“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Psalm 23

Posted on by

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:  he leadeth me beside the still waters.  He restoreth my soul:  he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.  Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:  for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:  thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:  and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

These words are true and I am so thankful to have my Father in heaven who loves and takes care of me.  He lifts my spirit when I am down cast and in need of comfort.  The Lord holds me when I have no one to hold me or any shoulder to cry on.  Though I may be mostly alone in this cold, cruel world; truly I am not alone.  My God of all comfort and love shines His light into my soul and heart.  Praise the Lord!

“Rend your hearts to the Lord your God”

Joel 2:13 Rend your heart and not your garments.  Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

Since the beginning of creation, the devil has been roaming around the earth, seeking to destroy by deception and temptation of sin

Though temptation itself is not against the Lord, but the desire of one’s mind and heart, listening to evil by choosing to give in

The Lord made us in the image of Him, creating us in His perfection and holiness; For He gave us a heart, mind, and soul to know God with free will

He speaks to us all, most  ignore Him, others hear, yet say in their heart, ‘No’, while so few tune their ears to hear what He says to take root deeply in their hearts

Look with your eyes, do you see the spiritual war?  Demons possess those who ignore God, others are deceived to destruction, while the few are oppressed by darts

These darts thrown by Satan and his evil demon angels are used by God  to train the few chosen who are faithful to abide in His love by being refined in the fire

Daily being changed and transformed into the likeness of God’s Son, growing continually in His love, with ever ready ears to listen to God and ignore the ultimate liar

Predestination simply means this: The Lord God made each person and gave us all a heart, mind, and soul to choose to obey; He already knew who chooses to go or stay

God hardens the hearts of those He already knew will never listen to Truth; Those who listen to Jesus and believe He is the Savior that His Father has sent

Will be given the Holy Spirit of God to live in their heart, which will convict them of sin and choose obedience to Jesus to be baptized in water to repent

True disciples of Jesus will show their love for Jesus by obeying His teachings as He says this in John 14:23 clearly says those who love Him will obey His teaching

Do you hear the words of Jesus?  Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned; Speak Truth with preaching

Only God can say whether a person on their death bed without baptism can be saved; don’t let Satan use this as a reason to take away the words that Jesus said

We can still preach to those who are dying , just remember to still obey the teachings of Jesus to baptize others who believe and leave the former to God instead

Those who love Jesus by obeying His teachings will receive the Holy Spirit of God as it says in John 14:23, Listen with your ears and with the eyes of your heart to see

The Truth is : those who believe that Jesus is their Lord and Savior will show their love for Him by being obedient when He says to be baptized in water to repent

Because John the Baptist led the way for baptism that Jesus would show is an example to follow Him which was to show the fulfillment of all righteousness

Should we say’No’ to what Jesus teaches us to do and expect Him receive us if we reject His Words?  By doing this we are like Judas, who chose to betray Jesus with a kiss

“Warnings About False Preachers/Teachers” This is urgent for all believers in Jesus, Romans 16:17-18

Posted on by

I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned.  Keep away from them.  For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites.  By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.  2 Peter 2: 1-3  But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you.  They will secretly bring destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who brought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves.  Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the truth into disrepute.  In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up.  Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

2 Timothy 4: 1-5 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing, and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage- with great patience and careful instruction.  For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.  Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.  But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

“At that time don’t believe anyone who tells you, ‘Here is the Messiah!’  or ‘There he is!’  False messiahs and false prophets will appear.  They will work spectacular, miraculous signs and do wonderful things to deceive, if possible, even those whom God has chosen.  Listen!  I’ve told you this before it happens.  So if someone tells you, ‘He’s in the desert!’  don’t go out looking for him.  And don’t believe anyone who says, ‘He’s in a secret place!’  The Son of Man will come again just as lightning flashes from east to west.  Vultures will gather wherever there is a dead body.  “Immediately after the misery of those days, the sun will turn dark, the moon will not give light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the universe will be shaken.  Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky.  All the people on earth will cry in agony when they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds in the sky with power and great glory.  He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and from every direction under the sky, they will gather those whom God has chosen.  Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; John 6:39-40 The one who sent me doesn’t want me to lose any of those he gave me.  He wants me to bring them back to life on the last day.  My Father wants all those who see the Son and believe in him to have eternal life.  He wants me to bring them back to life on the last day.

