Sanitized Heart

“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?”Jeremiah 17:9

Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church  in Charlotte, North Carolina recently spoke of having a sanitized heart. Similar to how we are concerned about germs on our hands and squeeze tons of hand sanitizer to kill cooties we need to be equally or more concerned for our heart.

The verse today is pretty clear. Things enter into your heart through your eye and ear gates and many things could be stopped before they pollute both your heart and your mind. Wickedness is always just around the corner if it were not for the Holy Spirit and God’s grace. 

You keep your heart sanitized and pure by a steady daily diet of God’s word The Holy Bible. Don’t leave home without it seriously. It should be in every Christians ‘tool chest’ to help to gain strength and know how to overcome the many attacks from demonic spirits who are at work trying to drag believers into a pit. Paraphrasing Proverbs 4:23 keep  your heart pure for out of it flow the issues of life.

PRAYER: Jesus I need you each and every day to stay delivered from evil and to keep my heart pure and holy and set apart for you. Help me discipline myself unto godliness by the things I allow to go in my mind and heart that are not edifying.  In Jesus’ name. Amen.
