Enemies of the Heart | Week 2 | How to Win Within
The question is: How is your heart?
23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.
Proverbs 4:23 (AMP)
23 Above every charge keep thy heart, For out of it [are] the outgoings of life.
Proverbs 4:23 (YLT)
Deluded Heart
17 “Judah’s sin is engraved with an iron tool, inscribed with a flint point, on the tablets of their hearts and on the horns of their altars. 2 Even their children remember their altars and Asherah poles beside the spreading trees and on the high hills.
5 This is what the Lord says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? 10 “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”
14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.
Jeremiah 17:1-2, 5, 9-10,14 (NIV)

14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.
Jeremiah 17:14 (NIV)
32 He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him. 33 “Throw her down!” Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot.
2 Kings 9:32-33 (NIV)
Renewed Heart
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. 28 Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.
Ezekiel 36:26-28 NKJV

The Crossing Church
You have crossed the rapids of a turbulent river in these past months. As you moved forward the waters have grown more smooth. Till a little ripple here and there but more smooth. It's a time to take stock of supplies and put your resources in order. I had a picture of a river barge loaded down with food, equipment, medical supplies, and water. The barge was making stops along the river to give resources to people and to take on new supplies and new passengers. You are becoming a shipping and supplies resource church. I sense of Lords pleasure as you cast your bread upon the waters. And I see delight on your faces as God gives back more than you gave away. I saw Luke 6:38 painted on the side of your boat in big bold letters, “Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” The rapids, I believe, represents resistance to the vision of this house. The river represents forward movement. Luke 6:38 gives direction, focus and fuel for becoming a resource church to other churches, tribes, tongues, and people in nations. No matter what resistance you face keep moving forward. Avoid political conflict with other churches, just don't get sucked into it. Refuse to be divided by doctrines of demons, just call them what they are and say get out of here. Just be who you are. Just give what you've been given. Just keep going where God sends you and saying what He tells you. It's your time to show and tell the gospel of the Kingdom to all who will hear and see. I heard a verse that the whole church, old and young had adopted to memory, being sung in your songs, and impressed on your kids. From the message translation, Proverbs 11:24 “The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.” Enlargement is coming in this new season, make sure that you're facing it with generosity of heart and culture.
I am going to pray for you. Father, I just thank you for this wonderful church. Lord, I thank you for their responsiveness. I thank you God for their wild goose attitude of just wanting to get out there and let the winds take them where they need to go, whatever resistance comes they're going to move forward. And I pray God that as they as they get through the last little bit of these rapids, that there will be a smoothness in their journey. You'll start letting them see where to pull in and dock and where to help this one and that one, and this church and this people group, and this situation, and this conflict. And that Lord, no matter how much they give and give and give you'll just keep bringing more and more and more so they can give and give and give and you can bring more and more and more that's how it works. Father let them be like Proverbs 11:2, let their world get larger and larger because of their generosity. and they'll realize that the world is stingy only gets smaller and smaller and they're not going to be about stingy, they're going to be about being generous. Bless this church in your name in, Jesus name Amen

Blessed Heart
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Ephesians 4:4-6
Heaven’s Declaration
13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard,
down on the collar of his robe.
3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
Psalm 133:1-3 NIV
Words of Knowledge
We believe the Lord is healing acid reflux.
We believe the Lord is healing someone dealing with severe side effects from menopause.
We believe the Lord is healing someone of a stiffness in the neck from a car accident injury.
We believe the Lord wants to heal a young woman: healing/restoration in the right ovary.
We believe the Lord is healing skin diseases.
We believe the Lord is healing lymph nodes.
We believe the Lord wants to set you free of bitterness. You’re holding on to bitterness over something that someone did to hurt you. Walls have been constructed to protect your heart. It’s time to let the Lord tear down the walls. Let Him in so He can heal your heart. He will never hurt you. He loves you more than you can imagine.
We believe the Lord is restoring lost relationships and heritage of family faith in God, to be the foundation of our sons’ and daughters' future.
We believe there is someone with a weight or heaviness over the left shoulder that may even be accompanied by pain. This is a spiritual attack. The Lord wants to set you free.
We believe God is bringing quick, instant (like a light switch) clarity to situations that have been confusing. We heard “clear, clear.”
We believe the Lord is saying, “refreshing” and the vision that came was when we were children and it started to rain, better yet pour, we ran outside and lay on the floor with open arms and got soaked. Someone needs to remember to empty themselves of any fear, anxiety, or worriedness and be “refreshed” by the pouring of His Spirit on us.
We believe the Lord wants to heal marriages. We saw an image of a man and woman (husband and wife). They were drifting apart because of the responsibilities of this world. They looked back at each other and they caught a glimpse of each other’s eyes, as if they saw each other’s souls. Then the Lord came down and held both their hands to fill the gap. As they walked together for a little while, the man and woman (while holding on to God’s hand) grabbed each other's hand and the three of them were crying in joy together.
Words of Encouragement:
We are a blessed people. The blessing of God comes when we surrender our lives and truly believe that there is something that God has put into each and every one of us. Rise up those that are seeking Him and soak up His blessing on your lives, and be obedient to heed the wisdom and knowledge that He gives you.
