Mat_13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and
their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any
time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should
understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
How many people do
not want to hear the truth of Salvation?
How many people do
not want to see the truth of Salvation?
How many people do
not want their hearts understanding Salvation?
How many people do
not want to be converted and healed?
Seriously. How many
people choose to live spiritually deaf, blind, and heartless?
The choice is
purposefully made, deliberately decided because they lack any faith at
all. They'll call themselves the
enlightened. They'll call themselves intelligent. They'll say they don't need faith, that faith
is for the weak minded.
Being converted from
unrepentant sinner to repented sinner to some is undesirable. Some do not even
want to admit they sin at all. No one
will be forced into conversion. People must CHOOSE to be converted. People must want their hearts to understand,
they must want to ear and see truth and in wanting this they desire healing and
healing is found in conversion.
Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that
your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the
presence of the Lord;
Act 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before
was preached unto you:
Act 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times
of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his
holy prophets since the world began.
Repent- choose to
recognize yourself as a sinner in need of repenting, in need of forgiveness.
Our sins need to be blotted out and by the grace of our LORD they will be
blotted out. Our encouraged sins thickly
coated in the selfishness that binds all sin must be confessed, and repented of
so we can be HEALED. Healed of our
selfishness, just imagine that.
Imagine a life of
selfless serving. It's all but
impossible, and the only hope we have of it not being an impossibility is being
healed by our Savior. WE cannot heal ourselves, but we must choose to let our
Savior heal us. And we will be healed, and like a lot of healing there is pain
before the healing is complete.
Please, Father in
heaven, please we choose to be healed by YOU through the Holy Spirit by the
grace of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, our Savior!
We repent! We
confess! We bow before You knowing that we are helpless to save ourselves, we
can only truth in Your mercy! Please, Father, have mercy upon us, we would be
YOURS now and forever!
Forgive us!
Love us!
By YOUR GRACE! All
honor, glory, and power to YOU, our God, our King!
