Day 4 of Clean Heart July Solemn Assembly of Prayer

Welcome to Day 4 of Clean Heart July Solemn Assembly of Prayer 

Day 4 Devotion - THE CLEAN HEART - 

WALKING IN TRUE REPENTANCE &
LOYALTY

The Ecology of the Clean Heart   - Teaching by Scott Kelso from last night

Psalm 51… Step 1. I think there is a need to pray at the inception of this process. Take care of the thought when it remains a thought. David knew this in the wake of his adultery with Bathsheba. Vs. 1-4 He didn’t try to rationalize his actions. He was desperate!

11Cor.10:5…Step 2. Take every thought captive and present it to Christ that it may be dealt with. This becomes the Judgement Bar…strong and random thoughts are dealt with here. Again, the Word of God will slay the thought.

Proverbs 28:13-14…Step 3. Confess the thought to God and do not let your heart be hardened. Ask that it may be cast aside from your mind. “He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.” Note: man on a plan, handed a porn magazine to the friend; he handed it back with a New Testament. Man began to weep and confess adultery. Are you suppressed with what you are setting your mind on?

Philippians 4:8-9…Step 4. Set your mind on things noble and praiseworthy. This is the power of a new affection.

Ps.37:5-6, Read. The battle of dealing with unworthy thoughts begins with the first thought. I love the collect used in the Rite One Holy Eucharist Episcopal service:

“Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify they holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
