This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

Titus 1:13-16 NKJ

Rodney Howard Browne talks about purity.  According to the word of God, the attitude of our heart determines how we perceive everything around us. We can look for the good or we can look for the bad in people and situations. We can look for the best or we can look for the worst. 1 Corinthians 13:7 says that love is “ever ready to believe the best of every person.” God believes the best of us. Even though He sees right into our heart, He still gives us the benefit of the doubt. When He speaks to us, He speaks to our future and when He speaks over us, He speaks life. He always sees what good thing that He can make of us. Of course we must be yielded to Him and not doing our own thing and going our own way. We need to give others the same benefit of the doubt and believe the best of them as much as possible.

There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. Luke 23:32

Paradise.”

Luke 23:39-43 NKJ

One criminal admitted his guilt and acknowledged the innocence of Jesus, crucified not for His own sin, but for ours. The other criminal, defiant toward God and man even as he faced death, mocked Jesus. The two completely different ways that the two men saw Jesus were colored by the attitude of their own hearts. One, with a soft heart, saw his Savior, but the other, with a hard heart, saw just a man hanging next to him. In Titus it says that to the pure all things are pure. When you have a pure heart you look for and see the good in things and people. You believe that even if people make mistakes, that they mean well. When your heart is evil, you think that everything you see is evil, too. You believe that people’s motives are as evil as your own.

This will be the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”2 Corinthians 13:1 NKJ

Having a pure heart has everything to do with the way we perceive the word of God. A pure heart is an honest heart. If we have a pure heart we will receive the word and believe it exactly as it is. We will not twist it, pervert it, or ignore what we don’t like. We will not make it say what we want it to say. We will believe it in its entirety and not base what we believe on selected scriptures taken out of context.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:22 NKJ

The Word of God must be honored in our lives. We must not try to change it to suit ourselves, but we must change to conform to it. The word is pure water that washes us clean and makes us pure again. Adam and Eve were originally pure and innocent, but sin corrupted them and their seed. Jesus restored to us the purity that they once had. It does not matter what you have been exposed to and how hard and corrupt you became. When you are born again, you are changed. The word of God and the Holy Spirit will begin to wash and change you and restore the purity and innocence you never thought that you would see again. The world says that once you lose your innocence, it is gone forever. But by the supernatural, transforming power of the Spirit of God and the blood of Jesus, our innocence can be restored and we can be like God – having a pure heart and looking for the good in every situation and in every person!

1. He loved me first. I John 4:19 (NKJ)19 We love Him because He first loved us.

2. He sent Jesus as a sacrifice to pay the price for my sin. John 3:16 (NKJ)16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
3. His blood has redeemed me. 1 Peter 1:18-19 (NKJ)18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers,19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
4. He does not judge, reject or condemn me. John 3:17-18 (NKJ)17 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

5. He forgives me. I John 1:9 (NKJ)9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

6. His love and goodness cause me to seek His grace and His mercy and repent of my sin – so that He can forgive me.Romans 2:4 (NKJ)4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

7.He is my Father and He has made me His child. Galatians 4:6-7 (NKJ)6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

8. He hears and answers my prayers. I John 5:14-15 (NKJ)14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

9. He cares about me and provides for me. Matthew 6:31-33 (NKJ)31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’32 “For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

10. I belong to Jesus and no one can snatch me from His hand. I am His – for all eternity. John 10:28-29 (NKJ)28 “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.29 “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand

We followed a bus dropping off kids from the school and I ran over to the bus and asked the driver if I could pray blessing over them. And they all came to the front and peaked their heads over the seat and 5 gave their heart to the Lord. The script made it so easy to win souls. Thanks so much Rodney Howard Browne for an amazing soul winning tool! Tiffany L

My wife and I have been mega-blessed during the G.A.T. Cocoa and G.A.T. Sanford! Last night as Pastor Rodney prayed for those in full time ministry, the Holy Spirit blew out our pipes and filled us with fresh oil! Praise God! Jean & I have had the pure joy of leading 102 souls to the Lord on the streets and in a nursing home over the past 3 days. Yesterday, a fifteen year old girl in our youth group (who has never witnessed her faith publicly before) led 3 people to the Lord at Wal-Mart … one of whom was a Mormon woman ! Just before sending in this praise report, our associate pastor in Cocoa called to tell me he just led a man to the Lord at the gas station while he was getting gas and the man wants to be picked up for church on Sunday ! He also told me about another guy in our Cocoa church who got ignited at the G.A.T. Cocoa (and has led more than 50 to the Lord since the G.A.T. Cocoa) … a man knocked on his door at home, explained that he had just been released from prison and asked to use the telephone. he let him in, let him use the telephone and led the man to Jesus using the gospel script ! Another girl in our youth group in Deland (who has been through hell over the past few years with severe family issues) was called out of the audience at the G.A.T. Sanford on night two (she and her friend were called out together … they were sitting towards the front on the left hand side as you face the congregation) …. Pastor Rodney prayed for them and they went flying … the one girl, Stephanie, has been giddy with they joy of the Lord ever since. Her life has been changed and she is now, for the first time, speaking civilly to her step dad! Praise the Living Lord for His awesome goodness!

Testimony:
In a nursing home the physical therapist was adjusting the pillow under a lady’s knees. Her legs were straight; I asked to pray for her. She got saved. Then I prayed for her legs. I cursed this spirit of infirmity down to the roots even as Jesus cursed the fig tree and told to dry up and then loosed the power of the Holy Ghost by the blood of Jesus to go into her legs and back where the infirmity had come out. She had a puzzled look on her face. I said what is it? Do you feel something? She said yes, I feel something. I said there’s no more pain. She said: “There is no more pain, it feels good. It feels really good”. I said you are healed. Jean T.
