Your Future Is In Your Heart
Posted by Pastor GerardJan 20
JESUS said, “…For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure [deposit] of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure [deposit] brings forth evil things.” What JESUS was saying is that the substance of our inner reality [heart] will over the course of time begin to spill over and come out of our mouths as words. Those words spoken today create our future tomorrow; so that whatever we allow our inner reality to become will eventually grow to be our destiny. Think about that. You and I determine the quality of our life each time we decide what we allow to be deposited into our hearts.
Is your life upside down right now? Stop thinking about it. That’s right, stop! One may respond, “But this mess I’m in is all I can think about…” Not true. It’s just that you have been depositing so much of [your mess] in your heart, [through your thoughts and words] that you are now being flooded with the very thing which you hate. Why are we surprised when the thing we think about all day comes to our door? What we dislike intensely will come upon us! It’s a spiritual law. When a human being hates, we make a vivid picture in the subconscious mind which then develops into our present reality.
Why does money not show up at our door daily? Because we never think about money arriving, we see it leaving. Rather than “Money Cometh,” most people’s reality is that, “Money Goeth!” We think about bills arriving. So of course, we are greeted with more bills so that we can see our money leave. Mission accomplished! But we hate that mission, ahh, read on.
We’ve got to change the picture, right? Well, not so fast. Actually, the picture will change on it’s own. It has to in response to how your present picture was created. Because your present subconscious picture is the byproduct of your response to, your mess, right? So as long as you keep pushing back and resenting your miserable state, the picture becomes even more vivid. Remember Led Zeppelin? If your song remains the same, so will your picture. So here’s you’re exit strategy from hell, dear one…
CHANGE YOUR SONG! “Bless the Lord Oh my soul and all that is within me, Bless His Holy Name.” Start saying it now, don’t wait. Declare it in the midst of crisis and calamity. It drives the forces of darkness crazy. When you change your song (confession), the picture changes. It is never the other way around.
The spiritual law at work in our God-breathed universe is this: Humans speak their world into existence. So rather than bemoan your present state over and over, begin to rejoice in the midst of your circumstances; begin to “pre-play” your future with your words. Thank God for this opportunity to once again prove His Word and His faithfulness in your life. He has never left you, and He is not going to start now!
Sure, at first it sounds strange to say things like, “It feels so good that all our debt is canceled and wiped away…” But don’t worry, the more you say it, the more you believe it and the more the picture changes. The Lord will then begin to work for you and through you in natural and supernatural ways. Ideas, opportunities and miracles will begin to flow as your life begins to conform to the new debt free picture. You WILL be free!
Want out of the hole today? Drop the shovel of complaining, hatred and anger and begin fashioning your ladder of escape by speaking the Word of God with faith and purpose. Watch how quickly your new future is birthed. And moving forward, “Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.”
