Guard Your Heart
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
Keep
thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Prov. 4:23)
Proverbs 4:21 says,
"Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine
heart." You are to keep God's Word in your heart.
Then Proverbs 4:23
tells you to keep or guard your heart. How do you do that? By keeping
the Word in your heart! How are you going to keep God's Word in your
heart?
By meditating on
God's Word continually. In other words, think deeply about it until it
becomes a part of your inner conscience.
Don't just memorize
scriptures and forget them.
You can memorize
scriptures and say them by rote, and they won't mean a thing in the
world to you. Those verses are just in your mind. But, no, think on them
until they get down into your heart. Feed on them. It will take a little
time to do that. But, eventually, the scriptures will register on your
heart.
God's words are life
unto you and health, or medicine, to all your flesh. I don't know about
you, but I never see myself sick. I always see myself well. If a need
arises - whether it's healing or anything else - the first thing that
pops into my mind is what the Bible says about it.
Many people start to
panic if something comes along, saying, "Oh, dear Lord, what are we
going to do now? What in the world are we going to do now?" They are not
guarding their hearts when they do that.
I tell people all
the time, "Know your Bible. If you can't find it in the Bible, don't
accept it. Don't let it get into your heart. I don't want your faith to
be in what I or another preacher says. I want your faith to be in what
God's Word says. The Word does not fail."
Confession
Father, I will attend to Your Word. I will
put Your Word first. I will incline my ear unto Your sayings. I will not
let those words depart from before my eyes. I will keep them in the
midst of my heart. I will walk in health and healing. I will walk in the
life of God.
