  Speaker 1: What is the most valuable thing you own. No, it's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: not your house, it's not your car, it's not even
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: your bank account. It's your heart. But here's the real question,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: are you protecting it? We live in a world obsessed
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: with security. We put locks on our doors, passwords on
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: our phones, and surveillance cameras on every corner. If you
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: want access to a government building, you need clearance. If
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you want to enter the White House, you'll be screened, questioned,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and checked at every level because not everyone should have access. Now,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: imagine if your heart had the same level of security.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Imagine if every thought, every influence, every relationship had to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: go through a clearance check before entering. Would the things
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you watch make it past security? Would the conversations you
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: engage in be allowed through the gates? Would the influences
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you let shape your life be cleared for access? Or
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: have you left the door wide open? Anything and everything
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: enter without even questioning it. Because, whether you realize it
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: or not, your heart is under attack. Proverbs four twenty
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: three says, above all else, guard your heart, for everything
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you do flows from it. Everything your words, your decisions,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: your desires, your thoughts. Everything begins in the heart and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: yet most of us don't guard it. We let anything in.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: We scroll through content that poisons our minds, We engage
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in conversations that pollute our spirits. We allow emotions like bitterness, lust, fear,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and anger to settle in without ever asking how they
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: got access. If you knew that a hacker was trying
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to steal your personal information, you change your passwords, lock
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: everything down, and strengthen your security. So why don't we
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: do the same for our hearts? Why do we let negativity, sin,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and distraction have twenty four seven access to the most
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: valuable part of us? Because the truth is, most of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: us have no idea how vulnerable we really are. We
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: don't realize that our security clearance is dangerously low. We
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: don't see that Satan isn't just attacking random areas of
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: our lives. He's going straight for the heart. And if
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: he can plant seeds of doubt, impurity, pride, or deception
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in your heart, he doesn't need to destroy you. He'll
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: let you destroy yourself. That's why in this video, we're
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: going to expose the weaknesses in your heart's security system.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: We're going to uncover the hidden access points that the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: enemy has been using to slip past your defenses. We
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: are going to help you raise your spiritual clearance to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the highest level by the end of this video. Our
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: hope and prayer is that you will see the urgency
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of guarding your heart like your life depends on it,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: because spiritually it does. We have created in depth explanation
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: videos on every book of the Bible to help you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: go deeper in your faith and walk with God. Each
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Deep Bible Stories video is designed to break down scripture
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in a way that is simple, clear, and deeply impactful.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It is our hope and prayer that this video and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: every message we share will awaken something in your spirit.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: We've also turned some of our most powerful teachings into
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: ebooks so you can study at your own pace and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: take your understanding even deeper. Check the description to grab yours.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So let's start with a question, what are you doing
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: daily to guard your heart? Drop your answers in the comments,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and if you hear something in this video that challenges you,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: let us know, because today we are locking down the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: gates and it's time to protect what matters most. If
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: your heart is the most valuable thing you own, then
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it should be no surprise that it is also the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: most targeted. Think about it. Satan doesn't waste time attacking
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: what doesn't matter. He isn't interested in minor distractions or
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: insignificant things. He goes straight for what God values most,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and according to the Bible, that's your heart above all else.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Guard your heart for everything you do flows from it
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Proverbs for twenty three. Not some things, not most things. Everything.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Your heart is the control center of your life. Everything
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you think, everything you feel, everything you desire, it all
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: comes from your heart. And that's why Satan wants it,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: because if he can control your heart, he can control
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: everything about you. Look around at the world to day.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Why is there such a battle for your attention? Why
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: do companies spend billions on ads designed to influence your emotions?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Why is social media filled with carefully crafted content meant
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to shape the way you think, what you desire, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: how you live. Because your heart is the most valuable
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: real estate on earth, and whoever controls your heart controls you.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: This is why temptation is never just about the surface
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: level sin. Lust isn't just about desire, It's about getting
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: access to your heart. Bitterness isn't just about an offense.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It's about corrupting your heart. Fear isn't just about making
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you anxious, It's about keeping your heart bound so you
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: can't trust God. Satan knows that if he can plant
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a seed in your heart, it will grow, and most
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: people don't even realize it's happening because spiritual attacks don't
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: always come with flashing lights and warning signs. Sometimes they
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: come through the things we love. A show that makes
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: impurity seem normal, a song that plants seeds of anger
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: or rebellion, a friendship that slowly pulls you away from God.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And the scariest part, most of us invite the enemy
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: in without even questioning it. We leave our hearts wide open,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: allowing anything and everything to come in without clearance, without vetting,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: without discernment. But Jesus warned us about this. The good person,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: out of the good treasure of his heart, produces good,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and the evil person, out of his evil treasure, produces evil.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: speaks Luke six forty five. Whatever is in your heart
