In this episode of Seeking with Shari, “Heart of Flesh,” Shari explores the profound transformation from a hardened, unresponsive heart to one that is tender, obedient, and receptive to God. She addresses the spiritual significance of having a “heart of stone” versus a “heart of flesh” and the divine process by which this change occurs.
Through her message and these powerful scriptures, she highlights God’s promise to transform our inner being:
- Ezekiel 36:26 – “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh”. This foundational scripture from the Old Testament encapsulates the episode’s central theme of spiritual transformation.
- Ezekiel 11:19 – “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh”. This verse reinforces God’s promise of a unified and responsive heart.
- Jeremiah 31:33 – “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people”. This prophecy speaks of God’s law being internalized, signifying a deep, heartfelt obedience.
- 2 Corinthians 3:3 – “It is clear that you are Christ’s letter, produced by us, not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living God—not on stone tablets but on tablets that are hearts of flesh”. This New Testament verse illustrates how believers, through the Holy Spirit, embody God’s message with a “heart of flesh,” contrasting with the old covenant written on stone.
- Romans 8:7-8 – “For the mind of the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God”. This scripture underscores the struggle of a heart not yet transformed, highlighting the inability of a “stony” heart to truly please God.
