We are going to carry on with engaging God looking at the pathway of relationship. we are getting to the end of that pathway, deeper intimacy with God flowing from inside out from heaven through the gateways of our spirit soul and body to the world around us and we are going to look at the fact that there is depths of relationship on this pathway that most of us have yet to discover in fact if we are going to discover God we are going to go on for a long time in depths of relationship and so were at the point where we we’ve covered various aspects of the gateways of spirit soul body and now we are looking at the four chambers of the heart looking at the fact that we are body soul and spirit that each of those has different senses or gateways that flow in either direction and we need to see it flow from the inside out.
three-dimensionally our spirit is what enables us to be God conscious our soul self-conscious and our body world conscious.
We have three consciousnesses.
and ideally as we engage God in first Love. the place where he is in us, the kingdom of God in us, we open that first Love gate and we can see the river of life flowing out and we want it to flow out through our spirit to engage our soul and we’ve actually seen that their various things that are hindrances and blockages to that, familiar spirits different things that in this series we look to remove so now effectively we can flow from one to the other. So we looked at the ketubah the marriage contract and how that is the foundation to following this process in engaging with God in intimacy and we are now going to go on to the garden of the heart. I think I will cover essentially three sessions and I will only do three sessions so we are going to look at the heart today and and then go on to look at how we prepare our heart and then tending and cultivating our heart and engaging God through that. so relationship intimacy are been perfectly expressed in eternity between father-son Holy Spirit that is the perfect expression of relationship intimacy that we can find. perfect love joy peace they’re all expressed in that eternal relationship and God has desired to share that relationship with us so he spoke the created order everything into existence including us. so our spirits were created in God’s heart from the thoughts of his mind and he spoke us into being before he ever created the world or anything for our spirits to come into. So we have a preexistent spiritual relationship with God unfortunately we don’t remember it because of what happened when our spirit comes into our body separated from God .2:53
so our spirits have experienced this amazing love and we can reconnect with that we have been separated from the memories that are spirit has because of sin but we can rediscover that eternal love, the relationship that we can find in God’s heart we can actually engage in eternity but it is easier to begin to engage God in our own heart to prepare us to go back in his heart, it is quite a jump from where we are to go back into eternity and engage God’s heart there without first engaging with the relationship within our spirit and then in our own hearts and then we can begin to reconnect everything together so we sing a song or sometimes things sang last week so .see the way he holds the stars in his hands, so in a sense he created everything but see the way he holds my heart so there’s the transcendence and the amazing sense that God is created everything, and he is infinite and eternal and yet there’s the eminence in which he holds my heart. Just wondering in your thought you have wanted me just one pulse of your heart you are wooing me and there’s a sense where God wants our hearts and he wants us to engage his heart. For God is a lover looking for a lover so he fashioned me. God is a lover looking for a lover so he formed my heart. So God is created us with a heart so that we can engage in a love relationship with him. That relationship is a most important purpose that our heart has. And everything else should flow out of that relationship. And if we don’t have that relationship, that is when the problems occur in our life because our soul in a sense either flows from the inside out or it flows from the outside in.
There is a two way flow into our soul. Things can flow into our soul from the outside in, causing damage. And the life of God can flow through our spirit into our soul causing healing.
and that is the to pathways we can follow. the pathway the tree of life from the heavenly pathway, or pathway of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil 4.57
We are either walking on two pathways, living unto ourselves, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the broad highway, Or the narrow pathway of walking in the spirit, the tree of life.
So God created man in his image and likeness for relationship that is his whole primary purpose. Ecclesiastes 311 he is made everything appropriate in it’s time he is also set eternity in their heart so essentially God is created everyone with eternity or a God -shaped hole in our heart a desire to go back to where we were created in our spirit.
That desire for relationship will look to engage the deepest parts of us because deep within us we have a need for relationship. The desire drives us, that’s why it drives us to draw from the outside in, when we got no connection to the inside out for God’s life to flow out. And that’s what created most of the problems in our lives.
So we all need to engage that eternal relationship with God the desire for Love, joy, peace is a driving force in all of our lives, so much so it will cause us to seek things in the wrong places, because we have a real need. But God gave us the need, but he wants us to find in him. We can only really experience our needs and desires being fully met in a relationship with God, who is our creator and would-be lover. He wants to love us and he wants us to love him.
so that amazing love relationship is really about going deeper and deeper and deeper beyond what we can imagine and think, because that comes from what we’ve experienced in our lives. And that’s a limitation that we often put on God because of our life experiences and probably because most of them have been damaging, a lot of have been damaging, and this affects how we engage with God himself.
