How to be Pure in Heart

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

This verse can be quite convicting. If read the wrong way, it can send you spiraling downward into self-occupation and self-condemnation.

If you think it’s up to you to guard your heart in order to become pure in heart, you have missed the point.

The truth is, if it was up to your performance to be pure in heart, you would never get to see God.

Invariably, we would have bad thoughts and if you’re constantly feeling condemned every time, your focus will go to yourself instead of Christ.

In the Old Testament, we find a prophecy about what God will do:

“I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.” (Ezekiel‬ ‭36:26-27‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Did you know that you received a new heart the moment you were born-again through faith in Jesus? The new heart loves the things of God and produces righteous desires—it is not rebellious against God’s ways like the stony unbeliever’s heart was.

Your new heart makes you pure in heart, and because of this, you shall see God. When Jesus returns for us, you will see Him first, and then we will all be brought up into Heaven to meet Abba Father.

Being pure in heart is not an achievement you earn. You freely received a pure new heart when you got saved! You don’t have to try to become what you already are.

Grace Clothes you, the Law Strips you

“When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?” He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” The prince of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take your shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.” (Joshua‬ ‭5:13-15‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

A “Christophany” refers to an appearance or manifestation of Christ. The passage above is one example. Christ appeared as the commander and prince of God’s army because the children of Israel were about to battle the Canaanites—Christ was essentially saying that He was ready to fight for Israel.

We know that this is not just an angel because Joshua worshipped Him, called Him “my lord” and the Man said that the ground which Joshua stood upon is holy—Joshua was standing in the presence of God.

At that time, the children of Israel were under the dispensation of the Old Covenant of the Law which began at Mount Sinai. Under the Law, God deals with man based on their obedience to the Ten Commandments. If they are not perfect in all their thoughts and ways, then they have to stay away or risk dying if they presumptuously entered God’s presence.

“Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments, and be ready against the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai. You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death. No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”” (Exodus‬ ‭19:10-13‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The Law says take off your shoes—clean yourself first before coming. It strips you, because you are not qualified to freely enter the presence of a holy God.

However, under Grace, there has been a change. In Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son, the Father represents Abba God, our Heavenly Father, while the prodigal son represents us (former) sinners who were saved by Grace through faith.

““But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate; for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ They began to celebrate.” (Luke‬ ‭15:22-24‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Under Grace, Abba God commands His servants (the angels) to put shoes on our feet. We can freely enter His presence without any fear or hesitation.

You were clothed with righteousness and true holiness the moment you came home to Abba God by placing your faith in Jesus as Lord. You don’t have to earn those shoes. They are your birthright.

God is not mad at you, so draw near to the throne of grace and receive help and mercy in your time of need!

Post Comp Questions and Answers

1. How did you feel post comp felt?
i had the blues.. cause after the comp, my goal kinda ended. I was rather lost, cause the routine was broken. I felt goalless but that was important to let the body rest. I got enough rest physically i'd say, but mentally maybe not quite. Life continued, with work and everything else. Nature of my job, it's rather hard to take a break. But i'm making it work.

2.Did you manage to maintain your comp physique?
No. cause3 e everywhere fb er reed I ate food i usually avoided, so i bloated after 3 days.. My weight on comp day was 53kg but i'm currently at about 57.7kg, which I don't really mind. i was only suppose to cheat for one whoolllle day right after comp. But to the dismay of my coach to about 3 days. Then I tried to get back on track. I'm not going to say it's impossible to maintain an aesthetic physique, cause it is possible, but its up to how you want to live YOUR lifestyle. In order to maintain the body i had for comp, i have to keep up with the lifestyle. But i want to say that is my norm because I'm more aware on the food choices I make for MY body. Klootype.

3.Did you finally meet my coach?
Yes I did, I wasn't as emotional as i thought i would be. I'm just being the drama queen in my head.

4. What was the first thing i ate after comp?
A burger, fries , waffles, pancakes,

5. What was my Food/Macros like post Comp?
i went back to 1550-1600cals. The breakdown is the most important part.
Comp season - I was on 50g of carbs and below. Protein intake was very high and my fat was somewhere in the middle.
Off season - i'm on 70-75g of carbs. Protein is still higher than fat, but i'm allowing myself to have a bit more fat than before. You'd be surprise that an extra 20g of carbs is a lot! For example before if i were to eat about 7 rice cakes i would hit my 50g of carbs. But now i'm allowed up to 12 rice cakes for 75g of carbs.
I know numbers may seem like a pain, but like i said it's about making smarted choices and knowing how to manipulate food for your body.
On 75g of carbs, i noticed i didn't have as much definition as i did prior to 50g of carbs.

6.How will I do things differently?
My training program, i leave it up entirely to my coach.
I'm adding EMS to my training sessions now. 1-2 a week as prescribed by my coach.


Ensure my costume is ready a month in advance.

I'm going to make sure that makeup is all done in the morning and not 2-3 hours before. How i carb load up would also be different.

7. What's your motivation?
I want to get Top 5!

I am my motivation. My family is my motivation. I do the things that I do because i believe that God has a higher purpose for me and I know that it has something to do with helping others. Fitness and Mental wellness goes hand in hand. Doing this comp gears me to improve myself. If I can put myself through this anyone else can. Nothing is impossible, it's just a matter of whether you are willing to sacrifice certain things.


Would i recommend someone to join a comp?
Yes! While competing may not be for everyone, but I do recommend it, because what you learn from the process is so worth it. I've said it before, you get a better understanding of yourself and your body. Having said that, I highly recommend for girls who are about to start taking part to find a good coach that knows about nutrition, training regimes and hormones well. Girls who I hear are eating 1000 calories or even doing cardio for 2 hours in a day, well... I reserve my comments but there is always an alternative and healthier ways to get ready aesthetically, without causing harm to your body.

Will I Compete Again?
Yes I will. I'm aiming for a show in 3months time. This will be a lot harder and a much bigger stage.

I have a different mindset going into this second comp. The first time, i went in with the mind, die die, i'm going to do it. In the past 2 and half months, I toyed with the idea of competing again. It was like as if I could choose not to do it and I could. Cause i've already gone through the challenge why do it again?? I have other priorities in life no?

I will do another comp because I want a new challenge. I want to learn more. Sure there are many ways of getting life lessons, but I found this journey to be a beneficial one. I'm going in this comp, cause I want to beat me!

I conquered the inner demons in my first comp. I have more amo and armour now - which are the knowledge and experience. So i want to try and take it a step further. How far can i challenge my physique, with all the external factors around me. I want to how to handle a stressful situations better.
