Our transformation cannot happen without the Holy Spirit. By the powerful workings of the Holy Spirit in your inner person, you can have, as God said to Ezekiel, “A new heart and a new spirit.” God wants no less than a real personal transformation for you. He has gone to great lengths by sending His Son and His Spirit. He is persistent in His pursuit of our whole hearted allegiance. The result is truly abundant life. He wants to give you His best! Himself!
“Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.” (Ezekiel 36:26-27).
