The Pure Heart

We as Christians must live with a pure heart (see Matthew 5:8). The purer we get the more we can be used by God. To give an example, we must be like gasoline for God. Crude oil is purified to become kerosene, and kerosene is refined to become gasoline which burns stronger and more effectively. We must be set apart from the things of this world (see 1 John 2:15), and do everything with kingdom purpose ( see Colossians 3:17). To do this we must live a life with the holy spirit. To live a life with the holy spirit we must have a relationship with Him. Talking to Him as you talk to a person one on one. He will guide and direct your path. When we do things of the world, we grieve the holy spirit. He is like a dove, he is there, but like a dove he easily can not be around when you want him if you are not living right. To give a clearer example He is like a man knocking at your bed room door, and when he knocks at the door, you are laying in bed and don't want to get up because that requires movement. So eventually he stops knocking. And then when you need Him, you can't find him, so you have to seek Him out. We must live a holy lifestyle (1 Peter 1:13-17). Usually we get stressed and sin, but we must cast our cares to God for he cares for us (see  1 Peter 5:7) We must repent from our wicked ways. You can't have one foot in the grave and the rest of your self trying to live for God (see James 1:8). We are righteous on the inside, but on the outside we have to work out our salvation. The holy spirit that lives on the inside will help us do that as we persistently seek Him. Then it will get to the point where you will not speak the things you used to speak, do the things you used to to, and act the way you used to act, because you will not want to. Walking in the spirit will become natural, and walking in the flesh will become not normal for you. This is when people will think you are an alien (see John 18:36). Ask the Holy Spirit for strength, ask him for the gift of faith, and if you are not yet immersed Him by the fill you with the power of the holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tounges and he will. Many Christians are able to overcome temptation by praying in tounges when tempted because it edifies them ( see I Corinthians 14:4). It gives the a hunger and desire for holiness and manifests the love of God (see Romans 5:5 and Jude 1:20-23). If we do not live a holy lifestyle we will not go to heaven (see Hebrews 12:14). We must repent (to turn away from) and be persistent towards the things of God and live a lifestyle of fasting and praying putting our trust in God, and not in things that have no eternal value. God loves us and we must pledge our allegiance to Jesus ( see John 14:15). Life is so better with God and for God, then for what God wants but not for God (see John 15:10) better than any drug or alcohol you could ever taste for these things manipulate the holy spirit power and have consequences of death (see Hosea 4:6).
