Wash your heart from evil, O Jerusalem, that you may be saved. How long will your wicked thoughts lodge within you? Jeremiah 4:14.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I am just when I judge because I judge by what is in your heart, by the thoughts and intentions of your heart.
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we must account. Hebrews 4:12-13.
The plumb line for judgment of the heart is does what is in your heart line up with My Word.
“I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. If anyone hears My Words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects Me and does not receive My Word, has one who judges him; the Word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” John 12:46-50.
If there is hate in a person’s heart, if Satan is dwelling in that person’s heart, I cannot take that person into My Kingdom. The wrong spirit is in that person, it is not the Holy Spirit and only the Holy Spirit can raise you up to new life.
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Ephesians 2:1-2.
Judas could not come to My Kingdom when he died because his heart had Satan enthroned in it and not Me. At first, Satan put into the heart of Judas the thought to betray Jesus, seeing if that thought would implant or be rejected. John 13:2. Judas, offended when Jesus had disagreed with him when he had declared that the perfumed oil that was poured on Jesus should have been sold and the money given to the poor, let that thought in and went to the chief priests to see what they would pay him for betraying Jesus at a time they could arrest him without the crowds who followed Him present. He did not reject the thought but kept playing with it in his mind, it fed his pride, giving him a feeling of superiority that he could control the destiny of Jesus and win favor with the Sanhedrin, guaranteeing a well provided for future. But at the Passover Supper, the night he betrayed him, Satan entered Judas’ heart through the door Judas had opened to him and took him captive to do Satan’s will.
So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. John 13:26-27.
That was the first dipping of the bitter herbs which represented the dipping of Joseph’s cloak in the blood when he was betrayed and sold by his brothers, which eventually took Israel to Egypt which ultimately put them into slavery. But the second dipping at the Passover meal represented the dipping of the hyssop in the blood of the Passover Lamb that painted upon the doors into their dwellings kept the destroyer out of their hearts to steal, kill, and destroy. Judas left after the first dipping to betray his brother.
Judas went his own way, to his own place. Acts 1:25. At that point I could not stop him.
For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned. Hebrews 6:5-8.
Judas had experienced Jesus for three years, tasted My good Word and seen the supernatural at work to heal and bring wonders, and yet he betrayed him. Judas never called Him “Lord,” only “rabbi.” Matthew 26:25.
You must go with the one you have enthroned in your heart. You cannot serve two masters. You will love one and despise the other. And the servant becomes like his master. You will go with the one you are obeying, for that is the one you have let in your heart. Adam’s heart changed from being in the image of love to having nothing but evil.
This is the way of those who are foolish, and of those after them who approve their words. As sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall rule over them in the morning, and their form shall be for Sheol to consume so that they have no habitation. Psalm 49:13-14.
Be careful what you let enter your heart. It will become your master, whether for good or for evil.
Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.” Genesis 4:6-7.
The test at your passing from this life is whether there is love or hate in your heart. And that test is for everyone. I warn against an evil heart of unbelief. It kept My people out of the promised land, wandering aimlessly in the wilderness, hating one another, jealous of one another, and disrespectful of those I had put in authority to shepherd and guide them into all My benefits and a life of fellowship with Me as a royal priesthood for all. But they hardened their hearts to Me and would not. Why? I worked wonders for them, miracles such as no one had every heard or seen. And I gave them Moses as their fearless and humble leader. They saw My works but they never were interested enough to learn My ways, which are lovingkindness and truth.
Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. Hebrews 3:12.
It is time to examine your heart. What have you let into your heart? It does not matter how much you say, “Jesus is Lord,” if your heart is filled with hate, if you have not love it means nothing. It must be of the heart. You are judged whether you go with Me or the devil by what I see, or shall I say, the one I see in your heart. Do I see My image or that image of Satan there? Deeds are the result of what is in the heart. Eternal life and eternal death are determined solely by what is ruling in your heart. That is why if you believe in your heart I raised Jesus from the dead and confess with you mouth Jesus is Lord, you are saved. Hatred, malice, unforgiveness have no place with Me, only love, for I am love. I think in love, talk in love, walk in love, and act in love, nothing else can enter Me or find a place in Me.
Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. 1 Peter 2:1-2.
Love is born of Me.
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:7-11.
Hate is born of the devil and should be rejected by you as quickly as you would reject sickness and disease.
Get rid of all malice, bitterness, offense, hate, and the like by pouring in My Word. It is My Word that can clean out your hearts and it is My Word by which I judge your hearts. It all starts by receiving My implanted Word that can save your souls.
Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. James 1:21-22.
To clear your heart you must be born again from above by planting My Word in your heart which will uproot the corruptible seed of the lie of Satan that Adam allowed to plant in his heart, as Judas also did, leading unto eternal death and give you eternal life. It will raise you above where Christ is seated at My right hand.
For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Peter 1:23.
I have shown all of you now a better way, for I have come to fix your hearts by giving you the gift of the new birth by My Word and the gift of the Holy Spirit through whom I pour My love into your heart so that I may share My joy, My life with you, if you will only receive it. It is the promise I gave to My prophet Ezekiel, and to others as well, such as Joel.
Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. Ezekiel 36:25-27.
Jesus came to undo the works of the devil. With the devil you took evil into your heart and cut yourselves off from Me, like a branch cut out of the vine, but in Jesus all that sin was put on Him and He became sin for you so that in Him you can become righteous with My own righteousness and come back into Me, attached again to the flow of the Kingdom of Heaven.
When you are full of My Word and the Holy Spirit, nothing else can come in, for the devil will find no place for your spirit and soul will be fully occupied. It is only a vacant place he can fill. If you are being tormented and tempted by evil thoughts then you are not filled with My Word and My Spirit and you can fix that by feeding on My Word and drinking of the Spirit.
Listen to yourself. If you are complaining you are not full of the right thing but have opened the door to the wrong thing. You left room for the evil one. Give him no place. Love is a protection to keep you from the wrong flow. Love shuts the door to evil. Perfect love casts out all fear. A heart filled with pure love produces a life free from torment. If your heart is not right, your life won’t be right. But if your heart is right, your life will be pure delight. Like Mine and you were made to be in My image. Return, I have redeemed you from the curse of the law of sin and death.
I have given you the way to the freedom of a pure heart, take it now without delay, seek to get your heart right above all things and all things will get into place.
“If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:31-32.
And that is the answer to everything: My Word in your heart and in your mouth. It will make your life beautiful, the most beautiful life ever lived. And your fruit will endure unto an eternal reward.
I love you. I desire above all things and in all things that you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers. And there is only one way your soul prospers: by walking in the truth for then you walk free. Facts much conform to the truth if you put the pressure of faith on them. Be diligent about getting all evil out of your heart. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see Me.
Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5.
