The power of the human heart! Guard your heart with all diligence

Matthew 15:18-20

18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

KJV

Jesus said the heart is so powerful

that it is what comes out of a man that defiles or deifies him (my paraphrase of verses 18-20 of Matthew 15).

For instance, what would make a man so bitter that he would take out a gun and kill many souls? The deadliest shooting in US history was in Las Vegas last year in 2017.

Don't forget the planes that were hijacked and rammed into one of the tallest buildings in the world in 2001

which killed thousands of souls!

I remember seeing ISIS killers beheading Christians and journalists on TV! What a world! Oh, the heat of man!

The power of the human heart was revealed

when another terrorist rammed his hired van into a crowd in New York City!

Note that all these wicked acts, the thoughts to do evil started from the heart!

In this year 2018, watch your heart/thoughts!

Feeling of depression, self-pity, comparing yourself to others, discouragement

quitting that job, ministry, marriage, church or business are all products of the heart! The human heart is so powerful! Anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, murmuring e.t.c, all begins from the heart.

Build a strong fortress and fence daily around it this year! Proverbs 4:23 declares, Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it proceeds the issues of life and death. May you not be a slave to idle and wicked thoughts this year! May fresh thoughts of power and purity be your companion! May thoughts of new beginnings and fresh financial/prosperity ideas flood your soul!

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he; so push your thoughts to turn your life into celebrated fortune and not a failure!

After your done reading this article,

write on paper all the thoughts that you will never allow into your heart again,

particularly thoughts that have never produced;

holiness, power, courage, prosperity, love and such like.

Write down also the kind of person you want to become in the next 10 years.

Start reading scriptures and thinking powerful thoughts along that line,

for as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

If you find it difficult controlling what you think,

see your pastor immediately or a spiritual Leader.

Negative thinking is the architect of a negative year. Stay blessed
