The Heart of Stone 1

Brothers and sisters, please give God a chance to sprinkle clean water on you, allow Him to remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh, to give you a clean heart, and put His Spirit within you, for it is a heart problem.

Scripture tells us “I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 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. 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 36:25-27) (NKJV).

God delivered the children of Israel from Egypt performed great signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, parted the Red Sea, but these did not work for the children of Israel. Walking around the wilderness for forty years did not do it, fiery serpents in the wilderness did not do it, God stopping the flow of River Jordan did not do it also for mankind. The walls of Jericho crashed at the presence of mankind, but that did not do it for them. God fought Israel’s battles, and destroyed all their enemies, that did not do it for them also.

The book of (Exodus 13:21) tells us, “God led the way at night by fire, and cloud by day,” but the people were stiff necked, it did not work for them.

God even opened the ground to swallow Korah, Dathan, Abiram and their families (Numbers 16:13) that did not do it.

Miriam was afflicted with leprosy, that did not also do it for them. (Numbers 12:8) because it is a heart problem. God had to take on flesh, because it is a heart problem, the root of every matter is a heart problem.

God had to put on flesh, for Scripture declares, Jesus Christ was “made manifest in the flesh” for the sake of love, (1st Timothy 3:16) because of the sins of the world, which was from Adam and Eve. Heart problem, please surrender your hearts to the Lord.

Please pray for God to remove that heart of stone and replace it with a heart of flesh. Love God and do good, do not love the things of the world because the love of God will move us to repentance. In the love of God, you will receive a new heart, filled with love, always remember your salvation, and let go of the past.

Please brothers and sisters, put off anger, lies, gossip, fornication, idolatry, anger, your condescending ways, pride, and put on tender mercies, kindness, meekness, patience, humility, respect for one another, and forgiving one another. (Colossians 3:5,8,12).
