A Divided Heart

A DIVIDED HEART We are all born with a heart that is corrupt and wicked within We are all born dead to the things of God in our trespasses and sin We all need the new birth to see the kingdom Jesus spoke about We all need to be born again to enter the kingdom and not be left out. When we put our trust in Jesus the Holy Spirit comes to live inside His purpose is to subdue the sin nature that just refuses to be denied Yielding to His purposes brings about a change of heart and mind This transformation of life and character only in Him can you find. The Divine nature implanted in us is to set us free from the curse we are under Only by obeying God’s word can we experience His life transforming power Submitting to God is the only way; grace is given to the humble contrite heart Living under the control of the Spirit is how we show new life has had a start We are always being pulled in two different directions at the same time We are experiencing this division constantly in our hearts and in our minds This inner conflict is always ongoing it is fighting for the control of our life Yielding to the Spirit is what brings about victory and inner peace from strife. In our hearts there is a war the Spirit and the flesh are constantly in a fight We wrestle in our minds between doing what is wrong and what is right We often do what we don’t want to do that is evidence of the allure of sin Only by the power of the Spirit can we overcome and win the battle within. One day our inner war will cease we will see the fullness of our redemption On that day our flesh will be no more for we will have put on incorruption We will bow before Jesus seated on His throne and see Him in all His glory Testimonies of His redeeming grace our lives are a part of His eternal story.
