YEHOVAH WILL NOT DISPISE A BROKEN ANDCONTRITE HEART?

A contrite attitude of mind comes from a person who has come to realize their poverty of spirit, their total incapability to do anything that is pleasing to God by their own self will, that it is impossible. They realize that they are poor in spirit and need God's Spirit to indwell them, to enable them to accomplish all that He requires of them as His adopted sons/daughters. They indeed come before Him in an attitude of repentance, asking for His forgiveness.

Notice: Whatever God requires or commands you to do He will always provide you with the power to do what He has asked you to do!

Now, God responds by forgiving that son/daughter because of the sin-offering sacrifice of His beloved son Jesus who by his shed blood has reconciled all mankind unto his God and his Father Yehovah.

We should also realize that we are bought and paid for by the blood of the Lord Jesus and are no longer our own. We are as a result slaves of his God and God Yehovah, and as such have no right to act according to our self-will following the ways of this world. We have now become as Paul says slaves of righteousness - right doing according to the will of Yehovah our Master, and of His son Jesus our Lord!

The amazing result of our becoming a slave of our God and Father Yehovah and the Lord Jesus is; that they as our masters, our slave owners are required to provide for us in every way and to enable us to live according to their righteous requirements! He came to indwell all those whom his God and Father will call, through the power of His Spirit which He has given to His son Jesus, to give unto those that are His. It was Jesus who poured out the promised Spirit of God at Pentecost! God has given to him not only to have life in himself but to give us to have life in ourselves, resurrection life, new age life as new creations in him; to be enabled by His Spirit to walk in faith obedience before him!

So in summary, our repentance and baptism are just the beginning of our salvation walk. As regenerate persons we are to now seek to be renewed in our mind and spirit, to become more and more like the Lord Jesus. Jesus was the outshining of his God and Father on this earth and still is at His right hand in the heavenly places! May we all strive to become the sons/daughters that our God and Father Yehovah who has given us every means to enter into His rulership/kingdom. The Lord Jesus has given us his all, we need to respond by giving him our all, in total commitment to him and to his God and our God Yehovah.

Notice: Luke 11:23: Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. We should understand to be with our Lord Jesus is to give him are all! If you give him your all you will gather others to be enabled by Yehovah's Spirit to come under His kingship/kingdom rule, and enter into great rewards.

An example Jesus has set before us: John 8:29: And He who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him." He gave his all for his God and Father Yehovah!

Revelation 22:12: "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.

We need to abide in his love and walk through this sin-sick world as a light to all those we come in contact with. To show forth the Lord Jesus God's anointed one in our lives, in all we say and do. We do so as his willing slaves seeking to do our master's will which is to love our neighbors as ourselves as he did, and in doing so will have entrance into the coming new age and the Kingdom of God. May that day soon come!

Notice: The following is my response to a person's question about overcoming substance abuse:

A person with substance abuse problems who prays to God for relief and help is on the right track. God looks at the heart of anyone who approaches him and acts accordingly.

If anyone comes to God with a contrite and humble repentant heart seeking His help in anything He will hear and will give the power of His Spirit to all who ask in a right attitude of mind.

Addiction to anything whether it is drugs, alcohol, sex, money, or power, are all signs that the sin in us is exercising its control, and those who are in such a position are in a condition of bondage.

Thank God, He has provided the means by which we can be free and that He gave His uniquely begotten Son in order that we may have life, and walk in newness of life, walk in the spirit, and as such overcome the desires of the flesh.

Amazing grace that saves a wretch like me and gives me the strength to be set free from the bondage of sin, to regard the old man as dead, and enables me to walk in newness of life, in resurrection life. That life is available for all who come to the lord Messiah Jesus and desire to live in him according to faith-obedience.
