MATTERS OF THE HEART: Woman Your Hair Needs To Be Washed

Text: ...the glory of the woman is her hair... Apostle Paul

Intro: I RECEIVED A PROPHETIC DREAM LAST NIGHT A WOMAN WITH DIRTY HAIR . It was a matter of God's heart to reveal His secrets to servants, the E37MOVE, Apostolic/Prophetic A.RM.Y. 

KEY: Dreams are the sleep language of God. Acts 2 promises, we will see dreams. Visualization is one thing. Proverbs 29:18. Revelation is another. Ephesians 1:18. 

The interpretation affects the application. You can "see correctly, but, interpret wrongly". 

STORY:
A prophet once told a man that he was ministering to that he saw a visions of nuts and bolt's around him. He interpreted it to mean, the man's life was "screwed up". That wasn't it. The man was a MECHANIC. 

So, the Prophet hit it and missed it. Beloved of God, "THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO 
BE HITTING AND MISSING".

I. Visualization/ DREAMS

A. Joseph had a gift that, made other people's dreams come to pass. Because of this, HE RECEIVED PROMOTION!!! 

B. The key was the gift of INTERPRETATION. His dreams were, "Words of Knowledge". Not just knowledge. His interpretations were, "Words of Wisdom". Not just wisdom. 

C. He saw it and knew what to do about what he saw. 

NOTE: Beloved of God, You need to fervently pray for the DISCERNING OF SPIRITS 
AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES. 
I Chronicles 12:32 & I Cor. 12 . 

D. APOSTOLIC/PROPHETIC
Because he got ( the interpretation) right, HE BECAME GOVERNOR. The governorship is the mantle of the Apostle/Prophet. The Apostle Governs. The Prophet Guides. To govern, WE MUST GET IT RIGHT AND MAKE IT RIGHT. 

ADMONITION
E37MOVE, nor the church, can claim to be an apostolic/prophetic A.R.M.Y., without the "signs of an Apostle" and the prophetic mantle or garment of the anointing. Let us pray that God add these gifts to our midst daily. 

E. LAST NIGHT's DREAM: 

I had a prophetic dream last night. I saw a bottle of hair wash. Then the dream shifted and a man was telling the lady her hair was dirty. The dream ended. Nothing else was shown. I prayed for quick understanding. The "Word of the Lord", came to me saying: 

II. Interpretation: 

A. Hair represents 
1) Covering
2) Woman's Glory
3) Samson's Strength

B. Dirt represents the state of 
Uncleanness-Sin 

C. Woman represents the church-bride

D. Man represents the prophetic word-preaching 

III. Application: 

A. This is how this dream is 
to be applied. 

1.The Church(woman) has issue with glory affecting it's strength, in the area of it's covering (leadership). 

2.The hair wash contains (water), and soap (the blood). Both cleanse. 

3.The woman saw it before the prophet said it. 

4.In this hour, expect God to show you things or bring to to your remembrance things He has shown you. Then, confirming it prophetically. 

Note: The dream ended w/o the woman doing it. 
She just stood in silence, almost dumbfounded, feeling embarrassed, not, knowing what to say. 

IV. Exhortation:

A. Beloved: LET US HEED THE WORD WE HAVE HEARD. 
Our coverings must be clean. 
Glory must not be tarnished. Strength must be in our unbroken covenant with God. 

B. Live holy. Require that your coverings do the same. Samson put his head in Delilah's lap. He had been in sin, never lost his strength totally. But, the "hair" was the "outward sign of an inward grace". It was the visible proof of his COVENANT WITH GOD. 

C. It wasn't the haircut that caused the strength to depart. It was the "breaking of the solemn, sacred, covenant"  He shook himself, not knowing the Spirit of the Lord had departed". 

D. E37MOVE, We learned earlier this week, (re-read it) that the 2nd Brain or true spiritual heart is in the area of the bowels/belly/gut. His gut instinct was gone and so was his strength. WOMAN, WASH YOUR HAIR!!!!

