Psalm 51:10-13(NLT)
10
Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me.
11
Do not banish me from your presence,
and don’t take your Holy Spirit[d] from me.
12
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.
13
Then I will teach your ways to rebels,
and they will return to you.
Psalm 51:10-13(TPT)
10
Create a new, clean heart within me.[h]
Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires, ready to please you.[i]
11
May you never reject me!
May you never take from me your sacred Spirit!
David’s Consecration
12
Let my passion for life be restored,
tasting joy[j] in every breakthrough you bring to me.
Hold me close to you with a willing spirit
that obeys whatever you say.
13
Then I can show to other guilty ones
how loving and merciful you are.
They will find their way back home to you,
knowing that you will forgive them.
“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,
But sanctify the Lord God[fn] in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
1 Peter 3:15-16a(TPT)
15 But give reverent honor in your hearts to the Anointed One and treat him as the holy Master[r] of your lives. And if anyone asks[s] about the hope living within you, always be ready to explain your faith 16 with gentleness and respect.
Heb 13:5-6(NLT)
5 Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,
“I will never fail you.
I will never abandon you.”[b]
6 So we can say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper,
so I will have no fear.
What can mere people do to me?”[c]
Sealed with the Holy Spirit Eph 1:13
1 Tim 6:11-12(NLT)
11 But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.
Heb 5:11-14(NLT)
11 There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen. 12 You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word.[c] You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. 13 For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. 14 Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.
Heb 5:13-14(TPT)
13 For every spiritual infant who lives on milk is not yet pierced[m] by the revelation of righteousness.[n] 14 But solid food is for the mature, whose spiritual senses perceive heavenly matters. And they have been adequately trained by what they’ve experienced to emerge[o] with understanding of the difference between what is truly excellent and what is evil and harmful.
