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

NEVER LET JEZEBEL BLUFF YOU!!!

Thought : "Come Out of Your C.A.V.E. "

Intro: Jezebel threatened Elijah. He ran and requested to die. God sustained him. He Eventually, Wound up in a cave. God came and said, "What doest thou here Elijah"? He was commanded to come out and stand at the entrance. God put on a display of prophetic overtures. 

THE ILLUSTRATED SERMON
Fire, Wind, and an Earthquake. 

He wasn't in them. Soo, what was he saying? Or better yet, doing? Why this display of nature? I submit, God was preaching an illustrated sermon. 

Fire: Represented Elijah's fiery temperament. On Mt. Carmel, God was in the fire, on Mt. Sinai, He, was in the bush that burned with fire. He was in the tongues of fire in the upper room, but not, this fire! 

 Wind: Represented Elijah's "intensity and fervency of ministry". God was in E37, valley of dry bones Wind. Day of Pentecost, rushing, mighty, Wind, but not this wind. 

 Earthquake: Represented Elijah's 'mover and "shaker" mentality'. God was in the earthquake that swallowed up, Korah, Dathan, Abiram, 250 princes, and those who weren't on the Lord's side, in Moses day. He was in the earthquake that occurred the moment Jesus gave up the ghost, but He was not in this earthquake. 

CONTENTS:
Suddenly, there was a still, small, VOICE! God was in the whisper. No one, but Elijah, knows what God said. 

Note: It represented a dimension Elijah had not experienced. God was saying, I am God. 

Sometimes, it's not fiery worship, fervent praying or flame throwing preaching, but stillness of fullness . Full of God, but, devoid of self. 

Sometimes, it's not not the bombastic blast of a preacher's wind of eloquence of oratory that tells the story. 

Sometimes, it's not the shaking of the building or believer, that precipitates the making of a move of God. 

HEAR THIS...
Beloved of God, FELLOW PREACHER'S, Sometimes, "IT's simply relaxing, taking a chill pill and yielding to a divine dealing". It's knowing that, God already scoped the place where His people will come. He gave them the word. They obeyed what they heard. You just need to show up and watch God, SHOW OUT!!! 

CONCLUSION
The cave was:
C- cold, not comforting
A- animals not humans 
V- vision limited
E- enclosed, one way out

NOTE .
Life's caves are soo cold. We can either retreat in defeat, lose our feet, or declare , THIS, WILL TURN OUT SWEET . 
The caves surround us with creatures of discomfort , with an animalistic atmosphere they exude. We can see, but limited, because the walls of limitation hinder the peripheral view. 

We can only get out of our SELF IMPOSED CAVE, the way, that, we got in. 

Hear this:
YOU MUST COME OUT OF YOUR CAVE OF HURT, Pain and INHIBITION, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW GOD, LEARN YOURSELF AND CHANGE and become the new you. 

WORD : Never let Jezebel BLUFF YOU.

David went into a cave. It was called ADULLAM. 
It means, "A TESTIMONY". As you leave the cave, GOD WILL SCREAM YOUR VOICE, til favor locates you and GPS's your EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS END!!!!

Exceeding Expectation

Text: Roms. 4...being fully persuaded....he embraced the promises...

Subject: "No Excuse For Excuses!"

Intro: As an 18 year old Evangelist, I preached this subject in Toledo, Ohio. The principal character was Jeremiah. His excuse initially was that of being, "but a child". God informed him, that He knew before he was born. Knew him before he was formed. Called him and intended to use him to tear down and to build up, among other things. He was chosen. Jeremiah said yes and the devil couldn't say no. There was no excuse for excuses.

Moses met God at a "common bush with uncommon glory."
He was burned out. The bush burned on. God said go...he said, "woe". Excused himself, because of a stuttering problem. God said, "I will be your mouth"! Moses got it done, and when he was done, God took him home. No excuse for excuses. 

What's your excuse? Is it education? Fear of Rejection. Lack of money? Too many Challenges? Degree of Difficulty? Your advanced Age? Bankruptcy? Too little Time? Many have faced these "Impostors and Overcome! YOU WILL TOO!!! No excuse for excuses. 

EDUCATION
You've heard of Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Pres. Harry Truman, Stephen Spielberg, Michael Dell, legendary Anchorman Walter Cronkite, and media mogul Ted Turner. Not one of them graduated from college. No excuse for excuses. 

