Did God promise a Spirit-filled descendant of David would lead and judge His people?
"A shoot (Christ) will come up from the stump of Jesse (father of King David); from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD—and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth ... Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist" (Isaiah 11:1-5, NIV).
How does God propose to change the human heart?
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then ... you shall be My people, and I will be your God" (Ezekiel 36:26-28; compare Isaiah 59:20-21).
