In our theme scripture, the Lord Jesus informs us that the pure in heart shall see God. In a similar fashion Hebrew 12:14 says, "Pursue peace and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord". The question is see God where? This is not just referring to heaven but seeing Him here on earth. Being pure in heart largely deals with the state of your mind. Your mind is the door of your heart and reflects it. A filthy mind won't see God. A dirt mind beclouds whatever you see. The word of God holds the sanctifying power for your mind and heart. In John 15:3 The Lord said "you are clean through the word I have spoken to you". With a sanctified mind and heart you are able to see God every time.

How do you see God with the sanctified mind? Firstly you have sanctified judgment (your mind is not defiled). This is where you see and define things the Lord's way. Titus 1:15 states, "A person who is pure of heart sees goodness and purity in everything; but a person whose own heart is evil and untrusting finds evil in everything, for his dirty mind and rebellious heart color all he sees and hears". When your mind is purified you are not hindered from seeing the doings of the Lord. When you are impure in your mind and heart your sight is affected. And you find people that can hardly appreciate and see the good in others because they are impure within. Besides sanctified judgment, you become sharp in your spiritual senses to notice or detect God's movements. With this, one can notice God and hear God even in busy places. Seeing God also means the experience of His blessings in your life and the influence of His power. These are amazing blessings of being pure in heart.
