I am Sandy Lynn Patton
coming to you live this afternoon on KTLR.
The theme for our program today is:

A PERFECT HEART

In the Words of the Holy Scriptures several places we read:

Be ye holy
As I am holy

Also, Jesus –Yeshua is the name His mother called Him –
actually said these words:

Be perfect, therefore,
even as your heavenly Father
is perfect.

Matthew 5:48 NIV

I want to sing a song for you called: A Perfect Heart.
I will sing it for you first in Spanish, and then in English.

******************************************************************************
SONG: A PERFECT HEART

Brille el sol
De la manyana
Y los campos
Verde estan
Y los sellos
Res grande centrada
Mundo entero ha acha ay
Marabillados
para sus obras
Y grandeso Creador
Y mi alma
a en centrado
Un perfecto corazon

Gloria Dios
En su Divina majestad
Gloria Dios
Quien rein
En justo
Y con poder

Gloria Dios
Quien reinara
Con todo amor
Un perfecto corazan
Un perfecto corazon

(Now in English)

Morning Sun
Light of Creation
Grassy fields of velvet flow.
Sliver clouds,
A shimmering curtain,
You have made a perfect world.

I stand amazed
at Your talents.
Stand in awe
of One so great!

Now my soul
Begins to sing out!
To the source
From which it came!

Bless the LORD!
Who reigns in beauty!
Bless the LORD!
Who reigns in wisdom
And in power!

Bless the LORD!
Who reigns my life
With so much love.
He can make,
A perfect heart.

Bless the LORD!
Who reigns in beauty!
Bless the LORD!
Who reigns in wisdom
And in power!

Bless the LORD!
Who reigns my life
With so much love.
He can make,
A perfect heart.

He can make:
A perfect,
Heart!
*************************************************************************************

So today, as we consider
the theme:

A PERFECT HEART

I would like for us to consider the verses:

Be ye holy
As I Am holy.

Be perfect, therefore,
even as your heavenly Father
is perfect.

What do you think?
Is it really possible to have

A Perfect Heart?

Well, that is just what we are considering today on our radio program.
And later on in the program today, we'll give you a chance to call in.

OUR QUESTION TODAY IS:
Is it possible to have a Perfect Heart?

NON-BELIEVERS

(both Jewish and non-Jewish) in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Jewish Messiah, the Christ, Who came to take away the sins of the world.

The place to start, if you want to have

A Perfect Heart

is to get your heart right with God. He is the only One Who provides forgivenss! Everyone has done wrong and needs to be born a-new of the Spirit, and to do so you must:

A. ADMIT

–that you need God to make right the wrongs

B. BELIEVE

–that He provided a way to pay for wrong

C. CONFESS

–your wrongs to God: ask Him to make you whole.

BELIEVERS

(both Jewish and non-Jewish) in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Jewish Messiah, the Christ, Who came to take away the sins of the world.

WE need to look at the problem of doing wrong after we have asked the LORD to forgive us of all our wrongs:

A. What If We Are FAITH-LESS?

(some teach)
Once you do wrong you just lost your salvation:

What about that? Is it impossible to keep your salvation
if you do wrong again after having received the LORD'S forgiveness?

If that is truth, then every time you: say, think, or do something wrong, you would be Hell bound!

How can this be true is we are God's children?
If we indeed are His children --born again of the Spirit,
Then disobedience cannot make us unborn!
No more than disobedience can make one physically unborn.

If you are born –you are born!

My Dad, Ray Sherman, used to ask the guys in the jail if they were saved. Often times their answer back would be:

I used to be.

Well,

Dad would respond,

What'd He do? Throw you out!

To which the response always was,

No, He didn't. I am the one that left Him.

Which is true:
You see, with God, we have something wonderful! –a totally different kind of love.
It is Agape love, which is a:
Sacrificial,
Giving, and an
Unconditional love.

Though we abide faithless
God remains faithful!

B. God's Faithfulness is Prefect!

In other words,
No matter what, if we turn and trust Him, He will be there for us!
For He says:

I will never leave you
Nor forsake you.

We do not loose our spiritual new birth when we do wrong again –not because of us, but because God is

immutible.

I am the LORD.
I change not,

-Malachi 3:6a NASB

Jesus Christ [Yeshua Messiah],
the same yesterday,
today,
and forever.

God's love is Perfect!
Because His great love
This giving love of grace
God is The Lover above all lovers!

Never wanes or fades!
Never falls short!
Never grows old and wears out!
Never fails!

His mercies are new every morning,
for great is His Faithfulness:

Lamentations 3:22-23 says:

The LORD'S loving-kindnesses indeed never cease.
For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning:
Great is Thy faithfulness.

************************************************************************************
SONG: GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

Great is Thy faithfulness
O God, My Father.
There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not.
As Thou wanst was
Thou forever wilt be!

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning
New mercies I see!
All I ever needed
Thy hand hath provided.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
O LORD
Unto me.

