THE CALVARY MINISTRY - ONLINE THE CROSS OF CALVARY 🙏🏼 WEDNESDAY 5TH AUGUST, 2026 📜 🔑📖 KEY VERSE:``` "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh" (EZEKIEL 36:26). God looked at Israel washing cups while their hearts remained stone, and He promised what religion could never do — “A new heart also will I give you.” That promise was purchased at Calvary. The Cross does not mend the old heart; it removes it. It does not reform the stony heart; it replaces it. When Jesus was pierced, water and blood came out, that He might cleanse us within and put a new spirit within us. Three truths from the new heart: One, God sees the heart. Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart. Outward washing cannot fix an inward problem. Two, God removes the stony heart. “I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh.” The heart that cannot weep over sin, cannot love God, cannot obey — God takes it away at Calvary. That heart died with Christ. Three, God gives a heart of flesh. “And I will give you an heart of flesh.” A heart that feels, that loves, that obeys. “And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes.” At the Cross, God does not just give you a new law; He gives you a new heart to love His law. Stop asking God to fix the old heart. Thank Him that at Calvary He gave you a new one. Live today from that new heart — tender, clean, Spirit-filled. Prayer Father, thank You for not leaving me with a stony heart. Thank You for Calvary where my old heart was taken away. Give me today a heart that loves what You love and hates what You hate. Put Your Spirit within me and cause me to walk in Your ways, in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. May the Lord give you a tender heart today. May He take away every stony place, may His Spirit cause you to walk in obedience, and may the new heart purchased at Calvary beat loudly for Jesus, through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏼
