Here's My Heart Lord - David Crowder


Here’s my heart Lord, speak what is true. God is speaking through His word, are you listening? Don’t just be hearers of the word, be doers. Some people read the bible, some people go to church on Sunday, both of these are extremely important to God, but  neither of these makes a person a child of God. If you are a true believer, your life will demonstrate it. You could read the bible all you want, never miss a Sunday at church, but if it doesn't change you to look more like Jesus, than you haven’t given Him your whole heart.

Are you found?  Are you His,. do you have life, can you breath?  Are you healed, (spiritually) and are you free?

One of Jesus' commands is to Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind. How are you doing on this? What do you spend most of your time doing? Do your actions betray your confession of what you say you believe? Jesus wants to be LORD of your life, not just an acquaintance.

As you watch and listen to this video, I pray that if you haven’t given your life to Jesus, you will make that decision soon. When you do, you will be forever grateful, and your life will be evident of that change!

As I read , and often ponder on Matthew 7: 21-23 “Not everyone that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven: but that who does the will of my Father, which is in heaven.” I wonder, what are people thinking when they confess belief of all Jesus is, but spend VERY little time with Him. Hebrews 10:25, even tells us to NOT forsake the assembly for one another. That’s how important it is to God to be with other believers in church, and even home fellowship, "[be] encouraging to one another."  I know I can’t figure this crazy world out. But with other believers, and conversation with one another in Gods word, things make more sense.

What does Matthew 7:21-23 mean to you? How does that hit your heart? Do you think you can live as you choose?   Jesus goes on to say, “MANY will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord...”  He is talking to those who think they are Christians. A lot of people think they are going to heaven by their lip service. But Jesus sees into the heart. If your heart is truly changed, your life would show it.

Many, many professed Christians do whatever they want, watch whatever they want, say whatever they want, live however they want, without any sense of conviction. To me that seems more like an unsaved person.

Sin should hurt us as much as it hurts God! If you really know God, than what breaks His heart, should break ours. It should drive us to repentance. Ezekiel 33: 11, "Turn from your wicked ways unto me and live."  This is repentance.  This is truly living.

John 3:6-7, We must,  "be born again..." or we will continue to live as our flesh desires with no sense of wrong.

"Here's my heart Lord, speak what is true." Again, ARE YOU LISTENING!!
