THOUGHTS OF THE HEART

   ''The Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings''.

  Our heart belongs to the Lord, he created it, so every activities going on in our heart He knows about them all, non is hidden unto him, therefore we shall all be Judge in whatsoever thought we allow to control us because 'as a man thinks in his heart so he is'.

  THOUGHT- is an idea/opinion produced by thinking or occuring suddenly in the mind.Thousands of thoughts flood our heart every day, both good and evil, some we derive them through thinking and some come suddenly by themselves, be it from Holy Spirit or from the devil. It is not a sin when evil idea flash in our heart but it is evil if we like,allow and yield to those opinion. Demons cannot read your mind nor do they know your thought, they only try to throw an evil idea into your heart waiting for your response,you give them victory if you respond positively, it is a sin if you are planning to establish evil idea and this is called intention.

 INTENTION: An aim/plan, conceptions formed by directing the mind  towards an object. If someone got an idea in his heart and he appreciate it and begin to direct his mind, thinking how to archieve the idea, at this stage the person is becoming evil in his thought, at this stage the person begin to strategies, find information, picturing and imagining how he will perform the operation. Brethren,check your thought,is it holy or evil before you start ruminating and strategizing on it,is your plan presently pleasing unto God.Sometimes if you ask a criminal why did you did that, he'll say because I need money, because I want to get the position, because I am hungry, because I need a car etc. these are call motive.

  MOTIVE- is the reason for doing doing something.A person motive of serving God may be because he want to see God, make heaven and avoid hell, some people are lured into witch craft not because they like it but because they want to protect thier children, want money or because they want power, they are bound and driven by their motive. Judas didn't like to betray Jesus but he was driven by the Love for money. Si'mon the socerer motive was honour and appraisal from his fellow samaritan Acts 8:18-22 ''And when Si'mon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Ho'ly Ghost was gievn, he offered them money. Saying, Give me also power that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may recieve the Ho'ly Ghost. But Pe'ter said to him, Your money perish you because you have THOUGHT that the gift of God may be purchased with money. You have neither part nor lot in this matter: for your heart is not right in the sight of God'', now do you understand thought, intention and motive is ?, fine that's good. God alway know our thought Gen 6:5 '' And God saw that the wickedness of ma was great in the earth, and that every imagination of his heart was only evil continually'' Ps 7:9 ''...For righteous God tests the hearts and minds''. Those that are righteous understand this verse Deut 15:9 '' beware lest there be a wicked thougt in your heart'' the Psalmist siad Ps 19:14 '' let the word of my mouth and the meditation of my hearth be acceptable in your sight, o lord my strength and redeemer''.   Evil thougths come from within the heart Mk 7:21 ''for from inside, out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, alduteries, fornications, murders....'' therefore you have to check your heath always, guaging it with the word of God. Many pastor, great men of God, Ministers and Evangelists  are trooping into hell due to little little foxes in their heart, some don't really commit aldultery but they do it in their heart.

  CHECK POINT: Ask yourself, ' Is my Thoughts pure'?

  Somebody like Haman Est 6:6, the foolish man Lk 12:17 allow evil thoughts which request their lives.

             HOW TO AVOID SINFUL THOUGHT

 1. Using the Sword of the Spirit: Heb 4:12 ''For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart''.

 2. Casting out imagination out of your heart 2 Cor 10:5 ''Casting  down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself agaianst the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity evry thought to obedience of Christ; ''

 3. Revenge through the power of prayer: 2 Cor 10:6 ''And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled''.