GOD'S POWER

When I was in my teens, I wanted "POWER" with God so much, I DID SILLY THINGS. 

1) I stayed after church. I shut in and drank the "olive oil". After a 30 minute season of heave-ho, devil, you gotta go, I realized, the oil, is for the head, not the stomach. Out of your belly shall flow rivers...., not regurgitation. 

2) I longed for POWER soo much, I went into the woods, intending to pray til morning like Jesus. The mosquitoes were demonically inspired. My "all night" prayer ended in 15 minutes, after 30 or so, slaps and swipes. The devil is a liar and a biter. 

3) I soo desired power that I got on my knees every evening, after high school, seeking to hear the audible voice of God. One day, while in deep meditation, in the basement window, I heard a sound. It had a certain something in it. I opened my eyes. My German Shepherd was staring in the basement window, the light hit his eye and he looked like lucifer. He nearly scared me, "wasteless". I started speak in tongues, unknown to me, angels or the Holy Spirit. The interpretation was: NEVA AGAIN!!! Whew.

POINT: I had much zeal. Little knowledge. I wanted power with God to heal the sick, YES...raise the dead. Etc... At least I wasn't Simon, trying to buy POWER. (Acts 8). 

But, my error was I wanted power to "get my share of applause, and props". Hey.. I was 16-17. Lighten up. 

But, these decades have taught me, AGE DOES NOT CHANGE FLESH RULES EGO-MANIACAL ASISININI-TUDES.  I have learned, a single principle, YOU AND I, would do well to remember: 

HERE IT IS: ..."twice have I heard this, ALL POWER belongs to GOD."

 God's only begotten Son, said: 
"All Power is given unto me....". Then he said, "go...wait for power that CLOTHES you, from, on high". Luke 24:47-49 

POWER PRINCIPLE: 
"JESUS GIVES POWER. HE DOESN'T GIVE IT AWAY"!!!!

Beloved of God, USE THE POWER, Don't act like it's yours. Hello fellow preachas'. 

WORD: You want power. You need power. You've got power. Acts 1:8. It's called, THE HOLY GHOST. No need to pray in the forest. Meditate in the basement. Or, drink OLIVE OIL, just, let God, BE in YOU, ALL POWERFUL, being HIMSELF!!!! Holla...haha. No more olive oil cola.

GOD'S POWER: "Truth with Transparency"

Beloved of God, I BELIEVE I WILL TESTIFY!!! God said, "It is Good." YOU SHOULD STOP TO DO THE SAME.

There is a trend happening in a lot of my meetings. People remaining in their seats long after service in silence. It seems like they are soaking, but, there is normally, no music. It's such a "holy moment" as people are led beside still waters. As they, "be still, they know, He is God."

Sometimes, Even I sit. Sunday, this happened in the morning. In the evening when the end came, Pastor Damon Parran said there was and I quote:, "confirmation after confirmation after confirmation after confirmation..." 

That blessed me to hear. The ironic thing is that with all my blessed oratorical abilities and rhetorical skills, THESE DAYS, they are often, not always, but often, put on the back burner, during these moments with Majesty. Sometimes God uses my "strength of preaching/teaching, Other times, my BROKENNESS. 

It seems like God is mostly, using my weakness, instead of my gifts. Paul addressed this in his letter to the Corinthians. 

Even the "gift of prophecy" has been re-activated. This past week, I prophesied to every soul at the altar, young and old. By the Spirit, I read their hearts, told them of things in the past, present and gave them a glimpse of their future. There was a time people would line up to the doors and I would prophesy to everyone individually. Or, I would be led to call them out. On Sunday, When I appealed for a prophetic thirty dollar offering ( number of maturity and fulfillment), nearly, all came forward to give. It wasn't the biggest place I have preached, but, collectively, they had the biggest hearts. Something is happening in Maryland, and on the East Coast. 

