New Heart Ministries is simply an opportunity to take God at His word, to say Yes to His gracious invitation and bring an end to the long, lonely, and often discouraging search for healing by receiving an authentic healing that lasts a lifetime! We seek to introduce those who need healing with the One who has revealed Himself as our Healer, our Forgiver, our Savior, our Reconciler, and the Giver of New Hearts.

One night I was cooking dinner for my wife.  ”Be careful, it’s hot,” I said to her as I served her the dish.  She then went on to say something that so impacted me; “It’s so interesting that you can see heat.”  She was referring to the hot food but the Lord used her to speak directly to my heart.  I wondered; “Am I burning with the fire of God?  If so, can others see the heat?”

The Bible says of John the Baptist that he was a “burning and shining lamp”.  Researchers believe that up to 750,000 people went to go see John preach within a six month period!  This is before the Internet, or media existed!  Trust me, he wasn’t preaching a watered down, tickle your ear, convenient gospel either!  He preached, “Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand!”  So what did they go out to see?  I believe they went out to see a burning man in the desert!  John’s life was one that was marked with the fire of the Holy Spirit!

John had an inward consecration to God that marked him as a blazing inferno of fiery zeal!  John was burning with the desire to be a highway for the Messiah to ride into the earth on!  He was a man of great humility!  Willingly giving up his own disciples to a man who’s sandals he did not feel worthy to untie.  He was the first to have the prophetic eyes to see Jesus as “the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.”  He fasted often.  He was a man who stood for truth even in the face of death.  He was called to a lonely life but was later referred to by Jesus as “the greatest man born of women”.  He was a laid down lover.  He was a man on fire.

If you touch fire to something that’s not on fire for long enough, that thing will also start on fire.  Fire spreads.  It is a consuming force that when given the right fuel will continually expand.

Are you a burning and shining lamp?  Is your life marked by fire?  Can others see the heat coming off of your life?  If not, it’s time to press in close to God.  After all, He is an all-consuming fire.  Stick around Him long enough and you’ll have no choice but to burn.

Bring your friends! It’s going to be a great time for all!

The four-hour sun break between rain showers was just enough to get our family out into the garden.  The first thing to do was to prepare the beds for planting - i.e. pull up what we didn’t want to grow.  All kinds of random seeds (weeds) get sown in the garden and begin coming up in the spring.  We have to stay on top of it or the “volunteers” take over and choke out what we really want to grow.
Even the good things will take over.  A man reaps what he sows, right?  (Galatians 6:7)
Sometimes, even good seed is too much of a good thing.  We had some Rose Campion flowers spend a season in the garden.
Great looking flowers – greenish-silver colored leaves that are fuzzy like lamb’s ears; bright fuchsia flowers in the summer; self-seeds like crazy.  An hour of pulling up starts worth of crazy.
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. (2 Cor 9:6)