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: will eventually come out of your life. You don't have
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to announce what's inside you. It will reveal itself. If
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: your heart is filled with peace. Your words will reflect it.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: If your heart is filled with lust, your actions will
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: reveal it. If your heart is filled with pride, your
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: decisions will expose it. That's why Satan doesn't have to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: force you to sin. All he has to do is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: fill your heart with the wrong things. Once your heart
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: is compromised, your actions will naturally follow. That's what happened
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to Eve in the garden. Satan didn't physically take the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: fruit and shove it in her mouth. He targeted her
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: heart first. He whispered, doubt, Did God really say he
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: planted desire? You will be like God? He stirred up discontentment,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: You are missing out, And once her heart was deceived,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: her actions followed. The same thing happened to David. David
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: was a man after God's own heart, but he didn't
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: guard it when he saw Bathsheba, he didn't set up
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a boundary, and when temptation whispered, he didn't shut it down.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: He let desire enter his heart, and that one moment
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and led to adultery, murder, and destruction. Because the enemy
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: always attacks the heart first. If he can get access
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to your heart, he doesn't have to force you into sin.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: You will walk into it yourself, and in today's world,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the battle is more intense than ever. Look at how
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: distractions are designed to keep you from guarding your heart.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Everywhere you turn, something is pulling for your emotions. Social
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: media is engineered to keep you addicted. Entertainment is crafted
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to shape your beliefs. News headlines are written to fill
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: your heart with fear, and the more you consume, the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: less you even realize it's changing you. One day you're
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: just scrolling. The next day your thoughts have shifted. A
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: week later, your desires have changed. A month later, your
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: relationship with God feels distant, and you wonder what happened.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Your heart was left unguarded, and slowly the wrong things
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: slipped in. But here's the good news. You can take
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: back control because the same way the enemy gains access
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to your heart is the same way you can shut
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: him out. You just have to pay attention. What are
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you watching, what are you listening to? What are you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: dwelling on? Because what you allow into your heart today
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: will shape who you become tomorrow. This is why Proverb says,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: as a man thinks in his heart, so is he
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Proverbs twenty three seven. Your heart determines the course of
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: your life, and if you don't guard it, the enemy
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: will gladly take it. So I want you to ask
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: yourself who has access to your heart right now? Is
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: it God? Or have you unknowingly left the gates open
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to something else? Because your heart is not just some
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: abstract spiritual concept. It is your life, and the battle
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: for your future starts with what you allow inside to day.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Your heart is the most targeted part of you, and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the scariest part. Most people don't even realize when their
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: hearts have been compromised. It never happens all at once.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: It happens slowly, subtly, quietly, a small compromise here, a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: little bitterness there, a distraction that seems harmless until one
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: day you wake up and realize you don't recognize yourself
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: any more. How did it happen? How did you go
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: from being passionate about God to feeling distant? How did
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: your convictions weaken without you noticing? How did your desires
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: change without you even trying? The answer is in your heart,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Because Proverbs tells us clearly your heart determines your future
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: above all else God your heart, for everything you do
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: flows from it. Proverbs four twenty three. That means your actions,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: your choices, your emotions, your relationships. They don't just happen randomly.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: They start in the heart. If your heart is pure,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: your life will reflect it. If your heart is polluted,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: your life will expose it. If your heart is surrendered
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to God, your path will be straight. If your heart
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: is ruled by fear, lust or pride, your life will
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: show the consequences. This is why the enemy doesn't have
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to attack your circumstances. He just has to corrupt your heart,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: because once your heart is compromised, everything else follows. Look
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: at what Proverbs twenty seven nineteen says. As water reflects
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the face, so one's life reflects the heart. What does
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: that mean. It means your life is simply a reflection
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of what's happening inside you. You don't have to tell
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: people what's in your heart. Your actions will reveal it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That's why Jesus said, out of the abundance of the heart,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the mouth speaks Luke six forty five. Your words are
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a reflection of your heart. Your habits are a reflection
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: of your heart. Choices are a reflection of your heart.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And the scary part, you can't fake it. Forever. Eventually
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the real condition of your heart will come out. That's
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: why Proverbs warns us so many times about guarding our hearts,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: because if your heart isn't right, nothing else will be,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and ignoring this warning has serious consequences. Think about Samson.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: God gave him supernatural strength, he was chosen, anointed, powerful,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: but he didn't guard his heart. He entertained relationships that
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: weakened him. He let his emotions control him. He ignored
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the warning signs, and eventually he lost everything. Why because
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: his heart was unguarded. Or look at Solomon. He was
