Come Out of Compromise

My Bride, I invite you to experience the refining fire of My love that brings purity of heart.  A pure heart is one which is obedient to truth, free from deceit, undivided in loyalty and completely devoted to Me. I have so much more for you to step into, but I need you to respond to the cost of this high call. 

I am looking for purity in My people that will not tolerate mixed motives, self-interest, modern-day idols and fear of man. The religious spirit has tainted the attribute of purity and caused the Body of Christ to dismiss it as both unattainable and irrelevant to the world. As a result of this deception, partnering with worldly compromise has disempowered the church.

So come to Me in humility and let Me lovingly show you where you partner with wrong heart motivation and where ‘idols’ exalt themselves above intimacy with Me. It is often so subtle, but do not allow yourselves to be temporarily satisfied by anything less than a righteous pursuit of Me.

The world is longing to see a pure, authentic bride who loves her King and whose actions speak loudly as well as her words. A bride whose governance is trustworthy and safe. Purity is empowering, freeing and brings joy. Just as I promised in the Beatitudes, the more you live in purity the more you see Me, and the more the world will see Me in you.

As you read the word above, notice if the Holy Spirit brings conviction. In humility, allow the Lord to show you if there are any mixed motives or divided loyalties in your heart. Are there any idols or false comforts that need to be removed? If so, repent and receive forgiveness. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you scriptures to meditate on that will strengthen you to walk in purity of heart in the days ahead – ask him to satisfy your every need, so that you are a living example on the earth – bringing the Kingdom wherever you are.

Psalm 86:11 (NIV)

Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

Psalm 24: 3-4 (NLT)
Who may climb the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies.
Proverbs 16:2 (NIV)
All a person’s ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the Lord.