This same thing happened when I was with Pastor Avery Cotton. At Bethesda Church, The exact same thing. He is a worshipping leader, like David. I receive such fatherly honor whenever I am with him. . 

When I was in California, I got up to preach the 64th Anniversary message Angela Hearns dad, Bishop Henry Hearns, a Godly man, wept with me throughout the message as I bared my soul and I watched The people sit still with hearts of receptivity for 90 mins as I expounded the truth with transparency. Whew. 

I just said something. "Truth with Transparency!"  A one day meeting turned into four days. The Pastor said, though they have been inviting me, since, 1986, I am not the same man he knew. He is right. I am born again again. David is recovering all. God is moving in California. 

While in Pittsburgh with Bishop David Alan Brock, the first night, check this out, I begged God to let me preach the message without going into personal areas. That didn't work. I got up and I couldn't stay on the subject, for the life of me. I was all over the place. The Pastor said later, that night, "You have no idea how God used you. You were like a skilled marksman that aimed and hit the target, then moved on to the next one". He told me tho I was scheduled for three nights, he started to just give me an offering and send me away. Wow! God is moving in Pennsylvania. 

While in Cincinnati, Apostle Bennie Fluellen, utilized me to minister to Singles around the clock. He said, "I heard you many times, but, there is something different. It's like a 2014 Re-mix". I preached four sessions in two days. He said, that I could have gone for hours and not a soul would have moved. The Altars were jammed. The last day, I preached: "How to Hook A Man W/O Being A Hooker!" OMG. God is moving in Ohio. 

At the church, Hope City, House of Prayer, I preached. Many were blessed, not simply by the revelation released, but by the weeping, seen and brokenness felt. They sat quietly. They are taught thoroughly and purely. They listened quietly to every word. Then it EXPLODED. It's quite a sight to see 100's of young people praising God radically. 

I guess, or I should say, I "know", what people and Prophets have been saying, "God is not through with me yet". 

Well, truthfully, I will walk in every door, but, if those, inviting, want a show of flesh, I'm not the man. I resigned my membership in Showtime Cathedral. 

All I have is "Truth with Transparency", spoken from the heart of a spiritual father. I can still bring the heat. I still do. I can still bring the light. I still do. 

I can still bring the gift. I seldom do. I BRING THE GIVER OF ALL GOOD AND PERFECT GIFTS. 

PLEASE HEAR THIS: I beg everyone's forgiveness, if you ever had to sit thru a Brian Keith Williams performance or small scale Pulpiteering tirade called preaching, in the past. Or, if you experienced the glory, in the past. Keep us lifted, that it shall increase. Thank you.

I know from experience now. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT WORD, but POWER...! 

Time fails to tell of Minneapolis, Pastor Immanuel, Indianapolis, Pastor Sarah Barbour, Charlotte, Bishop Rick Williams Sr., or Ft. Lauderdale, 
Apostle Sylvia W. Cunningham in Virginia etc... 

THE KING IS DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT OF POWER. The 2nd Coming of Brian Keith Williams is on and running. Keep me lifted. I AM TRAVELING THIS NATION. I AM READY TO TRAVEL TO NATIONS AGAIN. 

Keep me lifted intercessors.

MATTERS OF THE HEART: Ego Driven Vs Spirt Led Part 2

"TALE OF TWO PREACHERS"

STORY:
There were these two talented, preachers. Both were young. They met in their mid-teens. Two years apart in age. Both were destined for greatness, extremely gifted. They loved each other. Within a few years they were really good friends.

YOUNG LIONS
Soon, they were both leaders, young lions, pastoring, small congregations. Mid-twenties now. Then, they both started hosting conferences. Because they loved each others' ministry. Each year, they invited each other to preach in their meeting. They BLEW IT UP. Their people "Begged" them to please, please, please, invite them back, next year. THEY DID.

