Heart housekeeping
Proverbs 4:7, Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men
Proverbs 23:7a For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he
* The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
* You have the power over your mind _ _ _ not over the outside events in your life.
* Your life is what your thoughts make it.
HOUSEKEEPING OF THE HEART
Matthew 23:23-31 vs.28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
What is the only way to get a clean heart? Titus 3:3-6. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost: Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior:
After we have put our faith in Jesus Christ John 3:16. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
How do we keep our heart clean? 1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleans us from all unrighteousness.
We must make our choices daily. When we wake in the morning, we put on our person, who we will be and how we are going to react to how others in our day. It is our choice, not theirs.
For a good , happy rejoiceful day our heart must be cleansed and filled with joy from the Spirit. Put off all darkness and things dragging you down.
Follow your heart and feed your Spirit daily. Just as you daily feed your body and mind, so must our hearts be feed from God’s Holy Word. Walking continually (Not Daily) in prayer. Ready and wiling to listen, hear and obey what He is telling us.
HOW’S YOUR DAY---YOUR CHOICE
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Carnal, soothing, flattering doctrines of those who oppose the truth lead us to stray, cause us to fall short of our mark. Beware as some of their part temper and conduct is contrary to the mind of Christ
Any opinion not from God, Leads to sin
We must daily remember before our feet hit the floor in the morning to acknowledge our Lord Jesus Christ, To thank Him for the Morning, and that all things today ca be used to build and edify our walk with Him. That we may accept all things today with a joyful attitude, Trusting that all things done in Christ works for good. That unaware unto us, others are watching and measuring our walk, That we may not become a stumbling block to those measuring our life daily. That whoever measures may find us full of God’s heavenly grace. On the right trail and that by our walk, and daily testimony, We may be able to lead them to Christ.
When we find ourselves wanting, falling short of the mark put before us. When we feel that we have been left behind and can n longer hear from our Father in heaven. FALL on your knees, Seek His face. Find out what, where, when and how you have failed Him, then Repent. Confess to our Savior the sin that has come between . Daily thereafter continue to pray for the strength to overcome, Daily power to face and have power of self control over what ills your spirit. We must remember to daily pt on our Savior, To wear the love (Charity) that He had for others. To reach out however He leads us. Helping Hands, Word, Intercession Prayer. However He leads, we must find ourselves willing to obey. We must get in the Word and learn to live and show others how He lived and would have for us too.
Measure what others would lead, Measure all with His Holy Word. If it does not line up with the Scriptures the throw it away, Run don’t walk from all that would be but is false. Do not entertain whatever is fake. Be found willing.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY
