THE HEART


 



THE HEART

 

Jer17:9 “THE HEART is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

 

Ps51:10 “Create in me a CLEAN HEART, O God; and renew a right spirit within me”

 

 

Eze36:26-27 “…I will give you a NEW HEART and put a new spirit within you…”

 

Pr3:5AMPC. “Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord WITH ALL YOUR HEART and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.”

 

 

Heb10:22 “Let us draw near with a TRUE HEART in full assurance of faith…”

 

 

Ps119:11 “Thy word have I hid in MINE HEART, that I might not sin against thee”

 

 

Deut30:10-14AMP

“For this commandment which I am commanding you today…

·      is not too difficult for you, 

·      nor is it far off… out of reach. 

·      It is not [a secret hidden] in heaven, 

that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and obey it?’ 

·      Nor is it beyond the sea, 

that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and obey it?’ 

·      But the word is very near you, 

in your mouth

and IN YOUR HEART, 

so that you may obey it.

 

 

In Rom10:6-10 Paul uses the above verses, instructing:

 

"Do not say IN YOUR HEART, 

·      'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 

·      or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 

But what does (righteousness by faith) say? 

‘The word is near you, 

in your mouth

and IN YOUR HEART’

(that is, the word of faith which we preach)”

 

 

ALL the promises of God are NEAR… 

NOW… 

YES AND SO-BE-IT! (2Cor1:20)

 

"As he (anyone) thinks IN HIS HEART... so is he" (Pr23:7)

 

 

Ps116:10 “I BELIEVED, therefore have I SPOKEN.

 

 

"out of the abundance OF THE HEART a man SPEAKS" (Mtt12:34; Lk6:45)

 

 

AND...

 

 “if you do not doubt IN YOUR HEART... 

you SHALL have 

whatsoever you SAY” (Mk11:23)

 

 

SO...

 

“GUARD YOUR HEART with all diligence, for out of it FLOWS the issues of life” (Pr4:23)

THE FOOD PRAYER

Image
  THE FOOD PRAYER   Paul, on the topic of abstaining from certain foods, explicitly tells Timothy, “…For EVERYTHING God has created is GOOD , and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with GRATITUDE ; for it is SANCTIFIED [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the WORD OF GOD and PRAYER .” (1Ti4:4-5AMP)     Most of us have been taught from a young age to pray for our food. We don't necessarily know “WHY”… BUT WE DO IT… …even into our old age, knowing it is something “proper” to be done, becoming just another thoughtless, religious mantra chanted as a precursor to satiating our appetite.   We have even invented clever, rhyming “prayers” easily remembered and quoted by children. The one my dad taught me:                    “Down with your head… up with your paws… thank the good Lord for the use of your jaws”     Now… was I receiving that bologna sandwich with gratitude?    ...

THE DAILY LOAD

  THE DAILY LOAD   “Blessed be the Lord Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah” (Ps68:19)   The word, “selah” is used throughout the Psalms and other Hebrew music and poetry as a notation similar to “a rest” in our modern music. However, it indicates a broader word picture of… “to pause and consider or reflect in order to lift up and exalt the topic just sung or played.”   So… that is exactly what I did after reading this verse… I SELAH’D… meditating on each word and phrase to get the thought, intent, purpose, and motive infused into what was said: ·        Blessed – to offer gratitude with a physical expression of submission, humility, and reverence in relationship during prayer and worship. ·        Lord - Adonay – the ONLY ONE with sovereign power, majesty, and undisputed right of decision ·        Daily – day to day to day… ad infinitum [Lam3:22...

The Perfect Will of God

  The Perfect Will of God   Rom12:2  “…Do not be CONFORMED to this WORLD , but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND , that you may PROVE WHAT IS that GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL OF GOD .”   I was always taught that there were three different WILLS of God… And you are placed in one WILL or another determined by your maturity level, your faith, and your closeness to God.   However… let's dissect this verse to clearly see the intent behind each part.   ·        CONFORMED – properly means: assuming a similar  outward  form (expression) by following the same  pattern  (model, mold). ·        WORLD - properly, an  age  ( era , "time-span"),  characterized by a specific quality  (type) of existence ·        TRANSFORMED - metamorphóō - changing form or shape in keeping with a transformed inner reality...
