Proverbs 4:23 What Is Pouring Out Of The Faucet Of My Heart

Proverbs 4:23-Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.

HEART- kardia in the greek and is define as the heart; mind, character, inner self, will, intention, center.

 "Above all else, make guarding your heart  a number one priority in your life. What we say, what we think, what we do, how we act, how we treat one another are all reflections of who we are and what is on the inside of us. Believe it or not, we all act in accordance to who we are.

Who we are flows from our heart into our behavior. Our moral conduct and actions is speaking from our heart. They are showing what is in our hearts. If the heart is pure, the life will be pure; if the heart is corrupt, the life will be corrupt.

The mind of a man reflects who he really is, not simply his actions or words. That is why God examines the heart of a man and not his outward appearance.

1 Samuel 16:7- But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

People of God, we must be diligent in guarding our hearts because the condition of our heart will affect everything from from thoughts, actions and behavior.

What is pouring out of the faucet of my heart? An attitude to build up or to tear down? To hurt or to help? Who is benefiting from what is being poured out of the faucet of my heart on a daily basis?

What is flowing from you? Ponder this question on today and if it is not the love of Christ, it is time to cry out to the Lord to "cleanse" your heart.

Remember! Guard your heart for out of it flows the issues of life.

God bless.

Luke 18:15-17 Bring The Children To Jesus

Luke 18:15-18- They also brought infants to Him that He might touch them. When the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Permit the little children to come to Me, and do not hinder them. For to such belongs the kingdom of God. 17 Truly, I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will in no wise enter it.”

Our Children also need a personal relationship with Jesus. It starts with us bringing them to Him. Taking them to church, Sunday School, vacation bible study , talking about Jesus at home, in the car, during meal times through prayer and at early morning getting up and lying down.

Your children will never know Jesus nor have a personal relationship with Him unless you introduce them to Him. It is your duty as a parent to do so. 

Parents, let our children hear us pray, let them see us read our bibles and let them see us in worship, singing and praising to the Lord our God. Let the Word of God be on our mouth, in your hearts and impress them upon your children. 

The parents in this text was bringing their children to Jesus and the disciples wanted to turn  them away, but Jesus rebuked them by saying "bring them unto me."

In a world of chaos and an arena of where conformity to the world is what's being promoted, we need to bring our children to Christ. Train them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Parents, do your part in planting the seed of God’s word into the hearts and minds of your children. If you do, God will do the rest. One water, one plant and God gives the increase.

Children are the greatest treasure even given to mankind. What are you doing with the treasure that has been given unto you?

We only get one chance to raise our children. Start while they are young by bringing them to Jesus. Make the Lord our God known unto them. NOW IS THE TIME!!

God bless.

Psalm 8:1-9 How Great Thou Art

Psalm 8:1-9 O Lord, our Lord,   how excellent is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength because of Your enemies, to silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established, 4 what is man that You are mindful of him,  and the son of man that You attend to him?

5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,  and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You have given him dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, 8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever travels the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!

GREAT AND MIGHTY IS OUR GOD!

1 Peter 5:7 Cast Your Worries On God

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.

Care=merima in the greek.  Worry,  burden or  anxiety about things pertaining to this earthly life.

Cares!  We all have them. Life happens to all of us! Trouble comes to all of us.

Whatever your emotional state may be on today,  it did not catch God by surprise. God knows everything before they even happen. God is Omniscience. He is the God who knows all things, including your emotions that seems to be running high in every direction right now.

Whatever concerns you concerns God. Whatever gets our attention gets God's attention.

When we cast our cares on God, He exchanges all our worries and fear for His peace and rest.

“Cast all your anxiety on God!” WHY? Because He cares for you.

Because God knew us even before we were formed, He knows what worries and hurts us and He is able to set us free from all of them when we by faith, cast them upon Him.

Cast your worries on God! Pour out your heart to Him in prayer on today. Cry if you have to cry, scream if you have to scream, but get it out of your system and cast it on God.

Since God cares for you, let him carry all your burdens and worries. He loves you and his heart is full with compassion for you. Run to Him on today for He is indeed a “burden bearer.”

God cares for and is concerned about you on today my brothers and sisters

My prayer today is that you would trust God and allow Him to be God in your life.

