GUARD THE SOURCE

“Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

PROVERBS 4:23 (KJV)

Our opening scripture lets us know what the source of our life experiences comes from – our heart. We probably didn’t expect it to be a product of our within; we may have thought that our experiences in life come from the realities around us, but no, they come right from within us.

A constant activity of the heart of man is “believing”. The heart of man is an organ of believing. Scripture says that with the heart man believes unto righteousness. This is no further from the truth that what we believe determines our experiences. We cannot believe a thing if we do not hear about it; and that was the reason Jesus said, be careful what you hear and how you hear.

If we are careful about what we hear we will not give attention to wrong information or ill information; should it be that we had no control over our hearing the matter, how you hear comes into perspective. Do you hear with a heart to believe? Or do you hear with a heart to disbelief?

That a report is valid does not put us under compulsion to believe it. Throw deaf hears to reports of poverty, economic issues, disappointments, sickness etc.; should you hear about them do not believe them. You have a choice over what you believe. Guard your heart from negative information.

The moment you believe what is not consistent with God’s word you permit it to become a reality in your life, and sooner you will find yourself talking persuasively about it. Believe the report of God over your health, finances, marriage, ministry, business etc. and watch to see them become your realities.
