Hearts Aligned In The Truth - Pastor Ekpenyong

Isaiah 29:13NLT 

And so the Lord says, "These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is  but man-made rules learned by rote.

There is a huge difference between a culture where obedience and compliance are the bottom line and a culture where relationship is the bottom line. The contrast is perhaps seen most clearly when people fall.

It is heart issues that lead to mistakes and until we learn to deal with what is going on inside of us, we simply cannot learn to manage freedom because God, the Father, is less interested in compliance and much more interested in love.

This is the reason that He is trying to prepare us to live absolutely free lives in an environment of unlimited options more than trying to keep us from sin. Halleluyah!

Our responses to circumstances will either be right or wrong, depending on the accuracy of our interpretation. If I try to change my response to circumstances just because I know it is the right response, while continuing to perceive things the same way, I will be in conflict with myself.

Let your heart therefore align with the Father’s perspective and desire so that your response to circumstances will not just be right because it is right to so do but because your interpretation is consistent with the Father’s will.

Our inner conflicts are quickly resolved not because our responses are always right but because our perspective aligns with the Father’s will.

Glory!
