Exposition
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
within me – David had acknowledged his sin and with a
repentant heart, he asked that he be cleansed because his sin had soiled his
heart. The Almighty who created man is the only One who can exchange the dirty
heart and replace it with a clean one. The cleansing agent is the blood of
Jesus Christ which He shed on the cross for the sins of the world.
David
asked for a right spirit which would be firm and would not yield to temptation.
He wanted to go back to where he was before he sinned. This was fine, but I
encourage you to ask for a clean heart for another reason today.
The person
that wants to yield to God’s request for intercessors requires a clean heart.
Intercession requires giving yourself up for God. It is a complete denial of
self. It is total surrender to God. Your prayer for a clean heart is because
you want the Holy Spirit to take over your life.
You can
ask that anything that will impede your prayer life be removed by your Maker. Ask
God to help you deal with any issues that can stop you praying for anyone. The
intercessor is humble; ask God to take away completely every form of pride
because God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.
Many of us
struggle with unforgiveness and this becomes an impediment to prayer. Some go
to the extent of saying I can forgive but I will not forget so as not to be
hurt again. The person on God’s assignment will be ready to pray for anyone as
directed by the Holy Spirit.
You can do
it. Make that decision today.
Prayer
Let there be an exchange today. Give me a new heart that will be
yielded to you completely in Jesus name. I give my consent for spiritual
surgery. Let there be complete separation between me and everything that will
not allow me to serve you in prayer. Release an abundance of grace over me now
in Jesus name. Amen
