GOD LOOKS FOR PURE HEARTS, NO. 6.

WashAwayHebrews 9:14: "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"

The only way for us to have pure hearts in order to see God is to appropriate, or stake our claim, in the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus Christ. We must be men who daily take advantage of this purifying power.

The conscience is closely associated with our hearts. Hebrews 10:22 says: "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience." Hebrews 12:24 also talks about "the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things than that of Abel."

God desires pure-hearted men in order to accomplish His purposes on the earth. You cannot watch pornography or anything else that promotes lust without having your conscience defiled. The devil is flooding this world through the media and electronic devices with all types of depraved violence and lust. He does this to pollute the human heart so it cannot see God, let alone know God.

As men and fathers we must avail ourselves of the continual cleansing power of Christ's blood. We must not allow any defiling influence to defile or weaken our heart's desires toward the call of God upon our lives.

Revelation 12:11: "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."

Be encouraged.
