Guard the Heart?

Proverbs chapter 17 verse 3:-   3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But Jehovah is the examiner of hearts.

What Exactly is Heart Condition?

It is not the outward appearances of someone but what a person really is inside, that's what really matters with God. For example a person can say that they love Jehovah, but what is that person really feeling, does he prove that love comes from the heart with actions that support his love for God? The figurative heart is the seat of motivation, we decide to act on something because our heart impels us!

A person with a good heart condition will have a driving need to learn all that he can about Jehovah, his Son, and his purposes. He will continually try to do all that is right in God's eyes without deviating, and he will use the avenue of prayer to seek forgiveness whenever he needs correcting by admitting his faults and sins, and will never try to hide anything from him.

Proverbs chapter 15 verse 14:-   14 The understanding heart seeks knowledge, But the mouth of the stupid feeds on foolishness.

Develop a Good Heart!

Anyone with the right heart condition will always be generous where other people are concerned, helping them when he can, also that person will have a need to tell others about their God and his Purposes, and wanting to share his or her life saving knowledge. If you are a servant of the true God, you will spend your life trying to help others come to know Jehovah and to serve him faithfully.

But when under pressure from others, it is often difficult not to react in an unchristian way. We are not perfect, and have a continual fight to do and act in a way that pleases our God, the sin that is in us all can sometimes resurface even though we always try to lead good and as near as possible faultless lives. The truth is however not quite as simple, we will fail many times, but that is what the ransom provided by Christ Jesus is all about. We can be forgiven almost any sin if we are truly repentant.

Luke chapter 6 verse 45:-   45 A good man brings good out of the good treasure of his heart, but a wicked man brings what is wicked out of his wicked treasure; for out of the heart’s abundance his mouth speaks.

The War of the Heart?

As has been said, the heart is the seat of motivation, but it also defines our attitude and helps us to remain humble in any given situation, the figurative heart also needs to be trained to know and help us practise what is right and proper, a well trained heart will enable us to show our love for Jehovah no matter what the trial may be!

We all need to be in complete control of our heart at all times, because it is not always simple to do what is right. Added to this problem is the interference of Satan and his demon followers, who will try by subtle means to undermine our faith, and affect our often troublesome control of our hearts.

Jeremiah chapter 17 verse 9:-    9 The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Who can know it?

Controlling the Heart.

While it is a fight to control your figurative heart, we can win that fight by staying close to Jehovah and his Son Jesus Christ through the avenue of prayer, for our worship of God is not routine, or based on ritual or on falsely held religious festivals and holidays. Our worship is based on knowledge we learn from God's word the Holy Scriptures, and we do not twist the scriptures to support our beliefs, and Love for Jehovah is also built on Knowledge and by our actions we prove our love, and this comes from a good heart condition coupled with a faith that cannot be broken!

Never allow yourself to doubt, study the scriptures daily, and seek help from the elders in your congregation when needed. Remember, we are not perfect, and there will be times when we need to strengthen our faith and improve our heart condition - With Jehovah's help we can do this, so never give up in doing what is right in God's eyes!

Proverbs chapter 4 verse 23:-   23 Above all the things that you guard, safeguard your heart, For out of it are the sources of life.

Conclusion:   Learn the truth about God and his Son from the Holy Bible, and not from the mouth of religious leaders, who teach lies and falsehoods! Always check what you are being told by finding out if the Bible supports what you have heard, because if it is not in the Bible then it is a lie.

There are many examples of false teachings that are held to be true by many so called Christian religions, but not one of these lies hold up when checked by study of God's word! The Holy Bible contains nothing but truth, whereas false religion contains nothing but lies! It is up to you as an individual to seek the truth about Jehovah and his Son, and then to change your life to serve God in the correct way. No one can make you do this, only your heart will impel you to try, always follow what you learn from God's word and work to develop the right heart condition, because this will eventually mean your life!

Proverbs chapter 10 verse 21:-   21 The lips of the righteous one nourish many, But the foolish die for lack of sense.- (or want of Heart).

Your Heart Means Life!
