Holy Spirit Heart Day 68
The Holy Spirit brings life in Christ. "Until the spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field."1 The metaphor of the heart being like a wilderness until the Holy Spirit renews it and it becomes like a fruitful field. This new life in Christ is like having a new heart. "A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take out of your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you."2
The prophet Ezekiel foresaw that Israel would be renewed and when the Holy Spirit comes upon the people their hearts would be renewed. "And it shall come to pass afterwards, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh, your sons and your daughters shall prophecy."3 This prophecy indicates not only the renewal of the Holy Spirit but also that in the new covenant times the new life in Christ would be given on a wide scale to the men and women of God.
"Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, And lighten with celestial fire.
Thou the anointing Spirit art, Who dost thy seven-fold gifts impart."
1Isaiah 32.15 2Ezekiel 36.26,27 3Joel 2.28,29
