Today, October 18, is a divine call to the altar of spiritual brokenness — a place where the human heart yields completely to God. Brokenness is not weakness; it is surrender. It is the point where our pride, self-will, and desires are laid down so that God can fully reign within us. David understood this truth when he cried, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise” (Psalm 51:17).
True spiritual power is birthed from a heart that is humble before God. Many believers desire anointing, revelation, and divine elevation, but the path to all these treasures begins with humility and submission. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). Spiritual brokenness is when you no longer strive with God — when your heart beats in rhythm with His will. It is a total dependence on Him for everything, acknowledging that without Him, you can do nothing (John 15:5).
When a believer becomes broken, God begins to rebuild, reshape, and refill them. The Holy Spirit flows freely through a surrendered vessel. Today, as you lift your voice in prayer, ask the Lord to break you, mold you, and make you more like Him. Brokenness precedes usefulness — until the alabaster box is broken, the fragrance of the oil cannot fill the room.
What to Do to Have Spiritual Brokenness
- Surrender Your Will to God: Let His will take priority over your desires.
- Spend Time in God’s Presence: Worship and meditate on His Word daily.
- Walk in Humility: A humble heart attracts divine grace.
- Repent and Confess Quickly: Don’t hide sin; confess and turn from it.
- Obey Promptly: Delayed obedience can harden the heart.
- Love and Forgive Freely: Let go of bitterness and offense.
- Seek the Holy Spirit’s Help: Only He can truly transform your heart.

Conclusion
Beloved, spiritual brokenness is not about tears; it’s about transformation. It’s not about how loud you pray, but how much of your heart you yield to God. When you are broken, Heaven draws near to you. God can only fill what is empty and use what is surrendered.
Allow the Holy Spirit to mold your heart daily. Let Him strip away everything that hinders your growth and intimacy with God. Remember, before God can lift a man, He must first humble him. The more broken you are before the Lord, the more useful you become in His hands.
Today, choose to live in humility, repentance, and dependence on God. Let your prayer be, “Lord, break me and make me again.” From the ashes of surrender will rise a life filled with divine power, purity, and purpose.
