Cast Away Thy Transgressions

31 Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.” — Ezekiel 18:31-32 | English Standard Version (ESV) The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

Looking for satisfaction

Wanting instant gratification.

Trying to fulfill my desires

I've met way too many liars.

Plenty of times getting burned

You will quickly learn.

It's left me cold and alone

With no one to call my own.

Prevention to not get hurt

It's sure a lot of work.

I've got my boundaries and walls up

To get to my heart, it will be tough.

Sometimes I struggle to just fit in

I break down, every now and then.

Overwhelmed with everything

Sometimes I wish that I had wings.

I would fly away from this place

I'd be gone without a trace.

I wonder if anyone else, feels like this

Continually searching for bliss.

7 Keys to a Clean Heart

Jesus taught that sin originates from within us: “It is what comes from inside that defiles you. For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.” (Mark 7:20-22) A clean heart is essential for a close walk with GOD. The good news is that He has provided a…

A New Heart and a New Spirit

The Christian life emphasizes profound heart transformation through God's grace. Instead of superficial change, God renews our spirits, creating hearts that are compassionate and responsive. This ongoing process requires daily surrender to the Holy Spirit, guiding us to reflect Christ’s character and embrace our new identity. True spiritual growth emerges from this renewal.

The Christian life is one of transformation. God does not merely modify our behavior—He changes our hearts from the inside out. Through His grace, He removes our hardened hearts and replaces them with hearts that are tender, responsive, and aligned with His will. This transformation is at the core of what it means to follow Christ. “And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put…

Great breakdown by John here… If you are a Christian the spirit leads you towards God and away from sin. You will never just be able to sin without that nudge from Him…

A Prophecy to the Mountains of Israel

1 And thou, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear ye the word of the Lord: 2 Thus saith the Lord God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places are become a possession for us: 3 therefore prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have been dishonoured, and hated by those round about you, that ye might be a possession to the remainder of the nations, and ye became a by-word, and a reproach to the nations: 4 therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to the places that have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that were left round about; 5 therefore, thus saith the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Idumea, because they have appropriated my land to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives of the inhabitants, to destroy it by plunder: 6 therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because ye have borne the reproaches of the heathen: 7 therefore I will lift up my hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach. 8 But your grapes and your fruits, O mountains of Israel, shall my people eat; for they are hoping to come. 9 For, behold, I am toward you, and I will have respect to you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: 10 and I will multiply men upon you, even all the house of Israel to the end: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the desolate land shall be built upon. 11 And I will multiply men and cattle upon you; and I will cause you to dwell as at the beginning, and will treat you well, as in your former times: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 12 And I will increase men upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and ye shall be to them for a possession; and ye shall no more be bereaved of them.

13 Thus saith the Lord God: Because they said to thee, Thou land devourest men, and hast been bereaved of thy nation; 14 therefore thou shalt no more devour men, and thou shalt no more bereave thy nation, saith the Lord God. 15 And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and ye shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, saith the Lord God.

A New Heart and a New Spirit

16 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 17 Son of man, the house of Israel dwelt upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols, and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before me like the uncleanness of a removed woman. 18 So I poured out my wrath upon them: 19 and I dispersed them among the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries: I judged them according to their way and according to their sin. 20 And they went in among the nations, among which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of his land. 21 but I spared them for the sake of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations, among whom they went.

22 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, among whom ye went. 23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified among you before their eyes. 24 And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you into your own land: 25 and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in mine ordinances, and to keep my judgments, and do them. 28 And ye shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a God. 29 And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and multiply it, and will not bring famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the field, that ye may not bear the reproach of famine among the nations. 31 And ye shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and ye shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations. 32 Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord God, as it is known to you: be ye ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

33 Thus saith the Lord God; In the day wherein I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built upon: 34 and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of every one that passed by. 35 And they shall say, That desolate land is become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited. 36 And the nations, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined cities and planted the waste lands: I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.

37 Thus saith the Lord God; Yet for this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them even men as sheep; 38 as holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord. — Ezekiel 36 | Brenton's Septuagint Translation (BST) The English translation of The Septuagint by Sir Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton (1851) Cross References: Leviticus 15:19; Leviticus 26:4; Leviticus 26:9; Numbers 13:32; Deuteronomy 9:5; Deuteronomy 11:11; Deuteronomy 32:13; 2 Chronicles 34:21; Job 42:12; Psalm 43:5; Psalm 44:13-14; Psalm 47:10; Psalm 51:2; Psalm 74:18; Psalm 89:50; Psalm 102:15; Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 27:6; Isaiah 44:3; Isaiah 51:3; Jeremiah 15:7; Jeremiah 30:22; Jeremiah 31:19; Jeremiah 42:10; Ezekiel 6:2; Ezekiel 34:13-14; Daniel 2:18; Mark 3:8; John 2:14; John 3:3; John 3:5; Acts 2:36; Romans 2:6; Romans 2:24

I Am Responsible and Accountable (Ezekiel 18:1-32)

Whatever I think, say, or do is on me, period.

The word of the Lord came to me: “What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel: “‘The parents eat sour grapes,    and the children’s teeth are set on edge’? “As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me.
