HOW'S YOUR HEART
THE WORD OF GOD ASK US TO GUARD OUR HEARTS!\
Proverbs 4:23
King James Version (KJV)
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Whether physical or spiritual we must take care of our Heart Health!
It is said that eating tomatoes help prevent heart disease as the inside of the tomato resembles the heart with it's chambers and rich red color.
TODAY'S FOCUS: HOW'S YOUR SPIRITUAL HEART HEALTH?
Hebrews 4:12
King James Version (KJV)
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Using the scalpel of the word in the scripture quoted let's do a Spiritual heart checkup?
1. How's your pulse?
- Are you quick to judge, condemn, criticize, gossip or speak evil of others?
- A "Captive Spirit" - substance abuse, sex and pornography and other immoral thoughts, hatred, unforgiveness, lack of compassion etc...
- A "Slumbering Spirit" - self pity, lack of nurturing, abuse, trauma, repressed emotions or dissasociation from negative effects of life
- An "Orphan Spirit" - Wounds from deep feelings of emotional abandonment, fiercely independent, trust and relationship issues other scars and self inflicted wounds.
- What's clogging you up?
- What baggage are you carrying?
- Who are you carrying?
As we look at such a deep subject and the questions posed above, we know and we can say most of our physical heart issues are matters of the heart.
Let's use the scalpel apply the word of God and as our eyes of our understanding are being enlightened let's ask God for help and truly leave the matters of the heart up to Him.
Today, let God's word be your medicine.....

Pastor Rhymer you said alot which is terribly true. Thank you for reminding me about matters of the heart. I can live without other parts but can't live w/o the heart. I want to stay "heart alert " compassionate & forgiving & the infilling of the Holy Ghost makes room for me to make it easy. If anyone of your have not been baptized with the gift of the Holy Ghost, everything
ReplyDeletewill be more difficult than it seem. The Holy Ghost makes the heart easy, loving...a heart like Jesus
