Yom Shlishi, Tammuz 11, 6003 – June 26, 2018
Desired Heart
Heart. When we hear that word, it can mean many things. For some they think of the organ in the body that pumps blood. Maybe some think of health. And some think of that part of our character that drives us. Scriptures tell us something about this latter point.
Luke 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
What is in our heart is what comes out of our mouth. So many have so much in their past that troubles them. How do we know? Listen to what is spoken. The interesting thing here that our Messiah was showing us is that we have a tendency to look at others first. Yeshuah (Jesus) was encouraging us to look at ourselves. That is the heart He had. It is interesting what the Messiah said next.
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
We need to do what He said. That also indicates where we are at in relationship to our Father. David talked about this level of heart that is like our Father.
Psalms 51:16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
We can be and are builders. We build possibility by what we say. We build reality by what we do.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come in the hearts and minds of mankind. Let Your will be done here as it is in heaven, with the utmost of perfection. Send us now Your provision, that we might overflow to those around us. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love toward us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore the heart in Your people Father. Restore our spirits that we might rise up and serve You. Deliver us from evil that would creep in. Send in quickly the $423,923,962.53 that we might use it to serve You and promote Your kingdom n the hearts and minds of mankind. We ask all these things in the name of Yah Yeshuah (Lord Jesus). Amen.
