24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.”
Ezekiel 36:24-27
Questions for Reflection:
What areas of your life would you maybe call a Babylon for you?
How does knowing God is the ONE who will redeem you in all ways help you?
How does knowing God’s Spirit is what compels you to follow God’s ways with ease comfort you?
Prayer of the Week:
Holy Spirit, thank you for coming. I love You, I worship You, I trust You. I praise and thank You for enabling me to believe and live, in Jesus name!
I now receive all the work and triumph in Pentecost through which You have come. You have clothed me with power from on high. You have sealed me in Christ, become my union with the Father and the Son, the Spirit of truth in me, the life of God in me, my counselor, comforter, healer, strength, and guide. (You may pray here about specific needs today for the Spirit’s counsel, comfort, strength, healing and guidance.)
I honor You as Lord, and I fully give to You every aspect and dimension of my spirit, soul, body, heart, mind, and will—to be filled with You, to walk in step with You in all things. Fill me afresh, Holy Spirit. (Slowly repeat this phrase a couple of times, pausing to simply receive Him)
Restore my union with the Father and the Son. Lead me into all truth, anoint me for all of my life and walk and calling, and lead me deeper into Jesus today. I receive You with thanks, and I give You total claim to my life. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen
