Destiny Christian Center June 15, 2025 Pure in Heart, Pastor Lawrence Neisent destinyokc.com
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” -Matthew 5:8This past weekend's message from Pastor Kyle Doan, "Get Clean," was a powerful reminder that purity isn't about perfect behavior—it's about a heart that believes God is with you. Temptation doesn't define you-- the presence of God does! Check it out today!
Join us each week as Dr. Justin Dancer brings the word of God to life and applies it to our lives.
Blessed are the Pure in Heart Receiving a transformed heart gives us the ability to SEE God as He is
The sermon on the mount is probably one of the best known and most recognisable teachings of Jesus. It has captured the hearts and imagination of believers over many centuries. It has inspired writings and has shaped western culture. Its influence and significance can not be over stated. As “door keeper” to this great body of teaching we find, what is commonly know as “The Beatitudes”. Sinclair Furgeson says that “The sermon on the mount does not begin with what we are to do as Christians. In a sense it doesn't even begin with telling us what we are to be as Christians. It begins by telling us the blessedness of what we are as Christians.” In the Christian life being is the foundation for doing. Not the other way around. The beatitudes therefore sets the tone, orientates the heart and primes the mind for the profound truths to follow.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” — Matthew 5:8In Week 23 of the Rebel Manifesto series, Pastor Elle unpacks the meaning behind having a pure heart and how that purity leads to deeper connection with God.Message Highlights:What does “pure in heart” mean?The Greek word katharos means clean, unmixed, and undivided. Purity is not about perfection—it's about motive, surrender, and alignment with God's will.Three Marks of a Pure Heart:Clean – A pure heart isn't sinless, but it is surrendered. It's a heart that desires what God desires.Unmixed – A pure heart is not divided by idols or distractions. Like unpolluted water, it is clear and focused.Undivided – A heart in unity with itself and with God. A scattered heart leads to scattered actions. Purity brings alignment and purpose.Why Purity Matters:The heart is the wellspring of life. Everything we do flows from it.Purity is about inward motivation rather than outward performance.Repentance clears the pollution from our hearts and keeps us aligned with God.Conviction is a sign of God's closeness, not His anger.“They will see God”This promise is both present and future. We will one day see Him fully, but even now, we can see Him—in His Word, in His people, and in His presence. God wants to be seen more than we want to see Him.Scriptures referenced include Matthew 5:8, Luke 11:28, Psalm 24:3-4, Psalm 86:11, and Ezekiel 16:26.Key Reflection:"Will you surrender your heart to Me so that I can be the one to make you pure?" — GodSubscribe to follow the Rebel Manifesto series and stay connected to what God is speaking through Overflow Church.

Jesus tells his listeners that people with pure hearts will be... blessed. Or happy. Which is what most people are looking for. So the question we have to ask is, "How, then, do we get pure hearts?"

In this episode, we talk through the process behind our message on Matthew 5:8:“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”What does it actually mean to have a pure heart?Is it about perfection? Sincerity? Honesty?We explore stories from Luke 7, the weight of unspoken expectations, and how purity might not be about getting it all right—but living with an undivided heart.And we ask: what if seeing God is less about arrival, and more about awareness?