They were "best of friends". When national doors began to open, they were in each others' cheering section. At times, serving as an adjutant without knowing what that was. There was no ego. Just, two brothers, doing what brothers' do.

TRUTH
Then one day, at dinner, one shared with the other, that, at times, he felt the other, was, "in competition" with him. There was no anger, just honesty. The other friend responded humbly and apologized, assuring him that wasn't his intent. Deep in his heart, he knew there was truth to it.

RELIEVED
The older preacher was relieved that his friend didn't take it wrong. He said, "why don't we meet half way sometime and just have lunch and fellowship. They lived three hours apart. They agreed to do it. But, it never happened. One of them, never "prioritized the relationship". After all, their church was growing much faster than his elder brother. He was on radio, local TV, writing booklets, etc...

Then one day, the older preacher had a conference and invited his now, "better known" friend. He also asked could he "borrow" his duplicators. The friend said yes to both. Made a lot of stipulations. From offering, to charge for rental, cost for labor, travel reimbursement, etc...

TEARS
The older preacher choked back tears because he couldn't believe his friend would charge him so much and act like he didn't trust him. However, tho hurt, he told no one, because of how much he knew they respected him. He just, humbly, said, "THANK YOU BUT NO THANK YOU"! You see, the company he used had backed out and he needed the tape sales to pay for his conference, so he called his ANOINTED, NICE, TRUST-WORTHY, but EGO-DRIVEN, COMPETITIVE FRIEND.....(STAY WITH ME)

He swallowed his tears. Hung up gracefully. Went into a room and wept. Wiped his tears and then told his team they would need to try something else. NEVER ONCE UNCOVERING HIS FRIEND.

He pressed and had a great conference. His friend really preached the next night, despite his, ego-driven self. In fact, he was DOUBLY ANOINTED. He preached on "The Eternal Godhead".

The older also preached and someone asked him, how, he thought he did and he answered, self-effacing and meekly, "I WAS THE WEAKEST LINK"! That's not everyone what else said. They said he wrecked it. He was too humble to praise himself.

THE TURNING
Fast forward the tape, 17 years, both had international platforms. One was mega, one was with its' beak coming out the shell. One had 28,000 members. One had pastored a few thousand. One had a 40,000, multi-million dollar facility, on 12 acres. One had about a 300,000 square foot complex on a lake and 200 or more prime acres, worth about 50 million. One had cd duplicators. The other had a warehouse with semi's delivering his product. One was hosting conferences of
a thousand. One hosted conferences that eclipsed. 150,000. One was unmarried. The other was happily married. Both, produced SUPER STAR CHILDREN. They had that in common. Both, recently re-connected and they are like teen age friends again. This time, its not MINISTRY, COMPETITION, EGO, etc... The younger preacher is older, wiser, stronger and BROKEN TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS THROUGH SHOWING HIS SCARS. The other, is the ELDER BROTHER WHO WELCOMED, the preaching, Prodigal home, with the spirit of a father, "MY SON, who was DEAD, BUT, NOW ALIVE!!!!!

GUESS WHO
You've figured it out by now. I, Sir Brian, was the younger, ego-driven, God loving preacher and Sir TD JAKES was the elder, humble, forgiving, brother. Back the tape up again. My friend confessed his hurt 26 years ago and I more than made up for my error.

I learned quickly. Valued his friendship too much and he, mine as well. We drifted apart. NEVER AGAIN. He said let's meet meet half-way, when, we were young. Now, I WOULD MEET HIM AROUND THE WORLD!!!