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the wisest man in history. God appeared to him personally.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: He wrote most of the proverbs we're reading right now,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and yet his downfall wasn't a military defeat or a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: political scandal. It was a heart issue. As Solomon grew old,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: heart was not fully devoted to the Lord, his God,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: First Kings eleven four. His heart drifted, his convictions weakened,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: He let the wrong influences in, and it changed the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: course of his life. Because when the heart shifts, everything shifts,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and the enemy knows it. That's why he doesn't mind
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: if you go to church as long as your heart
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: isn't fully in it. He doesn't care if you read
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: your Bible as long as your heart remains distracted. He
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't care if you pray as long as your heart
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: is full of doubt, because he knows that a divided
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: heart is just as dangerous as a sinful one. That's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: why Proverbs three five through six is so powerful. Trust
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: on your own understanding. In all your ways. Submit to him,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and he will make your paths state. If your heart
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: is truly surrendered to God, your life will move in
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the right direction. But if your heart is divided, confused,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: or unguarded, your future is at risk. And this is
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: exactly what we see today. People don't just wake up
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: one morning and decide to abandon their faith. Marriages don't
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: just crumble overnight. Pastors don't just fall into sin in
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: an instant. It starts in the heart, first a compromise,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: then a secret sin, then a divided mind, then spiritual blindness,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: until one day they wake up and wonder how did
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I get here? The answer they ignored the warnings. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: maybe you're at that point right now. Maybe you feel
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: like your passion for God isn't what it used to be.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe you've let certain compromises slip in. Maybe you've been
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: justifying things that you know aren't right, and now you
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: feel the distance growing. If that's you, this is your
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: warning sign that do not ignore it, because the condition
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: of your heart is shaping your future right now. But
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: here's the good news. No matter where your heart is
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to day, God can renew it. David understood this when
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: he prayed, create in me a clean heart, O God,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and renew a right spirit within me Psalm fifty one ten.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Your heart can be restored, your passion can be reignited,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: your future can be redeemed. But you have to take
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: this seriously because your heart isn't just some abstract spiritual idea.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: It is the foundation of your entire life. And if
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: you don't guard it, the enemy will take it. So
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: ask yourself, what's really in my heart? What have I
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: allowed to take root, What compromises have I ignored? What
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: distractions have been shaping my desires? Because whatever is in
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: your heart to day will determine who you become to morrow,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and your future depends on what you do next. If
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: your heart determines your future, then the most important question
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: is this, who or what has access to it? Because
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: your heart isn't just a fragile thing that needs protection.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: It's a fortress, a city, a kingdom, and just like
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: any kingdom, it has gates. And here's the thing about gates.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: They control what comes in and what goes out. They
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: either keep danger out or they let destruction walk right in.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: So let's get real for a second. If your heart
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: had a security checkpoint, if every influence, every word, every image,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and every sound had to go through a clearance process
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: before entering, what would make it through? Would the things
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you watch be allowed in? Would the music you listen
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to be given access? Would the people you surround yourself
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: with past the test? Or have your gates been left
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: wide open? Because the condition of your heart is directly
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: tied to what you let in through your eyes, ears,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and mind. The Bible warns us over and over again,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the eye is the lamp of the body. If your
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Matthew six twenty two. Faith comes by hearing and hearing
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: by the word of God. Romans ten seventeen. Do not
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: by the renewing of your mind Romans twelve two. What
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: you see, what you hear, and what you think about
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: these are the gates of your heart. And if you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: don't control what comes in, the enemy will because he
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: has always attacked through the gates. Let's go back to David.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: David was a man after God's own heart. He loved
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: God deeply. He wrote psalms that still shake the world
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to day. But one night he left his gates unguarded.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: One evening, David got up from his bed and walked
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: around on the roof of the palace. From the roof,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: he saw a woman bathing second Samuel eleven two. It
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: started with what he saw. The moment Bathsheba came into
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: his line of vision, David had a choice. He could
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: have turned away, He could have shut the gate. He
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: could have guarded his heart, but he didn't. Instead, he
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: let it in, and that one moment, one unguarded glance,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: led to a dultery, deception, and murder. David never planned
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: to destroy his life. It all started with what he
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: allowed through the gates. And He's not the only one.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And look at Solomon. He was the wisest man on earth,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: hand picked by God to lead Israel. He built the temple,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: he wrote the proverbs we're studying right now, and yet
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: he fell Why. King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: They turned his heart after other gods, and his heart
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: was not fully devoted to the Lord, his God. First
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Kings eleven one through four. Solomon didn't wake up one
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: morning and decide to turn away from God. It happened gradually.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: First he let ungodly influences into his life, Then he
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: let them into his mind, and slowly his heart followed.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Because what you let in will eventually shape who you become,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and the same is true for us to day. Most
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: people don't realize that the enemy has been slipping past
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: their gates for years. He's been planting ideas through the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: shows you watch. He's been shaping your desires through the
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: music you listen to. He's been distorting your beliefs through
