God is able to change a hardened heart
Ezekiel 36:26-27
26 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.
27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my
decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
He does it by His Spirit
Zechariah 12:10
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on
me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an
only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
Ability to meet the needs of others through effective
ministry
Mark 1:35-39
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus
got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
36 Simon and his companions went to look for him,
37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is
looking for you!”
38 Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby
villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.”
39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their
synagogues and driving out demons.
Ability to avoid the share of public acclamation
John 6:15
Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king
by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
