If God Searched Your Heart Right Now, What Will He Find?
Search my Heart Lord. By Your Grace, REMOVE everything that is not in alignment with You, Your TRUTH, and REPLACE IT (exchange) with more of Your Grace, in Jesus' name.
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.” Psalm 139:23-24
Let's dare to explore a profound question at the core of our eternal life: "If God were to search your heart at this moment, what would He find?" Let's ask GOD TO SHINE His penetrating LIGHT into the depths of our souls, a LIGHT that uncovers and purges any remnants of SELF that obstruct our alignment with HIS PERFECT WILL.
"For everyone who does evil hates the LIGHT, and does not come to the LIGHT for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the LIGHT, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." John 3:20-21
Pray for metamorphosis wherein God's boundless Grace supplants our vices of self-absorption, uncertainty, and skepticism, ushering in our NEW LIFE of humility, faith, and radical generosity.
“I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds." Jeremiah 17:10
Let's ask the Holy Spirit to search us and scrutinize the condition of our hearts, beseeching God for the merciful touch that cleanses and sanctifies us completely.
"But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup." 1 Corinthians 11:28
At the core of Grace's transformational power is God's love, which comes to us continually from the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This Grace-powered love strengthens and guides us as we surrender completely to God's will.
"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14
Let's ask God to write His Word on our hearts, so we can have a close relationship with our Father and follow Jesus faithfully by Grace.
"But now, thus says the Lord, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you." Isaiah 43:1-2
Instead of relying on ourselves, let's admit our sinful weaknesses and ask God for His Grace to fill us.
"so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 5:21
The Bible tells us to let go of false confidence and depend entirely on God's abundant confidence.
"Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:13-17
Through God's unlimited Grace, FOLLOWERS of Jesus Christ can break free from self-centeredness and embrace self-giving love and unwavering trust IN JESUS. So, I invite you to fully surrender to God's Grace and let KING JESUS redeem and restore every part of your life—making it RIGHT!
Search My Heart and SHINE Your LIGHT of LOVE
My prayer is that whenever I come in His LIGHT, I am sanctified, cleaned, and made RIGHT, by His Grace. All unbelief and doubt are removed and WE ARE MADE RIGHT BY GRACE!
“Examine me, O LORD, and try me; Test my mind and my heart.” Psalm 26:2
We draw our strength, courage, and wisdom from God’s Grace, a free gift of His LOVE. Grace is the full ministry of the TRINITY, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
"Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it." Hebrews 4:1
God’s Grace is His Righteousness
God’s Grace makes everything RIGHT in Christ.
“For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6
Through God’s Grace, the works of the devil, which are the works of unrighteousness, unbelief, doubt, and lack are DESTROYED, put under our feet FOREVER.
"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:14-16
Evil is coming for you, and God has a plan. By Grace, God has provided you with everything you need to STAND IN HIS GRACE, to wait upon Him, and to TRUST HIM with everything.
"Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:13-17
The TERM “Grace” is interchangeable with the TERM “anoint.” Whenever you read “anoint,” “anointing,” and “anointed,” think of Grace. The anointings of God are His gifts of Grace, His power, might, and wisdom to fulfill what only God can.
"For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace." John 1:16
If God Searched Your Heart Today, What Would He Find?
If God searched your heart right now, what would He find? Would He find a heart full of His Grace, or a heart full of SELF? Let’s use Hebrews 8:8-12 as our standard.
“For finding fault with them, He says, Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, When I will effect a new covenant With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers On the day when I took them by the hand To lead them out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in My covenant, And I did not care for them, says the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, says the Lord: I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER SAYING, ‘KNOW THE LORD,’ FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM. FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE. ” Hebrews 8:8-12
IS GOD YOUR GOD? Is He your Father? Are you His child? How do you know? How would you know? Is it important to know? By Grace, ASK GOD. Ask Him to search you, to answer you, and REMOVE ALL UNBELIEF by Grace.

Have you asked the Father for the Grace to write HIS WORD on YOUR HEART? If not, ASK RIGHT NOW!
"In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full." John 16:23-24

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:10-12
God’s Grace is His anointing, which is God’s power flowing “in man” to perform God’s will because only God can.
"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." Ephesians 1:18-23
Saved by Grace Alone - Is His Grace Filling Your Heart?

The question is… Did He find Humility in your heart? Did you, and do you DENY YOURSELF, confess your sins and weaknesses to the Lord Jesus? Do you turn these sins and weaknesses over to Jesus in exchange for His perfected life, faith, and more Grace?
"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." James 5:16

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14

By Grace, The Old is Gone, the New Has Come
By God’s Grace, we are IN CHRIST. By God’s Grace, we are SAVED and kept for all eternity IN CHRIST. Our old self is dead, gone, and removed. We are now a NEW CREATION, a new species, with new SPIRITUAL DNA. We are born from the will of God, and our NEW SELF is seated IN CHRIST and together we dwell in the Heart of God, sitting with Him on His Throne of Grace.

I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?” Romans 7:18, 21, 24
Will God find SELF-CONFIDENCE, or SELF-GIVING LOVE and RADICAL GENEROSITY?
