You may have heard the expression, garbage in, garbage out. But it's far more likely that when garbage comes in, it stays in. You know, God's Word has a lot to say about purity. But it's not just our actions that need to be pure. It's our motives, our thoughts, our hearts, which is why we should be careful what we put in our minds. “Blessed are the pure in heart,” says Jesus, “for they shall see God.” Ron dives into this Beatitude today as he continues his series, “Your Happy Place: Living The Beatitudes of Jesus.”

Psalm 73 ESV God Is My Strength and Portion ForeverA Psalm of Asaph.73 Truly God is good to Israel,    to those who are pure in heart.2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,    my steps had nearly slipped.3 For I was envious of the arrogant    when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.4 For they have no pangs until death;    their bodies are fat and sleek.5 They are not in trouble as others are;    they are not stricken like the rest of mankind.6 Therefore pride is their necklace;    violence covers them as a garment.7 Their eyes swell out through fatness;    their hearts overflow with follies.8 They scoff and speak with malice;    loftily they threaten oppression.9 They set their mouths against the heavens,    and their tongue struts through the earth.10 Therefore his people turn back to them,    and find no fault in them.11 And they say, “How can God know?    Is there knowledge in the Most High?”12 Behold, these are the wicked;    always at ease, they increase in riches.13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean    and washed my hands in innocence.14 For all the day long I have been stricken    and rebuked every morning.15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”    I would have betrayed the generation of your children.16 But when I thought how to understand this,    it seemed to me a wearisome task,17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;    then I discerned their end.18 Truly you set them in slippery places;    you make them fall to ruin.19 How they are destroyed in a moment,    swept away utterly by terrors!20 Like a dream when one awakes,    O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.21 When my soul was embittered,    when I was pricked in heart,22 I was brutish and ignorant;    I was like a beast toward you.23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;    you hold my right hand.24 You guide me with your counsel,    and afterward you will receive me to glory.25 Whom have I in heaven but you?    And there is nothing on earth that 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 For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;    you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.28 But for me it is good to be near God;    I have made the Lord God my refuge,    that I may tell of all your works.For more information about Redeemer Church Lubbock visit our website at redeemerlubbock.org.

Jesus said the pure in heart will see God, but a clear view of Him starts with a clean heart. We learn that what's in the cup matters more than how it's served.

Jesus blesses the pure in heart and the peacemakers, revealing two powerful marks of Kingdom living. A pure heart isn’t about perfection, but about sincere devotion and undivided loyalty to God — with that comes the promise of seeing Him more clearly. Peacemakers, not just peace-lovers, actively work to bring reconciliation in a divided world and are honored as children of God. These verses remind us that both inner purity and outward peace reflect the character of our Father and the values of His Kingdom. Visit us online at: RenewalChurch.net

What if you could stop struggling to feel “spiritual enough” and start experiencing God through simple, honest connection? In this transformative session on Matthew 5:8—“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”—Brian Durfee unpacks Jesus's radical redefinition of spiritual blessing and shows how purity of heart is rooted not in perfection, but in relationship.When Jesus spoke the Beatitudes, He wasn't addressing the religious elite. He was speaking to the common, overlooked people of Galilee—those who had been dismissed as spiritually unqualified. By calling them blessed, Jesus shattered conventional religious thinking. He revealed that God's favor isn't reserved for those with external success or spiritual credentials, but for those whose hearts are open and aligned with Him.The key revelation in this teaching is liberating: purity is not something we achieve by religious effort, but something we receive through relational abiding. Drawing from Jesus's words in John 15 about the vine and the branches, Brian reminds us that branches don't struggle to produce fruit—they simply stay connected to the source. In the same way, “we become pure by staying close, not by trying harder.”This insight changes how we view spiritual disciplines. Reading Scripture becomes less about fulfilling a checklist and more about encountering God in His Word. Prayer becomes less formal and more honest—an ongoing conversation with the One who already knows what's in our hearts. Even small prayers like “God, give me the want to”—prayed in moments of dryness—can spark real transformation and renew our desire for His presence.This session invites you to stop pretending with God and start being present with Him. It's in those real, unguarded moments that we begin to see Him more clearly. As Brother Lawrence observed in Practicing the Presence of God, acknowledging Christ's presence in the ordinary moments of life can reshape our entire spiritual experience.Through this class, you'll discover that a purified heart comes not from striving, but from abiding—and that the promise of “seeing God” is not only about eternity but about recognizing His nearness in the present. The door to experiencing Him is not locked by your past or your performance; it is opened through your presence with Him.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

