The Journey of a Believers’ Heart Apostle Tracey Robinson, 2023 Copyright
St Matthew 15:18-19 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
• When we enter Salvation the journey of every believer’s heart begins. Why? Because this is where your issues of life are.
• The heart is the center of life!
• But the Word of God knows exactly where you are in the issues of your life that are hidden in secret in the heart.
• Our hearts determine our character (Proverbs 23:7), the source of evil that is there (St Luke 6:45), it controls our speech, the thoughts of our imagination, and is the source of our faith. We must learn to guard our hearts diligently while on our journey (Proverbs 4:23)
• God equips us as born-again believers, new creatures in Him with all we need for the call to decision in Him. And in this call to decision, we must spiritually grow!
• In this call to decision our Will is being prompted and provoked to have to choose God or the devil as we are learned and unlearned.
• Every new creature in Christ that is born-again must go from just believing to the converting process to transform your soul into a son of God.
• Your heart being replaced by God is vital to your success in God’s plan of Salvation.
• Your journey in Salvation is based upon what is in your heart. This really is the determining factor!
• The heart for your born-again experiences and encounters to your spiritual growth is from God and is replaced by God.
Ezekiel 11:19-20 KJV Amplified 19 And I will give them one heart [a new heart] and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take the stony ][unnaturally hardened] heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh [sensitive and responsive to the touch of their God], 20 That they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances, and do them. And they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
• The mind of this heart is Christ Jesus.
• The heart is controlled by God when you have surrendered your whole self to Him to take of the Will of God in and through your Will.
• The heart replaced by God will NEVER turn on God nor will it disagree with God.
• The heart of your old nature, old man will never be cleansed by the Word of God to do Will the Will of God.
• The old heart and its nature are of the devil. It operates and functions from the sin nature of the flesh influenced by the knowledge of good and evil.
• Why? Because we are/were born in sin. We only had one nature working for us which was corrupt, depraved, and inherited from Adam.
• We were/are sinners by birth and by our choice in word, deed, action, and thought.
Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. (To be sharpened in iniquity is to be wrapped in or clothed in evil, sin).
Psalm 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. (Wicked here refers to the ungodly; estrange refers being alienated from God; no longer close or affectionate to Him).
Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
• In order to spiritually grow you must be willing to as John the Baptist said to Jesus the Christ in St John 3:30, He must increase, but I must decrease.
• When we hear the Word of God, we must humble ourselves to the Will of God and decrease ourselves from who and what we think we are/were so that the spiritual stature of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself can increase in you/us.
• This principle of increasing and decreasing relates to the old nature of sin of the knowledge of good and evil verses the transforming of the new nature in the knowledge of good and truth.
• This will require the cleansing, converting, and transforming process through the Word of God by faith in Christ. This is the journey of a believer’s heart! Being transformed!
• The Word of God comes to stripe you and crucify you the old man and its nature to raise you up to a new life as a new creature in Christ with a new nature and a new heart, which is the spirit Man in you.
Here are some scriptures for the two hearts or the two natures to study:
• OLD Heart is desperately wicked this is that heart we were born with: Jeremiah 17:9
• OLD Heart is of a defiled nature: St Mark 7:21-23
• OLD Man which is born corrupt in corruption: Ephesians 4:24
• FLESHLY Man is lustful and full of pride and operates in the works of the flesh: Galatians 5:17, 19-21.
• NEW Heart replaced by God does not sin: 1 John 3:7-9
• NEW Heart’s compliance to the Word of God has a pure nature, of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned (genuine, honest, authentic, real, true, earnest, heartfelt, whole heartedly). 1 Timothy 1:5
• NEW Man which is renewed in the spirit of his mind to put on the new man, which is after God and is created in righteousness and in true holiness. Ephesians 4:23-24).
• SPIRITUAL Man is fruitful and will produce fruits of righteousness. Galatians 5:21-22
• This is why Jesus had to come and we must accept Him as our Lord and Savior, so that the Lord can create in us a new heart, a new nature, and a new man within us as it was from the beginning before Adam and Eve’s fall.
• As your heart journey into your new life as a new creature in Christ God must replace the old heart to a new heart that is spiritual and created in His righteousness and His Holiness.
• Our old heart was/is completely depraved (made bad, corrupted morally) thanks to the deception of Adam and Eve in the Garden.
• Every seed from that point on from Adam was/is corrupt, born with a heart that is desperately wicked and the thoughts of its imagination are wicked and evil continuously (Genesis 6:5).
• It possesses the sinful nature of Lucifer’s serpentine form and that became the nature of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
• In your old hearts ungodly journey (that is before Christ) this heart is characterized by imitation.
• It will imitate, copy, model, and alter to resemble the original man and his righteousness of God that God created in him in the beginning. It has a form of godliness that denies the power of the True and Living God.
• This is self-righteous, with pride, and will use you to cover up its dark, depraved nature that is still very much active in you.
St John 3:20 For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
• Your repentance every time you think and do wrong won’t keep getting it for you.
• Your sin must be reproved! You must be reprimanded and rebuked for sin!
• The devil (Satan) will put on a disguise to deceive you and to make it look like he stands for good and not evil through our natures when it causes us to try and live “between the two natures”.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
• But God will separate the “wheat from the tares!” St Matthew 13:30
• The new heart and new nature of the new creature in you, which is spirit are perfect.
• The heart that God replaces comes perfect because it is created after the image and likeness of Jesus Christ.
• Your old nature, old heart, and your flesh must be crucified and put to death through the process of you and I decreasing so that Christ in us can increase.
• This is accomplished as we confess and repent over the issues of sin that are growing and have grown in our old heart that is still trying to live with the new heart.
• If we confess our sins, faults, etc., God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
• The new heart will cause you to die daily (1 Corinthians 15:31) to the Will of Christ Jesus and no longer your Will to live.
• Salvation’s journey in Christ requires a heart transplant.
• Your future in Christ becomes your destiny in your present with a new heart.
• This new spiritual heart does not operate from the feelings of your flesh!
• The new heart will only agree with God and His Will.
• God’s heart and our new heart is immutable, unchangeable when God replaces your heart.
• The new heart in you replaced by God is His promise and His oath. It is impossible for God to lie or to deceive those that come to Him through His Son Jesus. Hebrews 6:18.
• This is your heart’s journey as a new creature in Christ and you must succeed in your journey.Amen

From carnality to spirituality
From carnality to spirituality
• Carnality is simply the state of being carnal (fleshly, worldly) which makes one exhibits the works of the flesh in Galatians 5:19-21
• Salvation is designed by God to bring the Soul, that is you and I out of the bondage and captivity of our sin, its effects, its penalties, and rejection toward Him through His Son Jesus.
• Salvation is the spiritual processing of God for all mankind to bring Man back to his originality in Him through and in His Son Jesus Christ.• Man is a spirit being. Created by God not evolved of himself, Genesis 2:7.
• His make-up is spiritual. Man is spirit, soul, and body.
• His fallen state has become his default in carnality.
• Man without his original make-up is without the image of God after their likeness with dominion.
• Genesis 6:3, 5 3 And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 5 And 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.
• Man is carnal. He is born in sin and shaped in iniquity.
• “Shaped in iniquity” means immoral or grossly unfair behavior.
• Shaped in iniquity is our external body shaped in suits of dust (dirt suits) with flesh formed to it.
• Without the righteousness of God returned to Man, Man lives in carnality which is his fallen state from the Will of God to indulge in the carnality that is built in his flesh. The nature of the flesh is sinful, and it hates God.
• Carnality pertains to the desire for flesh, physical relationships, and worldly possessions.
• Carnality focus and desire is on physical desires, pleasures, and need that indulge in sensual pleasures and physical appetites such as food and sex. Along with other aspects of life such as money, power, vanity, education, possessions, fame, status, etc.
