What's in Your Heart?

A throne or an arrow?


Psalm 45:5-6
5 Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
6 Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

So often we hear about the full armor of God but we forget how significantly important it is. God just doesn't want us to stand protected He wants us to fight. Fight for justice and honor. Fight for the real truth that the world often forgets. It is important for us to stand firm and tell the truth. The truth is our biggest weapon against the prince of lies Satan himself. It rescues the prisoners and sets them free it unshackles them from the things Satan has convinced them to believe. We are not fighting against people we are fighting against Satan. We don't want to lose people we want to capture their hearts for Christ and hold them safely and retrain them to become faithful to the King of kings.

God wants us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. That is the just thing to do. If God is truly on the throne of our hearts that is what we will learn to do. However, that doesn't mean that we keep our enemies in darkness. That doesn't me we don't walk and talk in truth with them. Even people who are not believers of Christ need to hear the truth of God's word.

Today I was talking on the phone with a girl who my brother was ministering to. She was explaining how she's been in abusive relationship after abusive relationship and is tired of the jerks. She said and the sad part was the nice guys like the bad girls. I told her to keep holding onto the promises of God... but I told her... without mentioning God at first. I said realize who you are and realize you deserve the best. We need to realize who we are in Christ (we are a new creation purified through His blood) we need to realize we never have to settler (I shall not want). Everyone of us needs to realize God's plans for us are for our best (Jeremiah 29:11). We need to stay in the truth in all times!


Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
