God honors the integrity of AbimelechReferring to Genesis chapter 20, the speaker notes how God protected Abimelech from sin because of the honesty and integrity found in his heart.
The danger of hidden dishonestyUnconfessed dishonesty in the heart leads believers away from fellowship and causes them to stumble over small things.
The second requirement: keeping a broken spiritBased on Isaiah chapter 57, God dwells with those who are of a contrite and lowly spirit.Isaiah 57:15
What does true brokenness mean?Brokenness is not just shedding tears, but being broken in your will just like a piece of bread that breaks easily.
Jesus' food was doing the Father's willIn John chapter 6 and John chapter 4, Jesus explains that His food and true spiritual nourishment is to do the will of Him who sent Him.John 6:54–55
Sacrificing your will at the altarBelievers are called to yield their own agenda, humble themselves in the church, and make God's house their true home.
God's eyes search the earth for the uprightThe Lord's eyes roam across the earth to find those whose hearts are fully loyal to Him, just as He looked for Abraham.
Avoiding hypocrisy and prideMany start well with spiritual gifts, but pride and outward show ruin them, whereas God looks for genuine inward uprightness.
Looking at the heart instead of outward appearanceWhen Samuel looked at Eliab, he judged by outward appearance, but God looks at the heart and chooses the upright.
Running the race with joy like a championLike the sun that rejoices to run its course with full strength, believers should fulfill God's work with joy and dedication.
