“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”

John 14:26 (CSB)

 

“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

HOW TO PREPARE MY HEART

 

  1.    Ask God to open my eyes.

“Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.”   Psalm 119: 18 (CSB)

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1: 5 (CSB)

 

       2.    Seek God with a humble heart.

“He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way.”   Psalm 25:9 (CSB)

       3.    Turn from all known sin.

“But the one who hates his brother or sister is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he’s going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.” I John 2:11 (CSB)

      4.     Commit to do what God says.

“The one who has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”    John 14:21 (CSB)
