The Ready Heart: Living Fully Surrendered to God
Walter Colace delivers a Spirit-led, heart-searching message about what it means to be ready for God's presence. Drawing from Scripture and a lifetime of faithful ministry, he calls us to examine our hearts, lay down our pride, and allow the Holy Spirit to prepare us for a move of God.
💬 “The fire of God only falls on the altar of full surrender.”
💬 “Don’t harden your heart—let the Holy Spirit soften it today.”
💬 “God isn’t looking for perfection—He’s looking for a ready heart.”
💬 “It’s not about your past. It’s about your posture right now.”
🔑 Key Themes:
• Readiness is a heart posture of humility and surrender
• The Holy Spirit works in hearts that are soft, not resistant
• God’s presence comes to those who make room for Him
• Transformation begins when you stop resisting and start responding
• The fire of revival falls on surrendered hearts
📖 Scriptures Referenced:
• 2 Chronicles 16:9 – “The eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.”
• Psalm 51:17 – “A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”
• Hebrews 3:15 – “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
• Romans 12:1 – “Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice…”
• James 4:6–8 – “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
🙏 A Word for You: Has your heart grown calloused? Are you resisting the very God who wants to heal and restore you? Today is the day to respond.
🛐 Lay down your pride.
🔥 Open up your heart.
🙏 Invite the Holy Spirit to change you from the inside out. You don’t need to fix yourself first—just bring your whole self to God in surrender. He’ll do the rest. He’s not waiting for your perfection. He’s waiting for your “yes.”