• Why not? Satan as Lucifer in his beginning was created perfect. He became so impressed with his own beauty, knowledge, intelligence, power, position, authority, his anointing, and his wisdom that he began to covet (desire) the Throne of God with all of God’s glory and honor, that which belonged only to God. Ezekiel 28:11-19.
• Lucifer self-exalted himself! He lifted up his heart and in his heart iniquity was found.
• 1 Peter 5:6 tells us to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt us in due time. Don’t exalt yourself, that is pride in override!
• Carnality brought in spiritual death to the spirit Man. It began in the Garden of Eden when Eve was beguiled by the serpent.
• Carnality started in Man with the devil entering the serpent in the Garden, Genesis 3:1-7.
• Eve was charmed in a deceptive way by the serpent and saw that the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was pleasant to eat, delightful to look at, with a desire to become wise.
• Eve experienced 1 John 2:16 that was not yet written, but in line with the 5-senses lust and influence through the knowledge of good and evil. It says for all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
• Carnality is spiritual bondage. Romans 7:23 says but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
• Sin is in the flesh, and it influences and acts out through the body.
• Who can deliver you and I from this body of death?
• Your body suffers from your flesh and its sinful nature surrounding it.
• A carnal Christian or a carnal person will have a carnal mind which make them live according to the lust and desires of their flesh.
• Carnal Christians or carnal people usually have uncontrollable sexual urges and appetites toward another and can’t wait to fulfill them when the opportunity presents itself. This carnal desire for sex before marriage leads them into fornication, adultery, lewd and lascivious acts.
• Carnal Christians or carnal people are of the world as well as in the world and ignore the Word of God to suit their carnal, worldly, and sensuous lust and desires.
• Romans 12:1-2 says I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, Will of God.
• You must mortify your flesh to crucify it! You must learn to subdue your body and its needs and desires by learning self-denial and disciplining it through the Word of God.
• Not suppression or repression of your mind, but by renewing of your mind!
• Suppression is the restraint or repression of an idea, activity, or reaction to something more powerful. The Word of God is more powerful than the flesh! It can crucify its memories, impulses, urges, temptations, or desires.
• It takes the Holy Spirit in possession of and control of your soul in order to suppress the ideas, activities, or reactions of the Will of your flesh and its nature so it can mortify it to put it to death.
• Repression is the action or process of suppressing a thought of imagination or desire in oneself so that it remains unconscious.
• Killing to crucifying the Will of your flesh and its sinful nature will get rid of the repression in your minds: conscious, subconscious (the heart) and even the unconscious mind.
• You got to have the mind of Christ to want to and desire not to sin in word, deed, action, or thought.
• In order to have His mind, you must have your stony heart replaced by God to give you a heart of flesh. Philippians 2:5; Ezekiel 36:26-27
• This new mind and new heart, comes with a new spirit incorporated with the Word of God so you can cast down your imaginations and every high thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (in you). 2 Corinthians 10:5SIGNS OF CARNALITY OPERATING IN A BORN-AGAIN BELIEVER
• No spiritual discernment concerning spiritual things as well as your own spirituality. Making everything a human feeling by utilizing the 5-senses influenced by the knowledge of good and evil in the flesh.
• No fruit of the Spirit, Galatians 5:22-23. And flesh is not crucified!
• Love for the world and the things in it, i.e., its ways, behavior, mannerism, attitude, communication, etc.
• Still being plagued with carnal and sinful addictions in dreams, imagination, and thoughts, and won’t surrender your whole self because of shame, guilt, and fear.
• Lustful in desires.
• Intemperate, having or showing a lack of self-control through their Will. The Will implies self-control.
• Sexual perversion; being careless with the opposite sex.
• Haughtiness, i.e., arrogant, snobbish, self-important, proud, vain, self-exalted, etc.
• No godly contentment.SPIRITUALITY
• Spirituality is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit and soul as opposed to material or physical things.
• Spirituality pertains to the desire of your Will to attain liberation from the flesh and its sinful nature. You have got to want to be spiritual!
• Being spiritual does not give you a spirit of bondage that will cause you to fear, but in Christ spirituality allows us to receive the Spirit of adoption, where we are able to call on our Father as a Son, as His child. Romans 8:15.
• If you still walk in a spirit of fear and operate in a spirit of fear, check your born-again status on your spiritual adoption papers. Check to see if the name of your father changed on your born-again birth certificate!
• Being spiritual teaches you how to walk in the Spirit, by the Spirit, and after the Spirit. You will always be after the likeness of the Son of God and His pattern being knitted in you.
• Salvation brought liberation through Jesus Christ. Who the Son set free is free indeed, St John 8:36. Are you free?
• Salvation is deliverance from the power and effects of sin; the realization of the Supremacy of God’s infinite mind overall, bringing with it the destruction of the illusion sin, sickness, and death.
• Illusion of sin is the thing that is or is likely to be wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses.SIGNS OF SPIRITUALITY OPERATING IN A TRUE BORN-AGAIN BELIEVER
• Saved. Born-again new creature in Christ, being transformed daily back into the image of God, after their likeness, possessing dominion.
• Really loves God through His Son Jesus.
• Imitates Christ by walking in faith, by faith.
• Obeys and walk in the pattern of Christ Jesus according to the Will of God by faith.
• Practices repentance and forgiveness daily.
• Loves others unselfishly.
• Affections set on things above and not on things on the earth, Colossians 3:2; heavenly minded with the mind of Christ.
• Produces fruit of the fruit of the Spirit.
• Live Godly with a lifestyle of godliness with godly intentions and not their own motives.
• Life is hidden in Christ because they are dead to the world and its rudiments.
• Crucifying self-daily; dying daily to the Will of God.
• Hunger and thirst for righteousness in their new nature.
• Having a knowledge of the Word with its readiness to revenge all disobedience as your obedience is being fulfilled daily, 2 Corinthians 10:6.In Closing,
• Sin is an addiction to the spirituality of man.
• It is like medicine to a mental person.
• Medicine to a mental person is as demonic as drugs and other paraphernalia is to a drug addict and is still without God.
• All it is designed to do is to keep them unaware of their ability through their Will to choose righteousness over unrighteousness.
• Sin is inherited! Sin is a generational curse to all who choose to inherit it and won’t choose the changing power of the Will of God.
• Your flesh and its sinful nature are your enemy and your reason for rejecting God.
• Salvation and its righteousness are the only way out for the spirit Man and back to God the Father.
• This is God’s plan incorporated with the essence of God!Amen

Psalm 100:4Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.
Psalm 100:4
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.• This is a call to worship, thanksgiving, and praise to God, not one another but to God. It tells us how to enter the Presence of the Lord God with an attitude of gratitude, thanksgiving, appreciation, and praise. In doing so, we acknowledge His holiness, His greatness, His sovereignty, and His goodness toward us individually and corporately.
• The House of Prayer is an earthly place where the Presence of God dwells among His people.
• We must understand that the House of Prayer goes far beyond the pulpit and who God has chosen and called and set in as being the gift and shepherd over His flock.
• Each one of us individually must be able to strive to encounter and experience the Order of God and His Presence in order to receive a personal touch from Him.
• In the House of Prayer, we assemble ourselves together in love to fellowship with and in the Will of God for the House.
• Hebrews 10:25 this is the Church (you and I) coming together as a sanctuary, as a Temple.
• The Word of God is spirit. St John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
• The Word of God gives us clear and concise instructions on how to do the Will of God in Spirit and in Truth, but it is the Holy Spirit that will carry out the Word of God in His Holiness and Righteousness in you.
• So, you must have the possession of the Holy Spirit in order for the Word of God to work on the behalf of God.
• The Holy Spirit ONLY responds to what is written! Not what has been clichéd, not what has been picked out and suited for your case and is not the Will of God, not what has been watered down by tradition and religion and feelings to suit the ways, behaviors, attitude, and mannerism of your flesh and its sinful nature.
• The Holy Spirit will ONLY respond to the new heart replaced in you by God Himself, Ezekiel 11:19-20; 36:26-27.