“Growing Together Until The End” Wicked will be gathered&taken to be burned, Matthew 13:24-30,36-43

Jesus used another illustration.  He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who planted good seed in his field.  But while people were asleep, his enemy planted weeds in the wheat field and went away.  When the wheat came up and formed kernels, weeds appeared.  The owner’s workers came to him and asked, ‘Sir, didn’t you plant good seed in your field?  Where did the weeds come from?’  “He told them, ‘An enemy did this.’  “His workers asked him, ‘Do you want us to pull out the weeds?’  He replied, ‘No.  If you pull out the weeds, you may pull out the wheat with them.  Let both grow together until the harvest.  When the grain is cut, I will tell the workers to gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles to be burned.  But I’ll have them bring the wheat into my barn.’ ”  When Jesus had sent the people away, he went into the house.  His disciples came to him and  said, “Explain what the illustration of the weeds in the field means.”  He answered, “The one who plants the good seeds is the Son of Man.  The field is the world.  The good seeds are those who belong to the kingdom.  The weeds are those who belong to the evil one.  The enemy who planted them is the devil.  The harvest is the end of the world.  The workers are angels.  Just as weeds are gathered and burned, so it will be at the end of time.  The Son of Man will send his angels.  They will gather everything in his kingdom that causes people to sin and everyone who does evil.  The angels with throw them into a blazing furnace.  People will cry and be in extreme pain there.  Then the people who have God’s approval will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom.  Let the person who has ears listen!

“God’s Truth In Righteousness” Take heart: Matthew 3:15, 28:18-20, Mark 16:16, John 3:5, Luke 6:47-49

John the Baptist led the way to the promised Messiah of the chosen Jews and world in Matthew 3:11-17  I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:  Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.  Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John to be baptized of him.  But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?  And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.  Then he suffered him.  And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.   Jesus speaks clearly about salvation to His disciples and we need to know this in our heart when we are gathering with Jesus those who belong to Him and obey His words in Matthew 28:18-20  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  (other translations have Spirit)  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.

There are those who falsely believe they do not need to be baptized, but it is a lie of the devil.  Jesus tells us clearly the truth about both believing in His name and be baptized in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to born again and saved in Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.  John 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  Luke 6:47-49 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them I will show you to whom he is like:  He is like a man which built a house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when a flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon on a rock.  But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

We who are the children of God by the blood of Jesus, we are to go out and tell others the gospel of Jesus, and those who believe need to be baptized with water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. (Spirit is another translation)  Baptism in the water fully like Jesus to fulfill all righteousness of God.  John the baptist tells us that baptism in water represents repentance in Matthew 3:6, 11 And were baptized of him in Jordan confessing their sins.  I indeed baptize you with repentance:  but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:  he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Born again is believing in the name of the Son of God which is Jesus, repentance of sin by being baptized in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Those who claim to believe but have not been baptized in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not saved.  Do not be fooled into lies by the devil.  One must first believe in the name of Jesus as the Son of God as their Lord and Savior, then repent by baptism of the body in water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  This is what being born again is and it is God’s Truth in Righteousness.  I pray for all of you who read this:  Brothers and sisters, don’t just tell about Jesus alone as I am learning this also as I am writing it; but clearly those who believe that Jesus is their Lord and Savior, find a lake, bathtub, or pool and baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to be saved.  Also, teach them what they need to do also and of course find a church home so they can continue and grow in their walk with the Lord.  Those who disbelieve this truth, I will pray that God will speak to your heart because as John the baptist says in Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.  Our days are numbered and we don’t know when our last day on this earth will be, nor do we know when Jesus will come again; only our Father in heaven knows.  Psalm 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  Matthew 24:36  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

“The Lord’s Rebuke” Proverbs 19:20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise.