Today, more than ever before, we live in a herd environment, a human herd. Mass advertising in a great variety of media confronts us hour after hour, creating a herd mentality. We reflected on this as we read Paul's words this morning. He told the Thessalonians that we “give you in ourselves an example to imitate.” [2 Thess. 3 v.9]What do we imitate? What or who do we take as our examples in life? A parallel question – why do we see them as examples that we feel inclined to imitate?Bad examples abound today; there are also things which are not specifically bad but there is nothing really worthwhile in them. We need to ask ourselves, ‘ what is spiritually nutritious' in each thing we watch, read or do?. Paul writes, “you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it … that we might not be a burden to you.” [v.7,8]Are we pulling our weight, doing our share? We live in a drastically changed world to 3 months ago. The coronavirus has bought our lives to a stop. At this time we have opportunity to consider the course of our life. How is our worship to God? How are we caring for our vulnerable loved ones? Today more than ever we need to consider our attitude and what is the outworking of our faith. Soon we will be reading the letter to the Hebrews where it is stated, “Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith” [13 v.7] Believers then did not have the blessing of a Bible to read every day, but, if they had, they would surely have read it in nearly every hour that could be spared from their essential tasks.But today with so many Bibles available, what part does God's word take in daily life? One of the smallest “books” in the Bible is the 3rd letter of John. “Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.” [v.11] We cannot physically “see” God but we can – with “the eyes of (our) hearts” [Eph.1 v.18] – see God – using his “living word” which cleanses hearts. Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.” [Matt. 5 v.8]. All such will be sure to experience the wonderful time described in today's Isaiah reading, “the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” [11 v.9]
Divine Mother shared beautiful thoughts on love and how we can lift each other up in love, rather than wanting the other to change so we become happy. She referenced The Beatitudes from the book of Matthew, in particular: Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God, and Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God, and how those beliefs and actions can positively impact a love relationship. She used white daisies to teach several a-ha's about love, our magnificence, and God's love for each one of us. This meditation is a must-have for anyone wanting to be in a loving relationship with themselves and others.What if your guides for the guided meditation had no idea where Spirit was going to be leading them?

Psalm 73_A psalm of Asaph_All Time Notes1 Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.4 They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.5 They are free from common human burdens; they are not plagued by human ills.6 Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.7 From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil imaginations have no limits.8 They scoff, and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.10 Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance.11 They say, “How would God know? Does the Most High know anything?12 This is what the wicked are like—always free of care, they go on amassing wealth.13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and have washed my hands in innocence14 All day long I have been afflicted, and every morning brings new punishments.15 If I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children.16 When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply17 till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.18 Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.19 How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!20 They are like a dream when one awakes; when you arise, Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.21 When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you.23 Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.27 Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.28 But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
In this bible study, we cover Matthew 5.1-12 looking at the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are a list of 8 statements from Jesus, each with a promise. “Blessed” - happy, joyful, on the right path- is the person who follows each of Jesus' calls. This includes a call to be poor in spirit, to mourn our sinful state, to be meek, to thirst for righteousness, to show mercy, to be pure of heart, to be a peacemaker, and to rejoice in persecution.The Beatitudes are a progressive ladder, with each separate step being critical to understand before attempting the next step. Some of the steps are easier for some than others, and that's ok, but we need to take these one at a time, and do our best to follow Jesus' call. Keeping in mind that on our own, without the help of the Holy Spirit, we are not capable of any of them.

IN MY OWN LIFE:CHASING: WORDLY APPROVAL MATERIAL POSSESSIONS STATUS & NOTORIETY FLESHLY DESIRESSTRIVING: MAN OF INTEGRITY GODLINESS HONOR & SERVE GOD'S PEOPLE TO ADVANCE THE KINGDOM REFLECT JESUS 5-H GUIDE TO TRUE PURPOSEHABITSLet me study and stand for discipline, and all the ways of worship, out of love for Christ; and to show my thankfulness; to seek and know his will from love, to hold it in love, and daily to care for and keep this state of heart. “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” John 4:23 “Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,”. Hebrews 12:28 HEARTThou hast led me to place all my nature and happiness in oneness with Christ, in having heart and mind centered only on him, in being like him in communicating good to others; This is my heaven on earth.”But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,” Galatians 5:22 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13 HUSTLEHere, it is my duty to be as Christ in this world, to do what he would do, to live as he would live, to walk in love and meekness; then would he be known, then would I have peace in death. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:” 1 Peter 4:10 HOLY HUMILITY May I be equally convinced of the guilt and pollution of sin, feel my need of a prince and saviour, implore of him repentance as well as forgiveness, love holiness, and be pure in heart, have the mind of Jesus, and tread in his steps.“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 “Therefore, preparing your minds for action, 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 1:13-16HUMANITYHelp me to guide my affections with discretion, to owe no man anything, to be able to give to him that needeth, to feel it my duty and pleasure to be merciful and forgiving, to show to the world the likeness of Jesus. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32 “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:2

