“I am your Jesus, born Incarnate.”

“An icicle, which you see all around you these days, is water frozen in motion. In order to melt, it must be enveloped in warmth. An icy heart is more difficult to melt, for free will keeps it cold and frozen. For an icy heart to melt, it must be embraced with Holy Love and Holy Humility. This requires an act of free will. The soul, through love and humility, sees where he stands before God and chooses to change.”

“The best prayer for the melting of an icy heart is that being convicted in error, the soul chooses to change. This requires a surrender to Holy Love and Holy Humility. The self-righteous heart is often the most difficult to change. Such a one is too proud to recognize his own errors.”

“The warmth of prayer and sacrifice melts an icy heart and sends it on its way to conversion, just as warm air sets the water in an icicle in motion. The water runs freely. The soul is freed from the slavery of sin.”

Read Romans 10:1-4 *

Synopsis: Paul's prayer for those who have a zeal for God that they realize their salvation comes from the righteousness of God – not self-righteousness; and that they surrender their hearts to God's righteousness. Only through Christ can anyone who has faith be justified.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened. For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law, that every one who has faith may be justified.