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Word: TO ALL---- BE SPIRIT LED, NOT, EGO DRIVEN. NEVER BE IMPRESSED WITH YOUR "FEW DUPLICATORS' SELF". VALUE COVENANT FRIENDS AND CHECK YOUR MASSIVE EGO AT THE DOOR IN JESUS NAME!!! Especially Preachers. As APOSTLE,
Agape... Sir Brian

MATTERS OF THE HEART: Ego Driven Vs Spirit Led

The best gift God ever gave the male is his "calling to have dominion". Not over his fellow man, but creation. However, the Adamic propensity toward being ego-driven vs Spirit led is a constant war that rages in their soul. Peter says "abstain from fleshly lusts that war against the soul". This is seen in the tendency to seek to always be in control of every element in his environment.

Unfortunately, often this ego-impulse manifests in how he relates "to the woman" God gives him. Adam and Eve were called to "complete one another, not, compete with, one another". He was made to be the initiator and giver. She was made to be the receiver and multiplier. When she gave him to eat, of forbidden fruit, she was deceived and he transgressed.

Their fallen state produced a fallen state of "her desire being unto him and his weakness being her. This problem is fixed by the last Adam at the cross, where there"is neither male nor female", but, both are one in Christ.

Therefore, the husband's wife is said to be loved as his "own flesh" by Paul, while becoming "one spirit", as a result of sexual copulation. This is a controversial statement, but, Sex marries a man to a woman in the spirit realm, and when, it is discontinued, it causes a spirit divorce, which rips the soul and depending on its oft-occurrence in the past, it fragments men and women and then the person you eventually covenant with, gets a marked down, devalued, fragmented, fractured, incomplete person.

Then, if they've had sexual relations, in violation of covenant, they sow "whoredoms into the foundation of their marriage and more than likely, the marriage is inevitably doomed, tho, it may survive, for years.

The "spirit of distrust" and "insecurity" pervades the relationship, because God's laws have been dishonored, broken and disregarded. True repentance can bring restoration.

Many ego-driven men, who acted like dogs, urinating against a tree, "to mark their spot", must bow their knee, once again and this time, "ask her forgiveness for playing the whore and destroying a portion of your soul, when he violated you, penetrated you and thus, punctured, your ability to flow with him as you TRUE SPIRITUAL HEAD and not simply a male without a womb. Selah.

Many years ago, When I dated the love of my life, my childrens' mother, I gave her a card. It said, ..."Walk behind me...follow me". She graciously thanked me. Then boldly said, "I want to walk beside you, not behind you". She was on point. To quote Judah, "She was more righteous than I. You see, ego was leading me, not the Spirit of God.

I took my issues of insecurity into a marriage. I was an excellent provider, and protector, but, not challenged a priest or patriarch. I truly meant well. Let me explain.

I brought my money home. Paid every bill. Financed a fabulous, well dressed, fed, educated, lifestyle for my wife and children. I was "among the best hands down". No boast. Its' true. They will tell you that. Including her. I guarded my house, established standards of education, excellence, family altar, protocol etc. I protected them and was willing to "give my life for theirs in a heartbeat".

In fact, the most painful part of the cessation, was a sign in a court room, which read, "Williams vs Williams. Huh? How did that happen? So, I was a provider and protector. Now, here's the other side.

Didn't do so well as a priest or patriarch. At least, not UP TO THE STANDARD I EXPECT OF MYSELF. A priest is a bridge, not a barricade. My youthful ego was "controlling, at times, abrasive, and very insensitive to other peoples' feelings". Perhaps, if our personalities and temperaments had meshed better, there wouldn't have been a constant collision.

She would withdraw in many ways. I would "put my foot my foot down/draw a line in the sand etc...That doesn't work, in retrospect. It produces a "battle atmosphere, behind the scenes, and a civil war ensues". The children are greatly affected even, into their
adulthood, even if they turn out okay.

As the MAN, the responsibility is to give the children, the greatest gift possible. What gift is that?  IT IS THE GIFT OF LOVING THEIR MOTHER AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH. I gave every gift, but that, a good portion of the time.

What good is a mink if the one wearing it doesn't feel super special. What is a mansion without a man who you can trust, won't dash your feelings and crush your heart, because of "image and ministry". Therefore, neither are fulfilled and the door is open to a demon called. "Marriage Breaker".

