A New Spirit

Text: _I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you… I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them._ Ezekiel 36:26-27 NKJV

God gives us the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of power. More literally, the Holy Spirit is the wind beneath our wings. The Holy Spirit is described as the breath of God. In the Old Testament that word for Spirit is “ruach,” which means wind or breath. Some of us have a hard time catching our breath, especially those with breathing issues. And it’s really hard to do something when we cannot breathe. In the same way it’s hard to fly a kite without wind. And so God gives us the Holy Spirit, a new breath of life to assist us in our time of need. Literally, God is giving us breathing assistance and keeping us spiritually alive through the Holy Spirit, and keep us going through those critical times until our transformation is complete.

The Apostle Paul said, “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6 NKJV). Like the new heart, the new spirit begins when we come to faith in Jesus Christ. This is seen when the disciples first encountered the risen Jesus, and it says that Jesus breathed on them, that is, He breathed into them the very breath of God, the Holy Spirit and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:22). Just as God breathed into Adam and made him into a living soul, so Jesus breathes into us and makes us into new creations in Him, spiritual beings ready for heaven once this life is over. The Holy Spirit is constantly moving. The Holy Spirit is an unstoppable fact of life. To ask the Holy Spirit not to move is like asking fire not to burn, or water not to be wet. We are the ones to yield to Him. We need to constantly ask the Holy Spirit to move in our lives. We need to open the windows and doors of our heart and spirit and let the Breath of God, the Holy Spirit, come in and renew us once again.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I ask that You move in my life like never before. Cause me to do Your will, in Jesus’ Name.

*_so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it._*
Isaiah 55:11

*Prayer :*

Thank You that Your Word will not return void but will accomplish all that You have determined.

I believe every promise You made and everything written in Scripture is true and will be fulfilled.

Stir up in me and give me spiritual thirst for Your Word.

Bless Your word, may it be planted in my heart and grow to be fruitful.
In Jesus' Name, I pray.

'I Won't Play Your Game' — Matthew 4:5-7

[Continuing the temptations,] the devil took [Jesus] to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, "If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say,
'He will order his angels to protect you.
And they will hold you up with their hands
so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone.'"
Jesus responded, "The Scriptures also say, 'You must not test the Lord your God.'"— Matthew 4:5-7 NLT

Key Thought

Is Jesus really sure God is with him? Is he truly Immanuel, "God with us"? One sure place to know and to show this is the Temple. Throughout the Old Testament, the Tabernacle and later the Temple represented God's presence and protection for his people. Once again, Satan tempts Jesus like he tempted the Israelite — to make God's protection and care the condition on which loyalty is to be established. Jesus does not play Satan's game! Jesus is committed to honor his Father and to be faithful to him even though it means the path of suffering and death. The reason these early temptations of Jesus are so important is that they reveal that Jesus will not choose ANY shortcut to obedience! Whether Satan realizes it or not, when Jesus walks out of the desert victorious over him and his temptations, Jesus is demonstrating that Satan's doom is assured. Jesus chooses God's plan even though it means suffering, death, and personal ridicule on a cross. What is the cost of my following God? Will I choose faithfulness over ... ?

Today's Prayer

Almighty Deliverer and Faithful God, in light of your centuries of faithfulness to your people, your preservation of them in the face of great calamity and struggle, I recognize my inconsistency and weakness. Give me a heart to recognize the long-term consequences of my decisions about Satan's challenges, both large and small. Please empower me to choose faithfulness. I believe you are my rock and my salvation, so I rest my hope in you. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

*_We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him._*
1 John 4:16

*Prayer :*

Your love for the human race is unimaginable, can not be comprehended.

You have commanded us to love everyone, including our enemies and even desire good things for those with bad intentions towards us.

May I fret and fear less but love and serve You more. Teach me to cast off fear to be made perfect in love.

Help me open the doors and show love towards others as I welcome You to my inmost heart so that You can reside in there.
In Jesus' Name, I pray.

A New Heart

Text: _I will give you a new heart … I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh…_ Ezekiel 36:26 NKJV

Here, the Lord is talking about a heart transplant, though not a physical transplant, but a spiritual one. The heart is more than a bodily organ that pumps life-giving blood to the rest of the body. The heart is symbolic of all that it means to be human. There are about 3,500 heart transplants done every year around the world, and we may well be one of the first generation to understand how a new heart can replace an old one. Therefore, we can understand how a new heart can radically change and alter us forever. And having such a new heart will give us a strange and wondrous feeling that Someone greater than ourselves is living inside us, and how grateful we are to the One who has given it to us so that we may live. We can be grateful, because beating inside of us is God’s own heart. Often times when we think of the heart, we think of it in terms of love, romance, and compassion. And while the heart may be that, in the Bible the heart is the seat of wisdom; it is where all of our decisions are made. Solomon said that as a person thinks in their heart, that is who they really are (Proverbs 23:7a).

On the conflicting end, it is from our hearts that most of our problems develop. The prophet Jeremiah makes this observation; “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV). And so the condition of our hearts is extremely important. Jesus said, “The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45 NIV). And while this is the main reason why we need a new heart, that is, our hearts are evil because of the sin nature inside of us, we also need a new heart, a heart of flesh, because our hearts have become hardened by the trials and cruelty of life. Ask God for a new heart that will follow His will for your life. It is safer to do so.

Prayer:
Father, grant unto me a heart that will follow Your will for me in Jesus’ Name.

*_Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, 'I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.'_*
Hebrews 13:5

*Prayer :*

Let me not crave worldly possessions but instead Your will and Your way.

Help me not be involved with anything that doesn't glorify You. Teach me to be content in all circumstances whatever life throws at me. Let me be thankful for the provision and the blessings You have given me.

Thank You for Your promises that You will never leave me or forsake me.
In Jesus' Name, I pray.