CAST YOUR CARES ON HIM! He bids you to come and bring them to Him on today.

God bless.

ISAIAH 55:6-7 SEEK NOW THE LORD WITH URGENCY

Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. 7-Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and return to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him , and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon Him. 

In a world full of confusion and chaos, now is the time to seek God like never before.

IN HIM!! Yes, In God alone is where everything that you stand in need of is available.

Do not look to the north, south, east or west, but look unto God who is the author and finisher of your faith. Draw nigh unto God and He will draw night unto you.

God alone is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think according to our faith.

To draw nigh unto God starts with an attitude of gratitude first. The time to seek God with URGENCY is now!!!

Time out for seeking other people, things, titles, material possession, conformity to the world, self help groups, etc. IT IS TIME TO SEEK THE LORD!!!! “Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save” (Ps. 146:3, NIV).

God is sending forth a clarion call to the world to the world, and He promises that if we seek Him, “we will find me when you seek me with all your heart” (Jer. 29:13NIV).

When you have spent your entire life seeking temporary things and never seeking God, where will you spend eternity?

Tomorrow is not promised and it may be too late for you. “How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog--it's here a little while, then it's gone” (Jas 4:14, NIV).

Seek the Lord while He may be found!

God bless.

Psalm 28:7 STRENGTH

Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.

Oh what a declaration!

The Psalmist, David declares on today that God is his inward strength when he is weak, his outward shield against fiery dots of the enemy and his provider of help when he is in need.

Because of who God is and what He is doing in his life, David declares that nothing but joy and songs of praise comes from the fruit of his lips to the Father. 

People of God, today is a day of rejoicing! The Lord our God covers us from the snares of the enemy. As my Pastor, Rev. Isaac J. Holt, Jr. would say "the enemy trap broke!” GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!

Knowing who our God is, we can find rest on today in a weary world. David rested in his God in the midst of trouble, for He had found God to be his strength, a shield and help in his time of need and trouble.

WHO IS LIKE OUR GOD? There is NONE like Him!

Open up your heart and let the King of glory come in. Psalm 24:10-Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty—  He is the King of glory.

People of God, open your mouth and sing a new song unto the Lord for He HAS BEEN and STILL IS  good to ALL of us.

In need of strength, a shield and help in your time of trouble? TRY JESUS FOR THERE IS NONE LIKE HIM!

God bless.

Luke 1:57-80 The Birth Of John The "Forerunner"

Luke 1:57-66 When Elizabeth’s son was born, 58 her neighbors and relatives heard how kind the Lord had been to her, and they too were glad.

59 Eight days later they did for the child what the Law of Moses commands.[f] They were going to name him Zechariah, after his father. 60 But Elizabeth said, “No! His name is John.”

61 The people argued, “No one in your family has ever been named John.” 62 So they motioned to Zechariah to find out what he wanted to name his son.

63 Zechariah asked for a writing tablet. Then he wrote, “His name is John.” Everyone was amazed. 64 Right away, Zechariah started speaking and praising God.

65 All the neighbors were frightened because of what had happened, and everywhere in the hill country people kept talking about these things.

66 Everyone who heard about this wondered what this child would grow up to be. They knew that the Lord was with him.

67 The Holy Spirit came upon Zechariah, and he began to speak:

68 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel! He has come to save his people. 

69 Our God has given us a mighty Savior[g from the family of David his servant.. 70 Long ago the Lord promised by the words of his holy prophets.  

71 to save us from our enemies and from everyone who hates us. 

72 God said he would be kind to our people and keep his sacred promise.   

73 He told our ancestor Abraham 74 that he would rescue us from our enemies. then we could serve Him without fear.
75 by being holy and good as long as we live.

76 You, my son, will be called a prophet of God in heaven above. You will go ahead of the Lord to get everything ready for him.  

77 You will tell his people that they can be saved when their sins are forgiven.  

78 God’s love and kindness will shine upon us like the sun that rises in the sky. 79 On us who live in the dark shadow of death this light will shine to guide us into a life of peace. 

80 As John grew up, God’s Spirit gave him great power. John lived in the desert until the time he was sent to the people of Israel.

God bless.