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the conversations you entertain, and over time, your heart has
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: been shifting without you even realizing it. Think about it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: How many times have you just watching something because it's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: just entertainment. How many songs have you played on repeat,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: not realizing the words are shaping your emotions. How many
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: times have you been in conversations that felt toxic, but
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you stayed because it was just talk. And then one
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: day you notice your thoughts have changed, your desires have shifted,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and your convictions don't feel as strong as they used to.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Why because you didn't guard the gates. And here's where
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: it gets even deeper. Your heart doesn't just receive things,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: it also lets things out. Jesus said, a good man
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: brings good things out of the good stored up in
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: of the evil stored up in his heart. For the
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: mouth speaks what the heart is full of, Luke six
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: forty five. If anger is in your heart, it will
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: come out in your words. If bitter is in your heart,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: it will seep into your relationships. If impurity is in
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: your heart, it will show in your habits. Because your
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: gates don't just take things in, they also send things out.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And whatever has been stored in your heart will eventually
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: overflow into your life. So now the real question is
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: what are you allowing through your gates. Because the enemy
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: is patient, he doesn't mind if it takes months or
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: even years to weaken your defenses. He'll plant a thought today,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: knowing it will turn into a desire tomorrow. He'll introduce
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: an influence now, knowing it will shape your decisions. Later,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: he'll slip through the gates, quietly, waiting for the moment
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: you're too weak to resist, And one day you'll find
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: yourself struggling in ways you never expected well because you
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: didn't guard the gates. But here's the good news. You
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: can take back control because Jesus didn't just come to
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: forgive sins. He came to set captives free. That means
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you don't have to stay bound to what you let in.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: If your heart has been polluted, God can cleanse it.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: If your mind has been shaped by the wrong things,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: God can renew it. If your desires have shifted away
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: from him, God can restore them. But it starts with
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: closing the gates. It starts with taking responsibility for what
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: you allow into your heart. So ask yourself, what do
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I need to stop watching? What music do I need
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: to remove from my playlist? What relationships do I need
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to distance myself from? What thoughts do I need to
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: take captive before they take root? Because your heart is
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: too valuable to let just anything in, and the battle
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: for your future is being fought at the gates, So
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: guard them with everything you have. The gates of your
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: heart determine everything. What you let in will shape what
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: comes out. And if you aren't intentional about guarding those gates,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the enemy will gladly take advantage of your negligence. Because
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: once the enemy has your heart, he has your life.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: It doesn't happen over night. It's slow, subtle, almost unnoticeable.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: A thought turns into an interest, an interest turns into
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: a habit, a habit turns into a life style, and
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: before you know it, you're a completely different person than
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you ever intended to be. This is what happened to
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Judas Iscariot. Judas didn't start out as a traitor. He
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: was hand picked by Jesus. He walked with him, ate
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: with him, performed miracles in his name. He saw blind
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: eyes open, demon's flee, the dead raised to life, and
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: yet his heart was not protected. Scripture tells us that
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Judas had a weakness. He was greedy. He had access
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: to the disciple's money bag, and he had been stealing
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: from it for a long time John twelve six. At first,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it was probably just small things, a little coin here,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: another there. Maybe he justified it. I deserve this. No
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: one will notice. It's not a big deal. But compromise
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: is never just about the moment, the moment you stop
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: guarding your heart, you start opening doors you don't even
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: realize are dangerous. And then came the moment of no return.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Luke twenty two three says, then Satan entered Judas called
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: a scariot one of the twelve. How did it get
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: to this point? How did a man who once follow
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Jesus end up betraying him because his heart had been
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: unprotected for too long? Satan didn't just randomly choose Judas.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: He found an access point. Judas's unchecked greed gave the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: enemy the foothold he needed, And when the right moment came,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Satan walked right in. And this wasn't just a one
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: time event in history. This still happens to day, maybe
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: not in the same dramatic way, but the process is
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: exactly the same. It happens when bitterness is left unchecked.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Someone offends you. It stings, but you brush it off.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Then it happens again and again. Soon that small offense
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: becomes a deep wound. You stop trusting, you stop loving,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: You build walls around your heart, until one day you
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: no longer feel God's presence, not because he left you,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: but because you gave bitterness full access, and it slowly
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: choked out your ability to hear his voice. It happens
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: when lust isn't taken seriously. It starts with a second glance,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: then a few clicks on your phone, then a harmless
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: conversation with someone who isn't your spouse. But lust is
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: never satisfied, and what seems small to day will demand
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: more to morrow. And then one day you find yourself
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: in a place you swore you would never go, because
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the enemy always takes what you give him and then
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: demands more. This is exactly what proverb seven warns us about.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: It tells the story of a young man who failed
