away this heart of stone from us.
When the Spirit of God is with, He is sure to guide us in all understanding.
Lets not hide idol that hinders us from inheriting God's promises and cast them away from us today.
Lets pray God to renew our hearts, cast away all the idols of this world from us and help us to walk in statutes.
God Bless!!!
