Ezekiel 36:26-27 (KJV)

²⁶ 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.

²⁷ And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Many people say that they've experienced a change of heart but the bible tells us what truly is a renewed heart.

There is a true, profound transformation that only God can create inside of us. From the time we are born, we are exposed to the influence of individualism.
We are immediately taught to believe in ourselves and follow our hearts. We are even encouraged to cultivate the mindset of trusting in self.

When we are told we cannot do something or that we shouldn't trust ourselves, it's seen as negative. It pricks us to the core and hardens our hearts. We love being around people who "motivate" or "encourage" us to try harder and follow our hearts. 

This is the work of the evil spirit. He planted those hardened hearts to follow and trust ourselves so that we can never turn to God.

This is the state of our natural, original heart. But God wants to remove this heart from us of trusting and believing in ourselves. 

God does this by allowing us to follow my hearts temporarily so that we can arrive to the conclusion of distrusting ourselves. This then allows us to fully depend on God for everything.

The stony heart represents our stubbornness, pride, and sin. We stubbornly think we are "good" people, even when we fail. Satan gives us pride and exalts our hearts when we do a little "good" for people. 
He even gives us a heart of false humility, thinking it's humble to say we are sinners when in fact it's disrespectful to Jesus.

The new heart that God is talking about is one of true humility. It's arriving at the thought that, "I cannot do it, I'm truly evil". This state of the heart is very precious. But sadly, many people do not have this heart.
We all think we can do well or at least do some good. Of course we can do good in our eyes. But in God's eyes and his standards, we can never match up to Jesus.

We must distrust our good in order to lean on our God. This is what God means when he says he will place a new heart in us. The heart to deny our "goodness" and lean on God's goodness.

God also promises, "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them." This is the ultimate transformation.

Not only does God give us a new heart to distrust ourselves completely, but He also places His Spirit within us.

The Holy Spirit empowers us to live according to God’s ways. It cannot sin and dwells within us, which means we cannot sin once we accept this.

It’s not about striving in our strength but about relying on the Spirit’s power from God. We are already Holy, keeping the commandments, and righteous saints/children of God. Amen?

We must believe this even when it doesn't make sense. This means we cannot even stumble because the Holy Spirit doesn't allow it.

Even when we feel like we do, God says we keep his statues. We should believe his word above our thoughts. God promised and delivered what he set out to do.

We truly are new creatures with new hearts of distrusting ourselves. We are made righteous and cannot sin because God placed the Holy Spirit inside of us.
We did not do anything, but God did everything. He wanted us to reach the point that we are nothing so that he could be our everything.

Hallelujah Amen!
