Part 9 A Vision~ Pure in our prayers * God's want Prue hearts, clean hands*God wants our hearts not our times, not doing but being ~ To be holy as He is holy "Therefore, preparing your minds for action,[a] and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy." 1 peter 13-16" without holiness can't see the Lord" ( I don't know what verse that is?)"Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the LORD your God."Lev 20:7 "They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. For they offer the LORD's food offerings, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy." Lev21:6 "Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness,awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?" Ex 15:11 "They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God. For they offer the LORD's food offerings, the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy. "Lev 21:44 * Prayers not please man, but God* What about God desire, and a honest heart or fake?* are to make people feel good, or being to a deeper understanding of who God is?* sin Is huge in God's eyes " pleasing man, but are to please God" ~ calling people together "Consecrate a fast;call a solemn assembly.Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD your God,and cry out to the LORD. Alas for the day!For the day of the LORD is near,and as destruction from the Almighty it comes."Joel 1:14-15 "Seek the LORD while he may be found;call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way,and the unrighteous man his thoughts let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.For as the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isa 55:6-9 True and False Fasting"Cry aloud; do not hold back;lift up your voice like a trumpet;declare to my people their transgression,to the house of Jacob their sins. Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways,as if they were a nation that did righteousnessand did not forsake the judgment of their God;they ask of me righteous judgments;they delight to draw near to God. 'Why have we fasted, and you see it not? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?'Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure,and oppress all your workers."Isa 58:1-3 "Is such the fast that I choose,a day for a person to humble himself?Is it to bow down his head like a reed,and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?Will you call this a fast,and a day acceptable to the LORD? Is not this the fast that I choose:to loose the bonds of wickedness,to undo the straps of the yoke,to let the oppressed[a] go free,and to break every yoke?" Isa 58:5-6 * man wayswe want Gods ways"I hate, I despise your feasts,and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies" Amos 5:21 "Hate evil, and love good,and establish justice in the gate it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord:In all the squares there shall be wailing,and in all the streets they shall say, 'Alas! Alas!'They shall call the farmers to mourning and to wailing those who are skilled in lamentation,"AMos 5:15-16 "If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath,from doing your pleasure on my holy day,and call the Sabbath a delightand the holy day of the LORD honorable;if you honor it, not going your own ways,or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly;then you shall take delight in the LORD,and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken." Isa 58:13-14 *We don’t want false unity, which in when we over look sin* false unity, when truth is left out* honest and real hearts, People know him* shouldn't there be prayer meeting are full of tears?not always feeling good, we are not to please peopel but God?
