Inner Realm Change
1. THE HEART’S DESIRE
- There is one consistent and eternal sign of people who walk with God: they are open to inner change.
- There heart condition is a willingness to be transformed into something greater and more glorious!
- Single-mindedness of heart, seeking God’s heart purposes is their greatest and all-consuming desire.
- Friendship with the Lord!
- God’s heart is seeking our hearts. He is wooing us.
- Only an encounter with the Living God will change us. That’s why He seeks us, for He knows that in our own natural flesh we do not truly desire Him. “He first loved us.”
- The prophets are telling us that great change is about to come, upon the earth and in the hearts of all people. But a greater more eternal change is also on the horizon, the
- Restoration of God’s people into Sons of the Most High God (= El Elyon).
2. YIELDING TO GOD
- The time is ripe for us to yield more and more to God. To lay aside any preconceived ideas and traditions that are likely to make us stray.
- Lay aside the false and embrace the real! God wants to show us how He sees us. This will require humbleness of heart and strength of character.
- Sincerity of heart. The word sincere means “without wax”. It refers to a potter who having made a vessel found it has cracks. To deceive his customers he would put wax in the crack and cover the defect. To be sincere means nothing is flawed, nothing covered up, nothing is deceptive. God is looking for such vessels amongst His people.
- This is why God is putting His people through a time of testing. Vessels that are not sincere, vessels that have hidden defects will not be able to carry the anointing that?’s going to be poured out on the earth.
- The Lord is building His House, but it will not have any flaws in it. All the things we’re going through and yet to go through are for one purpose only: to equip us a holy vessels.
- He has provided for us a full measure of grace to be prepared. Some will run from the fire that’s coming, others will run to it. Which one are you?
3. RESTORATION OF OUR HEARTS
- We need to know our destiny, for without that vision before us we will be left directionless. Prov. 29:18
- God has determined a goal for us, and He wants us to keep this within our hearts and remember it. Deut. 6: 20-23.
- There is a truth and promise for us here. Jesus didn’t save us just so we could wander directionless in the wilderness. God is determined to take you somewhere. In order for this to be fully accomplished our hearts need to be restored.
- He has brought us out of the darkness and translated us into His light! Alleluia!
- It is God’s desire for us to enter into His rest; to experience His presence. He is determined that this should happen. But where are the people who desire this with all their heart?
- He has brought us out and He will take us in. Luke 12:32
- This is a tangible experience, and not something just to be enjoyed once we die and go the heaven.
- God is determined for us to rejoice and enter into His pleasure and purpose. Jesus even said that the stones and rocks cannot contain this truth from being proclaimed. Luke 19:40
- There is a choice to be made in this hour. Do we want to be part of His entering in? Do we have the faith? Heb. 3:19
4. A REGENERATE HEART
- Unregenerate hearts are like the stones God used for the Ten Commandments. But the Father’s desire was for these to be written upon hearts of flesh (Jer. 31:33). Unregenerate hearts obey out of duty and compulsion; hearts of flesh serve Him out of love and desire.
- The Spirit of the Lord needs to enter into our hearts and melt them. We need change in the Inner Realm.
- God has been writing on the stony condition of the Church for a long time but now He wants to etch it on soft hearts, willing to receive it and respond to His wooing.
- Much restoration is happening in the Church, but the greatest restoration needs to be in the inner realm of our heart (=spirit-man). Psa. 40:6
- This is a great revelation and truth. God doesn’t want our services, our missionary outreach, our finance, our numbers, our sweat – He wants our hearts!
- Psa 84:5 “How blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion!”
- Are our hearts fixed on God’s purposes? Are we changed so much within the Inner Realms of the heart that God can build His highways there? God’s desire has never changed. He desires to have many sons, who live from the inside out!
