Fire Scripture

Memory verse
Psalm 51:17- The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
MFM Mountain Top Life Devotional 9 April 2021 Outline
In 2 Sam. 12:1-12, after Nathan’s very grave speech to David, David’s only recorded response in the passage is found in a simple but loaded statement: “I have sinned against the Lord.” This is David, a man after God’s own heart and the greatest king of Israel.
This remorseful response is a profound attitude of brokenness. Beloved, anyone that ignoresthe highway of brokeness cannot make itspiritually. What is brokenness? It isthe shattering of yourself-will.It isthe absolute surrender of yourwillto thewill of God.Itisthe condition of being completely subdued and humbled before the Lord, and as a result, completely yielded to and dependent upon Him also.
Brokenness is the spirit of the humble, contrite heart, the poor and the harmless. You must understand that God breaks us in ordertomouldusintowhatHewants ustobe. Brokenness is a prerequisite for you if God must use you. It gives us access to Gods secret place. It brings us into intimacy with the Lord God Almighty and opens up our lives to spiritual fellowship with our Maker.
Jesus is our perfect example of brokenness. Are you broken? If you refuse to be broken, the pleasant sweet smell of your life will not flow out. Moreover, brokenness is the right of passage to blessings. It is the bridge to the depth of God’s love and intimacy. However, it is not without a price. You have to give up your life completely so that you can gain all of God.
Unfortunately, without brokenness, you will miss the Lord’s best for your destiny and experience a life-long process of stagnation. You may make little progress, but not without still messing up your Christian testimony. These will not be your portion, in the name of Jesus.
I encourage you to pray to God to break you and make you into the image of His Son, Jesus. What He breaks, He makes. And what God makes is always beautiful
Motivational Quote
What God breaks, He makes into a masterpiece.
Prophetic Word
God will arise and make you wiser than your enemies, in the name of Jesus.
HYMN – Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus l
1. Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus Daily let me go; Higher, higher in the school of wisdom, More of grace to know Chorus O deeper yet, I pray And higher ev’ry day, And wiser, blessed Lord In Thy precious holy Word. 2. Deeper, deeper, blessed Holy Spirit, Take me deeper still, Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus And His perfect will. 3. Deeper, deeper, tho’ it cost hard trials, Deeper let me go! Rooted in the holy love of Jesus, Let me fruitful grow. 4. Deeper, higher ev’ry day in Jesus Till all conflict past, Finds me conqu’ror, and in His image Perfected at last.