We proclaim the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ: GOD in his infinite mercy, forgives all sins, and through our baptism in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, we are given a rebirth into new life, free from the burden of all sin. ALLELUIA With faithfulness we respond to the good news: We acknowledge Christ as our saviour and accept with gratitude, that we are forgiven for all wrong doings, past and present. To honour the gift of forgiveness, we release our burden of guilt and rise up to live in the glory of God forever more. Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Blessed be God forever. Let us Pray.   1c                                                              We will proclaim the name of the Lord Ascribe greatness to our God   Glory to God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit:  as in the beginning, so now, and for ever. Amen.     2 The Opening Canticle, God who is rich in mercy out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses. made us alive together with Christ, and raised us up with him: and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus that he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace:  in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2.4-7   3 The Opening Prayer The night has passed and the day lies open before us;  let us pray with one heart and mind.    Silence may be kept. As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,  so may the light of your presence, O God,  set our hearts on fire with love for you;  now and for ever.  Amen.   4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each. Psalm     5 At the end of the (last) pause there may follow Lord, our God, our Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier: we ask you to cleanse us from all hypocrisy, to unite us to our fellow men and women by the bonds of peace and love, and to confirm us in holiness; now and for ever.  Amen.      6 One or two Readings from the Bible as appointed.   The Old Testament Reading today is… 2 Samuel 11. 1-21 1In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab with his officers and all Israel with him; they ravaged the Ammonites, and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. 2It happened, late one afternoon, when David rose from his couch and was walking about on the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; the woman was very beautiful. 3David sent someone to inquire about the woman. It was reported, “This is Bathsheba daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 4So David sent messengers to get her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she was purifying herself after her period.) Then she returned to her house. 5The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.” 6So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab and the people fared, and how the war was going. 8Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house, and wash your feet.” Uriah went out of the king's house, and there followed him a present from the king. 9But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “You have just come from a journey. Why did you not go down to your house?” 11Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah remain in booths; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field; shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing.” 12Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day. On the next day, 13David invited him to eat and drink in his presence and made him drunk; and in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house. David Has Uriah Killed 14In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, so that he may be struck down and die.” 16As Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant warriors. 17The men of the city came out and fought with Joab; and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite was killed as well. 18Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting; 19and he instructed the messenger, “When you have finished telling the king all the news about the fighting, 20then, if the king's anger rises, and if he says to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21Who killed Abimelech son of Jerubbaal? Did not a woman throw an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead too.' ”   Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. The New Testament Reading today is… John 8. 48-59 48The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” 49Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it and he is the judge. 51Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.” 52The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.' 53Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Who do you claim to be?” 54Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, he of whom you say, ‘He is our God,' 55though you do not know him. But I know him; if I would say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him and I keep his word. 56Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; he saw it and was glad.” 57Then the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” 58Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.” 59So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple. Hear the message of Christ. Thanks be to God.   7 The Canticle, A Song of the Blessed 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 what is right:  for they shall be satisfied.  Blessed are the merciful:  for mercy shall be shown to them.  Blessed are the pure in heart:  for they shall see God.  Blessed are the peacemakers:  for they shall be called the children of God.  Blessed are those who are persecuted  for righteousness' sake:  for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  Matthew 5.3–10      8 The belief and principle is said I believe in God, creator of heaven and earth, whose love and merciful forgiveness endures everlasting. I believe in Christ the saviour, whose example of love and compassion, taught us a restored way to live, in collaborative unity with all people. I believe in the Holy Spirit, whose divine guidance brings us together to be one with the Holy Trinity.     9 The Prayers Lord have mercy.  Christ have mercy.  God have mercy.   10 The Lord's Prayer Our Father in heaven,  hallowed be your name,  your kingdom come,  your will be done,  on earth as in heaven.  Give us today our daily bread.  Forgive us our sins  as we forgive those who sin against us.  Save us from the time of trial  and deliver us from evil.  For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours  now and for ever. Amen.      Prayer of the Week   Following the seventh Sunday after Pentecost Provident Father, With the prayer your Son taught us always on our lips, we ask, we seek, we knock at your door: Help us so to seek that we may truly find, So to ask that we may joyfully receive, And so to knock that the door of mercy may be opened for us Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen       11 Intercessions and Thanksgivings may be made according to local custom and need. Let us pray   God, how great your healing hand that reaches out to those in need, how great your love for all your people. We ask you to bestow your healing on all people who are combating the illness of cancer. We thank you for your healing kindness for all your people. Humbly we Pray – LORD hear our prayer   Lord, we have been socially inept and continue to foster broken communities of lack, yet we remain in this state without taking necessary steps to change for the better. We ask you this day to stay with us, to help us and to guide us. We know we can do better, and we are asking you to be our guide, to guide the path you expect us to walk. Humbly, we Pray – LORD hear our prayer   Lord, we thank you for your mercy towards us even though we continue to sin. Graduate us to live sinless lives, enabling our relationship with you to become one of trust and love. We thank you for your great teachings and want only to acknowledge your name as our saviour. Humbly, we Pray – LORD hear our prayer     God, we ask your blessing for those listed on the Anglican cycle of prayer:   The Diocese of Nicaragua – The Anglican church in central America The Parish of Burleigh Heads St Francis College Formation students All people of the Prison and Hospital ministry chaplaincy teams All people joining in this prayer offering Humbly, we Pray – LORD hear our prayer     12 The Morning Collect Lord and heavenly father, you have brought us safely to this new day: Keep us by your mighty power, protect us from sin, guard us from every kind of danger, and in all we do this day direct us in the fulfilling of your purpose, Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.    13 The Lord be with you. And also with you.  Let us praise the Lord.  Thanks be to God.    May the Lord bless us and keep us; the Lord make his face to shine upon us and be gracious to us; the Lord lift up his countenance upon us and give us peace.  Amen.

