The Book Of Revelation With Dr. David Jeremiah

Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

Because our heart is deceitful, we cannot know or diagnose it ourselves. 

We are not qualified to introspect and analyze our heart. 

We cannot deal with our own heart by ourselves. 

The Lord knows our heart, and He will give us a new heart (Ezek. 36:26). 

So the best thing to do is just draw near to God. 

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. 

And when He draws near, then He knows what is in us. 

He knows how to talk with us. 

He knows where to point His finger: “That is sin in your life. Confess it. Drop it.” 

He knows how to diagnose your heart. 

While you are fellowshipping with the Lord, you are under the Spirit’s activity. 

He tells you, “Look at your heart. You have another goal. Your goal is your bank account. Your goal is your ambition. Your goal is not single.” 

As we are under this kind of activity, it is the divine life, the divine Lord, giving us a new heart, taking away the stony heart: “I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh. Let Me have the privilege of doing it. Do not handle yourself. Do not try to fix yourself.” 

Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.

In that enjoyment of drawing near–while you are enjoying Him, while you are fellowshipping with Him–He talks with you. 

He points things out for some cleansing, for some rebuking, for some adjustment, to make us more single so that we have a good heart. 

All the rocks are going out, all the weeds are going out, and all that hard ground is being plowed up just by our drawing near to God. 

Until Tomorrow
