God is always taking humanity back to the issue of the heart.

Pastor Ken has had a vision of the heart being like a huge dam with sluice gates that we can open as we get healed to allow Gods grace to flow through.  So often though we don’t know how to, or don’t want to get healed and so the sluice gates remain shut, and Gods grace only trickles from our lives… Peter was just like us, and God kept gently working on him.  Peter was certain that he needn’t deal with his heart until the vision when God said ‘kill and eat’… God changed his religious heart that day and consequently he moved from living according to rules and laws to grace.  Suddenly the proud Peter, apostle to the Jews became humble Peter telling Cornelius to ‘get up I’m just a man like you’… We need to move every day from the justice level to the grace level.  We have to ask ourselves are we satisfied with the great grace that’s upon our lives, or do we need to deal with the issues of our hearts?  It is a life’s work, a daily searching and healing and forgiving.  The day that you stop is the day that pride enters your heart. 

Why not deal with this issue?  Why let it remain in your heart?  Why stop the grace of God flowing through you to others?  Because if you deal with it you will be like Peter and will be released to go to Cornelius and see whole groups of people saved….

Start today, write a list of those you need to forgive and work through it…
