Pure and defiled.

Titus 1:15-16 NKJV

To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

Shalom! Day #17. It's a good day to be alive. Let's pray. Father, thank You for this day. As we study Your word, Holy we open our hearts for reproof, rebuke and correction. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen.

Do you know that an unbelieving heart will never prosper and will never be able to see the things which God has already prepared for them? To the pure all things are pure. Pure in the spirit. Pure towards the things of God. A believing heart is a pure heart. A defiled heart is a heart that's constantly in war with the spirit of God. A defiled heart, there is nothing pure in it. A defiled heart is a disobedient heart. A defiled and unbelieving person, no matter what they do, there will be always dissatisfaction because their minds are polluted with the things of the world and the ways of the world. They don't have an intimate relationship with God. Jesus said in Matthew 5:8 blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. The pure heart have an intimate relationship with God.

A defiled heart person, they claim to know God, but in action not. In every ways they deny it. A person who knows God, serves God; will allow God to work in their hearts and prunes the best out of them. The people had to decide whether they would obey the Lord, who had proven his trustworthiness, or obey the local gods, which were only handmade idols. It's easy to slip into a quiet rebellion-going about life in your own way. But the time comes when you have to choose who or what will control you. The choice is yours. Will it be God, your own limited personality, or another imperfect substitute? Once you have chosen to be controlled by God's Spirit, reaffirm your choice every day. A person that's not willing to change will never prosper. The decision to change is at our hands. If we are not willing to change according to the ways of God, then stop murmuring and complaining when God brings or puts a person alongside that He may work through them to mould us and to make us into a beautiful vessels.

Let this day be the day of the Lord.