These seven were presented to the apostles, who prayed for them as they laid their hands on them. So God's message continued to spread. The number of believers greatly increased in Jerusalem, and many of the Jewish priests were converted, too. Acts 6:5-7 NLT#1 Pain and Persecution become Passion and Compassion when given to God.Acts 6:8-11 ESV The choice to disregard the obvious leads to deception and destruction. Acts 7:51-60 NLTPain and persecution fuel Godly passion and compassion when our lives and journeys are surrendered to Him.Acts 8:4-6 NLT#2 Godly purity is key to accessing Godly power A man named Simon had previously practiced sorcery in that city and amazed the Samaritan people, while claiming to be somebody great. They all paid attention to him, from the least of them to the greatest, and they said, “This man is called the Great Power of God.” They were attentive to him because he had amazed them with his sorceries for a long time. But when they believed Philip, as he proclaimed the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. Even Simon himself believed. And after he was baptized. Acts 8:9-13 NLTThis worlds superficial provisions pale in comparison to the supernatural power found in the purposes and plans of God.When Simon saw that the Spirit was given when the apostles laid their hands on people, he offered them money to buy this power. “Let me have this power, too,” he exclaimed, “so that when I lay my hands on people, they will receive the Holy Spirit!” But Peter replied, “May your money be destroyed with you for thinking God's gift can be bought! You can have no part in this, for your heart is not right with God. Repent of your wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive your evil thoughts, for I can see that you are full of bitter jealousy and are held captive by sin.” “Pray to the Lord for me,” Simon exclaimed, “that these terrible things you've said won't happen to me!” Acts 8:18-24 NLTThe pure in heart have access to a power the prideful will never see, no matter how great their gifts or glory. As for Philip, an angel of the Lord said to him, “Go south down the desert road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza.” Acts 8:26 NLT#3 The Prophetic empowers ImpactSo he started out, and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, the queen of Ethiopia. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah. - The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the carriage.” Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” The man replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him. The passage of Scripture he had been reading was this: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter. And as a lamb is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth. He was humiliated and received no justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.” The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, was the prophet talking about himself or someone else?” Acts 8:27-34 NLT Prophetic impact requires eyes that are open and a heart that is His.So beginning with this same Scripture, Philip told him the Good News about Jesus. As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look! There's some water! Why can't I be baptized?” He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again but went on his way rejoicing. Meanwhile, Philip found himself farther north at the town of Azotus. He preached the Good News there and in every town along the way until he came to Caesarea. Acts 8:35-40 NLTHumble obedience redeems the pain, unlocks God's power, and positions the willing for wisdom and impact. -------------------------------------------------Download the 828 Church app!To view our latest e-newsletter, the Midweek Momentum, and subscribe to our weekly updates, go here! https://linktr.ee/828church

