• Sin is a formed thoughts, ideas, or opinions produced by thinking that occurs suddenly from the heart’s mind through the knowledge of good and evil inherited through Adam and Eve.
• Man’s heart was evil. God’s heart was grieved. Genesis 6:5-6 5 says that 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. 6 And the Lord repented that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.
• We are speaking of the spiritual heart, not the organ that pumps blood around the body, but the one that Salvation in Christ will replace through the knowledge of good and truth.
• Human depravity is in the heart of all mankind, that is gender: male and female. Because we were all born in sin and shaped in iniquity.
• The human depravity of man’s heart is his immoral behavior or his being very dishonest and this is due to sin and its nature in the heart; corruption; perversion; the innate corruption of human nature, due to the original sin.
• Sin is a principle which has its seat in the center of man’s spiritual inward life (that is the heart of soul), and then it defiles the whole circuit of man’s actions.
Proverbs 23:7 says for as he (man) thinks in his heart so is he:
Proverbs 23:7 goes on to say as one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you (but is grudging the cost).
• The heart, your heart lies deep within your soulish realm, and it contains the hidden man, the real spiritual man.
• It represents your true character but conceals it.
• Psuche, the soul, or life, is rendered heart.
• The Will of God must be done from the heart of man, not from the learned ability of man but from his new heart and new spirit. (Ezekiel 36:26-27)
St Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
• We walk by the beliefs, morals, rituals, habits, practices, attitudes, etc., that are internalized and categorized beliefs as being formal, informal, and personal due to the original sin in the knowledge of good and evil.
• We walk by a learned behavior of the sin that is already there in our nature.
• Your body is animated by the spirit in you, and it will act out and perform what is in your heart with an attitude.
• The life of your flesh is in the blood. Leviticus 17:11.
• Jesus the Christ is our substitute for the shedding of innocent blood to cleanse our blood by faith from all our unrighteousness.
• The thoughts and intents of your heart have a motive in all it thinks and does, with the ability to activate them and to motivate your body to perform them.
• This is why the Spirit of God must replace the old stony heart that we are born in the natural with to give us a heart of flesh as a born-again new creature in Him.
• In Salvation your old nature, its sin, habits, ways, practices, lust, desires, and learned way of man in the flesh won’t be able to meet the criteria and standards of God and His righteousness through His Son Jesus.
• BUT THE WORD OF GOD HAS YOUR SOUL’S NUMBER! Not to just count it but to put it back into the Hand of its original manufacturer.
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.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
• The Word of God heard will expose your sin.
• The Word of God is living, its live and active.
• The Word of God judges the thoughts and intents of your heart.
• The Word of God will search you and discern your every way righteously and just.
• The heart of man will plan his way, but it will take the Lord to establish his steps. (Proverbs 16:9).
Psalm 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighteth in His way.
• In doing this the Lord’s way He will uphold you with His Hand!
• The spiritual mind of Christ will subdue your flesh! To overcome it, quieten it, and to bring it into subjection to the Will of God in Christ according to the Word of God.
Jeremiah 24:7 And I will give them an heart to know Me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be My people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto Me with their whole heart.
• This is the same renewed heart that God is referring to in Ezekiel 11:19; 36:26-27.
• This heart is for the new man not your already corrupt heart.
• Intent is your intention or purpose.
• Our hearts also include choices, intentions, decisions, motives, etc. for what we do and will do.
• The paths we’ve walked and are continuing to walk; the patterns of consistency and inconsistency, ways, actions, reactions, need, desires, and wants tells us individually and corporately what is inside our heart because we will follow it and get an attitude with others if you are hindered in any way from doing what you want or need to do.
• Evaluate your heart today to see if it is lining up with the Word of God in its consistency.
Amen