Tho the man comes off as tough, he is not. He is as "fragile as his bruised ego"

Woman of God, learn how to navigate the man's ego. He is yours to keep. Don't give him away to another. Somebody wants "what you consider, misery". Learn to stroke his God given sense of dominion.

Don 't close your legs or your heart. If Delilah could seduce Samson, with demonic assistance, surely, you can strengthen your Beloved with divine accompaniment. Don't stick a pin in his balloon. Blow it up.

Your mama was wrong, "All men are not dogs". If they were, at least, you can train a dog. Ha. A dog is loyal. Stop competing with your man or dividing his children's heart from them. IF YOU KEEP THAT UP, you will deeply regret when they resent you, for it.

Make sure, your ego is in check. He is not the only only one who has one. TOGETHER, be heirs of the grace if life. Amen....to be continued. Agape' Sir Brian

MATTERS OF THE HEART: 14 Things You need to know About Your Heart in 2014.

INTRO: Do you know the location of your heart? 1) How can you guard it if you don't? 2) How can you love God with all of it when you assume it's in your chest?

THESIS: Beloved of God, You have two hearts. First, your physical hearts beats within your chest. Secondly, Your spiritual heart is the seat of your emotions. It is located in "your spiritual bowels". PLEASE NOTE THAT AND DON'T SPEED READ, or else, you get nothing from this teaching.

I. LOCATION OF HEART
Few examples. Of the location of your heart.
1) Psalms. 22:14 I am poured out like water...my heart is like wax...in the midst of my bowels.

2) Lam. 2:11 ...my eyes fail with tears. My bowels are troubled.

3) Phil. 2:1 ...if any consolation in Christ... Any bowels of mercies...

4) Col. 3:12...put on...bowels of mercies...

5) I John 3:12 ...whoso hath this worlds goods....shutteth up his bowels of compassion, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

HEART/BOWELS
Clearly, the area of our "bowels" is the location our of compassion, mercy, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, despair etc...

NOTE: Sometimes, the word for heart is translated, "belly". Prov. 20:27 The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly".

II. GOD SEARCHES
YOUR HEART
Your heart must be searched by God and revealed to you. David said "search me oh God". The search reveals that the the Spirit of God/anointing flows from the belly. John 7:38...out of his belly shall flow rivers....

Therefore,our "spiritual heart" is not located in our chest, but in our mid-section or belly region. I know that's a surprise to some, but even the word for "will" is sometimes translated as "reins" or "kidneys". Jer. 17:10.

KIDNEYS?
Where are kidneys located? In the mid-section. But, the application is spiritual, not a body part. The point is: THE SPIRITUAL HEART IS DEEP WITHIN, NOT A PHYSICAL PART.

Your will, is the faculty that determines your choices and it is in your "Gut". Not, simply in your natural mind, but in your spirit heart, located in your belly/gut. Hence the term, "Gut Reaction".

Whenever you feel threatened or besieged, your gut tightens. That's a physical reaction to a threatening stimuli. The expression, "I know that I know" has to do with a knowing that is deeper than your head, but, in your heart. It is GUT INSTINCT.

Eph. 1:18 refers to the "eyes of your understanding... "cardia" (meaning cardiac or heart). When your spirit eyes see, your heart is enlightened and gut feeling is working. It's a matter of the heart.

Quote: "A gut decision is not BASED ON LOGIC OR ANALYSIS, but rather, INSTINCT, INTUITION OR FEELING".

Sometimes, we say, "I can feel it...or I sense...What we are saying is that in our heart or spirit...that we feel strongly, in the bowels/belly/gut...mid-section, not in the head".

III. HEART/GUT INSTINCT
Laboratory research has revealed that feelings and thoughts are inseparable. There is a new term to describe this: "Emo-cognitions". It is located, in what some are calling, the "second brain".