AGE
Most have eaten at KFC, founded by Colonel Sanders. He was 66 at the time. He was a Christian. I watched a youtube clip of him on TBN before he died the audience was spellbound by his story of rejection and perseverance. No excuse for excuses. 

DIFFICULTY
The ant carries 400 times it's own weight. Consider the ant...Solomon said. The bumblebee's body is too big to fly. Oops, he didn't get the "not possible memo". My friends, there's no excuse for excuses. EXCEED EXPECTATIONS!

CHALLENGING
To produce a lb. of honey, the Honeybee. visits 56,000 clover heads. Each head has 66 tubes. All total 3.3 million times for 1lb. That's about 3 times around the world if it were miles. For 1 tablespoon, it requires 4200 trips. Think of that the next time you add honey to your tea. No excuse for excuses. EXCEED EXPECTATIONS! 

FAILURE
A guy wanted to build cars. Went broke 5 times before he got the first one built. Henry Ford is gone. His cars are still here. He once said. "If you think you can't then, YOU CAN'T. Miracles come in Can's! No excuse for excuses. 

BANKRUPTCY
Walt Disney, was bankrupt 7 times before Mickey Mouse ever got a home at Disney World. He was a believer. s a child he drew flowers with smiles. Teacher scolded him, "Walt, flowers don't have faces"! He answered, "Mine do". At his theme parks today, all the flowers have smiles! In Florida, developers, saw a swamp, he saw a family vacation venue, and today, the world sees Disney World! No excuse for excuses.
EXCEED EXPECTATIONS!

In case, you think your best years are behind you, or that, you've failed than you succeeded, remember this....

FYI
Plato wrote "The Republic", 9 times before he finished. 

Cicero practiced his oratory for 30 years, before he became famed for it. 

Webster spent 36 years compiling words for his Dictionary, which still ranks, among the best of all time. 

Virgil took 7 years to write his classic. 

Michaelangelo, took 8 years to paint Sistine Chapel on his back, an inch a day. The financier asked, "When will you make an end of it"? He replied,"When I'm done with it"! 

Edison had 1000 failed experiments, before he caused a light bulb to shine. Friends asked, was he discouraged? He said, "No, now I know 1000 things that don't work"! 

NOTE:
He was called a genius. He humbly replied, "genius is one per cent inspiration, 99 per cent perspiration"! 

That'll preach. No excuse for excuses. 

EXCEED EXPECTATIONS!

Jesus did. He died. He cried. He sighed. Nailed to a tree, he created, between two common thieves, he became sin for us. Offered a sour painkiller. He spit it out. While dying, he was thirsty. He felt forsaken, and He asked God, Why? But, he never lied. BELOVED of God, "you can make it, if you try. Tell excuses goodbye. 

Jesus said "in three days, you will see me again. He took on our sin. Theologians call it "propitiation". They buried him in a borrowed tomb. The earth became a womb. 72 hours later. He walked through a wall and into a room. He got up, saying, "ALL POWER.... Go ye. Go is 2/3rd's of God. 

Go into the Upper Room, not the Supper Room. Wait til you get power for your finest hour, so that with God, you will: 
EXCEED EXPECTATIONS!!!

It's been good hanging out with you, today... I sure do loveee and celebrate you.

Let The Church Say...

LET THE CHURCH SAY, "Even So, Come, Lord Jesus".

 

I see a “Move” of God coming that will be second-to-none.

In this move, the Ministers will be the first to be delivered. They will take off and lay down their masks. They will unsheathe their swords, never to be used on their fellow preachers again. They will open their hearts to worship as David of old. Their vestments will be removed. Their titles will not be spoken of. They will sit and sing among the people, and they will worship as the 24 Elders.

 

No longer will they be comically caricatured as pimps, potentates or players (read: “playahs”), but as priests, patriarchs and pioneers. They will show more emotion while another is speaking than when they are. Jealousy, pettiness, idiosyncrasies, peeves, emulation and competition will not be named among them.

 

Regardless of doctrinal differences, they will not be disconnected from their brothers’ struggles or sisters’private pain. Churches will overflow again without control,browbeating, or manipulative tactics of insecurity guised as concern.

 

The gimmickry of "crowd gathering” will be discarded. God will magnetically draw from unseen places and the remotest parts. Facilities will be shared. Space rented to other ministries as if in a mall. Multiple services being held in one location by different ministries. Start-up churches will be sponsored as if a new baby was born into the family. Pastors will slip into another service before going to their own to receive inspiration and will give generously to help others.