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: to guard his heart. At the window of my house,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I looked down through the lattice. I saw among the simple,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I noticed among the young men a youth who had
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: no sense Proverbs seven six through seven. Right away, the
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Bible describes him as someone who lacks wisdom, not because
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: he's evil, but because he doesn't know how to guard
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: his heart. Then something happens. He was going down the
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: street near her corner, walking along in the direction of
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: her house at twilight, as the day was fading, as
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the dark of night set. In Proverbs seven eight through nine,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Did he go there on purpose? Maybe? Did he think
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: anything bad would happen? Probably not. But his lack of
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: discern put him in a position where the enemy could strike.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: And then the woman appeared. She was dressed to entice him.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: She spoke words that made sin sound sweet. She told
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: him what he wanted to hear, and in a moment
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: of weakness, he let his guard down all at once.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: He followed her like an ox going to the slaughter,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: pierces his liver Proverbs seven twenty two to twenty three.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Did you catch that? He didn't realize he was walking
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: into destruction. He thought he was in control. He thought
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: it was just another night, just another conversation, just another decision.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: But what he didn't see was the trap that had
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: been set long before he ever arrived. Because the enemy
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: is always planning ahead. He doesn't just look at where
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: you are to day, He looks at where you're vulnerable,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: He studies you, He watches for weakness, and when the
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: opportunity comes, he strikes, not all at once, not in
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: an obvious way, but little by little, moment by moment,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: compromise by compromise, until one day you realize your heart
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: no longer belongs to God the way it once did.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: And that is exactly how spiritual destruction happens, not overnight,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: but through unchecked emotions, unfiltered content, and unhealthy relationships. Think
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: about the music you listen to. Are the lyrics shaping
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: your thoughts in a way that honors God? Or are
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: they feeding desires that shouldn't be there. Think about the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: people you surround yourself with. Are they pushing you closer
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: to Christ or pulling you further away? Think about the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: things you watch late at night when no one is looking.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Would you feel comfortable watching them if Jesus were sitting
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: next to you, Because whether you realize it or not,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: these things are shaping you. Your habits are either strengthening
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: your heart's defenses or weakening them. Your choices are either
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: guarding your heart or giving the enemy access. So now
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the real question is who has access to your heart?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Right now? Is it God, or have you unknowingly left
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the doors open to the enemy. Because one thing is certain.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: If you don't guard your heart, the enemy will claim it.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: But here's the good news. It's not too late to
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: take back what you've lost. You don't have to keep
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: walking down the wrong path. You don't have to let
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: pass mistakes define you. You don't have to stay trapped
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: in the enemy's lies. Because Jesus came not just to
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: forgive your sins, but to give you a new heart.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I will give you a new heart and put a
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: new spirit in you. I will remove from you your
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Ezekiel thirty six, twenty six. No matter how far are
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: you fallen, God can restore you. But you have to
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: take this seriously. You have to shut the gates. You
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: have to break the patterns. You have to protect the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: heart God has given you. Because once the enemy has
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: your heart, he has your life, and today is the
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: day to take it back. The enemy is always looking
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: for an open door. Always. He doesn't take days off,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: he doesn't get tired, he doesn't stop just because you
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: had a good week with God. And if your heart
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: is unguarded, he will walk right in. That's why we've
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: spent so much time talking about the dangers of an
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: unprotected heart, because if you don't take this seriously, you
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: will lose battles you were meant to win. But here's
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the good news. You don't have to be defenseless. That
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: God hasn't left you exposed. He hasn't called you to
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: guard your heart without giving you the tools to do it.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: But the real question is are you using them? Because
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: most people don't fail because they're weak. Most people fail
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: because they didn't build strong walls. They don't take the
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: time to set up spiritual boundaries, they don't train their
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: hearts to resist the wrong things, they don't surround themselves
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: with the right influences, and then when the attack comes,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: they're completely unprepared. So to day, it's time to stop
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: being reactive and start being proactive. It's time to strengthen
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the walls around your heart because the battle isn't coming,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: it's already here. One filter. What you consume your heart
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: is a reflection of what you feed it. What you watch,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: listen to, and engage in is shaping you. You might
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: think it's just a movie, it's just a song, It's
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: just entertainment. But let's be honest. If it doesn't affect you,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: why is it so hard to let go of the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: truth is your heart is always being influenced. Jesus said,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the eye is the lamp of the body. If your
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Matthew six twenty two. Your eyes are a gait, Your
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: ears are a gate. Your mind is a gaate, and
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: whatever enters those gates will either bring light or bring darkness.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Look at what Proverbs four twenty to twenty one says,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: my son, pay attention to what I say. Turn your
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: ear to my words. Do not let them out of
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: your sight, Keep them within your heart. Pay attention, turn
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: your ear, keep your eyes on the right things. Because
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: your heart is a reflection of what you feed it.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: So ask yourself, what have you been feeding your heart lately?
