Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – religion is repulsive but still present manipulating people for its own advantage. Beware!

Mark 12:38-40 TPT

[38] Jesus also taught the people, “Beware of the religious scholars. They love to parade around in their clergy robes and be greeted with respect on the street. [39] They crave to be made the leaders of synagogue councils, and they push their way to the head table at banquets. [40] For appearance’s sake, they will pray long religious prayers at the homes of widows for an offering, cheating them out of their very livelihood. Beware of them all, for they will one day be stripped of honor, and the judgment they receive will be severe.”

Here is the revelation that is shaping my life today – stop focusing on behaviour and understand that it’s the overflow of my heart. Heart healing results in behavioural change.

Mark 7:20-23 TPT

[20] He added, “Words and deeds pollute a person, not food. [21] Evil originates from inside a person. Coming out of a human heart are evil schemes, sexual immorality, theft, murder, [22] adultery, greed, wickedness, treachery, debauchery, jealousy, slander, arrogance, and recklessness. [23] All these corrupt things emerge from within and constantly pollute a person.”

Here is the revelation that will shape my life today…

Lord God, unlock my heart, unlock my lips, and I will overcome with my joyous praise! For the source of your pleasure is not in my performance or the sacrifices I might offer to you. The fountain of your pleasure is found in the sacrifice of my shattered heart before you. You will not despise my tenderness as I humbly bow down at your feet.

I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.
