Seeing God

Am I pure in heart?

• Are my motives pure? my thinking not double-minded?
• Have I laid down other allegiances and affections that I have cherished more than Jesus?
• Do I have a single-minded devotion to Jesus Christ?

You’re blessed... 

• when you get your inside world—
• your mind and heart—put right. 
• Then you can see God in the outside world.

The Message Eugene H. Peterson

God blesses... 

• those whose hearts are pure,
• for they will see God.

Matthew 5:8

We are not called to apply the Beatitudes literally, 

• but to allow the life of God to invade us by regeneration, 
• and then to soak our minds in the teaching of Jesus Christ. 
• This teaching will slip down into the subconscious mind, 
• and at some point, circumstances will arise in which one of Jesus Christ’s statements emerges. 
• Instantly, we must decide whether we will accept the tremendous spiritual revolution that will be produced if we obey this precept of His.
