TRUST HIS HEART
TRUST HIS HEART by Babbie Mason touched my heart. It was God’s plan for this article because this video follows the course I just completed on Relationship with God – Hardness of HEART by Andrew Wommack. Unlike my STUDENT STATUS at Charis Bible College, this link is to FREE TEACHINGS that will change your HARDENED HEART!
Welcome to 2022. 2021 is now history and 2022 is ahead of us. A new year with new opportunities for us to TRUST HIS HEART and follow his plan for our life.
The HEART was the theme of the lesson and of this song. That word took me on a journey of understanding GOD’s HEART. It led me to more videos that express the HEART of this song. The videos are attached to each phase of the lyrics. As with this song, they brought tears to my eyes.
HEART: PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL
(My EMPHASIS on the word HEART in CAPS and BOLD)
HEART: A hollow muscular organ that pumps the blood through the circulatory system in rhythmic contraction and dilation.
LOVE: The HEART is regarded as the center of a person’s thoughts and emotions, especially LOVE, compassion, or loyalty.
As a result of this study on the HEART, I pulled from 242 handwritten notes (basically transcribe the lesson) about His HEART and our HEART. The word HEART set my mind swirling with scriptures, but this one clearly popped off the page at me.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Therefore, when we THINK about the word HEART, we THINK about the organ that pumps blood through our veins. And, we also think about the LOVE part of this organ as in Valentine’s Day RED HEART / RED ROSES that represents LOVE.
WHAT WE THINK ABOUT WE BRING ABOUT
In fact, the Bible considers the HEART to be the hub of human personality, producing the things we would ordinarily ascribe to the “mind” and “emotions.”
DESIRES
MATTHEW 5:8 Blessed are the pure in HEART; for they shall see God.
FAITH AND BELIEF
HEBREWS 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil HEART of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
ROMANS 10:10 For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
MARK 11:23 For verify I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his HEART, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
HEART EMOTIONS
GRIEF
JOHN 14:1 Let not your HEART be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.
JOY
EPHESIANS 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your HEART to the Lord.
THOUGHTS AND REASONING
GENESIS 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his HEART was only evil continually.
HEBREWS 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the HEART.
UNDERSTANDING
ISAIAH 6:10 Make the HEART of his people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their years, and understand with their HEART, and convert and be healed.
MATTHEW 13:15 For this people’s HEART is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their HEART, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
In fact, there are also two types of heart that also affects all of us:
WHICH HEART DO YOU HAVE TOWARD GOD?
SENSITIVE HEART TOWARD GOD
God can use a sensitive HEART in a mighty way. It is a HEART that seeks after and focuses on God’s love for us. But, it just needs some learning, growing, and appreciation for how God designed sensitivity to flourish.
Therefore, when we focus our SENSITIVE HEART on the WORD, we are reminded of how much GOD LOVES US! GOD’S LOVE LETTER TO YOU. There are 48 scriptures in this LOVE LETTER regarding his HEART for us.
HARDENED HEART toward GOD. Jesus tells us that all our thoughts and actions – good or bad – begins in the HEART. A hardened HEART is cold, incentive, unfeeling, and unyielding to the things of God.
In essence, when we have a HARDENED HEART, we change our FOCUS from GOD onto the situation. Instead of seeing through our spiritual eyes and hearing through our spiritual ears (born-again), we only see and hear through our physical eyes and ears.
In other words, A HARDENED HEART is also a HEART of UNBELIEF. It is surprised to see MIRACLES happen instead of expecting them.
In fact, Jesus’ disciples SAW with their physical eyes the many miracles of Jesus (multiplication of bread and fish, healing of the sick), but they still had UNBELIEF to see Jesus walking on water Matthew 14:22-33 and when JESUS healed the boy with the demons LUKE 9:40-44.
Overall, TRUST HIS HEART painted a picture of the SENSITIVE and HARDENED HEART for me.
ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD
- ALL THINGS WORK FOR OUR GOOD
- THOUGH SOMETIMES WE DON’T SEE
- HOW THEY COULD
- STRUGGLES THAT BREAK OUR HEARTS IN TWO
- SOMETIMES BLIND US TO THE TRUTH
ROMANS 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.
LUKE 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his HEART bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his HEART bringeth forth that which is evil; for of the abundance of the HEART his mouth speaketh.
REMEMBER YOU ARE NEVER ALONE
- OUR FATHER KNOWS WHAT’S BEST FOR US
- HIS WAYS ARE NOT OUR OWN
- SO WHEN YOUR PATHWAY GROWS DIM
- AND YOU DON’T SEE HIM
- REMEMBER YOU’RE NEVER ALONE
Joshua 1:9 This is my command – be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Psalm 94:14 The Lord will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession.
SO DON’T LIVE AS THOSE WHO HAVE NO HOPE
- HE SEES THE MASTER PLAN
- AND HE HOLDS OUR FUTURE IN HIS HAND,
- SO DON’T LIVE AS THOSE WHO HAVE NO HOPE,
- ALL OUR HOPE IS FOUND IN HIM.
PSALM 62:5 Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him
TO SOMEDAY BE JUST LIKE HIM
- WE SEE THE PRESENT CLEARLY
- BUT HE SEES THE FIRST AND THE LAST
- AND LIKE A TAPESTRY, HE’S WEAVING YOU AND ME,
- TO SOMEDAY BE JUST LIKE HIM.
1 JOHN 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
HE ALONE IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE
- HE ALONE IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE; KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU
DEUTERONOMY 7:9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the FAITHFUL God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.
JOHN 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is TRUE..
- GOD IS TOO WISE TO BE MISTAKEN; TOO GOOD TO BE UNKIND
- SO WHEN YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
- WHEN YOU DON’T SEE HIS PLAN; CAN’T TRACE HIS HAND
- TRUST HIS HEART.
- WHEN YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND; DON’T SEE HIS PLAN; CAN’T TRACE HIS HAND
- TRUST HIS HEART
IN CONCLUSION
To clarify, God directs our steps to enhance our knowledge of Him. I had no idea what my first article for 2022 would be, but GOD did. And through the lyrics of all the attached songs, my heart has become MORE SENSITIVE towards GOD. His LOVE of you and me knows no bounds.
In other words, we need to take a serious look at our HEART to determine its HARDNESS toward God. We need to focus on the WORD and not on the WORLD. The WORD will get us to heaven, but the WORLD will take us to somewhere we do not want to live for Eternity.
Therefore, we can not live in this world alone; we need GOD in our lives every day. His WORD needs to feed our HEART daily, make it SENSITIVE TO HIS promises given to those who LOVE HIM. I hope this article feeds your heart and encourages you to take a look at your HEART.
In conclusion, the article that you just read proves you have a SENSITIVE HEART toward God. You are SEEKING to know HIM better. Each day you are discovering new and precious examples in the WORD that GOD is FAITHFUL and TRUE and that you can TRUST HIS HEART.
I hope and pray that 2022 will make our HEARTS more SENSITIVE toward GOD with fresh revelations of HIS LOVE for us.
