PRIORITY: ATTITUDE OF THE HEART
(Revised 2.8.2019, 11.23.2018)

There is a very important & serious reason I find in commands (instructions & counsels) of God (both in life & in the Bible). I am amazed & surprised to find such, even in “Love the Lord my God with all my heart, all my mind, all my soul & all my strength.”

THE HEART IS MOST DECEITFUL.
We cannot know how deceitful the scripture says. We often don’t even know what’s in our own heart. But our heart can be pure & strengthen in Christ. One time, I lost strength even in my heart but the Lord strengthened my heart while I waited for Him. I searched the scripture afterward & sure enough I found the verse.

THE MIND IS BATTLE FIELD.
It belongs to the devil so much so of many, we are instructed by the scripture to take every thought captive. It defeats us unaware, our desires coming from our sinful nature combined with ”all” that passed down to us from our parents & many previous generations, that have footing & grounds in us, “all” the familiar, unclean & evil spirits associated & their networks.  It is in our mind & mental self/life that the battle fields of the spirits exist; we’re involved in the struggles, or over-powered, or else ”victory in Christ” where exist only the goodness of God & influence of the Holy Spirit.

SOUL, OUR ETERNAL PERSON
I am convinced, she is wiser in the invisible than I though my head is wiser in this visible world;  I had to keep coming from the truth of God that the invisible gives the visible instead of starting from my perspectives from this world. While God speaks to my soul, I really ought to listen & hear her, my soft inner person carefully & seriously bringing any issues rising out of me before God & under the authority of the Lord.

WITH ALL MY STRENGTH
It’s more so my inner strength & particularly the strength in my heart as long as I have it. I have always been able to command my inner person to be strong in the Lord & strengthen my feeble mind & body in the Lord.

I once mustered all my strength pulling my inner self together as I asked myself to “love the LORD my God...“ pulling against every part of me spoiling to flee away at the presence of occults, even from myself. Love is as strong as death.

Mine! To my surprise, I found myself ended up so firmly positioned in the presence of my loving God, so merciful & strong. I can’t believe “how I was held in by such firm yet unrestricting grip of purity, security & goodness.”; a dim light disperse, lightly growing,  faintly but steadily, I remember thinking what could this possibly be??? The Lord gives strength to the weak & might (power) to the faint that is if we belong to Christ & submit to the lordship of Christ Jesus.

Amazing love! Worth every effort.. over fears, grieves (both from losses & trauma), disappointments, rejections even appearing to be from God (trials no doubt, spirits oppression perhaps, trials & troubles meet, definitively). Being targeted by the spiritual enemy is something out of this world, if you’d asked me. God, even the devils believe & tremble; His judgement is severe & His kindness, merciful. The same LORD who command us to love Him also ask us to let our fear & dread be Him.

There is always an important & serious reason, spiritually if not also physically, in all God’s instructions & advice because there is tragic consequences here & now in the temporal if not also destruction later in the eternal. On the flip side, the rewards from God for the intent of the heart us good & great, such as are faithful & sincere obedience to God’s will & words that He may work His purpose in us!!

CLING ON TO GOD!
Everyone else is a part of our life but God is central. God is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him & He give Christ to reconcile men & women to Him for the eternity. Death is going to be the last enemy to be conquered.

PS My apology for not providing the scripture’s books & numbers in this writing but I hope you search out one / all for you to keep in prayer devotion that it will shed the light of Christ on your heart & the love of God (abroad / abundance in the heart by the Holy Spirit) that you always be in the love of Christ & in the will of God.

Praise for the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit! Amen.
