My friend, God will grant you a pure heart. He will bless you with a steadfast spirit. Today, you may be yearning for purity in your heart, the kind of purity that allows you to see God. Perhaps you long to feel His presence, to understand His will. To achieve this, you need a pure heart. God is faithful; He will purify your heart. On one hand, the temptations of the world which are the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life, threaten to corrupt the purity in our hearts. On the other hand, worries, fears, pain, and hurt can also tarnish that purity. Yes, temptations will come, but today, God is offering you a pure heart. He calls out, saying, “As I am holy, you be holy.”
Let us cry out to God for this purity. He also promises, “I will renew a steadfast spirit within you.” This is God's promise for you today, as written in Psalm 51:10, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” So often, our spirit wavers. We think, “Should I do this? If I don’t please this person, will they turn against me? If I don’t give in to their demands, will I lose their help? If I don’t compromise, will I fail?” These doubts can lead us astray, pulling us away from trusting God. Yet, God gives us a steadfast spirit, enabling us to trust Him completely and declare, “Jesus loves me. I will stand firm and follow the scriptures. I will wait on the Lord.” Through this steadfast spirit, you will find success. Do not be afraid. Through purity, you will see God. With a steadfast spirit, you will find the strength to navigate this world. The Lord will guide you, and everything you do will prosper.
Here is a powerful testimony. Mrs. Arulmuzhi and her husband, Muthamizh Selvan, faced many struggles. Her husband was addicted to alcohol, robbing their family of peace and causing financial trouble. Battle after battle, she persisted. She would visit the Trichy Jesus Calls Prayer Tower, where the prayer intercessors prayed with her. One day, she heard the testimony of a sister whose husband had been delivered from alcoholism through prayers at the Jesus Calls Prayer Tower. This testimony strengthened her heart, and she claimed that same miracle for her family. However, upon returning home, her husband fell gravely ill with jaundice. He became incoherent, and the doctors gave up hope, saying there was nothing more they could do. Once again, Sis. Arulmuzhi ran to the Prayer Tower, where the prayer intercessors prayed fervently alongside her, crying out, “Lord, give him a second chance!” God intervened. He healed her husband, not only from jaundice but also from his addiction to alcohol. When he recovered, he was a transformed man, free from addiction and filled with God’s peace.
Just as He did for this family, God will give you and your loved ones a pure heart and a steadfast spirit. May He open your eyes, walk with you, and lead you in a unique and beautiful way in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER:
Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You, longing for purity in my heart. Cleanse me, Lord, of all that separates me from Your presence. Renew a steadfast spirit within me so that I will trust in You unwaveringly. Guard my heart against the temptations of the world and strengthen me in holiness. Help me stand firm, even when doubts and fears try to pull me astray. Fill me with Your love, wisdom, and peace to walk in righteousness. Lord, bless my loved ones also with the same purity and steadfast spirit. Lead me in Your perfect will and let my life reflect Your glory. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
