Day 152 Bible Readings - Ezekiel 36:26-27 (NLT)



Ezekiel 34-37, Psalm 147

Ezekiel 36:26-27 (NLT)

“And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.”

In Ezekiel 36:26-27, the Lord tells Ezekiel that He promises to spiritually renew Israel. Father-God promised that He would give the people of Israel a new heart and a new spirit within them. The Lord will put His Spirit into the people so they will follow His decrees and laws.

Reading these verses, I believe Ezekiel prophesied about the new covenant that Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection would fulfill. In John 3, Jesus spoke about being born again to Nicodemus. Paul spoke about becoming a new person when you believe in Christ in 2 Corinthians 5:17. Jesus said believers would receive a new life, which includes a new heart.

The new spirit is a prophecy of the Holy Spirit that was fulfilled in Acts 1:8, when Jesus said the Holy Spirit would come upon believers and they would receive power. Christ said the Holy Spirit would dwell within us and give us guidance. The Holy Spirit helps us live according to the Lord’s will.

The new covenant with Jesus Christ is not established through obedience to the Law, but on grace through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The new covenant is internalized in our hearts and not written on stone like the old covenant.

When I joined my new church and received an impartation, it felt like Father-God had taken out my heart and replaced it with a new one. I felt so much pain in my heart region that I originally thought I might be having a heart attack. The feeling was so painful and strong that I started to hyperventilate. But instantly my body relaxed, and I felt peace descend upon me. I opened my eyes and thought, What the heck just happened? Then the pastor talked about receiving a new heart when you come into a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ, and I knew I had experienced in my body what those words meant. That experience changed my life and continues to change it daily.

If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who will give you a new heart and transform your life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 151 Bible Readings - Ezekiel 33:30-33 (NLT)

Ezekiel 31-33, Psalm 146

Ezekiel 33:30-33 (NLT)

“Son of man, your people talk about you in their houses and whisper about you at the doors. They say to each other, ‘Come on, let’s go hear the prophet tell us what the Lord is saying!’ So my people come pretending to be sincere and sit before you. They listen to your words, but they have no intention of doing what you say. Their mouths are full of lustful words, and their hearts seek only after money. You are very entertaining to them, like someone who sings love songs with a beautiful voice or plays fine music on an instrument. They hear what you say, but they don’t act on it! But when all these terrible things happen to them—as they certainly will—then they will know a prophet has been among them.”

In Ezekiel 33:30-33, the Lord tells Ezekiel that the people listened to his prophecies, but they did not obey them. The people talked about Ezekiel’s prophecies and believed that the words did come from the Lord. The people even said kind things about Ezekiel’s preaching, but it made no difference in their hearts. They failed to commit to making the changes in their lives that Father-God required. The Lord compared Ezekiel to a singer. He was very entertaining to the people, and they appreciated his preaching. Then the Lord said that when Ezekiel’s prophecies came true, the people would realize the consequences of ignoring the Lord’s messengers.

These verses remind believers that true faith means aligning our actions and our lives with what we believe. We cannot just hear Father-God’s words and find them entertaining, like listening to a singer. We cannot listen to the Word of the Lord superficially. We cannot live for ourselves; we need to live for the honor of Father-God.

I sometimes wonder if I am engaging with the Lord’s Word on an intellectual level only. When this happens, I stop and assess the areas of my life where my actions are not aligned with Father-God’s teachings. Am I letting the Lord’s words transform my life? Am I professing my faith with my mouth while my heart is far from the Lord? Am I pursuing the Lord’s will or my own interests?

This self-assessment is hard to do because you might not like what you find. I didn’t. There are parts of my life that are still not aligned with the Lord’s plan for my life. I am working on them, and I know that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, my faith will be demonstrated through my obedience and application of the Lord’s teachings in my life, and I won’t face the consequences of sin and disobedience.

If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who wants to transform your life through the application of His Word—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 150 Bible Readings - Ezekiel 29:13-14 (NLT)

Ezekiel 29-30, Psalm 145

Ezekiel 29:13-14 (NLT)

“But this is what the Sovereign Lord also says: At the end of the forty years I will bring the Egyptians home again from the nations to which they have been scattered. I will restore the prosperity of Egypt and bring its people back to the land of Pathros in southern Egypt from which they came. But Egypt will remain an unimportant, minor kingdom.”

In Ezekiel 29:13-14, the Lord tells Ezekiel that He will bring back the Egyptians to their homeland forty years after King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon conquered them. Father-God will restore the prosperity of Egypt, but it will never again be a great nation.

These verses remind believers that the Lord controls the rise and fall of all nations, and not just Israel. But Father-God also showed His mercy and promised to restore Egypt to prosperity, although it would never again be a great nation. One Bible commentary I read noted that the restoration of Egypt fulfills a prophecy in Isaiah 19:19-25, where Isaiah prophesied about an altar to the Lord in the heart of Egypt and that the Egyptians would know the Lord. Isaiah’s prophecy came true because the early Christian church had a strong presence in Egypt for over 600 years.

Another Bible commentary I read noted that the humbling of Egypt served as a warning to other nations opposing the will of the Lord. Egypt was also a proud nation, and its people boasted that they created the Nile River and that it belonged to them. Ezekiel’s prophecy shows Egypt that there are consequences for not recognizing and honoring the Lord as the Creator of everything.

These verses show me that the Lord always has a plan in mind. Father-God punished Egypt because they did not acknowledge Him, but I believe He also restored them because, in the future, after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, there would be a Christian church in Egypt for over 600 years. The Lord has a plan not just for His people, but for the nations of the world. The Lord is merciful and offers restoration because He has plans for nations and people who may someday be instrumental in bringing others to salvation.

If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who has a plan for your life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 149 Bible Readings for May 31 - Psalm 144:1-2 (NLT)

Ezekiel 25-28, Psalm 144

Psalm 144:1-2 (NLT)

“Praise the Lord, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle. He is my loving ally and my fortress, my tower of safety, my rescuer. He is my shield, and I take refuge in him. He makes the nations submit to me.”

In Psalm 144:1-2, David praised the Lord as his stability and strength. David believed that Father-God trained him for war, as he had to engage in many battles to establish and defend his kingdom. David spent his early years as a shepherd. He sought the Lord’s guidance and protection before all his battles. When David was on the run from King Saul, he relied on Father-God for His help and protection. David considered the Lord his shield and his refuge, and believed that Father-God granted him victory over his enemies.

These verses remind believers that we can rely on the Lord to be our foundation and our source of strength. If Father-God has equipped us with a task, we can be assured that He will equip and train us for the challenges we may face. The love that the Lord has for His people is steadfast and constant, and we can trust Him. Father-God sent the Holy Spirit to guide us and rescue us from difficult situations. Our faith in the Lord is a shield that protects us from attacks. We may not face the physical battles and enemies that David did, but the Lord will help us with our problems so we can overcome them.

Reading these verses written by David gives me hope that whatever tasks the Lord has given me, I will be able to overcome them. Sometimes I fear that I don’t have the training or intelligence to fulfill my tasks, but then I remember David, who started out as a shepherd boy and, with Father-God’s help, went on to become Israel’s greatest king. David constantly acknowledged that he owed his change in fortune to the Lord’s guidance. I know that I would not have made it this far in my life if the Holy Spirit had not been there to constantly guide me. My whole life is a testament that the Lord is my rescuer, my ally, my shield, and my foundation.

If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who can be your rock and salvation—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer. Tell Him you trust Him and desire to walk with Him. He is faithful, and He will meet you exactly where you are.

Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
