In order for us believers in Christ to maintain the newness of our heart and our spirit, we need to be renewed day by day with the fresh supply of resurrection life to become as new as the New Jerusalem; even in the midst of suffering, we need to receive the renewing. Amen, Lord Jesus, […]
Turn our Heart toward God for Him to Increase in us & Aspire to have an Enlarged Heart
Our spiritual progress as believers in Christ depends on the degree to which our heart is turned toward God so that we may be pure in heart, single in seeking Him, allowing Him to remove anything that is not of Him and infuse us with Him; we all need to aspire to have an enlarged […]
