Protect your heart

God will restore the years that the locusts have destroyed.  But when God restores,it wont be what it was before, it'll be a hundred fold better.

Proverbs 27:17
1 Sam 16:(1-6)7
**Proverbs 4:23**

Your heart is what determines the path you'll end up going on. If you're full of resentment and hateful, you get thrown off the course God has put you on.
Our heart is the seat of our conscience, that's why you need to keep it pure and clear and focused wholly on God.

1)Guard your mind as it can become a battlefield as it can rehash the bad thoughts and events in your life. Making you doubt not only yourself, but God's Word as well.
Change your thinking because that affects your heart Prov 23:7.
Believe what God says about you,that you are highly favoured & valued,you are a queen in His eyes: not what the world says about you

2)Guard your eyes Matt 6:22,23. Close your eyes to the enticements the world tries to seduce you with,because the things you may see can fill with the wrong spirit and can darken your heart.

3) Guard your ears Rom 10:17

4) Guard your mouth Prov 16:23. Let our words inspire and encourage be kind and loving Psalm 10:11.

Psalm 19:14

Nature the protection of a good heart by studying the Word of God,fellowship, meditating on God. Rest your heart in the knowledge that God is at the wheel. Don't be fearful nor anxious about worldly matters. Surrender your heart to God Psalm 51:10-12

The Grace of Victory over sin

John 8:1-11
Lev 20:10
Deut 22:22

The Bible says both adulterers shall be put to death, but in John -even though caught in the act- they only brought the woman to be put to death so she had been cheated already

James 2:10
We need to look onto our lives because when we accuse others, we have to back off because we too have sinned in some way. Don't be a harsh judgemental Christian who's quick to condemn others.

Exo 32:30
1 Cor 6:18
1 John 5:17

Every sin is sin,but there are degrees of sin that make some great in a destructive manner,abominations - which lead to death,against the body,and lesser sins. Know the difference as the devil will play on that saying but sin is sin. But there are degrees because the consequences of some may be very diar.

However no-one has the right to condemn another, only Christ the Lord.
Rom 8:34
So we must put ourselves in others shoes. We should not hold our noses up and condemn someone for being an alcoholic,homeless, drug addict, prostitutes. You cannot give up on them when they stumble back into a sinful pattern again.
Rom 8:1 (nkjv)(nasb)

God does not condone sin, but He came to save us from sin,not condemn us
John 3:17
Ephe 2:8,9
Gal 5:1
John 5:14

Sin leads to an instant breakdown in relationship with God. Sin can lead to misery through loss of integrity and guilt.
";go and sin no more" is not kindly advice from Christ to the woman of to us,it's power! Power over sin was given to that woman and thus to us as well

The Promiser who is able to keep his promise

Heb 6:12-20

We need to have faith,but mostly patience in God who will fulfill His promise eg.Abraham waited and waited and waited,but the promise made to Him by God did come to pass.Even though he was in his 70s it did come to pass

Gen 12:1-3
Therefore we must be like those described in Heb 6:12,15,18,19.
We need to trust in the Lord even when the promise/blessing isn't fulfilled right now when you want it to be. Wait on the Lord,do not lose your focus on God, like Abraham was by Sarah, get swayed by others interpretation of the promise God made to you...But God cannot bless a product of flesh,one that He had not created for you.

Be patient like the blind man who waited by the pool for 38years. Some promises are fulfilled instantly,others you can wait 12,25,38 years and more. But wait patiently on the Lord,for He will keep His promises to you. They will come to pass.

1 Tim 4:10
Rom 8:24,25
Acts 27:29
Heb 6:11,14

Mission

Neh 2:20

Yoi cannot give what you don't have,you can't transfer to the people what's not in your heart.

If you sing you have to sing with passion and conviction for your message to transmit through you into those listening. So if you're a Christian yoi must be full of love and kindness and forgiveness for others to see that light in you and thus drawing them to Christ. Love is the only way to destroy the kingdom of the devil.Being steadfast in God will give you that resolve

Jesus The Light of The World

John 9:39-41
John 8:
