Guard Your Heart
(Proverbs 4:23)
“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”
Introduction
Our heart is a treasure given to us by God. The devil exercises all sorts of means and ways to take this treasure away from us. We must keep this treasure, our heart. It would be a great mistake if you expect someone else to guard your heart.
1. Soul, treasure of the heart
1) Jesus forgave all the sins committed by our souls through the precious blood He shed on the Cross.
① He forgave all sins
② He calls us righteous ? We are in the state of not having committed a sin even once.
③ He makes us holy and pure ? and filled with the Holy Spirit
- Jesus already accomplished everything on the Cross.
Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it.
2) Think, dream about, have faith, and give thanks
3) And ask eagerly on this basis
2. Healthy consciousness in heart
1) Jesus’ ministry on Earth was focused on the forgiveness of sins and healing diseases.
2) Healing is one part of the grace of redemption
① By his wounds you have been healed.
② Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows.
3) Jesus already paid off the debt for all of our diseases.
- From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.
① Realize, think, dream, have faith, give thanks, and confess with your lips
② Ask for health and healing which are already accomplished in our heart
3. Prosperity consciousness in heart
1) The life of the rich given by God
① 2 Co 8:9 - for your sakes Jesus became poor
② Gal 3:13-14 - Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us
2) God is able to make all grace abound to you …
- Realize, think, dream, have faith, and proclaim
3) Pray so that things that have been already accomplished can be realized.
Conclusion
Ask for thought, dream, faith, and belief, which are consciousnesses telling us that we received forgiveness and righteousness in our heart. Ask for and proclaim that thought, dream, faith, and belief which are consciousnesses telling us that we have received healing and health in our heart. Think of, dream about, have faith on, and be certain of the fact that we have received blessings and richness as gifts and pray for it to be realized. Then, we can guard the blessings given to our hearts.
Think about things not yet to have materialized as if they already exist, draw pictures of them in your heart, have faith on it, confess with your lips, ask in prayer that they become realized. Then you can guard your heart and not lose the given blessings.