Author Sky Jethani writes, “The beginning of the Sermon on the Mount is not a to-do list; it is a good news list. Jesus is describing who has the most to gain by the arrival of His Kingdom. He is not prescribing what you must do to enter it.” What if Jesus was serious about transforming us into the kind of people who desire to receive his Upside-Down Kingdom? Perhaps what Jesus means by being blessed is far greater than we could ever imagine. 1 Samuel 16:7 (ESV)But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”Matthew 5:1-12 (ESV)Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Welcome to episode 198 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we walk through Psalm 73. Today, we will explore the psalmist's struggle with envying wicked people, focusing on: The principle—The Just God Is Good to the Godly (v. 1) The perception—Injustice Makes Godliness Seem Futile (vv. 2–14) The perspective—The Just God Judges Wicked People (vv. 15–26) The practice—Faith in the Just God Gives Stability in the Face of Injustice (vv. 27–28) Key takeaways: The traditional view that God's goodness is experienced in terms of prosperity, ease, and good health, and these belong truly to the “pure in heart” who maintain proper ritual observance and ethical behavior. The problem is that the psalmist has not experienced the expected fruit or consequences of maintaining purity of heart. Instead, the wicked seem to have it now and have it all. Those who reject God's ways appear to be rewarded rather than judged. The real heart of the matter—the righteous person feeling that it has been to no end to keep his heart pure. The truth is, both good and bad happen to everyone, but to the “pure heart” it seems that the wicked never experience the ailments the righteous suffer! Sometimes godliness appears futile when measured by worldly standards The ephemeral nature of the wicked's prosperity lacks permanence and substance when viewed from God's perspective. Even if the wicked possess everything earth offers, they have nothing compared to the treasure of knowing God. The goodness of God is not defined by the peace the wicked enjoy, nor is it denied by the affliction suffered by the pure in heart. Quotable: Am I serving God for His benefits or for Himself? Application: Identify your prosperity triggers. What specific situations most challenge your faith when you observe apparent injustice? Examine Prosperity Gospel Influences: Asaph's crisis partly stemmed from an assumed connection between righteousness and reward. Examine where prosperity gospel thinking might infiltrate your theology—the belief that faithfulness should always lead to visible blessing. Our assessment of reality changes not when circumstances change but when we see them from God's viewpoint. Nearness to God itself is good —not what God gives, but relationship with God Himself.

By Mike Phelps - Genuinely obeying God with pure intentions will transform us into His precious children.
I wonder what it would have been like to be one of those who greeted Jesus as He humbly came into Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Jesus was met with people laying down their cloaks and palm branches on the road. This journey would ultimately lead to His death and resurrection. It is because of His yes and love for us that we look forward to Good Friday and Easter this coming weekend.We might not have palm branches, but we honor God by welcoming Him into our lives, worshiping Him and giving Him our everything. As we turn to God and yield our hearts to Him, He is maturing and forming us in love. It is in this intimate space that He begins to refine us and rearrange our priorities. It is also the space where our wills bend toward God and away from other things - where we become quick to repent. His love is like a fire that we not only build our lives around, but it's the fire that burns in us and it shapes us, forms us, and matures us. As we remember all that Jesus has done, let us take time to step into the light and examine our own hearts. The Lord is purifying His church and with purity, comes clarity.Matthew 5:8, blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see GodLord, we thank you for your great love and we ask that you will purify us and clean out the clutter in our lives. Forgive us in any area that we have been partnering with something other than you. Today we lay down our lives and we invite your love into every space.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