• The Holy Spirit works with the heart of flesh given by God Himself so that you and I may walk in His statutes, keep His ordinances, keep His judgments, and do them.
• The issues of life are in the heart of Man (male man and female man).
• When entering the House of Prayer-The Sanctuary we must enter in as the Word of God commands us to do so with thanksgiving and praise as we bless His Name, That Name Jesus!
• The House of Prayer is not The Church.
St Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
• Sanctuary is a place of refuge or safety; a holy place; a temple or church.
• We should not enter the House of Prayer like we would enter at a marketplace, a sporting rink, or a social club, etc.
• Marketplace is an open space or square in town where people buy and sell things; a platform that facilitates both buying and selling in many ways.Quickly demonstrate how to enter the House of Prayer as demonstrating how we enter the Kingdom of God.
• We must be able to know the difference between the Old Testament covenant and the New Testament Tabernacle of that day and the Tabernacle as seen today.
• The gates represent the entrance into the outer court (the Old Testament Tabernacle).
• The gates today represent the House of Prayer where you enter the doors of the Sanctuary with your physical body as being a part of the outer courtyard (the New Testament).
• We should enter through His gates with thanksgiving starting from the outer court (the doors of the Sanctuary that lead to the courtyard).
• Once we have entered His gates, we should enter His courts which is the inner court (the Holy Place) with a mind and heart to praise and give thanksgiving to Him and bless His name so that He will usher us into His Holy of Holies as a spirit being in His Presence.
• It is through faith, fasting, prayer, denying self from all its worldly carnalities, lust, desires, habits, practices, etc. that will bring you and I into the Presence of God’s Holiness.
• Your flesh and its sinful nature hate God and is God’s enemy. It will never be present in the Presence of God and God will never come when flesh is not crucified.
• It is through the crucifying of your flesh that the Presence of God will usher you into His Presence after you have entered His gates and courts as it is written.
• Every time we enter the House of Prayer should be as we are entering into the Kingdom of God to see the King (in His Holy of Holies).
• In Old Testament This Holy of Holies is where the Ark of the Covenant sits, which represented the Presence of God.
• The Holy of Holies is the inner chambers of the sanctuary in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem separated by a veil from the Holy place (outer chambers).
• This veil separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies, and the average Priest could not enter pass the veil, just the High Priest was allowed to enter pass the veil and this was once a year they could go before God to make the blood offering to God to forgive the nation for all sins.
• Before Jesus’ Blood was shed for the remission of sin for all mankind, we were sinners and could not get to God. So, when Jesus died the veil was ripped, cut in half by the Spirit of God from top to bottom making it possible for all men to come to God freely and boldly to His Throne of Grace.
• Today the blood of animals (bulls, goats, lambs, doves) which is the old covenant has been replaced by the Blood of Jesus. No Priest is needed to make atonement for us. It’s all in the Blood.
• By faith we must trust in the Blood of Jesus. We must believe by faith that we are cleansed through the Blood and the washing of the Word of God daily.
• There is only ONE sacrifice: Jesus Christ so that we don’t have to make sacrifices daily.
• The House of Prayer (the Sanctuary) is not like the marketplace where we assemble ourselves together as unto men, greeting one another with laughter and jokes and gestures, or like a social club.
• Only if men would follow the instructions of God’s Will written and not their own pleasures.
• The Church is God’s administrative agency that represents Him and His Will in earth.
• We are the Church! It is the Church that should enter the House of Prayer-the Sanctuary.
• It is the Church that enters His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise, thanksgiving, and blessing to Him.
• This is the reason believers are not becoming new creatures in Christ because they have been and are being carnally programmed to man’s protocol and schedules in having a form of godliness and denying His Holy power by worshipping God through a “feel good” method of madness.
• Psalm 100:4 is God’s command with total instructions for how Soul should enter the Garden (Order) of God to get into His Eden (His presence, spot, open doors).
• We come into the House of Prayer with jokes and gestures with a hidden agenda or motive that only promotes their Will without God, then we say, “God showed up and showed out in this place” and leaving with less than what we came in with.
• We don’t hear and won’t hear the Word to accept God’s Will because of the way we entered the House of Prayer.
• In order to perceive the Word of God we must allow the Word to make us aware once heard through our senses, we must hear and accept the Will of the Word.
• We now have through the Blood of Jesus access to God at any time all the time through the eternal redemption of the One and Only sacrifice of the Lamb of God.
• We now come individually, without a Priest.
St John 6:44 No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
St John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
• His Blood washes, cleanses, justifies, sanctifies, purifies, heals, delivers, and redeem us out of the bondage of our soul’s enemy.
• The Word of God is God’s instructions for your Soul as a Spirit being before leaving this earth.Amen

Learning How to Choose Through the Power of Will Jesus
Apostle Tracey Robinson
• Your Will is your faculty to use in learning how to choose righteously.
• We say righteously because we already know how to choose unrighteous since we are born in sin, with flesh and its nature of sin.
• Let’s confer about your Will for a moment. Let us discuss and exchange knowledge and thoughts about your Will.
• In terms of power and its abilities there is nothing on earth as powerful as the “human Will” of man.
• The Will of man is so powerful that God Himself does not control it and He gave us the power of Will.
• Will defined as the faculty by which a person decides on and initiates action; a deliberate or fixed desire or intention; control deliberately exerted to do something or to restrain one’s own impulses; make or try to make someone do something or something happen by the exercise of mental powers; intend, desire, or wish something to happen.
• We can see from Webster and them definition that the Will of man in its natural sense can do great good or bad.
• Your Will decides for you, it initiates what you choose; it is deliberate or fixed on its desires, motives, and intentions; it controls; it can restrain its own impulses; it can exercise its mental abilities such as mental strength and mental health.
• Mental strength is the ability to cope with negative emotions in a healthy way; understanding your emotions; and knowing when to and when not to engage with your emotions.
• Mental health is the presence or absence of a mental health issue, your overall state of your mental wellness.
• Building mental strength may improve your mental health: cognitive, emotional, and behavior strengths.
• These are the things that make your Will so powerful!
• God does not control the Will of man because the very nature of Will implies “self-control” and God gave us the power of Will.
• Your Will controls your destiny. And your Will is yours!
• If used righteously, your Will is God’s agency for His Kingdom administration in earth.
• When God originally established His Kingdom on earth where He had put man to be His administration through the Will of man.
Genesis 2:8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden: and there He put the man whom he had formed.
• Garden here in Hebrew means “Order”.
• Eden here means “spot; presence; open door; delightful spot”.
• The Will of man is most dangerous when it is out of the Will of God and His righteousness.
• God’s intent for the Will of man was to use it to fulfill His Will on earth.
• The only problem with the Will is that it gives us the power to choose, even against God, the one who gave us the Will.
• Your Will lives in your heart. Your heart is the seat of control for your life.
• This is why Jesus said that out the heart flows the issues of life.
St Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
• Your heart is the center of your life.
• Whoever or whatever controls your heart controls your life (life meaning soul).
• This is that control that others love to possess over another. This is their Will!
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
Proverbs 15:28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
Proverbs 4:23 Guard (keep) your heart with all diligence; for from it flows springs of life (out of it are the issues of life).
How do I choose God and His righteousness?- Realize you will never be good enough or the time will never be right for you to choose Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior of and over your life (that is soul).
- Salvation is nothing to think that you may need, you must know through awareness that you need God and His righteousness through His Son Jesus, then you will repent.
- Awareness means knowledge or perception of a situation or fact, concern about and well-informed interest in a particular situation or development.
- After hearing the Word of God, you become aware of the fact that the Word is a knowledge of God that exists, but you lack understanding of His existence in your life. So, you began to seek and search for the Lord and answers.
- Your Will gives you the mental strength and drive to go in search of this God that you now have realized that you need in your life.
- To seek the Lord means to turn to Him with a desire to know Him in relationship, and to come into His presence for all your spiritual fulfillment and strength.
