From Stone to Flesh. (3 min 18 sec)

Ezekiel 36:26 says, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."

Oh man, this scripture is something else, isn’t it? Let’s dig in. Let’s go beyond the words and pull out the essence, the imagery, the life that’s packed inside this promise.

A new heart, huh? A heart transplant?

Think about that. God is saying the old heart isn’t cutting it. The old heart—this heart of stone—is rigid, cold, unfeeling, unyielding. It’s like trying to plant seeds in concrete. Ain’t nothing growing there. And that’s the point: life can’t flow when your heart is hardened. You’ve seen it. You’ve felt it. That heart of stone is what keeps you locked in fear, anger, and bitterness.

But what does God say? "I’ll give you a heart of flesh." And flesh, man, you can see it, can’t you? A fleshy heart is alive. It moves, it beats, it responds. Flesh can bleed, yes, but it can also heal. It can grow. It’s tender, vulnerable even, but it’s alive.

What about the spirit?

God says, "I will put a new spirit in you." So what happened to the old one? Maybe it wasn’t defective, but it wasn’t in alignment. It was like a car running on bad fuel. You’re going somewhere, but not very far, and not very smoothly. God’s saying, "I’m not patching you up with quick fixes. I’m giving you something brand-new, something clean, something aligned with Me."

Stone to flesh. Death to life.

This is about transformation. A heart of stone is dead weight. It’s closed off, unable to feel or love. But a heart of flesh? That’s a heart that beats with compassion, empathy, and life. A heart that’s alive is willing to be cut, to bleed, and to heal. It’s soft enough to let love in and strong enough to let love out.

And here’s the beauty of it: Whose flesh is this?

Ah, now we’re talking. This isn’t just your flesh. This is about stepping into a divine tenderness. A heart of flesh isn’t about being weak. It’s about being real, raw, and connected to God. It’s about becoming a vessel that can carry His love into the world.

Is everything gonna be alright?

Well, here’s the thing. The promise of a new heart and spirit isn’t a guarantee of a pain-free life. That’s not what this is about. It’s about how you live through life. With a heart of stone, you resist. With a heart of flesh, you embrace. The new heart and spirit don’t remove the storms—they change how you weather them.

The metaphor speaks.

Can’t you see it? A heart of stone: cold, immovable, lifeless. A heart of flesh: soft, alive, beating with purpose. These images stick with you because they’re true. They show us who we’ve been and who we’re meant to be.

God isn’t just offering a heart transplant; He’s offering a whole new way to live. A heart that feels, a spirit that moves, and a life that flows from His source. It’s not about the old ways of control, fear, and resistance. It’s about stepping into something alive, something real.

Man, what say you? Are you ready to let Him take that stone and give you something living? You can feel it, can’t you? That heart of flesh, beating strong, beating alive, waiting for you to say yes.
