UNDERSTANDING THE SPIRITUAL HEART BY COMPARING IT WITH THE HUMAN HEART







Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! I would like to teach about the "Human Heart." " How you can understand the spiritual Heart by comparing it with the Human Heart."  The Bible says, "Guard against your heart, for inside it are the issues of life.( Proverbs 4vs 23) 
 
1. The human heart is located in the centre of the breast. This shows us that the spiritual Heart is located in the centre of a person's thoughts, words, actions and ministry. A person's heart is the very foundation of his ministry. That is why the  heart is so important. Everything that a person achieves  depends on his heart. Everything you become depends on your heart. 
 
 2. The human heart is about as big as your clenched fist. In other words , your heart is as big as your hand. What does this mean? It shows that the works of your hands  will only be as big as your heart.

3. The human heart contains  blood, which contains all nutrients. These nutrients come from what you have eaten. This shows us that your heart is affected by what you take in. THE CONTENTS OF YOUR SPIRITUL HEART ARE MADE UP OF WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD AND RECEIVED. MANY THINGS ENTER YOUR HEART  AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN IN YOUR MIND FOR A WHILE. 
 
 You must allow good things to come into your heart. You must also prevent evil things from coming into your heart. ( Mathew 12:34-37, Colossians 3:16-17)
 4.The human heart works by receiving  and then giving blood.
 
 This fact demonstrates how a person's life is affected by the heart. It is the blood that is received into the heart that is pumped out. A person receives  blood into his heart and pumps out fresh life- giving blood to the rest of the body.
 This means that what you allow to come into your heart is what you eventually give out. 
 
 5. THE HUMAN HEART PUMPS BLOOD TO THE FURTHERMOST AND DISTANT PARTS OF THE BODY. This demonstrates how the spiritual Heart affects the furthermost and minutest aspects of your life. Every little aspect of your life is somehow affected by what is in your heart. This is why the heart is so important, because it affects everything about you.  
 
6 THE HUMAN HEART GIVES LIFE TO THE WHOLE BODY BY PUMPING OXYGENATED BLOOD TO ALL PARTS OF THE BODY. This shows us that the heart of a person is what releases life, joy and peace. The life-  giving part of your ministry is your heart. ( Leviticus 17:11).  Life is in the blood.
 
7.WHEN THE CONTENT OF THE HUMAN HEART IS CONTAMINATED, THE CONTAMINATION IS PUMPED OUT TO AFFECT THE ENTIRE BODY. Likewise,  when the spiritual Heart is polluted with any form  of evil , this defilement  is pumped to the rest of the body.
 
Bitterness is a good example of something evil that can enter the human heart . It is easy to see a person whose heart is filled with bitterness and unforgiveness. His or Her heart pumps out that bitterness into the rest of his or her ministry and this is evident to the discerning eye. When he or she speaks, you sense the bitterness. When he or she preaches it just comes out. Be careful of what you allow to enter your heart. ( Ephesians 4:26-32, Jeremiah 17:8-10).
 "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks". ( Matthew 12vs34-37)
 

8. THE HUMAN HEART GETS SICK  WHEN IT HAS HIGH FAT DIET. This shows that the heart of a pastor or preacher gets sick when he receives too many massages on riches.  The Body of Christ has developed heart problems through the abundance of prosperity teachings.
 
   9. THE HUMAN HEART IS MORE PRONE TO DISEASE IN A BODY THAT GETS LITTLE EXERCISE. This truth shows us how the spiritual heart gets sick when it receives a lot of good feeding of the Word, but has not put it into practice.  Likewise,  the spiritual heart is more prone to diseases in a person with little chance to practise what he knows. The lack of missionary work, a lack of evangelism and a lack of outreach, have caused heart problems in the body of Christ. ( Joshua 1:8, Matthew 7: 24-27, Matthew 28vs19-20).

10. THE HUMAN HEART IS MORE PRONE TO DISEASE IN A BODY THAT TAKES IN ALCOHOL AND OTHER  DANGEROUS DRUGS.  Likewise, the spiritual heart  is affected by intoxicants like the pleasures of this world which multiply deceptions and delusions in our lives. These are very dangerous and bad to the body of Christ.  ( 2 Corinthians 6:16-17,  1 Corinthians 6:16-19).

 So let us guard against our hearts  and not defile ourselves with immoral activities and  dangerous drugs. ( Galatians 5: 16-23)

As I conclude on this subject of the "Human Heart, I want also to share on " Why the Shepherd's Heart Is Important." The Bible says, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for OUT OF IT ARE THE ISSUES OF LIFE." ( Proverbs 4: 23 KJV).

1.The pastor or shepherd's heart is important because of the strong admonition to guard it. Anything that is heavily guarded is important. The extent of security around a building reveals how sensitive and important it is.

 The strong admonition in the Bible to protect the heart reveals how important it is. " Above all else, GUARD YOUR AFFECTIONS . For they influence everything else in your life." ( Proverbs 4:23 TLB).

 2. The pastor's heart is important because it is the source of all that he ministers.
 3. The pastor's heart is important because it is the source of all issues and problems. Most of the problems that we have emanate from the heart.

This is why problems must be solved at the heart level. Often, problems are solved superficially without  dealing with the heart. That is why the problems continue endlessly.
 KEEP THY HEART  WITH ALL DILIGENCE; FOR OUT OF IT ARE THE ISSUES OF LIFE. ( PROVERBS 4:23).             

4. The pastor 's heart is important because it influences everything in his life. Above all else , guard your affections. FOR THEY INFLUENCE EVERYTHING ELSE IN YOIR LIFE. Proverbs 4:23 ( TLB).                              
 5. Pastor's heart is important because that is where  life begins. If your ministry is full of life it is because your heart is full of life. " KEEP VIGILANT WATCH OVER YOUR HEART ; THAT IS WHERE LIFE STARTS." PROV. 4:23 MESSAGE BIBLE).
For out of it are the issues of life! Anything that is heavily guarded is important!

I end here on the subject of the Human heart. Your heart needs spiritual circumcision. " For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his son." ( Romans 8vs29) This is where the spiritual principle of circumcision comes in. Circumcision is the cutting away of the flesh. ( Genesis 17:11-14)  Romans 2v28-29 and Colossians 2vs2-14, are scriptures which speak about "spiritual circumcision". God was always after a circumcised heart in the Old Testament law. In the new covenant we now talk of spiritual circumcision of the inner spirit man. Let us seek deliverance for our heart's spiritual circumcision, in the name of Jesus.

May God richly bless you!