As they rode along, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look! There's some water! Why can't I be baptized?” He ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again but went on his way rejoicing. Meanwhile, Philip found himself farther north at the town of Azotus. He preached the Good News there and in every town along the way until he came to Caesarea.

Truly God is good to Israel,     to those who are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,     my steps had nearly slipped. 3 For I was envious of the arrogant     when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.4 For they have no pangs until death;     their bodies are fat and sleek. 5 They are not in trouble as others are;     they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. 6 Therefore pride is their necklace;     violence covers them as a garment. 7 Their eyes swell out through fatness;     their hearts overflow with follies. 8 They scoff and speak with malice;     loftily they threaten oppression. 9 They set their mouths against the heavens,     and their tongue struts through the earth. 10 Therefore his people turn back to them,     and find no fault in them.  11 And they say, “How can God know?     Is there knowledge in the Most High?” 12 Behold, these are the wicked;     always at ease, they increase in riches. 13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean     and washed my hands in innocence. 14 For all the day long I have been stricken     and rebuked every morning. 15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”     I would have betrayed the generation of your children.16 But when I thought how to understand this,     it seemed to me a wearisome task, 17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;     then I discerned their end.18 Truly you set them in slippery places;     you make them fall to ruin. 19 How they are destroyed in a moment,     swept away utterly by terrors! 20 Like a dream when one awakes,     O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms. 21 When my soul was embittered,     when I was pricked in heart, 22 I was brutish and ignorant;     I was like a beast toward you.23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;     you hold my right hand. 24 You guide me with your counsel,     and afterward you will receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but you?     And there is nothing on earth that 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 For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;     you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you. 28 But for me it is good to be near God;     I have made the Lord God my refuge,     that I may tell of all your works.1.     Do you think of yourself as an envious person?