- We seek the Lord by faith through prayer and confession. Romans 10:9-10 (Read).
- Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near:
- James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
In closing,
Why do I struggle so after I’ve confessed Jesus and believed in the Word of God?
• The struggle is there because of the issues of your heart that remain, and you won’t surrender all your heart to the Spirit of God for Him to replace it with a new heart and a new spirit, that is of His righteousness, Ezekiel 36:26-27.
• The power is in you through your Will to choose God or Satan, St Matthew 6:24.
• God has given us all the power we need to come back, return to Him when He calls or when we have been made aware that we need Him in our lives while living on earth.
• That power is through your Will’s choice!
• The Will is not exercised through the feelings, but it is guided and lead by your 5-senses through the influence of the flesh and its sinful nature in the knowledge of good and evil.
• Your Will is apart of the mind and emotions of your soul, with the mind being defined as the heart.
• The devil knows that your choice is the key to his battle with God over your soul.
• The devil is not concerned about your body because it is made from dirt.
• The devil is not after your spirit because it is filled with the one that gave you breath.
• Your soul is the mediator between your body and spirit.
• Your soul dictates what your spirit receives.
• Can you see now why it is better to have spiritual discernment in order to minister, preach, and teach to the soul in Spirit and in Truth? Even to prophecy to a soul and not to his body’s natural need.
• Choose by faith and not by sight and feelings!
• Hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting, and touching all come from your senses. Your body is influenced by the flesh and its sinful nature and whatever the 5-senses dictate goes to the soul (mind, Will, and emotions); soul will take what it gets and deposit it into your spirit. This is what will determine the outcome of your daily routine walk whether in Christ or in Satan’s bondage.
• Regulate what your soul is picking up from the senses and their influences from the flesh and its sinful nature.
• Your flesh must die! Crucify the flesh in order to allow the Spirit, soul, and body to reign as one in Christ Jesus.Amen

SONS of GOD Coming up right as a Son of God
Apostle Tracey Robinson
St John 1:12-14 12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to then that believe on His name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the Will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
• To become a son of God you must receive God through Christ.
• God will give you the power to become His son, but there will be a process.
• If you believe on His name, you will become a Son, but there will be a process.
• The Spirit of God will penetrate your spirit to impregnate your spirit with Himself, just as He did with the virgin birth of Jesus through Mary. It takes the spirit of faith to process and believe that this can be done in you as it was done in Mary.
• This is why becoming a born-again new creature in Christ is so important because you must now be born of the Will of God, in Spirit and in Truth and not rely on or liken your new birth to the same as the old natural way that you were originally conceived through the blood and Will of man.
• It is the Spirit of God that will now impregnate your Spirit with Himself to conceive you for Himself, and to birth you Himself. This is not a natural process that will utilize any parts of flesh and blood, or the Will of man and his ability to impregnate a woman.
• God is Spirit. He impregnates your spirit to conceive Himself as the spirit Man, just like He did in the beginning of creating man of Himself.
• In this transforming process God is re-creating you again into His image, after their likeness, and giving you dominion.
• This is what should happen to every born-again new creature in Christ! This is an experience that takes place in every born-again new creature by the power of God that transforms you back into His Will and His Way. It’s a spiritual process where you can only surrender to it, accept it, apply faith, willingness, obedience, and a yes Lord to the process.
• God does this! Not man and his education acquired through the knowledge of good and evil is acceptable or required. This processing is all God’s doings!
• This process to become a son of God is not done and completed based upon the tampering of the Will of man and his knowledge without God.
• So, man can write as many books as he pleases to try and explain a process of God that only your experience in God and with God the Author will produce you as a son of God.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
• To become a son, you must be led by the Spirit of God.
• The word led is the past tense or the past participle of the word lead. God covered it in all and in every generation to come!
• Past tense is a tense that expresses an action that happened in the past while the past participle means a participle that expresses a completed action of the past action.
• The past participle creates different forms of past tenses a state which previously existed.
• For example, if you think of the past tense as a Lego set, the past participle would be a single Lego piece. One piece of that set.
• So, when we speak of our old nature (old man) we are speaking of a previously existed nature which is past tensed. The born-again new creature that has been awakened by the Spirit of God’s Word is the completed work of God of your past action called sin.
• To be led by the Spirit of God is a continuing process of God to where He leads you which means He will guide, direct, and to bring you to a conclusion.
2 Corinthians 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
• The Word of God is speaking gender here: My sons and daughters.
• But in the beginning in Genesis 1:26-27 God created the spirit Man.
• Verse 27 says so God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He Him: male and female created He them.
• It is the body suit that we wear that distinguish the difference between the male Man and the female Man. That’s all! We all are the spirit Man inside.
Galatians 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
• Sonship of every believer must be awarded and given by the Spirit of God and Satan and all his crew will have to Amen and acknowledge the fact that “truly you are a son of God”. In other words, Satan has to AMEN God’s completed work of His word in you.
• This is done when you have met the requirements of the Spirit of God and Satan for your soul.
• All that God allows and permits! All the tests, trials, tribulations, the lost, the gain, the struggles, the sacrifices, and the sufferings all for the namesake of Christ Jesus.
• All the fasting, prayers, praise, worship; all the interceding, witnessing, soul winning, etc.
• We all must strive to become sons, not just a believer that struggles at and after every way of change that comes with being a new creature in Chris, but a son.
• Strive to become a champion in Christ.
• Strive to become a front-line soldier in the battle of Christ for the souls of mankind.
• Strive to produce the fruit of Salvation in Christ which is the fruit of the Spirit.
• Strive to permit God to complete the “virgin birth” in your spirit as a new creature in Him.
• Why should you and I do all this?
Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
1 John 3:1-2 1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.
• Sons of God are set apart from the world, the flesh, and the devil.
• The world, the flesh, and the devil will hate you because they hated Christ Jesus first and if He be in you and you in Him, they will hate you likewise.
• Only a son of God can see God as He is.
• To be Christ like is to become a son of God. Don’t settle for less!
• Don’t allow the Will of you flesh and its sin nature to keep you being ruled by your past, your flesh, and its sinful nature before hearing the Word of God and allowing it to transform you into becoming a son.
• Don’t let your soul struggle through the lusts, desires, practices, habits, and behavior of your flesh controlling and ruling your body in order to keep your soul in bondage and in servitude to it.
• Your body is ruled by your flesh and its nature.
• Your body being ruled by your flesh and its sinful nature is an outward process and appearance.
• Most of the time in this age of tradition and religion that is all they see and will fellowship with.
• We know that man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart of the inward man.
Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
• The Law is holy, but the Law was made sin through the flesh that constantly operated in our bodily organs and members so that we had no fruit and bore only fruit of death.
• All the nature of your flesh produces is death!
• Until and when your flesh is deadened, then crucified by the Will of God’s Word your body is still subject to the learned behavior of the flesh and its nature.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
• When a person has accepted Salvation but does not obey to live its prescribed principles, laws, and methods, they love the scriptures that says, “we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23); “judge not. Don’t judge me” (St Matthew 7:1). Or the scripture that says, he that is without sin let him cast the first stone” (St John 8:7).
• Being “self-righteous”, though saved, there is nothing godly, holy, or righteous about their life and lifestyle.
• A body ruled Salvation is one with no spiritual growth and no knowledge of their spirituality in Christ. It is just a feel-good method influenced by their sin nature through their 5-senses!
• When your soul is being ruled in Salvation by the Spirit of the Word this is spiritual growth, maturity, and transformation being processed as he (soul) comes into the knowledge of God through the acceptance of Christ Jesus in heart and mind.
• Your soul must strive to receive the indwelling Spirit of God, His Holy Spirit to govern, rule, and possess him (soul) and to keep him as the flesh and its sinful nature is being extinguished from controlling the body through and with its impulses of sin.
• Extinguished here means to render void its rights or obligations to the body of man.