These Words in God’s Holy Word, the Bible are True and it is only natural, at first glance to shun them, however if we do this, then we are only listening to Satan instead of the Holy Spirit of God.  This is one reason why our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus taught us about being humble in our heart.  The Lord uses others to give us messages of Truth in His Word, when we are in error, and grieving the Holy Spirit of God.  Praise the Lord for this rebuke when someone corrects you in Truth of the Bible.  Those who speak of false lies by denying that Jesus came in the flesh being fully human and fully God, along with His death and resurrection on the cross for the sin of the world, and to save those who believe and trust in Him as their Lord and Savior, are one of the many antichrist.  We should not listen to anything they tell us.  We need to pray for our brothers and sisters in all of the earth for spiritual strength and guidance so they will grow in the Love of Christ Jesus and obtain wisdom with understanding for God’s Word.  We also need to pray for the lost souls who don’t know of the Love of Christ Jesus to be reconciled back to God as well as those who reject Him altogether.  My brothers and sisters, we are all growing and learning in our walk with the Lord.  We all strive to walk without error in the Lord, but we still at times make bad choices, which are sin against God and others.

Because of this reason, we are to accept rebuke from the Lord, whether He is speaking to your heart, or through another brother or sister in the faith to speak to you the wisdom that only God can give.  Proverbs 17:10 A rebuke impresses a man of discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool.  Proverbs 19:20  Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise.  2 Timothy 2:7, 15 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.  John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

“Urgent Message Regarding Submission To Rulers” 1Peter 2:13-17, 21-25

Posted on by

The Lord has called me to tell all brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, that we are to honor our president as it is honoring the Lord.  This is not possible with a human being alone, but all things are possible with God.  Pray in the name of Jesus to change your heart to honor all those in authority whether they are good or bad because God has anointed them to serve here.  The Lord has chosen both good and bad rulers, so we must honor the Lord’s chosen person who is in charge of our nation.  God puts people in charge whether they recognize Him or not, for His purpose to serve.  1 Peter 2:13-17, 21-25 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men; whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.  For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men.  Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.  Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.  To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.  “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”  When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats.  Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.  He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.  For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Satan deceives and tells lies regarding God’s truth.  Even if we don’t agree with our president, we should submit and honor him because when we do, we honor the Lord.  The only time to not submit to the authority of a bad ruler is if he or she commands us to deny God, or to do evil.  The laws we have in place are against God, however, we are not being commanded or forced into partaking in them.  If commanded or by force, we are to resist to do evil and not participate in their ways, even unto the point of death, as we have no fear of death like those who don’t have God.  By submitting and honoring those who are in charge is this:  we are not retaliating to violence as Jesus taught us, nor do we speak ill against anyone that God has chosen, including those who are against God and do wicked things.  Instead, we are taught by the Lord to pray for our enemies which are enemies to God, but seeking Him in prayer for their soul and not to gossip about them, but rather, out of sorrow in our hearts, we need to feel pity for their soul.  We need not be concerned about the things of this temporary world, for one day soon it will perish.  Our concern must be for those who are enemies to God, the lost and hurting souls who are demon possessed or oppressed and don’t have the hope we have.  We being born in the Spirit of God are called to love all people whether they love us or not.  Matthew 5:44-45 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.  He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and unrighteous.

