A Pure heart

The word I get so strongly today is the Lord wants a pure heart.   The two questions are, how do I get a pure heart and why does he want this so badly???

When a soul acknowledges sin, and when his heart truly repents and confesses, the Blood of the Lamb from the cross pours upon that soul and it is purified.  The confessional is where the miracles are abundant!!!  No wonder why Padre Pio practically lived in one.

It is likened to when the Jews were about to Passover to Egypt, but first so that the Lord could prepare and protect  them to be released from their bondage, the shed blood of the Passover lamb needed to be utilized. Hyssop was dipped into the blood, and per God's instructions, that blood was sprinkled or brushed on the doorposts and lintel of each home.

This was a symbol of the coming redeemer.  After Jesus was crucified we have an everlasting covenant that continues to purify us, keeping us safe and untethered to the slavery of sin.

The answer is so easy for one who longs to please God, it is the hearts sorrow for sin committed and that encompasses the desire not to do it again.  That's all, then God in his reliable way opens the door we slammed shut to let us in again.

Why does he want this?  Remember the Beatitudes?  Blessed are the pure of heart for they will see the Face of God.     ~Matthew 5:8.


Seeing  the Face of God has many, many benefits.  
One, obviously- the joy of seeing his face, it an approval of God that you are in right order, that sin has been removed from blocking your sight.  Two, when His Face shines on you, you radiated It, thus there's a protection against evil.  Three, you hear his instructions clearly, your communication with him is has a higher level of clarity.  Four, fearlessness, how can one fear the antics of the enemy if the Face of God is always before them?

Remember Moses who spoke face to face with God?  His countenance was so radiant they had to cover it up?      They saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.  Exodus 34:35
“The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend.  Exodus 33:11

Do you want a close relationship with God as He wants it with you?  I hope so!!!  It is the best thing ever and it is better than any other relationship bar none.  It allows your relationships with others to become exceedingly better!

God bless your day and spread the love!!!