• In doing so, your soul will begin to exhibit the true nature and potentials of God, after their likeness within himself. As soul continues to come into his full awareness of Christ Jesus, the body’s commands being downloaded now to your soul will no longer struggle and be in “limbo.”
• Limbo here means the state or condition of your soul taking on the process of becoming a son of God.
• You now manifest and reveal the fullness of Christ Jesus in you as a son of God. This is the spirit ruling growth whereas the Holy Spirit is now taking over and His Will through your spirit and your soul has reached a place in his spirituality and moral developments in Christ.
• To become a son of God as the scriptures requires is a process that every soul must conform to.
• This is your state of being advanced in God whereas you are now portraying Jesus. This sonship authorizes you to judge the state of and behavior of those that are being processed in and by the righteousness of God through your total surrendered life and lifestyle in earth.
1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
• You as a son have now become the spirit being, encased in a body in the earth realm with the spiritual knowledge, spiritual discernment, spiritual identity, spiritual character, mind, and behavior as a son to know how to continue the works of Christ Jesus according to the Will of God in earth.
• So, when challenged you will say what Jesus said.
St John 5:19-20 19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth Him all things that Himself doeth: and He will shew Him greater works than these that ye may marvel.
• When we become a son of God, Christ has returned through you, not to destroy the Law of God or the prophets, but to declare and fulfill the Will of God.
• As a son you should be continuing to do as Jesus did save, set free the captives from the bondage of sin in their generations and the generations to come.
• Becoming a son of God is not the end of the world and God declaring time no more, but it is the end for the sins of this world and its harvest when we all come to being sons released in the earth.
• Jesus as a son was a quickening spirit. He came as a life-giving spirit to the soul of man.
• To be a son of God that same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead must dwell in you, (Romans 8:11) quicken your mortal body by His Spirit that now lives and reside in you.
• Everywhere your footsteps tread in the earth you become like the tree of life bearing the fruits of the Spirit of Christ that gives life.
• Sons of God are fully matured in Him for the world, the flesh, and the devil to see Christ in you, the hope of glory walking the earth again through and in you as He did before.
• You who have been chosen by God to make it known through you what is, what it takes, and what will be known what the riches of the glory of the mystery of Christ among many is, many others, which is Christ in you displayed as a son. (Colossians 1:27).
• As a son you are truly in love with God your Father first and there is nothing in between your relationship with Him, and there is nothing you won’t do for Him in earth.
St John 14:31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
• In becoming a son of God, we all start out as a “believer in process” but we must strive to go through every victory for God in the shedding of, the killing of our flesh and its sinful nature in order for all of Christ Jesus to take His full abode in you.
• Christ Jesus must become Himself in you in the earth so as He is in Heaven. This process is guaranteed to get rid of all of you and all that you know about you.
• Then you can boldly say as the Word says,
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
• God is holding us all accountable when we witness, teach, preach, and minister all over the place except in the areas of how we must be torn down to be built up by the Spirit of God and His Will as our foundation.
• Instead, many are witnessing, teaching, preaching, and ministering in “bits and pieces” that which gives no spiritual foundation, no spirituality to the spiritual growth to the soul and spirit man.
• When we don’t follow God’s Will to witness, teach, preach, and minister to the soul of man, man struggles to put in the pieces of righteousness together in their life that will transform him into becoming the portrait of Christ Jesus within.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJV Amplified And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
• This coming is not the coming of the end of time but the coming of you and I being called out of this world by God into our place of eternity after God Himself has judged us based upon the life and lifestyle of your soul in earth.
• Jesus was spiritually disciplined. We must be spiritually disciplined with nothing orchestrated by the natural man, his Will in the knowledge of good and evil influenced and processed through his 5-senses, but only to the Will of God.
• It is the Spirit of God that will spiritually teach us and take us through the whole, entire, and complete spiritual processing in Him.Amen

Spiritual HindrancesWhat is blocking your spirituality in Christ? What is blocking the new creature in you from his spiritual growth?Is it really the devil’s fault? Or your fault in choices?What is it that truly stops the flow of God and His anointing in you, leaders?
Apostle Tracey RobinsonJob 14:1 MAN that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
• Every man (that is male man and female man) born of a woman in earth are born with some type of issue(s) called hindrances.
• Hindrances that are already in the sinful flesh nature of the body that you will fight and it will fight back at you; hindrances that you will deny; hindrances that are inherited and passed on through generational curses, soul ties, etc.; hindrances that you will be unwilling to admit to surrendering it; or hindrances you may want to give up to resolve it (or them) but you experience great difficulty in doing so till you give up fighting with it to just live with it.
• Some other spiritual hindrances are: pride, fear, embarrassment, a lack of desire or interest in the Way of God and His righteousness, but just want to hang around; belief in supernatural powers like sciences, magic, spiritism, witchcraft, positive/negative energies; talking to and conjuring up the dead; believing you can worship, and praise God your way and how you feel; believing that you can transform yourself to become spiritually aware of yourself; looking for a sign in everything to mean what you need to make you a better natural person; etc.
• No matter what the reasons are these are still matters, issues, situations, and circumstances that are in your heart from your flesh’s nature that will greatly affect your spirituality and its growth in Christ Jesus.
• In other words, it is YOUR natural, physical, and mental hindrances of YOUR natural man that can and will block your spiritual awareness and its growth in Christ, especially when you choose not to ask God through His Son Jesus to save you and let Him fight these spiritual battles that you were born in and daily surrendering so that you can receive total deliverance from them.
• A spiritual hindrance to your spirituality is when your flesh and its sinful nature deceives you when your spirituality (or your spiritual awareness to righteousness) is heighten to a level that will cause you to hear, repent, believe, forgive, and accept the Will of God for you as a new creature in Him.
• A hindrance is anything that impedes, obstructs, stops, or retards progress; anything that blocks or inhibits us from receiving what is right through the Word and by the Blood of Jesus.
• A hindrance is also any legal stronghold that the enemy of your soul has over you.
• We discussed “soul ties” on last Wednesday which is also a spiritual hindrance and a spiritual stronghold that has attached itself to your soul to keep you from ever progressing and moving into the realms of your spirituality that will lead you back to the Father.
• It is the power of your flesh and its sin nature that keeps you from being transformed to be healed, delivered, prosperous, set free, matured (perfect), and sanctified for the use of the Spirit of God in the earth.
• Your flesh loves the Law of God because it is impossible for the flesh and its nature to comply with God’s Will under the Law.
• Many leaders preach and teach from the Old Testament because of the excuses and weaknesses they can obtain for the flesh and its inability to “man up” according to the Will of God.
• The flesh always has an excuse for you to tell when you attempt to live the life that God has already planned and purposed for you.
• Tradition and religion love the flesh and its nature. Tradition and religion rely on the Word of God through the flesh.
• Your flesh and its nature hate God and is an enemy of God. The flesh and its nature are a power of its own without the power of the Holy Ghost.
Romans 8:3-4 KJV Amplified 3 For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice], 4 So that the righteousness and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit].
• The flesh can and will never be saved or converted!!
• Spiritual hindrances stem from the sinful nature of the flesh, its lust, habits, practices, and desires.
• This is why as spirit beings we must be careful how we desire for the things of this world and not have our affections set on things above in Heaven. (Colossians 3:2).
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
• Prayers at all times, on every occasion, in every season in the Spirit can destroy all of your spiritual hindrances.
• The Spirit of God will guide, lead, correct, and direct your choices which create your daily and nightly paths.
• The Spirit of God will guide, lead, correct, and direct your soul in all truth.
• Praying in Spirit and in Truth builds relationship with the Spirit of God.
• You must grow to make the Spirit of God your choice so that He can do His best for you.
• Let the Spirit of the Word give you spiritual discernment and stop trying to discern your spirituality through natural, carnal eyes that have no faith.Amen

What is a soul hindrance that will keep your soul from reconciling back to the Father? – Soul Ties
Apostle Tracey RobinsonDistinguishing (differentiate, discern, and perceive the differences) between the soul, spirit, and body.
