新灵新心

“我要使他们有合一的心，也要将新灵放在他们里面，又从他们肉体中除掉石心，赐给他们肉心，”
以西结书11:19

光化射线是火焰产生化学变化的特性。这种射线让木头变成灰，使钢铁回火，让物质的颜色和形状发生变化。正是因为太阳光里这种射线的特性，使种子成为植物，发芽开花，又从青草变成干草。就是这种奇妙的射线，它的转化作用可以让无用的东西变得有用。

正如这种热量射线一样，神也有特别的大能在属灵的领域施行改变。一个人一旦与神建立联系，他就一定会改变。神的火焰要么吸引，要么驱赶，要么拯救，要么毁灭，要么帮扶，要么阻碍。接受神，就是恩惠和祝福；拒绝神，就是祸患和咒诅。在主的十字架的两旁，一个将死的盗贼被主的爱所吸引，回应了救主，得到救恩，另一个盗贼转脸拒绝了神的怜悯，他就失丧了。

神使软弱的变得刚强；使污秽的变得洁净；使不配的变得有价值；使有罪的变得圣洁。因此，以西结说：“我要使他们有合一的心，也要将新灵放在他们里面，又从他们肉体中除掉石心，赐给他们肉心。”

今日祷告：
天父，求祢柔软我的心，好叫我顺服你，聆听祢的声音。柔软我的心，去爱失丧的人，去跟随我主耶稣的脚踪；奉耶稣的圣名，阿门。

A NEW HEART NEEDED
I will give them a new heart and a new mind.I will take away their stubborn heart of stone and will give them an obedient heart.Ezekiel 11:19 TEV
The actinic ray is that property of fire which works chemical change.It turns wood to ashes,tempers steel,and changes the color and form of objects which come in contact with it.
It is this property in the rays of the sun which transforms seeds into plants,buds into flowers,and grass into hay.It is the miracle ray which makes useless things useful through the process of change.
Like the calorific ray,it is also a physical symbol of God’s ability to do mightier things in the spiritual realm.
When a man comes in contact with God,he can never be the same agin.This“fire”either draws or drives,saves or destroys,helps or hinders.Accepted and utilized,it becomes a boon and a blessing.Rejected,it becomes a bane and a curse.One dying thief was drawn to the warmth of the Savior;he responded and was saved.The other dying thief turned away and rejected God’s compassion;he was lost.
God takes the weak and makes them strong.He takes the vile and makes them clean.He takes the worthless and makes them worthwhile.He takes the sinful and makes them sinless.
With this in mind,Ezekiel said,“Thus saith the Lord God…A new heart also will I give you,and a new spirit will I put within you:and I will take away the stony heart.”
Pray for the Day:
Father,soften my heart to obey You,to hear and heed Your voice.Soften my heart for the lost,to follow in the footsteps of my Lord Jesus;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