God wants to restore us, he wants to restore our relationships, and he wants to restore our emotions, our heart, so that we can experience him in a deeper and deeper way. So God has always done everything possible so that people can be in relationship with him.
Even when Adam and Eve messed up, he has created a way of restoration. Our enemy the devil who broke relationship with God has used religion to misrepresent that relationship. So all the way through, the enemy has tried to misrepresent God and present God as someone who he isn’t. In that misrepresentation we often get drawn into religious dead works to try and earn a relationship with God. But God has given us a free relationship with him based on faith through grace. The enemy makes out that God is angry to be feared, harsh, waiting to punish us and we need to debunk ( expose and discredit- to show that it is wrong-false)all those lies.
And the only way you can do that is to experience who God really is and to experience his love and to experience his joy and peace and all the things he wants us to have in relationship. That’s the only way we can break the religious models or molds that a lot of us have experienced in our lives.
So God gave us our heart to be a place of union, union where body and spirit are connected, And union where spirit and God are connected. So the union of soul spirit and God, just like God walked with Adam and Eve in relationship, he wants to have an intimate walk with us. God created a garden for them to do that.
Our heart is the place where that union and communion can take place, that intimacy. And the heart is in a sense is a representation of what God created in A physical garden. that now is not a physical place but is a place within us where we can have that place of intimacy and walk with God. So the key is to restore spirit and soul to become reintegrated in oneness unison unity and when we are restored spirit and soul we can then begin to live in dual realms. When were are not restored spirit and soul, then our soul tends to take the dominant place and wants to be in control .and that means our soul through fear won’t let our spirit engage heaven without being there and I have been through that whole journey and process myself.9:20
I’ll share it in a bit more detail when we look at the bridal chamber so engaging in the process prepares us for intimacy as God always intended and it correlates with the four chambers of the heart which is about restoration and intimacy. bringing us back spirit soul and body into complete union in oneness with ourselves and with God himself and with creation. Because he’s created us to answer creation’s groaning. To bring order to creation to bring creation into alignment with heaven is always been his intention. The man was created a living being sinless but not perfected he would still have to been conformed to the image of Jesus sonship. And sonship was the goal were God wanted a relationship with sons.
In order to be a son of God we have to be born a human being. Planet earth has just the right conditions to produce sons of God. It enables us to have to press into god, to develop his attributes.
So man through sin became a human being, where our spirit is separated from our soul and God who is spirit.
Our spirit is separated from our soul in the sense that it is not functioning correctly.
When a person is born-again spiritually they became a living being once again, Because God’s Spirit comes into us, breathe’s life into us again.
Our spirit must become quickened like the disciples whom Jesus breathed into after his resurrection saying receive the Holy Spirit.
Our spirit becomes alive connected with our soul again, so that the process of transformation can take place. So the journey of restoration and perfecting begins once we become a living being (our spirit being quickened). We become joined in relationship with God and become one spirit with him again.
when we become one spirit with him joined to him then that is designed then to engage with our soul, so we can become regenerated spirit soul and body, reintegrated, become godlike, a godlike being, the son of God, as a son of God like God intended, he wants sons.
Being a godlike being (mature son of God) is very different from being a living being (spirit alive to God)( first Adam before the fall).
There has to be a process in which we mature and grow and develop into godliness, God likeness, into sonship.
And that process often goes through being a servant a bond servant steward a friend Lord King son.
So there is a whole process where we mature into sonship. It talks about in Galatians 4 that a son may be an heir but because he’s immature he hasn’t got the responsibility to rule at that point. So God wants us to mature.
So the heart, the physical heart has four chambers and to understand the significance and the context of those four chambers we need to engage the process and the principles contained in the whole understanding of Hebrew marriage.
And the Katoomba contract which we covered. Once we get an understanding of that it will help the see these four areas within our heart that God wants to bring restoration through.
So growth and intimacy prepares us to be that true image that God created in eternity, so that our hearts would take on that image. We would be just us, not separated.
We look at it in the sense of body soul and spirit because it helps us identify the different parts and how they are to function together.
Our spirit was created to always be in the presence of the father, like Jesus was, and our body on the earth, bringing the rule of God into it.
But when you become integrated you don’t think about it like that anymore, it’s just you. And you can be in heaven and you can be on the earth and both of them can be functioning at the same time. Because you are able to engage beyond time and space and therefore you can do things in the realm of the spirit. And you can things in this in the physical realm in the realm of time and space, through your spirit.
