Good Morning Wednesday...
Father thank You for this NEW DAY. Please impart in our hearts YOUR WILL. We ask for Patience, Kindness, Humility, and Truth so we may show You and Your Son's Light in this fallen world. In Yeshua, JESUS CHRIST's Name, amen. - Don't Trust Your Heart! Trust Your Disciplined And Godly Transformed Mind: Part 1 The world is full of lies. The world propagates these lies over and over so that we believe them. In the study of mind control, hypnosis, and brain washing, there is one element that is required. Repetition. The enemy knows that if you hear something over and over, hear it repeated by friends and family, and hear it from the idols of the world such as musicians in secular music, you will believe them eventually and you may not even know where you received this advice. The fact is, we believe these things sometimes just because so many people have said it and it becomes ingrained in our mind. This is one of the biggest reasons God's Word Tells us to test EVERYTHING against The Word. When we do, many times, we will find what we have "learned" from popular culture is completely opposite from what The Bible teaches us. How many times have you heard song lyrics such as: "Listen to your heart," "the heart don't lie," "follow your heart," and we could go on and on. Now, with that in mind, today let's take a look at what Our Father's Word tells us about our hearts.: ““The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 17:9-10 NKJV “Above everything else, guard your heart; for it is the source of life’s consequences.” Mishlei (Proverbs) 4:23 CJB “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded!” James 4:8 LEB “But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile the person. For from the heart come evil plans, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, abusive speech. These are the things that defile a person. But eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person!”” Matthew 15:18-20 LEB So we can see, trusting our hearts can be dangerous business. Our hearts follow in line with moods, emotional outbursts, over passionate relationships that aren't healthy, and a myriad of other "defiling" behaviors. In the verses above we are told to not trust our hearts, guard our hearts, purify our hearts, and Yeshua Jesus Christ Himself tells us things come out of the heart such as: evil plans, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, and abusive speech. Why in the world would we trust our hearts?! The answer, definitely is that we shouldn't. So how do we fight against this "deceitful heart" we have been given? With a disciplined, Word Filled, and Transformed Mind. We will talk more about this tomorrow. Today, I encourage everyone to evaluate the decisions they have made with their heart. What was the outcome? Where did it lead? Have the decisions you made based on passion helped or hurt your prosperity? Have you told a friend or your children to follow their heart? Has someone told you recently to follow your heart? Beware, the enemy is prowling around. I pray that we all start to question the fake wisdom this world is providing and begin looking towards The Truth. When we arm ourselves with Truth, God's Word, the enemy's deception is easy to spot. With God's Word as our guide, we can all begin to lead more Love Filled, Prosperous, and Peaceful Lives. God Bless everyone and have a Great God-Filled Day.