Morally Pure

Guiding Question What's the best way to be morally pure in a world that constantly pulls us the other way? Summary Robert Lewis challenges believers to confront the ever-present pull of sin, not by merely resisting it, but by replacing it—through a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. The message opens with a stark reality: sin is not just around us; it's in us. Using both humor and Scripture, Lewis exposes the deceptive nature of sin and the limitations of simply trying to “fight” it. Drawing from Titus 2:11–14, a passage used as an early church creed, Lewis explains how Jesus not only brings salvation but also purifies lives. The key to moral purity, he argues, is not just in putting off sin but in actively pursuing Jesus. Lewis critiques the legalistic “fight sin” approach common in past generations and offers instead the “freedom-through-pursuit” model—developing new desires by loving and following Christ. He ends with practical applications: one, seek forgiveness through Jesus immediately, and two, commit to a long-term path of spiritual growth through Scripture and obedience. That, he says, is how your story ends in freedom. Outline: Opening Insight – “Sin is not my friend”—but why does it stay so close? Two Reasons Sin Persists – It's deceptive and it's part of our nature. A Missed Target – Illustrating sin as “missing the mark” (harmatia). Titus 2:11–14 – Jesus came to save and purify a people for Himself. What We're Called to Deny and Embrace – Ungodliness, worldly passions vs. self-control, uprightness, and godliness. Wrong Approach to Moral Purity – Fighting sin head-on doesn't work; it wears us out and leaves us vulnerable. Right Approach to Moral Purity – Pursuing Jesus transforms desires, replacing sin's hold with superior joy. Results of Pursuing Jesus – Freedom, joy, influence, and the life we've always longed for. Two Applications – Seek forgiveness now; commit to obeying God's Word as the path to freedom. Key Takeaways Sin is deceptive and internal—it disguises itself as a better way and lives within us. Moral purity cannot be sustained by sheer willpower or prohibition. Jesus came not only to save but to purify His people for good works. Pursuing Christ is the only effective path to lasting moral purity. Right living follows right focus: when Jesus becomes our joy, sin loses its pull. The goal isn't just to be "clean"—it's to live freely, purposefully, and fully through a relationship with Christ. Scriptural References Isaiah 53:6 – “All we like sheep have gone astray…” Romans 7:15–24 – Paul's struggle with the evil within. Titus 2:11–14 – Jesus came to save and purify a people zealous for good deeds. Luke 11:24–26 – A house swept clean but empty is still vulnerable. Matthew 5:8 – “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Romans 6:23 – “The wages of sin is death…” 1 Timothy 4:12 – Be an example in purity and conduct. John 10:10 – “I came that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.” 1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, He is faithful…to forgive…” Recorded 9/5/04

✣ Unlock God Mode Course: unlockgodmode.org  Join this 30-day life-changing program today. ✣ Free Neville Goddard PDF: manifestwithneville.com✣ God Mode 2025 Retreat: godmoderetreats.com----------------------In this lecture, Neville Goddard explores the spiritual purification process that every individual undergoes on the path to self-realization and divine awakening. He focuses on the Beatitude:“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)This is not a metaphorical statement—it is a literal spiritual experience. To see God is to become God, for man inevitably becomes what he beholds. However, before this vision is granted, a purification must take place.Neville explains that purification is not something man can achieve on his own. Instead, God initiates and orchestrates the entire process, leading individuals into experiences that will dissolve their illusions, false beliefs, and prejudices. Every obstacle, every hardship, and every struggle in life serves to break down mental walls and unveil the truth.The Process of PurificationThe journey to purity of heart involves the dismantling of deep-seated delusions—the false assumptions that shape one's perception of the world. Neville emphasizes that these beliefs are like buildings that must be torn down. As it is written in Mark 13:2:“Not one stone will be left standing upon another that will not be thrown down.”These "buildings" represent false identities, prejudices, and limitations that keep man from recognizing his divine nature. But as each false belief crumbles, God unveils Himself.Neville references William Blake, who wrote:"What seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful consequences to those to whom it seems to be... but Divine Mercy steps beyond and redeems man in the body of Jesus."This means that life reflects back to us our own assumptions and beliefs, making them appear real. Yet, through divine grace, we are redeemed from these false perceptions and awakened to truth.Seeing God and Becoming One with HimThe ultimate purpose of purification is to remove all veils that separate man from his true identity. Neville explains that, at a certain stage of spiritual awakening, God lifts the veil, and man sees Him.This unveiling is not the end but an ever-expanding revelation. As Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 3:18:“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into His likeness from one degree of glory to another.”This transformation is gradual and infinite—as man purifies his heart, he beholds God more clearly, and in doing so, he becomes what he sees.How to Apply This UnderstandingNeville urges his audience to recognize that all life experiences serve a higher purpose:Every difficulty is a divine tool for transformation.What seems to be real is only a reflection of one's own assumptions—change the assumption, and reality changes.Dare to assume the highest and noblest concept of yourself, for what seems to be, is—to those to whom it seems to be.Trust that divine mercy is always at work, leading each person toward awakening, no matter how impossible it may seem.Final Revelation: Man's True DestinyNeville concludes by affirming that everyone will ultimately be redeemed and unveiled as God. The process of life, with all its seeming struggles and contradictions, is actually God's plan for man's awakening. The veil will be lifted, and every individual will recognize their divine nature.This is the great mystery—the journey from illusion to truth, from separation to oneness, from man to God. ***Download the free Neville Goddard PDF Guide at manifestwithneville.com - Discover the transformative power of Neville Goddard's wisdom with this FREE 60-page guide on his 12 timeless principles of manifestation and reality creation.★ Follow the podcast for daily lectures from the mystic Neville Goddard ★FREE RESOURCES:• Join the FREE Neville Goddard newsletter• Join the FREE Telegram Channel• Feeling is the Secret • Full Audiobook* * *The James Xander Trip Podcast:• Listen on Spotify• Listen on Apple Podcasts• Listen on YouTubeDIVE DEEPER:• The Unlock God Mode Course• The Infinite Wealth Guided Meditation* * *ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic.

