A New Heart Part 2
In the previous post, I shared that we have a New (Covenant) heart, as born-again believers. This heart does not require healing in the way that many people understand.
In order to function from this New heart & New spirit (Ez 36:26), it simply takes faith, which includes mind renewal (Rom 12:2). Knowing who we really are and living from that place (by faith) is a result of mind renewal.
That according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡... - Eph 3:16-17
We are meant to walk by faith, not by sight. The love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. We have already received the power (dunamis) to love. And this love can flow out of us by faith. Faith is simply a decision to act according to the Word. You are not waiting for some feelings of love. You act on the truth despite of your feelings.
The modern Christianity today teaches more on sensuality (sight) than truth (Jn 8:32). Ministry may seem to free you from the past wounds, but only truth can set you free and keep you free. Jesus taught us to live by the Word (Matt 4:4).
Our walk is not to be moved by our past, nor our feelings, but to be moved by Christ ----- the Word made flesh.
whoever keeps His word, in Him truly 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝. - 1 Jn 2:5
The love of God is not perfected by you having feelings of compassion and love in order to express love. It is perfected by you acting upon the Word. To the degree you do His Word, to that degree the love of God is perfected in you.
In the next part, we will see how we can act ourselves into believing faster than believing ourselves into acting, when it comes to the love of God for others.
