Create in Me a Clean Heart

A Cleansed Heart
Psalms 51:10 is a prayer I often pray.
 Create in me a clean heart Oh GOD,  And renew a right Spirit within me, Cast me not away from thy presence, And take not the Holy Spirit from me.   The rest is beautifull as well.

 We want to be a clean vessle for the Lords use but we know we can't do it without the help and Grace of God.  He knows all my hiden secret and untouchable areas. ( Everyone has them).  So don't be suprised when somthing happens to allow a deeper cleaning in areas that you didn't realize were hidden there when reciting specefic prayers for example like this one which asks for a clean heart and a closer Holy Spirit walk.

 I again was recently made aware of this area in my life by the Holy Spirit.  The enemy the (devil) doesn't mind making you feel like it s O.K . if you (do) or (say) somthing  thats small compared to many other terrible sins. But in Gods eyes it's still sin!!  Especially if you are one chosen to minister  and be used of God to teach others.  It will NOT! be allowed to remain!   Many things have to GO!! even small as they seem.

Many years ago, I very innocently repeated a circumstance I thought everyone where I worked  was aware of.  What I didn't know was that NOT everyone knew about it!  And I was the one who spilled the beans.  This caused a terrible repercushon which effected and hurt  many lives.  This sent me to my knees crying and sobbing for the Lords Heart of forgivness.  Then I had to go to the person  and face up to the horrors of what I had innocently exposed.  It was not easily forgotten!

 You see there is a heavy price to pay for sin even when it may seem so innocent and trivial. In my heart I know today that God had to Chasten me quickly and swiftly because He was to use me in ministry and had to cut to the quick aeas of my life that needed to be removed.  (look up prunning of the Lord )!   Ouch!!

The word of God tells us we will be chastened so as to be trained up properly by Him!

Hebrews 12:3 Is reminding us , For consider Him (Jesus) who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself lest you become discouraged in your souls.
* In other words if you endure the chastening, God deals with us as with Sons.  He goes on to say For what Son is there whom a father does not chasten?  So there we have it !!  We must be TRAINED!! To become His very own!!      Praise God!!    

Hebrews 12:5 " My son do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;  For whom the Lord loves He chastens!!, and scourges every son whom He recieves"

Hebrews 12:11 "Now no chastening seems to be joyfull for the present, but grevious: nevertheless, afterward it yeilds the peaceable fruit of Righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
We are then counted as Righteous!!  Loved And recieved  as SONS of God!!

We Thank you Heavenly father and ask you to Faithfully keep your Hand upon us. Help us as we learn to continually grow into the image of Jesus Christ! your Son  Amen!