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: If your heart feels distant from God, if your desires
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: have shifted, if your thoughts are constantly filled with things
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: that don't honor Him, you don't need to pray for
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: more self control. You need to change your diet. You
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: wouldn't expect to be physically healthy if all you wait
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: was just food. So why do we expect to be
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: spiritually strong when all we consume is spiritual garbage. It's
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: time to filter what you allow in, not out of legalism,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: but out of wisdom. Not because you have to, but
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: because you want to protect what God has placed inside you.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Because whatever you feed will grow. So start feeding your
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: heart the right things. Two. Surround yourself with the right
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: people who has access to your heart. Your relationships are
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: shaping you. The people you spend time with are either
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: strengthening your faith or weakening it, encouraging purity or leading
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: you toward compromise, pushing you toward Jesus, or pulling you away.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: And here's the truth. You become like the people you
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: surround yourself with. That's why Proverbs thirteen twenty says walk
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: with the wise and become wise, For a companion of
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: fools suffers harm. Who you walk with determines where you
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: end up. If you walk with people who love God,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: you will grow. If you walk with people who are lukewarm,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: you will become comfortable with compromise. If you walk with
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: people who have no fear of God, you will lose
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: your own sensitivity to His voice. And here's where it
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: gets real. Some of you need to let go of
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: certain friendships, not because you don't love them, not because
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you think you're better than them, but because your heart
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: is too valuable to be influenced by people who don't
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: take God seriously. That doesn't mean you cut everyone off.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: It means you redefine who has access to your heart.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: You can love people without letting them shape you. So
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: take an honest look at your inner circle. Are they
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: pushing you toward Christ or making it harder for you
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: to follow him? Because the people in your life are
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: either protecting your heart or leaving it exposed. Three Constantly
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: renew your mind, and if you don't renew it, the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: world will shape it for you. Your mind is under
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: constant pressure to conform to the world's way of thinking.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Everywhere you turn, you are being told follow your heart,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: but the Bible says the heart is deceitful. Jeremiah seventeen nine.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Do what makes you happy. But Proverbs fourteen twelve says,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: there is a way that appears right, but in the
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: end it leads to death. Truth is whatever you feel
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: it is. But Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and the Life. John fourteen six. The world is constantly
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: feeding you a false gospel, and if you aren't actively
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: renewing your mind, you will absorb it without realizing it.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: That's why Romans twelve two is so powerful. Do not
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: by the renewing of your mind. If you don't renew
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: your mind, the world world will shape it for you.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: So how do you renew your mind? You fill it
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: with the Word of God, not just on Sundays, not
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: just when you feel like it every day, because the
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: truth is whatever you meditate on will shape your beliefs.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: So if you want a heart that is aligned with God,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: you have to train your mind to think like him.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Four daily prayer and scripture meditation. The strongest God over
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: your heart is God's presence. You can have all the
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: right habits, all the right boundaries, all the right disciplines,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: but if you aren't spending time in God's presence, you
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: are still vulnerable because at the end of the day,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: only God can truly guard your heart. David understood this
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: when he prayed, create in me a clean heart, O God,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: and renew a right spirit within me Psalm fifty one. Ten.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: You can't cleanse your own heart, You can't strengthen your
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: own defenses. You need God to do it, and that
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: happens in prayer and worship. When you pray, you invite
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: God to God what you cannot. When you worship, you
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: remind your heart of who is really in control. When
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: you meditate on scripture, you fill your mind with truth
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: that drowns out every lie. This is your strongest weapon,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: because the closer you are to God, the harder it
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: is for the enemy to get in. So don't just
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: build walls. Fill your heart with his presence, because the
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: best way to keep darkness out is to keep the
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: light burning strong. You can filter what you consume. You
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: can surround yourself with the right people. You can set
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: boundaries and renew your mind daily. But if you think
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: that means the enemy will give up your wrong because
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: the moment you start guarding your heart, he will try
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: harder to break through. He will test your walls, he
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: will look for weaknesses. He will wait for moments when
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: you're tired, distracted, or discouraged, because if he can't get
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: you to leave the gates open, he'll try to slip
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: through the cracks. And if you don't recognize the signs,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: he will get in before you even realize you were
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: under attack. That's why Ephesians six' eleven says that put
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: on the full armor Of god so that you can
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: take your stand against the devil's, schemes not his obvious,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: attacks his. Schemes because the enemy is a, deceiver he
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't always come as a roaring. Lion sometimes he comes
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: as a whispered a, thought a, doubt a, feeling and
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: before you know, it your heart has. Shifted so how
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: do you recognize when the enemy is trying to breach your?