 

They will trade in their thousand dollar suits for less expensive ones and give the difference to domestic and foreign missions. They will trust their hearts and tell their stories with precision and without pretense.

 

Elders will be ordained from the youth and the young will return to the fathers. The old will weep while realizing that this is day they saw in their vision, before their strength grew small.

 

THIS IS THE GLORIOUS CHURCH WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE. I see this in an "open vision". Can you believe God and say, in agreement, "EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS!”

"SATAN WANTS YOUR COAT!"

THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM GOD FOR YOU 

...When we say, "God is good all the time, it means, ALWAYS!" I retired at 10 last night. Weary from a travel day and dealing with the remnant of a cold. 

I awakened at 3am. In restless mode, I watched youtube videos of Nelson Mandela's memorial service. Got dressed, preparing to attend a "Leaders' Summit". 

Got in my car. Noticed, that, my compartments were opened, my papers were all over the seats, etc. My car was vandalized. My dress coat, was gone. It was the only thing stolen. Anyway, I began to praise. Several reasons. 

Whoever stole my stuff, reminded me of two scriptures. 

1)..."they took joyfully, the spoiling of their goods."
2)..."the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy...."

NOTE: A wise saint, who was once was stolen from, was fuel for my praise party. He wrote that when he was stolen from, He gave God thanks,

A. That, his life was spared.
B. That, all they got was stuff that can be replaced.
C. That, he was the one, stolen from, and not the pitiful one, who, was the thief.

Amen to that. St. Paul said, to "give thanks, "in", all things... Note: Not, FOR, all things, but, IN, all things. So, join me in thanking God, because, it is a prophetic thing.

You may wonder, why I say that. Well, because, it's a sign of a, 7-fold return is coming. 

TESTIMONY AND HOW THIS APPLIES TO YOU. 
Years ago, I was en route to see Kim Clement, 3 hrs away. A car rammed me from behind, as I waited at a light. 

I started not to continue but to return home. However, I proceeded on. Got to the church. 3 hrs later. Sat way

in the back. The Prophet recognized me, called me out and said, "Brian Keith Williams, you have no business back there, come to the front row.." 

He asked me to have words and receive the evening offering. I did as requested. I sowed a 980 dollar seed. You see, beloved of God , "I drove all that way, not to hear him speak, bit to sow a seed. "

He Prophesied to me saying, "JUST BEFORE YOU CAME HERE TONIGHT, SOMETHING HAPPENED. GOD SAYS, THE EXACT OPPOSITE WILL HAPPEN IN THIS NEXT SEASON!!! I knew God was saying, "for all the times, I had been hit in the back while I waited for life's signal to change, he would have my back.". 

Within weeks and months, doors flew open and i preached in the largest conferences in America and overseas. 

PLEASE REMEMBER: 
It started with a seed and a hit from behind. 

KNOW THIS: For every hit, for every theft, for every SEED, God will PAY YOU LIKE NO ONE CAN. Praise Him now. 
This morning, 

I'm en route to see Bishop TD Jakes. and I get vandalized. SURELY, I HAVE THE VICTORY. Surely, you can identify.

LESSON: 
I pray that my coat, keeps them warm. 

It contains virtue, like the "coat of many colors, the hem of Jesus garment, or the hanker chiefs, taken from Paul's body." Who knows, the "conviction" may be soo great, they bring it back, and with a "confession". 

I started my car, put all my papers back in the compartments. Then, I heard a song from my youth of 40 years ago..."No, never alone, no never alone, he promised never to leave me. Never, to leave me, alone." 

I blessed in God's presence. He is with me. 

HEAR THIS !!!
Here's the moral for my morale. I accidentally, left the door unlocked. That's how the "thief got it!" I hear the Holy Ghost now. 

"Tell the saints, LOCK THE DOORS!" Life and fb is fun. Good fellowship. But, loaded with hazards. The thief comes to steal your "coat of praise, and your covering for the cold, even when, you're battling a cold!" 

Soo, LOCK THE DOORS OF YOUR HEART. Secure your valuables and when the thief comes, even, if he gets a little something, it is nothing TO HOW GOD IS GOING TO HOOK YOU UP TODAY!!!

Somebody. Bless the Lord. You are NOT ALONE!"

Agape' You. Sir Brian