Once your spirit is again surrounding your body as it was with Adam (because Adam spirit was on the outside of his body), he was clothed with his spirit, in light, as a being of light. And that was able to take his spirit soul and body into the physical and spiritual realms.
And God wants to use that again today. So translation is our spirit being translated both in time and space. Transrelocation is our spirit soul and body be transrelocated, moving in to a different time and space and God wants us and prepares us for that true image, Once our spirit soul body comes back into alignment.
So the garden, the dance floor, the soaking room, bridal chamber will be places of continual experiential relationship. is not that you engage there once, the river of life is continually flowing through those places within us and continually wanting to bring the transformation and the intimacy of those places bring to us.
So everything flows out of that eternal oneness that we once had and God wants to restore. That relationship will then begin to fill the desires of the deepest needs that we have. And our unified restored heart is where that life is designed to flow.
So the heart is really the connection point that God wants to align. just like the garden was the connection point. and there were gardens, Eden the heavenly garden, earth the earthly garden that God gave Adam and they were connected spiritually. And God walked with Adam and Eve in both of those gardens. they had aspects of that.
so five aspects of marriage lakah which represents the garden segullah the dancefloor micvah the soaking room ketubah the terms of the relationship and the huppah is the bridal chamber the consummation where intimacy takes place at the deepest level .so God desires an intimate relationship with us. he’s chosen to engage with us in that way. he is chosen to engage relationship right throughout history. so God is always initiated those relationships. Adam and Eve Enoch noah Abraham Jacob Moses Joshua all those people right throughout, right up to the disciples and to us. God is initiated relationship and wants to draw us into that relationship. God always made the initiation, the offer, for us to come into relationship. but we have free will to choose whether we want to or not. And it’s the free will that is the issue.
we can choose to follow the wrong or the right path on a daily basis .just because we followed it once doesn’t mean will follow again unless we choose to. So the heart will help us with that choice, because of the relationship that develops in the heart, enables us to want to make the right choice, because of the relationship we have.
So the lakah- is I want to make you my own. so in our heart God wants to engage with us, to look us in the eyes and tell us how much he loves us and how much he wants a relationship with us.
Exodus 6:7 was when he did that with children of Israel. then I will take you for my people and I will be your God and you shall know that I’m the Lord your God who brought you out of the burdens of Egypt. God desired a relationship with them.
So our heart is essentially our very core, where our soul and spirit are joined in a secret place of intimacy. it’s where the essence of who you are, personality wise, redemptively, how God has made you or wired you to be can come into union with your eternal spirit self.
so it’s like our spirit and soul come together and our personality the way God created it to be, which is a redemptive personality (with the seven different redemptive gifts that each of us has, at least one of them), so that we come together and understand who we are .
And then that’s flowing from our spirit to bring life to the world effectively .so that restored image is conformed to those wonderful vast some of all the thoughts God has about us. And is revealed about us read that in Psalm hundred and 39.
When you go back into God’s heart it’s like you go back into a place where all those thoughts are around you and you begin to engage in the thoughts that God has about you rather than the thoughts that have been created from your worldly experiences, and their very different.
Psalm 23:1 really is where I engaged in this relationship the most within the word of God. and then that word opening that doorway to personally experience this in conversation with God himself. so the Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want he makes me lie down in green pastures he leads me beside quite waters he restores my soul he guides me in paths of righteousness, you prepare a table before me. It was a place where we can experience that intimacy.
and in a sense it’s like without that place of intimacy then the restoration can take place .unless we are prepared to lie down and stop fighting struggling and be still and know him then were always gonna try and know him through our own ways. Whereas God wants us to lay that down, so he can begin to restore, he can then guide us in paths of righteousness which are the ancient paths, the way, the highway of holiness, the path into eternity, all those things.
Those paths meet on wisdom heights in the realms of heaven. We can connect there with all those things. and he has prepared a table for us. He has prepared everything we need to give us everything we have in a sense of how we can live from that position, from his source.
Math 5:8 says blessed is the pure in heart for they shall see God. So often there is a mixture in our hearts. Our hearts aren’t totally pure, which means the relationship with God is limited by the level of maturity, purity there is in our hearts.
