Come As You Are

Ezekiel 36:26

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”

It is absolutely wonderful to know that when you totally surrender to God, He will clean you up and put you on your path to greatness. So when you hear somebody say I need to get my life right before I can give my life to Christ, you need to let them know that they will never get their life together. Let them know that there is no place in God’s word that talks about having to clean yourself up before coming to Christ. In fact the word of God says, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” You let people know that this is what is required of them if they want to be saved. Let them know that after they confess with their mouth and believe in their heart, then God will take it from there by renewing their heart and sending the Holy Spirit to dwell in them and help them along the way. The Holy Spirit in us, if we listen, is the one that can direct us and tell us what we should and should not do. Let them know that the Holy  Spirit is the one and only one who can clean them up if they release their will for God’s will.
