SEEING OUR HIDDEN HEART ATTITUDES

Recently the Lord revealed something in my heart that I was not aware of. Something harmful to me.

He showed me that I was avoiding listening to certain brothers and sisters in the Lord who had fallen into sin years ago.

I was sure that I didn't have a judgmental spirit.  I was wrong!

John 16:13-14

"However, when the Holy Spirit of truth, has come,  He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak;  He will tell you things to come.

He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is mine and declare it to you.

The Holy Spirit asked me why I avoided certain ministers, when they have repented and have been restored? Why was God's grace  good enough for me and not them? OUCH!

I had seen my self-righteousness  and judgmental spirit where they were concerned.

I asked God's forgiveness and thanked Him for allowing me to seen the crack in my door where the enemy could have an entrance and could have been harassing me.

I thanked the Lord for revealing this to me and thanked Him that Jesus paid for all my sins and mistakes, all my lack of love, He paid for it all.

Beloved, there are things hidden in our heart that we are not aware of yet.  

When the time is right the Holy Spirit will reveal them to us.

They can and will stunt our growth in the Lord.

Why would I believe God's grace was enough for my life and not theirs?

We have to be careful of what we think as it can effect our spiritual growth. 

Pride and self-righteousness can be  hidden in our heart and we are not aware of it until the Holy Spirit reveals it to us.

I had not bad mouthed these brothers and sisters who had fallen years ago, but I did have a hidden place in my heart to avoid them.

Thank God the Holy Spirit revealed this to me.

2Corinthians 4:16-18

Therefore we do not lose heart.  Even though our outward  man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

For our light affliction which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding eternal weight of glory,  while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.  For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Proverbs 4:20-23

My son, give attention to my words;  Incline your ear to my sayings.

Do not let them depart from your eyes;  Keep them in the midst of your heart;  For they are life to those who find them,  And health to all their flesh.

Keep your heart with all diligence,  For out of it spring the issues of life.


Beloved guard your heart.  Do a spiritual check-up often and make certain that you are not holding bad thoughts about anyone.

God's grace is  good enough for you, as it is for others.

We all have things in our heart and God allows us to grow to a certain place, then out of the blue the Holy Spirit who is our teacher will reveal something that we need to confront and deal with.

We don't realize that we give the enemy an entrance to our mind and life when we hold negative things in our heart towards others.

The enemy is always watching to see if we have given him  and his imps an entrance.

A place where they can harass us.

Ephesians 4:31

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger and clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted,  forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

God's word says He will complete that which He started in us.

Philippians 1:6

being confident of this thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Let his work begin.

BELOVED, KNOW THAT GOD'S GRACE IS FOR ALL OF US. His Mercy and compassion should be in our heart.

 He is working on all of us.


God Bless Your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Yes, many times, we think we are doing right. Pride gets us, and God allows something to happen to catch our attention. It hurts when it is revealed but then we are able to work on it and be aware of the issue. This happened to me recently. Thank you for sharing.

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