Psalm 23 was my marriage process and it established a pure love and a total trust in my relationship with God, which I didn’t have before. My soul needed to know, and needed to be in charge, for me to feel secure, and for me to trust God. now I didn’t know that, but once I started this process and went through that, particularly when I made my ketubah it opened up my heart at a deeper level than it had been open before.
and I really actually began to see how much my soul needed to know, which is my redemptive gift- prophet and teacher , is about finding things out, understanding how they work and explaining them to people. And everything about that was how God wired me to be, But that in a sense, I used to provide the security in my own life and my identity.
So when I knew things I felt secure when I didn’t know things I did not feel secure. And my soul needed to know, so whenever i went into heaven which is every day, I had stepped in and my soul went with me, so I cognitively was aware of all the things that were going on. So I was either seeing, perceiving or having an experience of a visionary encounter in heaven and my soul was there to restore the memories of my experiences. And that meant I had a step back out. And when I step back out of that realm, my spirit and soul came back into this realm. So I couldn’t stay there.
now once I separated soul and spirit, (from my soul operating in that manner) and my soul and spirit became reintegrated and became one,( so my soul was no longer needing to know) when I no longer needed to know God showed me so much more than ever could before.
So now my spirit can be in the realm of heaven, my soul is operating right here now when I am talking to you, but my spirit can flow from heaven into this realm.
So God wants us to establish a relationship with him which is pure, and in which we become who he created us to be. And that means we can function in two places or more at once.
So essentially I was prepared as the bride laying down in green pastures by quite waters having my soul restored and therefore the table was there so I could feast, my head was overflowing with oil, it was establishing the House of the Lord, where God would dwell in me and I could dwell in him, in his realm.
So our relationship grows deeper as we begin to engage that preparation process. And is not an easy process, I have to forewarn you, dealing with the very nature of your identity is not easy to do. It is quite easy to deal with sin in a sense, because you recognize most sin. It is less easy to deal with issues of genetic material where were motivated by triggers within our genetic material.
But when it comes to dealing with how God created us and identity, it is quite difficult, but absolutely vital if we are going to flow in what God wants.
So the four chambers of the heart are the four most intimate places we can engage God within our soul, or within ourselves. but they also corresponding even more deeper relationship and experiences in the heavenly realms. so each of those four places has corresponding places in the realms of heaven which will take us even deeper and they connect.
so our heart and our spirit connect and all those things begin to flow .one Corinthians 616 describes relationship and how intimate relationship can be. do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her. Now that is talking about a physical relationship. For he says the two shall become one flesh. but the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with him. so it’s pretty much really challenging the depth of that relationship. now people get offended when you think intimacy on that sort of level. It is obviously not talking about a sexual relationship but it’s putting it on a par with that in a sense and going beyond that into what that means when our spirit is joined.
So first Love, where we engage in first Love in our spirit is focused on restoring our spirit to spirit relationship with God, so will become one in spirit. But it must not stop there; it needs then to take that relationship within our heart to restore our soul in the same way, so our soul becomes restored with God.
So were joined to the Lord in first Love within our spirit, but God wants to engage our soul .our heart is the place where God wants to join with our soul. The Lakah (garden) is where God wants to look into our eyes in an emotionally charged environment, because we’re talking about are emotions when we’re talking about our soul, were talking about our feelings and how we think and make us his own.
That is a deeper level of relationship. so we need to learn how to engage God within our heart as well as within our spirit .so understanding how our heart functions will be a key to restoring that relationship. So that we can flow in the abundant life that God has for us to flow into the world.
So the key in helping heaven flow through us is, if it flows into our spirit and then can’t go through our heart then it will stagnate won’t it. And God wants us to reflect, our lives to reflect that eternal image, so that we can come together and live in those dual realms.
So our heart we know it’s a physical organ. it’s also described offerings as our emotions, our soul, our inner life, our personality, the record of our generational DNA is formed in our heart when the two cells of the sperm from father and the egg from the mother join and those cells that multiplied become our heart, carrying that record.25;40
our heart also can be seen as our subconscious mind where all our memories are stored and where we truly think. a lot of people think we think in our brain know the brain processes thoughts but the thoughts originate in our heart and that is really important when we come to dealing with our heart, we need to know what the thoughts are that are in there.