The Bible locates it in your mid-section. The brain in your gut is as active as the brain between your ears.

There is a new field of research called, "enteric neurology", which studies, what I am teaching in this, "MATTERS OF THE HEART POST".

The "enteric nervous system" is the PLACE OF KNOWING THAT YOU KNOW. Where thoughts/feelings/volition/emotion becomes one and flows from your belly.

IV. BRAIN WIRED TO HEART 
Physically, your brain is wired
by neurons. So is your "enteric nervous system". Millions line your esophagus, intestines, stomach, and colon.

The two sides of your brain:
(left-cognitive and right-creative) are connected by a NERVE that goes downward to your intestines or mid-section. Emotional information is translated to every cell and organ in your body this way.

V. HEART/GUT MEASUREMENTS
For example: A Polygraph Test depends on 3 factors.
1. respiratory,
2. sweat gland and
3. cardio vascular activity.
It can be beaten. A new lie detector test has been patented. IT MEASURES REACTIONS IN THE GUT.
Why the gut area?

The chief  Univ. Of Texas, researcher, Dr. Pankaj
Pasricha wrote, "the gut has a mind of its' own. Its' nervous system acts independently".

Did you get that? YOUR GUT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. It's not dependent upon the first brain for its' signals. But rather, the brain of your spirit man, or your heart, located deep within your bowels/belly/gut.

WHEN THINGS HAPPEN
When things happens, both brains kick in. We generally go with the one in our head. But, just as, the thoughts in your head must be attended to, but, so, also, the "EMOTIONS" in your bowels/belly/gut.

VI. SPIRITUAL HEART
Because, your "inner man has a spiritual heart, located in your mid-section, containing its' own programming and therefore, greatly influencing you forward.

NOTE: Suppressing emotions associated with our thoughts, force them into the sub-conscious part of your being which hinders your spirit/heart from COMMUNION WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

VII. HEARTFELT WORSHIP
That's why worship must be in the Spirit or out of the spirit or man, what Jesus referred to as the belly.

Col.3:15...let the peace of God rule in your hearts.

VIII. HEART EPICENTER
Your heart is deep down. It flows out of your belly. It is your CORE. 600 times in the it is used in the O.T. Solomon said, in Prov. 4:23 "guard your heart...out of it flows the issues of life". The EPICENTER is in your bowels/belly/gut and then in your various other parts.

IX. THE HEART HURTS IN
THE GUT!!!
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, they go down to the innermost parts of the BELLY. Prov. 18:18. Paul taught that, GOD'S peace, guards our heart...Phil.4:7.

X. MATTERS OF THE HEART 
Since, this is where the heart hurts, it is where it heals. Deep within. Whenever there is negative emotion about a person that means THERE IS SOMETHING between you and them and it must be replaced with PEACE. This requires FORGIVENESS.

XII. FORGIVENESS FROM
THE HEART
Forgiveness is not an act of the head's brain. But, of the spiritual heart. Forgiveness is more of a person than an act. It is Jesus in YOUR HEART RELEASING HIS HEART.

It is an "encounter with him, resulting in an exchange of his grace for your mess". How do know you're forgiven? You know, IN YOUR KNOWER!!!

XIII. HEALING YOUR HEART
It brings "healing to your heart and wholeness to your soul, producing communion with God, who is Spirit".

XIV. THE HEART OF EVERY PROBLEM IS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEART. The solution of your problems is touching the heart of God, and letting flow freely from your belly in the person of Jesus. Your bowels of mercy, the water from your belly and the gut instinct is how you too live.

CONCLUSION: I have presented much attention on the location of the heart? It is because, 
A), Now, you can guard it, because, you know where to find it. 

B) You can hide God's word in it, now that you know your spiritual heart is.

Prayer: "Lord help us to go within, deep down within and be true to our heart and not just our head" in Jesus name. Amen
