Psalms 119:11 KJV
There is a complete difference in "head knowledge" and "heart knowledge". You can read and even memorize The Word of God, but until you get it in your heart, all of your discipline is for naught!
“O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Matthew 12:34 KJV
What you have in your heart is what you talk about all day long! It's what you post on Facebook! What you find interesting; what you desire. What you deem most important is what comes out your mouth! IT is what HAS your heart!
You can go to church, believe you are saved, call yourself a Christian, but if you live like the world, and desire the things of the world then you are deceived!
Examine your heart!
Is your heart's desire for a greater understanding of the things of God or to see the latest movie out of Hollywood or the next concert of your favorite artist? Do you spend hours reading the number one best seller? Do you spend half a day shopping for the latest fashion or look at magazines for the newest car? Is sports your thing? What is your desire? What do you dream about?
When was the last time you got up early to spend an hour or more reading your Bible? Is sleep more important than time spent with your Creator?
Your flesh will not want to sacrifice sleep, time, entertainment, or enjoyment for God things! It will make every excuse to keep you distracted; to keep you from developing a true relationship with The Lover of your soul! It takes a concerted effort on your part to make your relationship solid! He's available! Are you?
Examine your heart!
“Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.” Psalms 119:37 KJV (NKJV says: looking at worthless things)
“Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.” Psalms 119:18 KJV
Jesus HAS to be THE principle purpose of your life!
“Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.” Psalms 119:2 KJV
“I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.” Psalms 119:16 KJV
It's never too late to turn your life around! Are you ready to repent?
* "Let's Pray: Lord, I confess that I have been blinded by my rebellion and received lies from the enemy. I have felt secure in my sins, but the covers have been jerked off of me and I sit here naked and transparent before You. I repent for my sins and plead for your mercy and grace. Lord, restore my first love. Soften my hardened and cold heart. Please give me ears to hear, eyes to see and a heart that wants only to please you. I confess I have been pleasing myself and have only been giving You token amounts of obedience. Lord wash me, cleanse me, change me; so that I will walk in Your kind of love. Amen"
Even so - MARANATHA!
From 3/8/15