Summer and winter, and spring time and harvest;
Sun, moon, and stars in there courses up above;
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness,
Mercy and love.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning
New mercies I see!
All I ever needed
Thy hand hath provided.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
O LORD
Unto me.

Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth.
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide.
Strength for today, and bright hope, for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine!
And ten thousands besides!

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning
New mercies I see!
All I ever needed
Thy hand hath provided.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
O LORD
Unto me.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning
New mercies I see!
All I ever needed
Thy hand hath provided.
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!

Great!
Is!
Thy faithfulness!

O LORD,
Unto
me.

2. God's Sacrifice is Perfect

Knowing that you were not redeemed
With perishable things,
but with precious blood
as of a lamb
unblemished and spotless,
the blood of Christ [Messiah]

-I Peter 1:18-19 NASB

*************************************************************************************

SONG: TAKE THE NAME OF JESUS WITH YOU

(CHOURS)

blood appears in the place of "name"

Precious blood!
O How sweet
Hope of earth
And joy of Heaven

Precious blood!
O How sweet
Hope of earth
And joy of Heaven
*************************************************************************************

He Who knew no sin
became sin
so that we might become
the righteousness of God.

3. God's hate of wrong is Perfect

Yes, God hates sin.
He will forgive you of all your sins, but
That doesn't change the fact that by His very nature
He hates sin.

Do you want to know how much He hates sin?

Go watch

The Passion

and you will get some idea of just how much does God hates sin!

The Bible says:

There is NO forgiveness without
The shedding of blood.

-Hebrews NASB

*************************************************************************************
SONG: WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN?

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

O Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!
No other fountÃ?’ I know!
Nothing but the blood of
Jesus!
*************************************************************************************
SONG: THERE IS A FOUNTAIN

There is A Fountain
Filled with blood
Drawn from EmmanuelÃ?’s veins
And sinners plunged
Beneath that flood
Loose all
Their guilty stains

Loose all
Their guilty
Stains!
Loose all
Their guilty stains!

And sinners plunged
Beneath that flood
Loose all
Their guilty stains!

The dying thief rejoiced to see
that Fountain in his day.
And there may I though vile as he,
wash all my sins away!

Wash all my sins away!
Wash all my sins away!
And there may I though vile as he,
wash all my sins away!

Er since by faith,
I saw that stream,
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redemption has been my theme,
And shall be 'til I die!

And shall be 'til I die!
And shall be 'til I die!
Redemption has been my theme,
And shall be 'til I die!

There is A Fountain
Filled with blood
Drawn from EmmanuelÃ?’s veins
And sinners plunged
Beneath that flood
Loose all
Their guilty stains
*************************************************************************************

God does not Change:
God's Love is Perfect!
God's Sacrifice is Perfect!
God's Hate of Wrong is Perfect!

II. So the question is:
What is our response to God when He is telling us to be Perfect?

Be ye holy
As I Am holy!

Be perfect, therefore,
as your heavenly Father is perfect.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Do we live our lives as we please?

Hoping we make it to Heaven when we die -because.
Because of what? Because we did our religious duty?

Do we strive to do the best we can?

Expecting that God –Who is loving and kind—
will somehow overlook and bless the rest of our mess?

Do we claim we have no need?

That we are perfect and not in error, and therefore
have no need of forgiveness, grace or mercy?

Do we claim we have no hope?

That we are worthless
And therefore hopelessly
Beyond redemptions power?

THE ANSWER IS:
NONE OF THE ABOVE!

But God still says:

Be ye holy
As I Am holy

You may very well say:

No man can be holy!
Not holy like God is holy!

"Why are you asking Me about what is good?
There is only ONE Who is good;
But if you want to enter into life,
Keep the commandments."

He said to Him, "Which ones?"

"You shall not commit murder.
You shall not commit adultery;
You shall not steal;
You shall not bear false witness;
Honor your father and mother; and
You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

The young man said to Him:
"All these I have kept;
what am I still lacking?"

Jesus said to him,
"If you wish to be complete,
go and sell your possessions
and give to the poor,
and you shall have treasure in heaven;
and come follow Me."

But when the young man heard this statement,
He was grieved;
For he was one who owned much property.
....
And when the disciples heard this,
They were very astonished and said,
"Who then who can be saved?"

And looking upon them Jesus said:
"With men this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible!"

-Matthew 20:17b-22, 25-26 NASB

God says:

"Return to Me
And I will
Return to you."

-Malachi 3:7b NASB

I John chapter 1 verse 9 says:

If we confess our sins,
He is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness.

Confess,

of course, means to tell the whole truth about the matter.

Faithful,

even if we are faithless --the Word says-- He remains faithful!

Sins,

are those things we have done wrong and also those wrong things that have been done to us!

Cleanse us,

notice that He is the One Who cleans us up, and notice that it is after we come to Him.

Unrighteousness,

means all un-

right

-ness --fixing what is broken in us and making our wrongs

right!

Ye
Glad!

Be ye glad

Every debt that you ever had!
