The Heart of the Matter.

                                                                  The Heart of the Matter.


The Heart of the Matter is the “Heart/Mind”.


More than anything you guard, “protect your mind (heart)”, for life flows from it.  (Proverbs 4:23)

The heart (mind) is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?  (Jeremiah 17:9)


When the Heart of the Matter is Right; “The Matter Will Be Right”.


Our Daily Nugget

is God letting us know the importance of having a “Right Heart/Mind”.  The heart/mind that we are born with is “deceitful above all things” and our heart/mind is “desperately wicked”.  Most of us would not consider ourselves in such a horrible shape; but we are.


We are not good!  The Bible makes it plain; we are born in sin and shaped in iniquity.  We are born selfish and inconsiderate; without a new heart/mind, we will live and die selfish and inconsiderate.


The Lord Gives Kingdom Citizens a “New Heart/Mind”.


I will give you a “New Heart (Mind) and put a new spirit within you”; I will take the “heart (mind) of stone” out of your flesh and give you a “Heart (mind) of flesh.  (Ezekiel 36:26). This occurs when we are Born Again.


With a new heart/mind “What We Think” will produce “Righteous Thoughts”.  Our thoughts are the beginning of What we Do and What we Don’t Do.  Look at what Solomon said about the “Heart/Mind/Thinking”.


As a man “Thinks in his Heart (Mind)”, So Is He.  (Proverbs 23:7)


We protect our heart/mind by consuming the Right Information into our Heart/Mind.  The Bible is the source of our “Right Information”.  We must hold everything up to the Light of God’s Word. What occurs in our heart/mind is “Spiritual Activity”; the Spirit World “Controls the Physical World”.  Trusting God is Spiritual Activity; the fruit of this spiritual activity unfolds in Holy Living.


 We Control What we Think, then, What we Think Controls Us!


The Heart of the Matter, “Is The Heart”!

Don't Let Go!

                                                                     Don’t Let Go!                                            The Wisdom In Persistence!   And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him “until the breaking of the day”.  Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken”.  But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me”. (Genesis 32:24 & 26)   How Bad Do You Want It? Don’t Let Go Until You Get Your Blessing!   Our Daily Nugget  is Jacob being in a Wrestling Match with an Angel, all night long.  The Angel hit Jacob on his hip and made him limp.  But Jacob would not let him go, even after he asked Jacob...

Clutter!

                                                                              Clutter!   The Demon of “Clutter”?   A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.  (Ecc. 3:6) The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.   (Luke 8:14) There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches “kept” for the owners thereof to their hurt.  (Ecc. 5:13)   It Is Better to “Give than to Receive”; “Giving Prevents Clutter & Hoarding”.   Clutter and hoarding prevent Order. In the absence of Order, there will be  “Disorder”. Clutter and hoarding will lead to Disorder, they can be physical...

Rely On Faith.

                                                                                       Rely On Faith. And We Will Be Blessed like Abraham.   Understand, then, that those who have “Faith” are children of Abraham.  Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by “Faith” and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham:  “All nations will be blessed through you”.  So those who “Rely On Faith” are blessed along with Abraham, the man of Faith. (Galatians 3:7-9)   Our Measure of Faith is Sufficient. We “Exercise our Faith” when we “Rely on Faith”!   God choose to Bless all people through Abraham, our Father of Faith. Know and understand Faith.  Faith or Works of the Law? ...
