“I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit
in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of
flesh” (The Message).
“I will give you a
new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of
stone and give you a heart of flesh” (The Message).
For us as believers
to have unity of heart, (Ezekiel 11:19) where no stoniness and hardness of heart
keeps out His spirit, I must first, as an individual believer, (Ezekiel 36:26)
have a new heart and a new spirit that receives life from Him. For the church to
experience an undivided heart, I, as an individual believer and part of the
church body, must experience a heart change that radically alters my life. This
heart change is what I must bring to the body.
When we allow Him to
give us a new heart, and to put His spirit within us, we alone not only benefit.
The body of Christ will come to also have that new spirit within its own heart.
The church shall be set free to move into His presence as never before. It will
be free of a stony heart that has judged and divided the body. Now it shall
receive His life, because it has been freed from the tyranny of a stony heart.
Our heart, where once it was hard and cold, shall worship Him with every breath
of our life. And His Spirit will flow and bring a wholeness and unity of purpose
that will usher in a newness of spirit never before experienced. We shall be
totally set free to worship Him in Spirit and Truth.