• The soul and spirit are alike in their nature and in their activities.
• The spirit Man is recognized as the life principle bestowed on man by God. God breathed into the nostrils of Man to give life.
• The soul as the resulting life constituted from God’s breath made us an individual soul.
• The body is a material organism that is animated by the soul and spirit. (Genesis 2:7).
• The body is the physical structure of the soul and spirit Man, including the bones, flesh, and organs.
• The flesh has the nature of Satan, the devil because of the rebellion of Adam and Eve toward God and His command (Genesis 2:16-17), which made us all born in sin with the sinful nature of the flesh.
• When Man was originally created, he was created in the image, which is the nature of God after their likeness, meaning we function just like God; and was given dominion. (Genesis 1:26-27).
• Man is a spirit being. Man is not a gender; man is a spirit. Spirits have no gender! We are a spirit living in a dirt suit.Who is the enemy of the soul of Man? What is it that hinders your soul from fully awakening and staying woken in your spirituality? What is it that hinders your soul from being fully reconciled back to God? What is that thing? Who is that person? Where is that place?
• Satan is the enemy of the soul of Man, your soul. Satan is the enemy of God.
• Satan is not everywhere at the same time and does not know everything as God. He is not all-wise and all-knowing as God is.
• God is omniscient (knows all things and everything); God is omnipotent (all power); God is omnipresent (everywhere at the same time). The prefix “omni” means all.
• For those of us who are in a personal relationship with God, there is nothing hidden from Him about us so we can be always completely open and honest with Him. This makes it so easy for the scripture to be applied and accepted as in 1 Peter 5:7 casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.
• Satan uses every tactic, wiles, and devices that are known and common to the physical man’s state without God, along with his past to keep him in bondage and captivity to what man has purposely learned, know, and do so that he will remain in the flesh depending on his 5-senses in the knowledge of good and evil.
• Satan oversees and delegates his power and authority to the fallen angels (demons) while he influences the governments of countries and their leadership; active religious leaders; and well-known influential people like TV evangelist, preachers, teachers, and prophets that we so dearly love and follow faithfully.
• Satan himself deals with the principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, and their spiritual wickedness in high places to trap, deceive, and influence the whole being of mankind. Everything else is his “light work” and that is given to the demons to take care of.
• Man without the influence of God is Satan’s light work.
• Man being transformed by the power of God in and over his whole life is a threat to Satan and his kingdom of darkness in the earth, especially when man accepts and applies God’s way in the knowledge of good and truth. You have now become a threat to the devil and all he does.
• Spiritual warfare is awarded to those that have been spiritually trained by the Spirit of God through and in His instructions, guidance, and His total influence; trained as a host or an army that can come to together spiritually to be used by the Spirit of God in the earth to warfare in spiritual conflicts by praying that the Will of God be done on earth so as it is in Heaven against the enemy’s power of influence, temptations, deceptions, trickery, false accusations, etc., through the flesh’s nature against the soul of Man.
• All power has been given to Jesus in Heaven and in earth, St Matthew 28:18.What is it that hinders your soul to keep it from fully awakening to return to the Father through His Son Jesus? What is your hinderance? Who is your hindrance?
• Job is a perfect example of a spiritual conflict that manifested in physical form. The Word teaches us and gives us a clear look and understanding of what happened to Job concerning his life in the spirit realm.
• Spiritual struggles consist of having spiritual conflicts between God, within oneself, and with others. This is all in relations to accepting God and His Will as your Father (Divine), becoming a Son (internal), and learning how to be with others and deal with others spiritually (interpersonal relations).
• God looked upon Job as being a righteous man. God said that Job was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil, (Job 1:1). Eschewed here means that Job deliberately avoided using evil; he abstained from evil.
• Satan wanted to prove to God that Job would only serve him for stuff, his possessions, and wealth. Satan is an accuser of the brother day and night.
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before God day and night.
• So, God permitted Satan to prove Him wrong about Job. Job’s spiritual conflict began. All that Job had was destroyed, his health and friends turned against him.
• A long story short Job became the victor because of his faithfulness to God in word, deed, action, and thoughts throughout his whole test, trial, and tribulation.
• Job’s victory was spiritual, physical, and materialistic. God returned to him all that he had lost.• Through the knowledge of good and truth salvation makes believers aware of the world, the flesh, and the devils influence and how they are an enemy to God’s Will and Way.
• Spiritual growth in Christ guides, leads, instruct, aid, and assist the new creature in you as a believer on how to operate in the world, mortify to crucify your flesh, and to submit your whole self to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you.
• For some believers their spiritual conflicts and spiritual warfare are fought within themselves by understanding the circumstances and situations that the enemy uses to destroy their Will and desire to turn to Jesus, but whole-heartedly they won’t surrender all to Jesus to allow Him to possess and control the enemy’s tactics against your soul.
• For some believers they can accept some truth, but not the whole truth of how the world, their flesh, and the devil lures them and tempts them to entrap them which will cause their soul not to hear or no longer hear the Word nor apply the Word to their heart.
• We make it hard for the Word, not that the Word cannot do it, but we make it hard for the Word to fight for our soul when we won’t truthfully grasp the spiritual reality of what is going on in our own hearts and mind. This makes the believer exhausted and weary in doing what they believe is of Christ when they won’t allow the Word to work in its spirituality for their soul.
• So, we suffer in our flesh by trying to deny the pleasures of it and not feed its desires. This makes us constantly in battle between what we want to do versus what we know to do as a new creature in Christ. This is that form of godliness that denies the power of God!
• Salvation has come through Jesus Christ to give us the power to overcome our sins and its grasps and captivity over our soul.
• When we accept Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior the spiritual battle over your soul gets intense. Satan will try to attack you from every angle of your past that is not dead, hoping to persuade you from giving your whole heart to the Lord Jesus by causing you to doubt and have unbelief.
• Satan will use the “weakest link” and the “closest ones” to you in circumstances, people, stuff, money, marriage, relationships, etc., to undo what God has done in your heart for Himself and to cause you to doubt God and His Will for you knowing that it takes faith to please God.Soul Ties
• Soul tie is a strong spiritual and emotional connection you have with someone you are intimate with, especially sexual intimacy.
• You can develop deep soul ties with people in your life and it doesn’t always have to be engaged in through sexual intimacy.
• Soul ties can be ungodly and unhealthy.
• A parent can have a soul tied to their child or children whereas their life is bound to the life of that child or children.
Genesis 44:30-31 KJV Amplified 30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the lad’s life and his soul knit with the lad’s soul, 31 When he sees that the lad is not with us, he will die; and your servants will be responsible for his death and will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.
• This is Jacob and Benjamin. A parent with a soul tie to his son.
• Jacob’s life was bound up with his son’s life. This is far more than a healthy relations or affection for a child.
• It’s an obsession that is ungodly and unhealthy.
• Jacob was bound by the life (soul) of his son Benjamin.
• When your child does something like disrespects you or something that you don’t like or they won’t do what you want them to do you as the parent you feel like you are going to die because of their actions and reactions of coming against you. This is a soul tie!
• As parents we are not the soul source for our children.
• A soul tie will bind you to your child or children or to whoever you have been sexually intimate with to the point that you will die, you don’t have a sense of purpose without them, you don’t know how to make it through the moment of a day without them.
• Your child or children with your affections and excuses toward them has become your bondage.
• An unhealthy soul tie when you have a close connection to your best friend.
1 Samuel 18:1 When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own life.
• Here the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David.
• The word knit here means to merge or combine with the soul, not with the spirit or body, but his soul’s Will, emotions, and mind. This is also a spirit of control!
• Jonathan loved David as his own soul.
• This can be a unhealthy soul tie between best friend’s souls.
• People make vows and commitments to each other in the place of making a vow and commitment to God through His Son Jesus.
