The Pure In Heart See God

 


Oh my heart is indicting a wonderful matter! The love of God, the life of God! Jesus taking my sinful life into himself for me for one thing, and one thing only-that He might give me his life, which is by the “operation of God”, that resurrected life clothed in His glory and His righteousness.  Oh the sweetness, the charity, the brightness, the joy and goodness of that divine life.

“Oh Holy flame of love, alighted on the lowly pure in heart! God has infinite treasure to bestow, and we settle for less…we hinder God, and stop the current of His graces, But He finds a soul with lively faith, He pours into it graces and favors plentifully; there they flow like a  torrent which…spreads itself with impetuosity and abundance.” –unknown author

Jesus showed us the way and told us to guard out hearts by resisting all pride, not judging others, being quick to forgive, refraining from all accusation, and by doing these things we keep our hearts in the love of God where we may experience His peace and rest for our souls.

Oh to be pure in heart, to look out upon others and see nothing unkind or unlovely in their motives is a heart that can see God. To be pure in heart and desire one thing, and one thing only- to love God, to know God, and to please Him. The pure in heart shall see God. God spoke to Moses face to face, and of John the Baptist it was said that he was great in the eyes of God. Moses was the meekest man on earth, and John the Baptist was wholly untainted from the love of the world.

The love of God purifies the heart completely, for when we see Him as He is, all else is vanity; the praise of man, wealth, power-none of it can compare. The pure in heart do not struggle with such things for they hold no allure for them.

The heart that see’s God has one desire only, to continue to be permitted to gaze upon His beauty. Truth sets us free from all idols and lesser loves until all is swallowed up in Him.

The pure in heart desire to be great in the eyes of God alone, and desire glory for God alone. The pure in heart will be quick to look inside and repent of sin and will never perceive sin in the heart of others. The pure in heart see the vanity of the praise of men and know that it is utterly worthless.

Father, if we may have but one glance of your beauty and loveliness we shall be ruined for all that man values, seeks, and loves. All that we desire is wrapped up in your beauty God. All that we long for is met in one glance of your eye My King. To you and you alone we look Father. We open our mouths wide unto you and turn from every other deceitful love and desire for you give us honey from the rock and quiet us with you love.

 Burn Oh flame of fire! Burn out the dross and purify us into molten gold and forge us into golden vessels that may contain the new wine of you power and love!

“Burn In me, burn in me, let the fire of the Holy Ghost burn in me!”

“Seek Me and you shall find Me, if you seek for Me with all of your heart.”

Growing in Revelation

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26 It is so important that we approach scripture as children, expecting the Holy Spirit to open our minds to Truth. As “churched” believers, (I so dislike that term, it sounds like something that is pickled), we are in danger of approaching the word as if we fully understand it. This attitude shuts off revelation, dulling our spiritual vision and curbing our knowledge of God. We are called to be spiritually quickened, not to pickle in the stagnant pools of familiar church doctrine. This is not to say that church doctrine is a not good and helpful. No, the problem comes when doctrine becomes a wall that shuts us out from Spirit led revelation. But when viewed as a door, doctrine can serve as an invitation, beckoning the hungry heart to come in and explore. It is interesting to note...

Searching for Simeons; be still and know

Be Still, and Know.  This word came to me after I quieted my heart this morning and felt that it was the Lord speaking a word of caution and encouragement.  "Practice solitude often. Solitude increases your spiritual perception. The spirit knows and perceives while the natural mind ponders, divides, considers, reasons. Guard your mind from distraction. Knowing in the realm of the spirit is much like a man who looks into a calm pond and sees his reflection in the stillness of the water. He can see his image until a pebble is cast into the water and he loses the image just as it is taking shape. In the same way, silence is the calm water that allows you to hear my voice, for I speak to you in the silence. Emails, T.V., talk shows, intrusive cell phones are the little pebbles that disturb the water just as knowledge is forming in the depths of the spirit man. You may guard yourself against the "giants in the land" but miss me in the distractions of life. It is death by 1,00...

How Faith Grows: Labor to Rest (and Tear Down Those Beliefs that Steal the Word!)

Your word is my shield and buckler. No matter what enemy David was facing, he consistently fled into the refuge of God's word. He meditated on it day and night until He saw God move.    “As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.” (John 6:57) How do we eat Jesus? “Hearken diligently unto Me, and eat that which is good , and let your soul delight itself in fatness.” Isaiah 55:2 We hear him, and we keep hearing him until faith is born. When faith is born, we enter into the substance of the unseen. When faith has been born, some work or experience will follow. Until then, it is dead. Like a tiny seed, the promise yields its peaceable fruit in due season; new fruit of the Spirit, or freedom from some opression. But first, we have to chew, and chew, and chew. This is actually the biblical metaphor for how we are to labor to enter into the rest of God. “Let us therefore fear, lest, a PROMISE being left us ...
