If the pure
heart you have received from the lord is, maintained, your motives will be pure
and the self- life will immediately end. However, the enemy may attack and want
to take you to life governed by self. The question is, ‘’how do you maintain
the pure heart?’’ here are some suggestions:
1. Humble yourself. You must do it. You can
do it. If you do not take the initiative to humble yourself, God will humble
you, and it is horrible. Do not ask God to do it. He wants you to do it. He comes
in as a last resort and it is always in the form of judgement.
2. Confess all that comes through out of
the self life, confess and repent. Confess to God and man. Change your ways. Start
telling all the truth about yourself. Start exposing those parts of your life
which you have been hiding in order to build a great but false image of
yourself. Let your friend know all about you including your deepest failure. Hide
nothing. Take a move towards reconciliation. Take the first move. Do not wait
for the other party to move
3. Stop justifying yourself. Deliberately
refuse to justify anything you have done. If you have done wrong, repent at
once. If you have done no wrong, do not try to show that you are right. God
knows that you are right and that is all matters.
Accept
blame.

criticisms,
