The Spirit will keep you alive up until the time you get to heaven!
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and in Ezekiel 11 God says, “I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.” Recently, I heard about Stan, a man who actually lived without a heart. Stan had a heart condition and needed a transplant, but he was running out of time. So, the doctors removed Stan’s heart and replaced it with a device called the Freedom Driver which pumped his blood for 555 days until he was able to receive a new heart. Stan’s story parallels our own spiritual condition. You see, before we accept Jesus we have a really bad heart condition. Without intervention, we’ll die. But our wonderful Savior did intervene. And through His sacrifice, He gave us His “freedom driver” in the Holy Spirit. It’s the Spirit who keeps us alive until we can get to heaven to receive our perfect, sinless heart. And you know what? I can’t wait.