Exodus 20:3 Thou shall have no other gods before or besides Me.
• Jonathan died and David grieved.
• A soul tie that causes you to lose your joy, peace, and life is unhealthy with anyone.
• Anytime a soul tie comes out of a place that you don’t have with God it means that you are trying to replace God in your life with other persons. This becomes a spirit of idolatry!
• Believers that have soul ties have no soul connection to God through Jesus.
• Examine your heart.
• Is it connected, knitted, united, or cleaving to the presence of God or others to replace the presence of God?
• Is this soul tie bringing you closer to God? Or closer to the person that you are emotionally and spiritually attached to?
• When people use you to become all they need in the earth that’s a soul tie.
• An unhealthy or ungodly soul tie will pull you away from God, His love, and His Will for you.
• A soul tie is a relational attachment to someone or something that affects the immaterial part of you, which is your soul.
• Soul is the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.
• Immaterial means spiritual, rather than physical.
• At the end of the day, who do you ascribe to?
• Unhealthy soul ties can start out by making you feel supported, loved, and connected, but the hidden agenda is the spirit of control that is lurking with the motive of a healthy soul ties.Symptoms of negative soul ties
• Feeling trapped in a relationship.
• Feeling like you can’t live without the other person.
• Feeling codependent on the other person.
• Feeling controlled by the other person.
• Making excuses for the other person’s bad behavior.
• Always putting the other person’s needs first.
• Keeping you from having a healthy relationship with other people.
• A hindrance to your spiritual growth that prevents you from having a close relationship with God.How to break a soul tie?
• Recognize that you have a soul tie by examining your current and past relations and acknowledge it.
• Pray. Pray asking the Father for help to renounce this bond from you and the other person. Leave it on the altar and allow God to take it. Give thanks to the Lord for hearing you and healing you.
• Fast. Fast for strength and direction as you surrender and renounce this emotional and spiritual bondage.
• Study the Word. Ask the Spirit of God to give you His Word to study that will keep you in His patience while you wait on Him.
• Wean yourself by detaching from the person; spend less time with the person that you have the negative soul tie to.
• Renounce commitments or vows made that only include you and that person only.
• Forgive the person and forgive yourself. When we forgive someone this releases the grips of their pain from you and your pain also that brought you together.
• Breaking soul ties is not something that you can do alone on your own, so seek the Lord God. Allow Him to fill the void that you allowed this other person to fill.
• The soul is the part of us that longs for connection and intimacy.
• When we experience soul ties, it is sometimes because we have been hurt or disappointed by someone that is/was close to us.
• The pain from these hurts (wounds) can cause us to build up walls of hardness in our hearts, which will prevent us from fully experiencing the love and intimacy that our soul longs for from our Father God.
• People will use one another to fill a void that is reserved for the Spirit of God to avoid submitting, committing, and surrendering their all to Christ.
• And if they don’t want to grow in Christ you can rest assure that you’re not going to grow either because of an attachment called a soul tie.Amen

Spiritual Connection-Don’t Get The Wrong Connection
Apostle Tracey Robinson• Many believers are deceived and are being deceived into thinking that they can transform themselves by living under the standards, morals, and values of their flesh, its nature, and the Old Testament Law.
• BUT if there is no spiritual connection between your Soul and the Spirit of God through His Son Jesus and the Spirit of the Word of God there is be no spiritual awakening in your soul.
• In other words, you will not be spiritually awakened to be reconciled back to the Father in order to spiritually communicate with Him in His Kingdom as a citizen; in His Body as a member; and in His Church as His representing agent/His ambassador as it was set up in the beginning before the fall of Adam.
• A spiritual connection with the Spirit of God through Jesus is the plan of God toward the spirit being in you in earth.
• God is spirit! He ONLY communicates with you in your spirituality, not your body and not through your flesh.
• In your spiritual connection you MUST know your authentic self as a new creature in Christ.
• Your spirituality is your life being tuned in and focused in on the fact that God not only created you but that there is an origin, a genuine fact that your human senses and its needs does not tell you the whole story about who you are, why I’m I here, whose you are, and what is your purpose in life while on the earth. Tapping into your spirituality will reveal to you the answers to these questions and much, much more about your spiritual identity.
• Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.
• It is the soul that makes us living spirit beings encased in a body called human beings.
• When you as a new creature in Christ has been spiritually connected back to the Father through Jesus you are secured physically, mentally, and spiritually connected to Him who created you and His Righteousness.
• How do you know this? It is His Spirit in you and the knowledge of His Presence that calms you to the point that all of your old nature habits, practices, lust, behaviors, and comforts from disappoints, disapprovals, rejections, sicknesses, diseases, anxieties, nervousness, fears, etc., will go away from you and His presence, BUT you must be in Him.
• Romans 8:9 tells us that if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.
• Having the Spirit of Christ is your proof, evidence that you are a new creature, a new man in Christ and that His Spirit dwells in you in ownership, management, possession, control, and influence.
• In all of this your Soul now has become God’s media representing God in the earth through your Will, mind and emotions.
• The Holy Spirit must rule, reign, and dominate the earth through your Soul.
• 3 John verse 2 says beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
• The Kingdom of God is the kingdom of the soul, the kingdom of the heart. If the Kingdom does not get into your soul, then the Kingdom cannot dominate the earth and the earth will never see the rulership of God.
• Lust is not a spiritual connection; love is a spiritual connection. Pride is not a spiritual connection; Humility is spiritual.
• The Kingdom of God is the Gospel of Jesus Christ in you coming to destroy the kingdom of darkness that has been set up in the heart of Man since the fall of Adam and Eve.
• In the Kingdom of God, God’s Will is obeyed. You are not in the Kingdom of God in any disobedience or sin.
• Jesus said in St Luke 17:21 said that the spiritual Kingdom of God is within you.
• The Kingdom of God is not a religion nor is it a denomination.
• Religion and its tradition try to substitute itself with the Kingdom of God, but the Kingdom of God comes not with observation (St Luke 17:20). The Pharisees asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God would come and Jesus’ response was the Kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed or with visible display,
• The attraction and expansion of the Kingdom of God in the earth starts in you, in your heart. This is why it is so detrimental that your heart has been replaced by the Spirit of God.
• The Kingdom of God is not revealed through or as a sign of materialistic possessions and goods.
• The Kingdom of God is not influenced or triggered by race, creed, or color; or money; social status.
• Romans 14:17 KJV Amplified [After all] the Kingdom of God is not a matter of [getting the] food and drink [one likes], but instead it is righteousness (that state which makes a person acceptable to God) and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
• Jesus’ teachings of the Kingdom of God are one of His key elements taught in the New Testament drawn on the Old Testament teachings to bring in a total understanding of God’s purpose then and now.
• The Kingdom of God is not a physical Kingdom, but it is a transformation of the heart, mind, Will, and emotions in the response of your soul to the Will of God. This is your spiritual life!
• The Kingdom of God is for every new creature in Christ to become citizens of our Kings Kingdom.
• In the Kingdom of God there is no backbiting, no dissension, no schism, sewing of discord, fighting, no fleshly doings in the Kings dwelling.
• The nature of the Kingdom of God is unstoppable in the earth through you and is our inheritance prepared for us all from the foundation of the world.
• St Matthew 25:34 KJV Amplified Then the King will say to those at His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God and appointed to eternal salvation], inherit (receive as your own) the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
• There are conditions to enter into the Kingdom of God: Your new birth is St John 3:3, 5-6 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
• Humility, St Matthew 5:3; sympathetic service, St Matthew 25:34-35; perseverance, St Luke 9:62; endurance, Acts 14:22; faith and love, James 2:5.There is a relationship between Christ and His Body called the Church:
• The Body of Christ is the spiritual Body of Jesus Christ and He is the Head of His Body.
• Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church: and He is the saviour of the body.
