Is your heart right? You say your heart is the center of your life.
You know, if you think about your heart, your physical heart, it beats 100,000 strokes every 24 hours, it contracts 4000 times an hour.
Our blood weighs about £25 and all of it passes through the heart every four minutes.
In Proverbs 23 7, the scripture says as a man thinketh in his heart.
So is he and the heart is used throughout the Bible considered far more than a bodily organ.
It’s the seat of our emotions.
You see, the heart has come to stand for the center of the moral, spiritual and intellectual life of a person.
It’s the seat of a person’s conscience and life and extremely important. Is your heart right?
Is it right with God? Because if it’s not right with God, your sins are not forgiven, you’re not going to heaven.
When you die, our hearts have to be right. I’m asking about your heart.
What about your heart dig deep into your heart tonight in your thinking? How are you taught God?
Are you right with God? The Bible says prepare to meet thy God.
And before you can prepare to meet God, your heart has to be right and your heart has to be touched by the Holy Spirit.
Now, what does the Bible teach about the heart? The Bible teaches that our hearts are sinful.
There are sin. Mine is yours is we’re born from Adam and Eve.
It’s passed on from generation to generation.
And the Bible says, first of all that, our hearts are full of evil imaginations.
Proverbs 6 18, a heart that devises wicked imaginations. What do you imagine? What are your fantasies?
What do you fantasize about? The heart is desperately wicked and deceitful. Jeremiah 79.
The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know that your heart?
That’s what the Bible thinks of your heart. That’s what God thinks about your heart and my heart.
Our b the Bible says the heart is far from God in Matthew 15.
This people draw nine to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips.
But their heart is far from me. How many of us go to church and sing?
How many of us go to church and listen to the clergymen.
How many of us outwardly live a fairly good life? But our heart is far from God.
And then the Bible says, our hearts are Treasury of evil Mark seven.
Jesus said from within, out of the heart, perceive evil thoughts, evil thoughts come from the heart adulteries, you might commit adultery with your body, but it starts in the heart and in the mind and for occasions and murders and thefts and covetousness and wickedness and deceit, lasciviousness, and evil eye blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
All these things, the Bible Jesus said come from the heart.
So the most important thing in the world for you tonight is to be sure that your heart is right with God and that you have been forgiven of all those things you see, there’s something wrong with us that we don’t recognize in the world in which we live.
Our world is secular. Our world doesn’t want to take into account that God exists or that man is made in the image of God.
His heart is made in God’s image and made for fellowship with God.
And without God, it’s dark, you see, he darkens our the devil darkens our understanding. Sin darkens our understanding.
Sin paralyzes our will, does the conscience and defiles the heart.
And then the Bible says that we have unbelieving hearts, take heed brethren unless there be any among you with an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God, Hebrews the third chapter.
And then our hearts are blind, divisions four, having the understanding dark and being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their heart.
Our hearts are blind. And then the Bible says, our hearts are deceitful.
The heart is deceitful above all things, think of it above all things. Your heart is deceitful.
It deceives you, it deceives other people.
And then in Psalm one oh one, it says that our hearts are proud Him, that have a high look and a proud heart.
I’ll not recognize, says God. And the Bible says, our hearts are rebellious, but this people have a revolting and rebellious heart.
They’re revolted and gone. The Bible says that our hearts are idolaters.
We think of other things more than we think of God and anything that you think more of than you do of God becomes idolatry.
Then the Bible says, our hearts are stony and I will take the stony heart out of the flesh.
Our b the Bible says, our hearts are stony, hard, cold and barren. That’s your heart.
That’s what the Bible says. That’s how God diagnoses your heart.
The Bible says He that heartened his heart being often reproved shall suddenly be cut off.
And that without remedy. In other words, they’ll come the last time that you harden your heart and it’ll all be over, be no more chance for you because you see when you harden your heart, it builds a little ring around it.
And the Holy Spirit may speak to you again, but your heart will be harder.
It will be like Pharaoh’s heart, getting harder and harder every time until when God speaks to you, you can no longer hear what about you is your heart right?
He knows your heart. He studies it. You can’t fool him, you can’t hide.
He knows all the secrets. There is a lot about blood in the scriptures.
But the Bible says without the shedding of blood, there’s no forgiveness of sin.
If Jesus Christ had not died on that cross and shed his blood for you, there’s no way you could be forgiven of your sins.
And the Bible says that He gives a new heart.
God says an old heart will not, do you have to have a new one?
And God doesn’t just patch you up a new heart.
Also, I will give you and a new spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh.
God says a new heart is what you need. What about you?
Have you received this new heart from God?
If your heart’s right, the rest of you is going to be right too.
Christ changed the pattern of living.
He said a good man out of the good treasures of the heart, bringing forth good things and an evil man out of evil treasures brings forth evil things.
Christ said except a man is born from above. He cannot see the kingdom of heaven.
How do you receive it first? You must repent of sin.
You have to say to God, oh Lord, I’m I’ve sinned I’m sorry, I’m willing to change my way of living.
That’s repentance. I’m willing notice you can’t do it yourself. God has to help you even in the repenting.
And then you receive Him by faith, faith in Christ, not in anything else except Christ and what he did at the cross and the resurrection when God raised him from the dead and he’s alive.
Jesus said there are two roads, there’s a narrow road and the broad road you’re on one or the other.
Which one are you on?
