! PURE HEART
I.
Heb 12:14 “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.”
A. When we cover over our hearts to keep our sins hidden from God, we also cover our spiritual eyes and become unable to see the things of God.
1. Matt 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
If our hearts are pure and our souls upright we shall see the Lord.
2. We will not only see things in the spiritual realm; we shall see God active in our lives and our ministry.
B. Ps.
24:3-5 “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.”
II.
What is holiness?
A. True holiness is separation from sin, but it is also union with the Lord.
It is a coming out from the world, and coming to the Lord.
WE are separated unto the Lord, not just separated from a sinful lifestyle.
B. Get the river out---salvation is more than just going to heaven.
1.
The salvation of the Lord Jesus is in getting the river out –the junk out of us.
2. Getting everything out of us so our spirit is pure and sweet like the Spirit of God.
3. Then your mind—soul – is healed and we have thoughts of God and consciousness of God.
All the dirty filth cleansed.
4. Jesus taught salvation for the spirit, for the soul, and the body.
C. Real Christianity is marked by the pureness, the holiness of thoughts of man, and should produce in our minds real holiness, real purity, real sweetness, and real truth.
1. Submit your unsanctified mind to the Lord Jesus to be remolded by the H.S. so that it becomes the pure channel of a holy nature—being in union with the Lord.
2. Our minds need to be stayed in Christ, kept by the power of God.
3. A person’s life will be of the character of his thoughts.
If he thinks evil, he will be evil.
If he thinks holy he will be holy.
His outward life will be as the inner impulse is.
Mk 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of men comes evil thoughts and actions.
All theses evil things proceed from within and defile the man.
4. We need to be infield with the H.S. so that we relate His beauty and show forth His love—we should manifest His sweetness and show forth His power.
III.
Developing a pure heart
A. The development of self-control is essential for bringing your thoughts and actions into captivity to the obedience of Christ and renewing your mind daily.
B. A cleansing of one’s heart (mind) to the point of not wanting to do anything that would offend the heart of God.
The Spirit of God is seeking to break our heart over what breaks Our Heavenly Father’s heart.
C. This only happens when there is a purging away of our unrepentant sin, and a placing in our hearts of God’s holy precepts.
1. Ps 139:23,24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
2. Having a pure heart begins with a cry for cleansing.
The Holy Spirit is calling for repentance and cleansing from the defilement of sin.
3. Ps 66:18 “If I regard sin in my heart the Lord will not hear me!”
4. Read Ps 51:1,2 & 10-12
D. The promise is very clear; if we want to stay close to the Lord, we must live a pure, holy life.
The only way this is possible is to live a life ordered and directed by the Word of God
1. 1 Jn 1:7-10 walk in the light as He is in the light.
2. Deut 6:5,6 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.”
E.
To keep our hearts pure, we must learn to abide with the Word of God.---It is from reading, meditation, and memorizing the Bible (having it hidden in our hearts) that we will know God’s perfect path of purity.
Ps 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path”----Being immersed in Him in His pesence.
F. The results of a clean heart will be that we will see God, and others will see God in our lives.
G. 1 Thess 5:23,24
1. Sanctification is possessing the mind of Christ and all the mind of Christ.
2. V-23 wholly in Greek is complete or entirely
3. V-23 whole in Greek –spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless
a. wanting nothing for its completeness, bodily mental, and moral entireness
b.
It expresses the perfection of man before the Fall one who having once lost has now regained his completeness
c.