• We are the body of Christ and members of it when there is no schism in the body and all members of His body have the same care one for another. If one member suffers, all members suffer; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 1 Corinthians 12:25-27.
• The Church is spiritual Body of Christ. A body of unified believers.
• Unified means that we are all on the same page, working toward the same common goal of the Spirit of God through His Son, doing the same spiritual things and saying the same spiritual things.
• The Church can and will never be destroyed. As a matter of fact, the Church grows in persecution.
• St Matthew 16:18-19 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
• The Church is the agency of God in the earth that represents the Kingdom of Heaven and all its entities.
• Ephesians 1:22-23 22 And hath put all things under his feet and gave Him to be the head over all things to the Church, 23 Which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.
• Having a spiritual connection, not fleshly or flesh and blood, but is the new man’s way of believing and trusting in God that makes preparation and transformation for eternal living in Him a pleasure to experience and encounter. Now you know that you are in the Kingdom living!
• God reigns and will forever reign! Revelation 11:17. When you declare and decree to the devil tell him this!
• 1 Corinthians 4:20 KJV Amplified For the Kingdom of God consists of and is based on not talk but power (moral power and excellence of soul).
• The Kingdom of God comes with power.
• Being in Christ is our passport into the Kingdom of God and in becoming a citizen.Amen

The Working of MiraclesApostle Tracey Robinson 2023 All Rights Reserved
1 Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
What is the purpose of a miracle? What is a miracle? When was the last time you experienced a miracle? When was the last time you were present where a miracle occurred? When was the last time you witnessed a miracle? Can man perform miracles? If not, who then performs miracles?
• The primary purpose of a miracle is not to meet the human need of man but to point people (souls) to the one and only TRUE God revealed through His Son Jesus Christ.
• The purpose of a miracle is to glorify God as He confirms His Truth in His Word in the earth as well as in you.
• We tend to think that everything and anything is a miracle that is good to us, that we find pleasures and desires in it to meet our needs or to give to us in over abundance. We tend to call that a miracle!
• We identify a miracle to worldly, fleshly possessions and in education received by the letter.
• A miracle is a sign that defies human ability to restore creation (you) back to its original state created and intended by God.St Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
• This verse of scripture was referring to the Divine ability of God overshadowing Mary, a virgin to become impregnated (to soak or saturate something with a substance), by the power of the Highest (that is the Spirit of God) with the incarnation (the embodiment of God as a Son in human flesh) of Himself as a Son.
• And the Angel that appeared to Mary also told her that her cousin Elisabeth had also conceived a son in her old age and was in her 6th month of pregnancy though she was called barren.
• Just because you can have sex and conceive or too old to reproduce from sex it is God that opens the womb of a woman to conceive.
• Making every pregnancy a God given purpose!
• Biblically speaking, a miracle is when the Kingdom of God dominates the environment of the earth.
• Definition wise according to Webster and them is an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs.
• This is when God interrupts and intervenes in a human situation by coming in with His power to do what would never happen unless He steps into it.
• Miracles exemplify the limitless power of God’s ability. This is why everybody and anybody born again does not obtain this ability!
• The Word of God is full of miracles performed by the power of God. Name some miracles that you know of that God manifest. Do you know any or of any?
• Dominion over the earth is a miracle.
• When we travel on the highways, byways, airways, etc., the Lord gives His Angels charge over you and I: that is normal Kingdom life and lifestyle.
• It is a miracle when God gives us His Divine protection.Psalm 91:11-12 11 For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
• Please note that the scripture says “His Angels” not your angels.
• Jesus said in St Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in Heaven their angels do always behold the face of My Father which is in Heaven.
• They are watching God, observing God for their instructions pertaining to you.
• Again, please note that we have no control over the angels in Heaven. Their face is always looking toward the Father on our behalf; to see; watch; observe the face of the Father.
• The teachings that believers have control over angels are false doctrine!
• When we get our dominion back that was once given to us God will have control in the earth through you and you will transport His Spirit where He need to go to work miracles.• Here is the greatest individual miracle of all: Your Salvation. This is when your soul heard the Word of God, and he was awakened (resuscitated by the Word) as a new creature coming into his spirituality, that is his spiritual life in Christ to be reconciled back to the Father.
• The miracle here is God did this, not tradition and religion; not a fleshly inheritance; not because you were the Pastor’s favorite and their armor bearer, their right hand; not because of nothing you/we have done, etc. BUT because God called you by attracting you to Him through His Son Jesus.
• Another miracle of your Salvation is that God’s power that rose you from your spiritual death is that same Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead and can keep you until He calls you home. That is the working of miracles!
• How God keeps us and sustains us day and night is a miracle? How He protects us from dangers seen and unseen is a miracle?Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.
• This is your feeling right here if any! The quickening power of the Spirit of God raising you up from a spiritual death.
• This quickening power keeps you spiritually awakened to the Will of God in Christ, to His purpose, and to enable you to do it.2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament; not of the letter but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.
• A miracle is your spiritual resurrection that keeps on raising you up to be seated with Him in Heavenly places. Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
• A miracle is Christ in you and you in Him the Hope of Glory. Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you; the hope of glory.
• To be able to obtain the knowledge of God, understand it, and maintain it to incorporate it into your daily living and lifestyle routinely in you is a miracle.2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
• Your old man, its nature, and its past must die to the Will of God when God awaken your soul to be spiritually raised from your spiritual death.
• This is a miracle that keeps on working with no human intervening!
• A new man that is spiritually renewed and reconciled back to the Father; a new spirit man (not gender) with a new character that is of Christ Jesus; a new heart; a new mind; a new spirit; and being transformed back into the image of God after their likeness. This is truly the work of a miracle in you!• Another working of a miracle is when you witness to minister Christ to a soul the Spirit of God is there ready and waiting on your heart and mouth to line up with His Will for that soul to be set free, restored, delivered, and reconciled back to the Father; enabling them to now be able to make a conscious choice to choose God and choose to give up their old life and its style with the devil. This is a working miracle taking place in you and that soul!
• When we really know and understand the power that possesses you and the power you possess with the King of the Kingdom you won’t choose nothing else; you won’t doubt Him and His abilities for you and over your life; you won’t be so quick to hear and listen to a stranger’s voice and doctrine over the voice and the Word of God.
• As a new creature in Christ, you will find yourself content in and as being another miracle of God in the earth.
• When the Kingdom of God dominates the earth through you then healings take place to any and all that are near; blind eyes are open; lame will walk; the spiritually dead are awakened; correcting the cells, blood, breath in the bodies are corrected; addictions, diseases, wickedness, mental illnesses/disorders; generational curses; etc., are all destroyed by the power of God’s presence dominating and all are healed.
• God supplying our need is not a miracle! That is a part of His benefits to you as a Kingdom citizen!Philippians 4:19 But My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
• Every miracle, all miracles require the Spirit of God’s presence to dominate the earth to perform His Will in you and through you.
• Everything and all things that God does for the spirit man in his conformity and transformation is nothing short of a miracle.
• The new creature in you is a miracle! It is the unexplainable impact of the power of God to regenerate you and I by His “dunamis” power that stems from His love, His Word, and His pleasures from His heart toward us.
• When you as a witness or leader have been given the power to bring souls out of the fires of their Hell you have the gift to work miracles. You also have the power to go the distance it will take with them to usher (literally deliver) these soul(s) into the Hand of the Lord God for His continuing transforming process.
• Soul winners must have the gift of the working of miracles.
• Preaching, hooping, doing the holy dance, always prophesying won’t bring souls out of the fires of their Hell without the power of God orchestrating the work to be done through you.
• Miracles is what God does to let you and I know that He holds the original blueprint and pattern to the spirit Man.
• Miracles cannot be produced by natural agents and human means.
• The working of miracles is designed so that men might know the power of God.
• God’s possession and control in and over the working of miracles is His sign of Divine authority overall.Amen

Thoughts and Intents of your heartApostle Tracey Robinson 2023 All Rights Reserved
• 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