✣ Free Neville Goddard PDF: manifestwithneville.com✣ God Mode 2025 Retreat: https://godmoderetreats.com✣ God Mode Course: https://unlockgodmode.org----------------------In this lecture, The Pure in Heart, Neville explores the true meaning of the sixth Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” He clarifies that purity of heart is not about moral or sexual purity but about being free from deceit, particularly deception for personal gain. The pure in heart are those who are incapable of guile, who never manipulate, lie, or exploit others to serve their own interests.Neville explains that life is a process of refining the soul, symbolized as gold, through the furnaces of experience. These trials are meant to burn away all deception until what remains is pure gold—represented by David, the biblical symbol of a heart perfectly aligned with God. When a person reaches this state, they are spiritually prepared to ascend and stand in God's presence. At that moment, they receive the divine imprint and awaken to their true identity as God.He emphasizes that this process is inevitable for everyone. No one escapes the trials, and all will eventually be purified. The ultimate test is whether, even in moments of extreme hardship, one remains honest and guileless rather than seeking advantage at another's expense. When this purity is achieved, the individual is revealed as Jesse—the "I AM"—and recognizes their divine nature.Key Takeaways for Application:Purity of Heart Means Freedom from Deception – Being pure in heart does not mean moral perfection but a total absence of guile. Never deceive others for personal gain.Life's Trials Are Refining You – Every hardship is a furnace designed to burn away deceit and refine your soul into pure gold, preparing you for divine awakening.The Key to Seeing God Is Guilelessness – Only those who are completely honest in their intentions and incapable of manipulation can stand in God's presence and receive divine revelation.David Represents the Purified Soul – The biblical David is symbolic of the perfected heart, and once this purity is achieved, the divine imprint is made upon you.God's Presence Is Within You – The moment you become pure in heart, you will experience the presence of God and awaken to the realization that you are one with Him.No One Fails This Journey – Regardless of where you are in life, you are being shaped and tested until you reach purity. Everyone will ultimately pass through this process and awaken.Your “I AM” is Jesse, the Source of Your Being – The realization of your divine nature comes when you understand that Jesse (I AM) is the father of David (your purified soul), completing your transformation into God.Remain Honest Even in Hardship – No matter how difficult life becomes, resist the temptation to deceive others for survival or gain. Holding to integrity is the final test before awakening.By applying these principles, you align yourself with the spiritual process that leads to divine realization and the fulfillment of the Beatitude: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” ***Download the free Neville Goddard PDF Guide at manifestwithneville.com - Discover the transformative power of Neville Goddard's wisdom with this FREE 60-page guide on his 12 timeless principles of manifestation and reality creation.★ Follow the podcast for daily lectures from the mystic Neville Goddard ★FREE RESOURCES:• Join the FREE Neville Goddard newsletter• Join the FREE Telegram Channel• Feeling is the Secret • Full Audiobook* * *The James Xander Trip Podcast:• Listen on Spotify• Listen on Apple Podcasts• Listen on YouTubeDIVE DEEPER:• The Unlock God Mode Course• The Infinite Wealth Guided Meditation* * *ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic.

Happy are you anytime you act like a citizen of heaven. Again, Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount is not about life after death, but the life before life after death. You should feel happy when you desire more of God, when you show mercy, when you seek purity of heart. Why? Because it means you are being led by God. it is God helping you love God.
