The word for today is - Heart !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Heart !

 

Let's look at the heart, most people who "asked Jesus into their hearts" will admit that one of God's requirements is faith. Let's look at Hebrews 11:6,"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God ,must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Those who ask Jesus into their hearts usually do so through prayer, asking God to forgive them. Prayer is good ! Let's look what the Lord says in Matthew 7:21, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." This means do what He says in the word from God. Also, read Matthew 10:32-33, "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." Did you get that?  publicly acknowledge or speak of the goodness of Jesus and all He has done for us. Read Proverbs 4:23,Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. We must set a strict guard upon our souls; keep our hearts right and from getting hurt. A good reason is given; because out of it are the issues of life. Above all, we should seek from the Lord Jesus that living water, the sanctifying Spirit, issuing forth unto everlasting life. We should be asking the Lord to enable us to follow you more closely for the time to come. We need your Spirit in our hearts. What's in your heart today is it, Love or envy,evil ,or ____ ? go to the Lord in prayer and get right. Read Philippians 4:6,Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. God needs not to be told about our wants or desires; he knows them better than we do; but he will have us show that we value the mercy,grace and feel our dependence on him. Who are you depend on ?  Read James 3:13-18,Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. This is the key, read James 4:7-8,Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
