The Spirit for some reason is saying, "The intent of our heart is what exposes our Faith and Bible shows us what our Faith can accomplish by what God's sees in our heart.....not in David's or Moses, or any of the prophets, for their faith was built on works and our faith should is believing God sent his only begotten son....where there is joy unspeakable and full of glory.....

Because of Dan. 10:12 and its the test of John 4:24.

The works of the prophets were the result of the "actual" grace of God, while the "sanctifying" grace (which is the currency of heaven) later became available to the faithful only through the works of Jesus Christ. Yet, "actual" grace still operates, even in the presence of "sanctifying" grace. So, God's "economy of salvation" must be a bit more complicated than most people believe or understand.

Are we seeking to know how God and Jesus want us to be, nice! Or are we looking for all we can get plus take from every one

God does NOT just look at the intent of one's heart. Have you ever heard "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"?
2Sam 6:6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled. 7 The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God.
It appears that the ark was about to fall off the cart, but Uzzah kept that from happening. His intentions seem to be good. But God's rule was that only the Levites could touch the ark. He should have never even been close to it.
John 16:2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.
One can have certain honest intentions, but in fact be doing the exact opposite of what God wants. We have to go by God's word, not our feelings.

Who says Moses faith was built on works, this is a belief of the born again and jehovah witness faith. it is not correct at all God looks on the hearts of man, for if you have a good heart you will automatically do good works. You won't have to hound people to convert them to your faith. Jesus said do not transpose yourselves from house to house when preaching the good word but let the people come to you. That's pretty plain those who seek the truth are the ones who will hear and see.