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Heart let's talk about the warning signs one sudden, anxiety,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: fear or hopelessness when your peace is under. Attack one
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: of the first ways the enemy attacks your heart is
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: by still your. Peace everything seems, fine and then suddenly
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: you feel anxious for no. Reason fear grips you out of.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Nowhere hopelessness creeps, in making you doubt If god is
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: really with. You has this ever happened to? You maybe
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: you've had a strong week, Spiritually you've been, praying reading Your,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: bible feeling close To. God then out of, nowhere a
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: wave of anxiety hits. You feel, restless your mind is.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Racing you can't, focus and you don't even know. Why
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: that's not. Random the enemy knows that a heart full
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: of peace is a heart that is hard to. Shake
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: so if he can make you, anxious if he can
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: make you, afraid if he can make you question If
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: god is really in, control then he's already made his way.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Inside that's Why philippians four six to seven, says do
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: not be anxious about, anything but in every, situation by
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: prayer and, petition with, thanksgiving present your requests To. God
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and the peace Of, god which transcends all, understanding will
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: guard your hearts and your. Minds In, Christ, jesus did
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: you catch that peace guards your? Heart so if your
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: peace is suddenly, gone it's a sign that your heart
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: is under. Attack. TWO a loss of passion For god
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: when your fire starts to die another major red. Flag
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: you don't feel the same hunger For god that you used.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: To you used to wake up excited to spend time With.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Him you used to open Your bible with. Expectation you
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: used to worship with, passion but now you feel. Indifferent
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: you go through the, motions you pray because you know you,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: should but it feels. Empty it didn't happen all at.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Once it was. Gradual first you were too busy one,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: day then it was two, days then without even realizing,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: it a whole week past and you barely talk To.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: God and now your heart feels. Numb that's not just
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: you being, tired that's not just life getting. Busy that
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: is an. Attack because the enemy knows he doesn't have
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: to destroy. You he just has to distract. You if
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: he can't make you, sin he'll make you. Comfortable and
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: if he can't make you turn, away he'll make you
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: too lazy to Seek. God and the scariest, part and
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: if you don't recognize, it you will think it's. Normal
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: you'll convince YOURSELF i just don't feel like reading My
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: bible right. Now i'll get back to praying. Eventually i'm
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: just in a dry. Season but the truth is your
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: heart is being pulled. Away this is exactly what happened
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: to the church In. Ephesus jesus told, them YET i
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: hold this against. You you have forsaken the love you
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: had at First revelation two. Four they were still, serving
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: they were still showing, up they were still doing all
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: the right, things but their hearts had, drifted And jesus
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't impressed with their. Actions he wanted their. Hearts so
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: let me ask, you have you lost your first? Love
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: because if your passion For god has started to, fade
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: it's not just a, phase it's a warning sign, three
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: a slow drift toward compromise when your convictions start to.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Weaken have you ever noticed that sin doesn't usually start
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: with an. Explosion it starts with a. Whisper it starts
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: with it's not that. Bad Other christians do. This god
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: knows my, Heart and little by little you start making small.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Compromises you used to be careful about what you. Watched
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: now you let things. Slide you used to be careful
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: about the words you. Spoke now gossip doesn't seem like
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: a big. Deal you used to be careful about your.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Purity now you make, excuses and over time you don't
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: even notice how much you've. Changed because here's the. Truth
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: sin doesn't feel dangerous when you're getting used to. It
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: that's why the enemy never tempts you with something. Obvious at,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: first he just plants a little, Seed he just moves
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: the boundary, Slightly and then one day you wake up and,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: wonder how DID i get. Here this is exactly what
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: happened To. Lot when he first. Moved he set up
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: his tent Near Sodom genesis thirteen. Twelve then he started
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: living In Sodom genesis fourteen. Twelve then he became so
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: comfortable there that When god told him to, leave he
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Hesitated genesis nineteen. Sixteen he never planned on becoming attached
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: to that. City but compromise is never obvious at the.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Start that's Why proverbs four twenty six to twenty seven,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: says give careful thought to the paths for your, feet
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: and be steadfast in all your. Ways do not turn
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: to the right or the. Left keep your foot from,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: evil because once your heart starts, drifting it's hard to turn.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Back final, warning don't ignore the. Signs if you've noticed
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: any of these warning signs in your, life don't ignore.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Them the moment you recognize an, attack you need to fight.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Back if anxiety has been taking, over Speak god's peace
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: over your. Life if your passion For god has, faded
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: stir it up again through prayer and. Worship if you've made,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: compromises repent and shut the door before it leads to.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Destruction because the enemy only wins when we stop. Fighting
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: but as long as you still have, breath it's not
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: too late to take your heart. Back so stand, firm
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: put on the full armor Of, god and refuse to