so the heart is the center of all the operations of the human soul .the heart and soul often interchangeably used the heart is the home of our personal life the heart is the seat of our conscience and our imagination so Jeremiah 979 the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked who can know it. that really is how we start, which really isn’t a good place to start. so we have to deal with the fact that our heart can trick us and our heart we don’t necessarily know it very well so you can know it fortunately God can and if God can know it then he can help us to know it and help us to understand, that it shouldn’t be a place which is deceitful and wicked it should be a place full of life and joy and peace so the ultimate expression of our wicked heart was in Genesis 65 before the flood as a result of pollution generically the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. now that is what is possible if you do not get your heart restored and your heart is motivated and driven by the things that the enemy would have and the pathway of the knowledge of good and evil and again it is not something that we want to be operating in, now I don’t think anyone in the world is fully operating like that right now because of the presence of the Holy Spirit. but it is possible and therefore we need to deal with our heart ezekial 3626 and this is the good part moreover I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give your heart of flesh. So God will not only give us a new spirit or rebirth our spirit into relationship with him but he will give us a new heart. And he describes the difference is between a stony heart and a flesh heart. so one thats not really living in abundant life to one that flows in the life of God so our salvation experience our initial experience of salvation is like our wedding day. but our salvation needs to carry on in the marriage so it is only the beginning of our journey that continues so that we can live from a new spirit and a new heart and grow in that relationship so Proverbs 23; 7 four as he thinks in his heart so is he. so how you think about yourself will determine how you live.28:51
so ask yourself the question how do I think about myself? and if you’re really happy with your life then probably your thinking correctly. if you may not be fully happy with your life maybe there is a mixture of thinking that is going on in your heart so it is important to know how you have been thinking.
Proverbs 1312 hope deferred makes the heart sick but desire fulfilled is a tree of life so if our heart is motivated by the wrong thoughts, the desire that God has for us, for that wonderful relationship and full complete joy love peace in our lives will be deferred it won’t be functioning therefore our heart will be sick so a sick heart cannot flow in full life. God desires it to be flowing like a tree, the tree of life in fact. so Proverbs 423 watch over your heart with all diligence for from it flow the springs of life so it is really really important that we deal with our heart so that life can flow from it and that means taking care of it and spending the time to go through the process of preparing our heart and flowing from that way so what is in our heart will determine how we live. our heart motivates and directs our life. now we would like to think that our spirit does but our spirit only can when our heart agrees. which is why it says that the flesh and the spirit are in a wrestling match for that place of who is going to direct and guide me and my spirit is designed to do that and once my heart and spirit come back together in unity it is a wonderful place of that oneness but until it does there is a battle. Our heart contains the programming that triggers our reactions it’s our subconscious mind that triggers those reactions that are within us. so what is in our heart is come from the world around us nature nurture and trauma so yes there is genetic material that is within our heart that programs us from generational past.
there is nurture how we been brought up what’s happened to us as we have grown and matured and trauma. things that happened to us which are very negative that the enemy uses to sow fear into our heart generally .
originally it was the breath of life, God’s word that programmed our hearts. that was how Adam and Eve function so the spirit and the Hebrew word ruler all the Greek word new man means breath of wind literally the living Word it was a living word so God spoke life into existence he is spirit. everything about him is creative God’s word his breath contains life Genesis 27 then the Lord God formed man and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being. so it was God’s word that he breathed into us a the living word. 32>08
and there is a diagram of the heart and you’ll see their the from the pulmonary veins from the lungs you get oxygenated blood and that is pumped around the body through the aorta and then deoxygenated blood comes back through the pulmonary artery and then gets pumped back to the Linux so we couldn’t live and unless oxygen was exchanged in the lungs because we need oxygen to live that’s the fuel of our life and it’s the same thing with the spirit so are a more comical way of looking at that we have from the Lance to the body and we have from the body to the lungs and that’s what the heart does that spiritual it is the same thing because God wants us to draw from the life of the spirit and his spirit so that can programme our body because it contains the word of God and God wants our heart to be a place where we draw life and the right direction so very rhythm of breathing sounds like God’s name yo behave RK and if you actually think about your breathing and you actually when you breathe and listen to the sound is hard to do because your’s distracted by a lot of the sound it actually sounds like you like Yo hey hey to your breathing in and out which is what Adam was doing all the time because he was totally connected with the spirit God therefore he was breathing God’s life and then he breathed it out so he was breathing in God’s word and he was using his words to create which was God’s desire so God breathed into us his name we breathe out using the power of his name as the source of our creative ability to frame our lives with our words so is absolutely vital that we get our words from the right place the words are coming from the outside there within a frame our lives according to the world around us if our words are coming from God himself from that living word then