4. Yesterday’s Heart

4/01/2019 Amanda Wilson

.

An Invitation From Jesus:

Yesterday’s heart

Was full of sin

No place for Me

To come and live in

But on the cross

It died with Me

So you could be

Reborn to find

A clean pure heart

In you

One with Mine

.

Each day My mercies are made new

So in My Life You can be renewed

.

Yesterday’s heart

Was unforgiving

Judging and bitter

For revenge seeking

But on the cross

It died with Me

So you could be

Reborn to find

A forgiving heart

In you

One with Mine

.

Each day My mercies are made new

So in My Life You can be renewed

.

Yesterday’s heart

Was full of grief

Loss and sorrow

Blamed on Me

But on the cross

It died with Me

So you could be

Reborn to find

A joyful heart

In you

One with Mine

.

Each day My mercies are made new

So in My Life You can be renewed

.

Yesterday’s heart

Was full of fear

Stalked by tomorrows

Anxieties and troubles

But on the cross

It died with Me

So you could be

Reborn to find

A peaceful heart

In you

One with Mine

.

Each day My mercies are made new

So in My Life You can be renewed

.

Yesterday’s heart

Was hard and cold

It could not love

Was afraid to be bold

But on the cross

It died with Me

So you could be

Reborn to find

A loving heart

In you

One with Mine

.

Each day My mercies are made new

So in My Life You can be renewed

.

The choice is yours

To make each day

To live in the past

Live the old way

Or let the old heart die

And live in Me

From a new tender heart

Created by Me

Let Me fill you with Love

Joy, Forgiveness and Peace

From My heart to yours

In an eternal flow

.

Each day My mercies are made new

So in My Life You can be renewed

.

My Reply:

Lord I give You my fears

My judgements and sorrows

I give You my hurts

And worries for tomorrow

I give You my griefs

Sorrows and losses

My wayward thoughts

And sinful desires

My lack of love

That binds me in coldness

Let it all die with You

On the cross

For You paid for it all

It is Yours to command

Into the grave

As the morning light dawns

Let Your Life be mine

As I live from the new heart

You have made mine

Let Your holiness

Be my new thinking

Let Your Love and forgiveness

Your Joy and Peace

Fill my new heart

Be my reason for living

Do this in me

For I cannot do it

Hearing From God

One of the things I have found really useful in my journey of seeking to hear/see from God better has been to make a regular time to listen to God without an agenda on my part so there is no pressure to get answers to anything in particular. So I –

Daily spend time (alone is easier) with God and pen and paper. I start by asking, “What do You want to say/show me today?”

Then, the REALLY important thing is to trust that whatever you see, feel, taste or hear or whatever words or pictures come into your mind, is God speaking to you. Usually the answer begins before or just as you have the question finished and before have time to think about it. Write it ALL down as fully as you can for as long as it lasts WITHOUT judging it.

Ask God all the questions you can think of about what you see/hear particularly “what does it mean?” And “what should I do?”

ONLY when you have finished ALL that should you look at what you have written and check that it aligns with Biblical teaching. If it aligns with what the Bible teaches and particularly if it is more encouraging or positive than anything you would say to yourself you can be sure you heard from God. Even if God is correcting you He does not use condemnation! His correction redirects and empowers you to act differently.

When I first began this I found it really hard but I persevered and it really paid off in so many ways.

Abraham and Sarah

Said we’re old and barren

We have no child

 And we will never have one

But God said, “That’s not true

Now You are My Children!”

And they had a son Isaac

Who fathered many nations

.

Identity, it matters

And We are God’s Sons

Made in Jesus’ image

For with Jesus we are One!

.

The Jews enslaved by Egypt

Thought by God they’d been abandoned

Slavery was their norm

They could see no other future

But God said, “That’s not true

For You are My Children!”

He sent Moses to lead them

To His Promised land’s freedom

.

Identity, it matters

And We are God’s Sons

Made in Jesus’ image

For with Jesus we are One!

.

David was a shepherd

The youngest of eight sons

Considered insignificant

By all human standards

But God said, “That’s not true

For he is My Child!”

God made David king

Over all Israel.

.

Identity, it matters

And We are God’s Sons

Made in Jesus’ image

For with Jesus we are One!

.

When Jesus was beginning

His ministry time

He was baptised by John

At the riverside

And God said, “I’m well pleased,

This is my Beloved Son!”

And those words kept Jesus safe

Through His time of temptation

.

Identity, it matters

And We are God’s Sons

Made in Jesus’ image

For with Jesus we are One!

.

The Samaritan woman

Lived from her shame

She would only get water 

At midday far from home

But Jesus called her out as His

Gave her His living water

She became an evangelist

Brought her whole town to her Saviour.

.

Identity, it matters

And We are God’s Sons

Made in Jesus’ image

For with Jesus we are One!

.

A madman in a graveyard

Worshipped Jesus one day

Though exiled by his village

For his madness and rage

But Jesus actions said, “Your mine!”

Sending the man’s demons away

And he became an evangelist

The whole town he saved.

.

Identity, it matters

And We are God’s Sons

Made in Jesus’ image

For with Jesus we are One!

.

Saul was a zealot

Fighting for God’s Law

Killing Christians was his aim

For he thought they were evil

But Jesus said to him

“Why do you persecute Me?”

And Saul became Paul

Taking Christ to the world

.

Identity, it matters

And We are God’s Sons

Made in Jesus’ image

For with Jesus we are One!

.

When Peter and John

Were approached by a lame beggar

They had no money

To give to help his hunger

But they knew they were God’s Sons

For Jesus was their Saviour

So they healed his crippled legs

Released God’s Kingdom favour

.

Identity, it matters

And We are God’s Sons

Made in Jesus’ image

For with Jesus we are One!

.

We live in a war zone

Though the battle’s already won

We must decide who we believe

Whose side we are on

Jesus says, “I have saved you

With myself I’ve made you One!

The old you died on the cross

Now you’re God’s Sons in my Kingdom!”

.

Identity, it matters

And We are God’s Sons

Made in Jesus’ image

For with Jesus we are One!

.

We can live from the old man

With all his sins and failures

Live in hopelessness

Where fear and shame stalk us

Or live from God’s Word

Who says “You are God’s Sons!

Love, joy, peace and righteousness

Will fill all your days!”

.

Identity, it matters

And We are God’s Sons

Made in Jesus’ image

For with Jesus we are One!
