A Leader's View of Heart Transformation
- Why Heart Transformation
- Nothing really changes unless the heart changes (people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me)
- We are living a numbed down, dumbed down spiritual experience from what the Lord identifies (Rev)
- We are chained to sin (wrong desires), we are not free (Rom. 6)
- We are not overflowing
- We are not doing greater things than Jesus did (Jn 14:12)
- Because the "body" is not focused on building the Kingdom
- Because we are weak in faith
- What is a Transformed Heart
- Loving with "all" our heart (Luke 10:27)
- Trusting Him fully: His plan and in His promises
- Desiring/experiencing His continual presence
- Being "full" of Spirit of God (not drunk w/wine but full)
- Experiencing the abundant life (Jn 10:10b) and rec. 100x's as much in this present age & in the age to come (Mk 10:30)
- Bearing fruit (John 15)
- Exhibiting overflowing
- Learning the partnership experience between us and God
- What is the disconnect between Heart Transformation and how we live life?
- We are lukewarm and don't know it & therefore aren't experiencing the abundant life God promises (John 10:10b)
- We have impure hearts and sometimes don't know it or deal with it (James - mirror)
- We have wrong motives - every inclination of man's heart is only evil (Gen. 6:5)
- We are holding back, we only surrender part of our life and heart
- We deny the truth and don't take it literally, don't deal with issues we would rather just keep moving on to the next thing/lesson/point (mirror)
- We really don't believe God has a better plan
- Influenced by our culture more than we know / compare ourselves to man's standards vs. Gods
- We assume that more "knowledge" will change us, if that were true the Pharisees would have been in great shape
- We each have footholds by which the principalities and powers distract us from a right heart focus
- We live a "transferred life" believing it's a "transformed life"
- Pilgrim pitfalls & traps - gates of opportunity for growth
- To whose voice do I listen - stop the noise & listen
- Doubt & fear - not believing the impossible
- too little/lacking faith
- not entrusting Him or His plan
- Whose glory - it's really about me not about His Kingdom
- Not seeking His refuge & protection
- Pride - who is great
- thinking: I can do it with some of Your help
- Footholds - personal vulnerabilities
- heart is unprotected
- justify sin in my life - old habits and patterns
- Without dependence on Him
- Not praying, not worshipping Him
- ineffective prayer
- Not expecting radical change
- not looking for or expecting soul surgery
- should be responding counter-culturally vs. the same old way
- Doing my will, not His
- not desiring what the Spirit desires
- not joining Him in what He is doing
- Blindness to my sin, not teachable
- Unwilling to do what He says now with urgency
- Downplay or minimize His message