we can frame our lives from his perspective not the world’s so we need to learn to breathe in and out God’s name to shake life our hearts which is why we need to engage in understanding how we can draw life so Hebrews 412 the word of God is living and active and powerful God speaks is in essence the same as God breathes because he is a speaking spirit and is called us to be eating spirits so what is the source of what we believe and speak we have to asked that question is only God breath contains a spiritual oxygen that we really need Jeremiah 3133 I will put my law within them and Omaha I will write it I will be there God they will be my people God wants is Lorna we think of law as a negative thing it is in a negative thing it’s the permission to do something or not to do something so for us God has given us the permission by writing on our heart the living word as we breathe in from our spirit Hebrews 810 I will put my laws into their minds and I’ll write it on their hearts they will be my God no be my people will be there God they should be my people is God always been God’s desire that we would have a relationship with him that would be flowing in life and the heart is the central point that relationship Genesis 128 God bless them Harry bless them he breathed into them life he spoke words of life into them God said to them so we tend to think of it as well we were having a conversation and God said this was more than just words just spoken between two people this was the very words of God coming into our whole life and therefore everything we do can be framed by those words God said to them be fruitful multiply fill the earth subdue and rule he spoke that blessing that empowerment by the very breath he breathed into them our course they spoke you have that was the word of God’s kingdom the kingdom is God’s rule to bless us and empower us to succeed we can still receive that word God breathed this living active powerful word into Adam and he use that word and he breathed in actually like he spoke to Adam breathed out or spoke the word to bring kingdom rule fruitfulness multiplication filling subduing and dominion we can do the same as long as that word is flowing from the very breath of God are spirit which is in us in our spirit but needs to come into our hearts and if we fail to draw from the spirit then we don’t have those words to frame and shape bring the kingdom into our life there was no separation between God spirit breath and Adam spirit man there was just relationship whole interaction and connection so we need God is living breath within us so that we can speak or breathe that Matthew 1230 forces the mouth speaks of that which fills the heart so what’s filling our heart we can speak from what is come from the outside the tree of the knowledge of good and evil all we can speak will brief what’s flow from the inside the tree of life actually comes our spirit language is a flow spiritual words or breath from the inside out which is why we should be flowing in tongues all the time because comes connects our spirit with God spirit and releases those spiritual words to frame our life and create an atmosphere of the kingdom around us as a flowing river of life and that isn’t just when we think about praying in tongues all when we speak it out in physically art are spirit can be continually releasing a flow of life as we bubble away in tongues all the time Psalm hundred 1910 with all my heart knowing look at several scriptures which talk about what God requires of our heart with all my heart I thought you this is David who have an intimate relationship with God and his relationship with the spirit was outside of his timeframe in actual fact because he was living from the future do not let me wander from your Commandments your word I have treasured in my heart that I might not sin against so in all his heart therefore the word needs to be in all our heart so are conscience us conscious is are energised empowered by what we sow into our hearts and if we have negative things in our hearts and our consciousness go out to do all sorts a negative things if we have the truth in our hearts and it will help us make the right choices which is to follow God’s word God’s heart the life of the intent so that we don’t sin against him so hundred 19 105 your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path that we tend to think about as the Bible but isn’t talking about the Bible is talking about the living word of God the very breath of God yes that contains what’s in the Bible but is not limited to that because God is so much bigger block to what word is it it’s the living Word hidden and fruitful in our hearts that will be a light to our feet that will be the lamb that causes us to be able to see and to live the psalm 40 verse eight I delight to do your will my God your law is within my heart that was again the Psalmist decreeing the truth because he delighted to do the will of God it wasn’t a duty or something hard it was a delight why is the word within his heart the living Word within his heart which enables him to outwork God is well so hundred 1911 I have inherited your test is forever they are the joy of my heart and one of the testimonies the stories of who God is the truth of who God is the relationship of who God is everything is a testimony when we engage God so more we engage God the more those testimonies come joy in our hearts is our relationship proves who God is the last us the case for us but he wants a relationship with us so hundred and 1932 I shall run the way of your Commandments for you will enlarge my heart so it’s impossible it’s possible the à la hearts can enlarge can get bigger can contain more can expand and as you practice having the breath of life from your spirit engage your heart it can expand around you and and growing capacity Proverbs to 10 for wisdom will enter your heart and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul so the wisdom and the knowledge of God to experience will be pleasant to the soul is what our soul is always looking for Proverbs 35 trusting the Lord with all your heart and do not lean to your own understanding again this this works when we have the living breath of God within our heart question is do we trust will all our heart other aspects of our heart which are still unrestored now will look next time that the parable of the sewer word up there are four soils described soil of our heart which is again an analogy of the garden we have so Psalm 84 five how blessed is the man who strength is in you
