Podcasts about pure in heart

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 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.  Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.

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.

In this episode, we continue our study on the Sermon on the Mount and how those who are merciful and pure in heart are blessed. We will discuss: What it means to be merciful The three realms of mercy Mercy versus apathy Gauging purity Dangers of impurity biblequestions.org

In this powerful episode of Let's Talk, Pastor Roderick Webster dives deep into one of Jesus' most profound teachings:“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” — Matthew 5.8But what does it really mean to be pure in heart in a world filled with temptation, distraction, and brokenness? And how can we experience consistent happiness — not just on Sundays, but every day?Join Pastor Webster as he unpacks: The true Biblical meaning of a “pure heart” Why happiness and holiness go hand-in-hand How sin begins in the heart before it shows in behavior Practical examples of how unclean thoughts corrupt our lives What David, Solomon, and Jesus all taught about heart purity

The message by one of Liberty's Elders looks at what is important to God, what it means to see God and what we can do to develop a heart that is pure.

Matthew 5:1–12 (NIV) 1 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. He 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.

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/

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God!" Matthew 5:8What a staggering promise! The highest blessing ever spoken to man: They shall see God! This is no mere poetic figure--it is the very hope of Heaven, the unveiled beholding of God in all His holiness, beauty, and glory! Yet this privilege is not granted to the mighty, the wise, or the religious--but only to the pure in heart.What does it mean to be "pure in heart"? It does not mean sinless perfection in this life, but rather a heart that has been cleansed by grace, and now sincerely longs for holiness. It is a heart that is no longer fixed on worldly trifles, and no longer pursuing sinful pleasures--but made single in its desire for God. It is a heart purified by the sin-atoning death of Christ, and by the sanctifying work of the Spirit. Such heart purity is not man-made, but it is God-wrought--born in regeneration and nurtured in sanctification.While in this world of sin and temptation, the true Christian grieves over his remaining faults and sins. He longs for the day of death, when his sins and spots will be gone forever, and he will be as pure as the freshly fallen snow. He longs for the day when he will see Jesus, and be like Him. Having this wondrous hope, he strives to be as pure as Jesus."They shall see God!" Not through a veil, not dimly or distantly--but clearly, directly, and eternally. To see God is to be forever satisfied, forever joyful, forever changed into the likeness of His blessed Son. In that moment . . . all sin will be gone, all sorrow swallowed up, and all longings for perfect holiness fulfilled. The Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their Shepherd, and God Him

It is the pure in heart that see God! Join Pastor Cameron as he looks at this special blessing that holiness brings. 

On today's podcast, Pastor Cameron reminds us that purity is a key to a blessed life. Through faith, the Lord gives us a clean heart that leads to His joy and favor! 

In this week's message, Pastor JP Wilson takes us into one of the most powerful and personal teachings of Jesus:“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)What does it really mean to be pure in heart? And how do we stay that way in a world that constantly pulls our attention and tests our motives?This message explores how purity isn't about being perfect, it's about being whole, honest, and undivided before God. Pastor JP shows how a pure heart leads to clarity, deeper intimacy with God, and peace that the world can't offer.This is a message that will challenge you and encourage you—especially if you've been longing to hear God more clearly or feel like your heart's been divided.

Pastor Kevin WarnerMatthew 5:8“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

In this week's message we dive deep into the Bible to see how we can obtain a pure heart. The Word of God tells us that those who have a pure heart will see God! We pray that this episode encourages you in your walk with God.

Scripture Reading from Matthue 5:1-12Sermon by Sam Haist

Pastor Boyd Bettis preaches on Matthew 5:8. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

MADE TO BE In Matthew chapter 5,  Jesus, drawing a large crowd, ascended a mountainside and delivered what is widely regarded as the greatest sermon of all time. He began with eight blessings, known as the Beatitudes. In our series, we'll explore these ‘blessed attitudes,' discover their meaning, and learn how they form the foundation of a harmonious life with God's design. #beatitudes #sermonseries Support the show

When we have pure hearts, we can see truth, life and love. It is God's desire that our choices are for the goodness of others, to store up love that will flow like a river from our lips, refreshing our families, our friends and whomever we meet. All are thirsty. Everyone needs to be loved, to belong, to know they matter – to someone. God, would you open our hearts to love as You do?Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America. Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more about our retreats, and online courses.

Welcome back to another episode of Voices of Syriac Faith! This week, we are excited to welcome Abouna Michael Sorial from our sister Coptic Orthodox Church.

Preacher: Andy BauerDate: 3/16/25Series: The Good LifeKey Scriptures: Matthew 5:1–12 (CSB)1 When he saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2 Then he began to teach them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the humble, 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 sons of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. 11 “You are blessed when they insult you and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of me. 12 Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven.

How can we protect our relationships not only physically but spiritually as well?

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.