Send us a textIn this episode, I share some thoughts on a topic dear to my heart. I am very excited about it because it is about the heart!All that I am learning about and experiencing relates to my current direction in life, which is an adventure in becoming a Certified Life Coach centered on the heart. I have never considered being a Life Coach before, yet a few months ago, I got a strong impression that this is what I need to do, so here I am, taking another step in my faith journey. Since starting this program, I've learned so much about heart connections, not only to my heart but also to others. This knowledge helps me recognize how to be more in tune with my feelings and intuition.In Baptist De Pape's book "The Power of the Heart," I read:"Our very first heartbeat begins spontaneously."…”The beating starts the moment that specialized heart cells form and multiply in the fetus. The cells beat even before the whole heart has formed. And they beat in unison." Knowing that the heart is the first organ to develop before any other parts or organs of the body is exciting. This tiny vital organ has a rhythmic beat that continues to grow, becoming a big part of our bodies' development.Neal Donald Walsch said: "The beat of your heart is the energy of life itself.”…"The secret of the human heart is that it contains not only your identity but God's, wrapped up in one." Many scriptures refer to a heart.One of them comes from the Bible in the book of Mathew 5:8Jesus said: "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." - Matthew 5:8What does it mean to Have a Pure Heart? Have you ever wondered about having a pure heart, dear listener? Here is an answer for me and perhaps for you: A pure heart is charity. It means I am forgiving, patient, and not critical or judgmental of others. It means I look at others with compassion and grace, the way Jesus looks at me. When I know I am in that space, of having a pure heart, I am willing to connect and understand others. Robin Johnson, my mentor and coaching instructor, wrote a book titled "The Heart of the Gospel," which beautifully describes the five states of the heart. Here are the descriptions of the five hearts:A Hardened Heart - is a heart of anger, hate, malice, pride, animosity, judgment, absence of love, and hurting others.A Broken Heart - A heart of grief, sadness, wounded, anguished, depressed, lonely, heavy and in pain.A Disconnected Heart - A heart of numbness, fear, emotionlessness, pain avoidance, apathy, and no passion for life.A Faint Heart - is weary from life's challenges, depleted, disheartened, hopeless, exhausted. A Pure Heart - is the Heart of Christ, a heart in a state of oneness: One with self, God, and humanity. It is a heart of charity, grace, forgiveness, compassion, joy, and acceptance. In closing of the message, I share one of my compositions, "In My Heart."www.kasiasmusic.comwww.kasiasfaithjourney.comhttps://www.facebook.com/kasiasfaithjourney/

Thankfully, elections have consequences…Episode Links:Before Zelenskyy got owned by Trump and Vance, he met with major warmongers in the US Government. Everyone in this room should be primaried or fired. They're what's wrong with America.JD Vance to Zelensky: "I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media." "You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for The United States Of America and the president who is trying to save your country."It's pretty clear ZELENSKY FORGOT who he was meeting with today. A little more gratitude is in order, and President Trump reminds him of it!Zelenskyy has lost Lindsey Graham, one of the most pro-Ukraine US Senators from either party: "Americans witnessing what they saw today would not want Zelenskyy to be their business partner including me. I've never been more proud of Trump for showing the American people and the world, you don't trifle that this man.Brett Baier shows Zelensky the clip of his best buddy, Lindsey Graham saying he won't do business with him after how he treated Trump. The dictator stutters as he yaps about refusing to step down. Yea, that clip roughed him up!Trump's greatest slap-down ever. Zelenskyy has no cards and yet he's acting irrationally, impudently and ungratefully.President @realDonaldTrump is the Commander-in-ChiefThe Ukrainian ambassador knew it was all over after President Zelenskyy tried disrespectful speaking over the President and VP in the Oval Office White House. That's it! America is back! America first! No more money for Ukraine. Return $350 billion American taxpayers' money!What does Zelenskyy need to do to restarts talks?” TRUMP: “He needs to say ‘I want to make peace!' No more Putin this, Putin that.”Matthew 5:1-12 (NIV)5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.The BeatitudesHe said:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
