Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23
A person can suffer from a physical heart blockage that results in surgery, medication, or death. But were you aware your spiritual heart can be blocked too?
If you do a word search on the word ‘heart’ in the Bible you come up with many things telling you to keep a guard on your heart. Satan would love to capture your heart or even just a tiny portion of it because if he succeeds you then start compromising evil and things you know deep down are not right for a child of God. For instance allowing the culture to shape you instead of God’s word.
So how do you go about guarding your heart? First it needs a good dose of heartfelt scripture in it daily. Only through the word can you defeat the devil and send him packing. Next you need to be careful what things you allow into it such as types of movies you choose to watch, Tv shows, games you may play, books and magazines you read, music you listen to, basically anything that enters the ear gates or eye gates which gets into your soul and spirit. You will be tempted to compromise, make excuses, or blow it off by saying it is entertainment but alas you must be vigilant and aware of the enemies devices to capture your heart. Stand strong my friend!
PRAYER: Father God I come to you on behalf of those I know who may have been tricked into believing lies which have entered their heart and tried to get them on the enemies side. I pray for myself to be aware of Satan’s devices and not be led astray. I want you to have my entire heart pure and holy set apart for you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
