The Lord wants to give you a responsive heart. He is cutting away the dead and bringing to life things in you that he put in you that has been long hidden away by the dead things that no longer are sustaining you. Allow and trust him in this process.
And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. Ezekiel 36:26 NLT
As I was worshipping Jesus the other night, the Lord graciously reminded me of a word that he spoke to me 3 years prior. “God does not just mend the broken hearted but he gives us a new heart.” I heard him speaking to my spirit the words “scars and scabs”, you see everyone has them. Whether it be physical scars or emotional scars. We all have them.
When I reflect on my past, it’s like reopening old wounds by picking at a scab. It feels as though I’m reopening all the pain and hurt from before. The Holy spirit spoke to me, “NO MARY. I don’t leave scabs or scars. I heal, as in made completely new.” He throws the old completely out. He makes us a new creation in Christ Jesus. The only reason we have scars is because on earth we allow ourselves to have them by never surrendering it all to him and no longer thinking on it. A scar differs from a scab in that once healed, it no longer causes pain.
Where as a scab remains in pain. A scab is still in the process of healing and can be easily hurt or reopened with pressure. Once fully healed, a scar serves as a reminder of past events without causing any pain. It leaves a mark. When we go through life and have pain, physical or emotional pain, we go through a healing process. The duration of this healing process can vary significantly, depending on the depth of the wound. The good news is, there’s a way to experience accelerated healing without any scabs or scars. A healing that allows you to move forward without constant reminders of the past. There is a solution. There is an answer, His name is Jesus Christ.
You don’t have to revisit the old pain or the person you used to be. You can leave behind those reminders of your past pain and move forward. You can live in total and complete freedom in Jesus! One moment in God’s presence can make you whole and healed. He will transform you from the inside out. Don’t waste any more time, and let the transformation happen within you through His precious healing touch. Embrace the new heart you’re being given. You’re no longer defined by being broken, wounded, or scared; you’re made new. That is what the bible speaks of when it says to be born again!
[5] Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. [6] Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. [7] So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’ John 3:5-7 NLT
In Christ Jesus you can be BORN AGAIN & SPIRIT FILLED! Receive the Holy Spirit, repent of your sins. Ask Jesus to fill you with his Spirit. Believe in Him that he died and rose again 3 days later to bare our sins. He did this so we can live freely for Him. We get to dedicated our lives to him and serve him as our Lord and Master. In doing this, we are given a new heart, His Spirit, and our sins are forgiven. We are reborn, born Again!