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons.  Freely you have received, freely give. Mark 1:27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching-and with authority!  He even gives orders to evil spirits and they obey him.”  Acts 8:4-7 Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.  Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ there.  When the crowds heard Philip and saw the miraculous signs he did, they all paid close attention to what he said.  With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many paralytics and cripples were healed.  Ephesians 6:10-12 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God so you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Romans 6:12-13 Do not, then, allow sin to establish any power over your mortal bodily parts to be as if it were, weapons of evil for the devil’s purposes.  But, like men rescued from certain death, put yourselves in God’s hands as weapons of good for his own purposes.  This is urgent regarding our enemies who strike us and our brethren in the faith who may cause strife with hardship, so we must take heart these words in Ephesians 4:26-27 , 29-32 In your anger do not sin.  Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.  Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.  And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.  Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.  Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

“Watch out for that sneaky devil, Satan! The traps he sets are not always obvious!

Posted on by

I am learning the hard way about how Satan is so sneaky that he sets traps that don’t look like a trap.  Truly I am dealing with this now in my marriage and relationship with my children and I know that it is Satan and the demon angels that work with him to seek to destroy and wreak havok on lives, especially those who are the children of God.  The first time I had an encounter with Satan, was when I first became a child of God in the name of Jesus.  I saw Satan and his many demon followers in a vision of the night.  I was for the first time getting ready to start a 7 day Daniel fast for spiritual strength for my former church.  The night before this, Satan and his evil angels were surrounding me with their bows and arrows.  They did not look scary at all, infact, they looked beautiful, but they were dark and ugly on the inside because nothing on the outside suggested they were evil.  Once surrounding me, they simultaneously shot their bows and arrows at me, but amazingly they bounced right off of me and didn’t hurt me.  Satan spoke to me face to face and said to me, “you will not do the Daniel fast and you will not pray to God.”  Looking at him directly in the eye, I said, “Get away from me Satan in the name of Jesus.  I know what you are trying to do.”  He thought that he could scare me with his many followers and their weapons of spiritual warfare and him demanding me not to do the Daniel fast and pray to God.  Satan conviently forgets how God made him beautiful on the outside and evil itself cannot be detected just by looking on the outside.  The myths of how the devil looks is absolutely not true, but his heart is so dark and evil on the inside, hard and full of pride.  Satan does know that those who are children of God have been given the authority in the name of Jesus to drive out demons and to resist him and his evil schemes.  Some people think that driving out demons is only for the disciples who were with Jesus and right after his resurrection.

But this is not true and another lie of the devil because he does know this and will attempt any and all things to cause problems and calamity.  Before Jesus ascended to heaven he gave the disciples many instructions and authority of power in his name and is given to believers who accept the gospel to be saved, baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; truly they shall have signs to follow them.  All believers have one or more spiritual gifts and those are the signs that will follow them.  God is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow.  These signs are not just for those in the Bible, but for the believers who are given spiritual gifts as signs.  Those who reject this truth are like those whom the Bible speaks of in the last days as having a form of godliness but denying its power.  We cannot deny the power of God regarding all the signs in the new covenant of believers in Jesus.  Not all have these signs, but today there are those who have the gift of healing in the name of Jesus, today there are those in the body of Christ who have the gift of miracles, speaking in new tongues, driving out demons, and yes there are those who are prophets today with the gift of prophecy.  The prophets today do not add to the Bible or take anything away, but are guided for edification in the church.  Do not be decieved as those in the last days who deny the power of Jesus and is God the Son regarding this warning in 2 Timothy 3:5 having a form of godliness but denying its power.  Have nothing to do with them.

Instead we ought to pray in the Holy Spirit who reveals the truth in our hearts and have faith in the power of the name of our Lord and Savior regarding all spiritual gifts in the new covenant.  Mark 16:15-19 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.  Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.  And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people and they will get well.”  After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.  Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. 

