Exposing Secrets of The Heart

EXPOSING SECRETS OF THE HEART

“For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” – Matthew‬ ‭12:34‬b NIV

If you are anything like me, you have found yourself becoming increasingly more concerned by what is going on in the world.  The pervasiveness of hatred, perversion, deception, greed, slander, violence and the like.

Everyday people suddenly explode into seething anger at the tiniest spark, because the pressure of what is growing inside of them becomes greater than what they are able to contain.

Scripture cautions us that what we harbor in our hearts can only remain a secret for so long, before the pressures of life cause its contents to come spilling out.

What is in YOUR heart?  What will your words and actions divulge about what is hidden there?

Father, change our hearts!  Your Word says that the heart of man is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jer 17:9).  Heal us from the inside out!  Holy Spirit reveal the truth about what we hold inside.  Cleanse us from all unrighteousness!

Help us to hide Your Word in our hearts (Ps 119:11), so we will choose words of blessing, encouragement, peace and salvation.  Give us the heart of Jesus, that every word we speak would be truth spoken in love.  May Your irrefutable truth confound the enemy, and bring revelation, life and hope to a world languishing in darkness, death and despair.

Father, our hearts are sick at the condition of our world.  Send revival, Lord.  Begin with the heart of Your church.  In Jesus’ Name ❤️

A City On A Hill

A CITY ON A HILL By:  Julie Souza Bradley Lilly “You are light for the world. A city cannot be hidden when it is located on a hill. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket. Instead, everyone who lights a lamp puts it on a lamp stand. Then its light shines on everyone in the house.” – Matthew‬ ‭5:14-15‬ ‭GW‬‬ And I saw thousands of souls struggling in a churning sea.  Under the darkness of a moonless sky, without a boat, they were tossed.  Beneath them sharks swam, nipping at heels, eliciting sharp cries from those who flailed.  It caused them to cling to their neighbor, pushing them to submerge, sputter and gasp.  Exhaustion, chaos and hopelessness hovered over the waters like a mist, obscuring the small points of light that seeped out from around the boarded windows of the nearby city on a hill.  The city on a hill—a beacon of hope to those drowning, contained behind windows shuttered with fear. Lord, we see chaos all around us —man’s inhumanity to man— fear, anxiet

Paul’s Handkerchief Prayer

Image
Good morning, my friend!  Good morning, Father! “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” - Deuteronomy 31:6 Lord, we don’t have to be the only one in a room to feel alone.  We can be in a coliseum full of people and still feel lonely.  We feel alone in our skin.  You encourage us to not forsake meeting together as a church (Hebrews 10:25), but it is the internal companionship that keeps us from feeling loneliness in that packed coliseum. Father, I lift my friend.  Your Word says that where two or more are gathered in Your Name, You are there in the midst of them.  So Lord, as in Acts 19:12 when Paul sent a blessed handkerchief to the sick and they were healed, likewise, across time and space I take hands with Your precious child.  Together we bow before You and admit we need You.  We invite Your presence.  If they feel lonely or alone today, in their life or in

Beauty Among the Ashes

Good morning, my friend!  Good morning, Father!   “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that   I would see the goodness of the Lord in  the land of the living.   Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage,   And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” - Psalm 27:13-14 Father, we thank You that with You all things are possible.  All around us there are financial troubles, poverty, disease, depression, anxiety, divorces, confusion, disappointment, illness, loss, pain and grief.  The list goes on and on.  People are suffering, Father, and are clinging to the last vestiges of hope.   Lord, I lift up my friend.  You know precisely what weighs on their mind today, and which troubling thoughts strike fear in their heart.  Long seasons of struggle bring with them weariness and discouragement.  I cry out to You on their behalf, Lord.  You are able.  We ask for miracles.  Nothing is too difficult for You.  We ask that You take what the enemy intended for evil