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: let the enemy take what belongs To. God when the
• 44:57

• 45:01
  Speaker 1: peace weaken your, convictions and cloud your. Vision but what
• 45:05

• 45:18

• 45:40
  Speaker 1: now see it as a, distraction that innocent. Compromise you

  Speaker 1: recognize it as an open door for the. Enemy that
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: feeling of, anxiety you see it for what it, is
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: a spiritual, attack not just a bad. Day when your

• 50:37
  Speaker 1: see the? Rewards the reason most people never experience the

  Speaker 1: full rewards of guarding their heart is because they don't
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: commit to it long. Enough they guard their heart for a,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: week but then open the gates. Again they set boundaries
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: for a, season but then let the wrong things back.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: In they pursue purity for a, while but then slowly
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: return to old. Habits but if you truly commit to,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: this the results will change your. Life you will live
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: with peace instead of. Anxiety you will walk with wisdom
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: instead of. Confusion you will move in faith instead of.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Fear because when your heart is fully, Protected god's voice
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: becomes louder than every, distraction and suddenly you start seeing
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: the evidence Of proverbs four twenty three in your. Life
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: above all, else guard your, heart for everything you do
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: flows from. It so ask yourself what could change in
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: your life if you truly guarded your? Heart because the
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: rewards are already. Waiting but the question is will you
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: protect What god has placed inside. You you've seen the,
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: warnings you've heard the, truth you know what's at, stake
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: and now the question is, simple will you take this?
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Seriously because at the end of the, day no one
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: else can guard your your heart for, you not your
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: pastor not your, friends not Even, god Because he has
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: given you the responsibility to do. It above all, else
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: guard your, heart for everything you do flows from. It
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: proverbs for twenty. Three above all, else not as an,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: afterthought not when you feel like, it not just On,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: sundays but as the number one priority in your. Life
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: because if you don't guard your, heart everything else in
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: your life will be. Affected and that means you have
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: to start asking the hard. Questions what AM i allowing
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: into my heart that shouldn't be, There what thoughts HAVE
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: i been? Entertaining what relationships HAVE i been holding on?
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: To what habits HAVE i been? Justifying because the truth
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: is something always has access to your, heart and whether
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: you realize it or, not whatever you allow in will
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: shape your. Future maybe for some of, you it's time
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: to stop pretending that it doesn't. Matter it. Matters it
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: matters who you listen, to it matters what you, Watch
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: it matters what you allow to influence, you because the
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: small things you tolerate to day will control you to.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Morrow look At. Solomon he was the wisest man on.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Earth he had encounters With. God he wrote most Of,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: proverbs the book that tells us to guard our, hearts
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: and yet he didn't take his own. Advice. Sir he
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: let the wrong people into his, Life he let the
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: wrong desires grow in his, heart and little by little
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: his devotion To god, faded until one day he was
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: worshiping false. Gods how did that. Happen it wasn't because
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: of one big moment of. Rebellion it was because he
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: didn't guard his. Heart and if it could happen To,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: solomon it can happen to any of. Us if you
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: think you're strong enough to let certain things in without being,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: affected you're already. Deceived because the enemy doesn't need permission
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: to destroy, You he just needs an open. Door and
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: if you are not, careful you will wake up one
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: day and wonder how your heart became so distant From.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: God but here's the good. News just as you can
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: let the wrong things, in you can also shut the.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Door you don't have to let your past mistakes define.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: You you don't have to stay trapped in cycles that
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: are draining your. Spirit you don't have to let toxic
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: influences have access to you any. Longer Because god has
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: given you everything you need to protect your. Heart he
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: has given you his word to keep you grounded in.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Truth he has given you his spirit to convict you
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: when something isn't. Right he has given you his wisdom
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: to discern what should stay and what should. Go but
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: you have to use. It you have to decide right
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: now that your heart is too valuable to leave. Unguarded
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: you have to choose to shut the door on things
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: that are slowly stealing your, peace your, purity and your,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: purpose because if you, don't the enemy will gladly take
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: whatever access you give. Him So i'll ask, again what
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: are you letting into your heart that shouldn't be. There
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: what you need to, Remove what do you need to cut?
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Off what you need to surrender To god once and for.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: All because this isn't just about avoiding. Sin this is
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: about protecting Everything god has planned for. You this is
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: about walking in peace instead of. Anxiety this is about
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: having wisdom instead of. Confusion this is about living in
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: victory instead of constantly feeling. Defeated but it all starts
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: with one. Decision will you guard your heart or will
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: you let the wrong things? Stay because your future depends on.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: It drop a comment. Below what's one thing you need
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: to remove from your heart. Today let's take this seriously
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: because you're your heart is too valuable to leave. Unprotected
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: you know the truth, now you know how serious this.
• 56:06