The Bible tells of how the Lord worked with the disciples and confirmed His word by the signs that followed the disciples.  The last statement doesn’t mean it was the ending for the signs to follow, but in the Bible it is speaking of the Word of God and with the disciples that did this and confirmed it.  Prayerfully read verse 17-18:And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.  This says that when the disciples went into the world and preached the good news, for those who believe they were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were believers and followers of Jesus, another name is disciple.  They also then were to obey the words of Jesus to go and make disciples and had the signs of those who believe in the name of Jesus and his authority and power.  Truly this is not just for the first disciples because it clearly states those who believe.  These are the Spiritual gifts of God to His children as it states in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.  To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and still another the interpretations of tongues.  All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.

That was the last time Satan tried to frighten me in a vision of the night.  Full of pride, Satan thought that he could scare me or trick me somehow, but he is limited in his knowledge and God allowed me to see Satan and the many fallen angels that surrounded me, using their bows to throw the many arrows at me at the exact same time, the accuser Satan watched as they all bounced right off of me and right back to them.  Satan, knows ever since then that he doesn’t accomplish anything in coming directly to me with many angels, so he is now using other methods to torment me and God does allow this as it does keep me humble in God, although I am still a work in progress, that God uses bad things to refine His children with.  Ephesians 6:11, 16 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  

God has given me the gift of prophecy from which He has given me visions of the night and day regarding the truth in the Bible.  What He shows me does not add nor take away from the Bible.  He puts words in my mouth to speak to others regarding their lives and His Word in the Bible.  The Lord shows me visions of things directly related to me and others in their lives.  I have seen in my visions of the night of both heaven and hell.  The Lord is instructing me when to share these things I have seen, which only confirms directly what is already written in the Bible along with scripture that Jesus spoke to me regarding the day of redemption, and I had only just became a child of God, not knowing much about what is written in the Bible, only to read later in the Bible what Jesus said to me in a vision of the night which confirmed what I heard from him and had seen about heaven.  There are many more things I will share, and write exactly all about it later as the Lord guides me.  What I write and speak of, I have not planned or thought out, infact it is only confirming the Spiritual gift of prophecy that  God has given me because everything that God reveals to me is already in the Bible.  His perfect timing is when messages are given for me to speak regarding the scripture that is already present.

Psalm 51:1-17 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.  Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.  For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.  Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.  Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.  Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.  Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.  Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.  Hide your face from my sins and blot out all of my iniquity.  Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.  Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.  Save me from my bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.  O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.  You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.                                                           The heart prayer spoken with words to express to the Lord are humble and submissive showing a poor spirit that is recognizing their need for God.  The only One to give credit for this is God because all who have the Spirit of God are convicted and reminded of their need for God.  The heart prayer is a willful surrender to God.  repetitive words spoken by the pagans dishonor God in their heart.  Praying for the motive of praise by men are like those of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and teachers of the law, which were known hypocrites, who in their heart did not know God, or else they would have known that Jesus is the Messiah who would save them and the others who aren’t the chosen children of God who have faith in the Lord, either before Jesus came here, or when He was here to believe and receive healing for their brokeness.  The Jews who were saved before the New Covenant was fulfilled by God, received the Holy Spirit of God.  However, the Lord did remove the Holy Spirit from those whom did not obey God, like King Saul who was before King David.  The chosen people of God who had faith in God and obeyed Him, the Holy Spirit stayed with them. The New Covenant was foretold by the old prophets which God inspired for them to write.  Matthew 6:5-7 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.  I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.  But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.  Then, your Father, who sees what is done in secret will reward you.  And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.  The New Covenant of God does not take away the Holy Spirit of God from those who have Him in their hearts.  Those who have the Holy Spirit of God receive Him deeply rooted in their hearts.  Others who momentarily follow Jesus and soon leave the faith, never receive the Holy Spirit because He will not be taken away.  What is taken away is the seed planted because the heart is not ripe to receive Him by either the devil taking it away, being choked from the weeds to die,or it’s not where it can grow at all. Matthew 13:18-23  “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.  This is the seed sown along the path.  The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.  But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time.  When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.  The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but he worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.  But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it.  He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
