Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV) 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.
Stone is very HARD. It doesn’t give. It doesn’t flex. You can’t squeeze it, you can’t bend it, you can’t stretch it. It is what it is.
The only way to change the shape and size of a stone is to crush it or break it.
You see, our hearts without Christ are hard as stone. We can tell by the way we act and think. Our attitudes show us our heart condition.
We may say, “well, I’m kind and giving. Oh and I do love people. Sometimes I go out of my way for others. I even give to charitable organizations. I would say that makes me a good person with a good heart”.
Even though we may do these types of things all day long, it still does not change our heart condition in God’s eyes. The only One who can bring a complete change to our hard heart is Jesus Christ. His Spirit living in us will change us forever.
Galatians 5:16 (NKJV) 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
With God’s spirit dwelling in us, our hearts become soft, pliable and teachable. And over time, the desires of our heart will become One with Him.
God is calling for a people that will surrender their hearts completely to Him, so that He may show them a deeper love and a closer walk.
John 4:23 (NKJV) 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
