A Troubled Heart Leads To a Confused Walk

Have your ever been in a place, confused about why you were there or even made a decision about a thing in life and didn’t understand how you came up with that decision? How about even lost the reason why you were headed in one direction then turn around and start going back in the opposite direction? Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

The Word refers to the heart, but its actually talking about your mind. That is your existence. Brain cells are not only in the brain, but also in the heart. The brain gives your heart thought and memory on how to pump. What is inside of your heart that you can’t retain, explain, or control what goes on in your life? Why is your heart always causing you problems? Your heart isn’t any bigger than your fist. Do you allow things around you to effect your thoughts? Do you allow people to come into your life to destroy your heart? Do you allow thoughts of someone else’s misery to come in and cause you to be miserable? The heart (the mind) is deceitful. It knows to do good but won’t do it. It knows that a situation is wrong, but it goes along with the situation. A man once said, “A woman said she loved me once, then later said she didn’t.” When there’s a problem of the heart whether via emotions, hurt, sickness or even sin, you lose focus and the ability to make rational decisions or judgments. Your heart, which is your mind thinks about that and this. People have used the heart for generations to express their feelings. They notice that when they begin to fall for someone, their heart beats a little faster, being under the impression that it has an intellect of its own. However the mind tells the heart what to be. That is why people always say, “Do you have the heart for this,” or “Do you have the heart for that,” or “Are you heartfelt for those things?” all while grabbing their heart. Why do they grab their heart? Because they know if the heart stops beating so do you. If the mind dies, then you are dead, even if the heart is still pumping.

The Bible also mentions in Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” You think about this because its in you. You love money, possessions, for people to give you accolades, prestige, finances, lifestyle, big homes and cars. Why? Because that is where your heart is. For those who are the children of God, where does your heart lie? If you are someone who is attached to this world, take an evaluation of where you’re heart is. A lot of things that we care for in our hearts and minds where we conceive these thoughts sometimes open the door to Satan’s realm of sin and confusion, making you despondent, having no focus.

1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” So you’re confused. What has troubled your heart that you are confused at this stage in your walk, that you don’t know where your life is going? The Bible clearly state that God is not the problem of confusion nor is he progenitor of a lie. So as we walk our walk, let’s be very careful who we let into our heart or that secret place that we share with our Lord and Savior. That is serious. We talked before about the heart of a married woman to her husband, and the heart of a single woman is the Lord. Each has to be very careful of whom they allow in their presence who would steal her heart away. Why? Its like coming between a married couple. Satan knows that if he can separate you from the source, your walk will be hard and the more stumbling you do, the farther you’ll be from your destination. Its a curious thing to realize who you are and where you are in your life now. If you are in a confused state, look back and see where the confusion has come from. From the love of a thing, something or someone, from a hurtful situation? Emotional attachment have been one of the detriments of a Child of God’s walk in his life. Who are you attaching yourself to and why? When you attach yourself to the wrong things your heart begins to fall for it and you begin to be instructed and guided by that thing. Which is not a good thing for a Child of God. You’ll notice even when you go to school, they’ll tell you in college to maintain your focus on the thing at hand. If you are focused, there is less chance for some other thing to cause confusion to come into your life. Most people allow other things to come in and invade their mind and heart. Everything was going great, everything is good, the Lord is blessing me and all of a sudden he came along and “rocked your world.” You allowed him to come into a calm sea to rough up the water. Now both of you are sitting there in a confused state and don’t know which direction to go in. But you’re trying to walk a walk, which before was progressing so much. You were excited and you wanted things from God and you saw those things happen almost instantly. But under that process, you allowed someone else to come in and trouble your heart. When your heart is troubled it is felt through your whole body. Some of you have been to the point where you were so much in love you couldn’t eat right, talk right or sleep right. That is what a troubled heart goes through when it knows that the attachment is not quite solid. Has anyone broken a cold sweat over the Lord because they couldn’t contact Him? Our hearts and minds need to know one thing: work together. Don’t allow yourself to be over confident in your relationship. Because if there is a door that can be opened through hurt pain or sin, Satan will bring it.


He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.


Psalms 91:1

If you allow yourself to dwell in the secret place with the Lord, your heart will not be broken, no one will steal it or even mess with it, because you’ll be under the shadow of the almighty. He will protect what you are and who you are because you are His. Its when you step out from under the shadow. When its really hot outside and the sun is shining and gleaming down on you, you run under the shade. You’ve never seen anyone run out into the sun when they’re hot. They run to the shade because they want to be under its protection so the sun rays won’t bake them. When you come from underneath the protection of the almighty God, you will be hurt, experience pain and anguish. You will suffer things like you never have before. You will begin to feel that thing affect you more than ever because you are not under the watchful eye of our Cord and Savior. Whatever affects your heart, whether a person, situation or anything along that line, you need to be very careful who comes into your presence and exude control of who and what you are.

1.) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 6.) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 11.) Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. 12.) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Are you doing greater works? Are you doing anything. The Bible says we’re known by the fruit we bear. What are you bearing. 13.) And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14.) If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Why is this so important. If he’s in you and your in him, your heart is in oness and you won’t ask anything unwarrented. So you know its benfitial to you and you’ve already talked it out.


John 14: 1,6, 11, 12-14

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.


Psalms 1:1-3

Are you a tree that’s planted by the rivers of water? Are you planted in the Lord like you should be? If so, how deep are your roots? Are you surface salvation Jesus, or do you rely on hearing a sermon here or there, or are you in your Word doing it as well? He said he meditates on the law day and night? How can you do that? Don’t you need to sleep? There was a science study done sometime back where they found out that if a person plugs their ears and has a book being read to them while they sleep, the comprehension of that person is very high. During the 1980s and 1990s students would do that with professors teachings and they would remember all that was said. Your subconscious is listening to what is going on consciously. You were at rest. There was nothing there to interfere with your heart. You have to be careful because someone could put a demonic device in your ear. Whatever you let into your heart, you have to be very careful. You shouldn’t allow emotions, hurt and sickness or sin to control your heart within.

Designed for Change

1 John 3:1-3

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

If we look at the verse, “beloved, now are we the sons of God,” son’s means daughters too “and it doth not yet appear what we shall be.” Designed for change. Since the dawn of human creation, the homo sapien, sapian, is in a constant state of change or development. From your outer shell, which is your skin. Now understand this, you shed 600,000 particles of skin every hour. 600,000 particles. That means you all are flaking off. Can you have a concept of that? It’s hard to imagine a concept of that. Have you ever seen sand in an hour glass? Just think, that little glass is what you’ve placed out there. You can say you’re every where, and someone’s a part of you. Even when we look at human blood cells, the average human produces 222 billion blood cells a day. You might even say that you are being renewed in your existence every moment, every day. You’re a new being. You’re not the same person you were when you walked through the door. Your body is designed for change. You’re not the same as you were last week. You won’t be the same next week. The same hair that you’ve been growing is constantly pushing out, its not the same. You’re designed for change. Think about this. If we’re in a constant changing mode, both mentally and physically, why do we constantly hold on to things of the past? Trying to resolve issues of a mental and physical nature from before. You weren’t the same person you were when you were involved with what you did before. One thing we should understand is as those cells are created on a daily basis, there are also millions of cells that die and expel from the body. So when we’re creating something new inside the body, something else is getting disposed of. So why are we holding on to dead things, if our body expels them? Why do we hold on to things from the past? A mindset, a way of acting? If our body gets rid of mess, why do we try to retain it? Ok, so, so-and-so got on your nerves 5 years ago. You were a different person 5 years ago.

How many have fallen down and gotten a gash? The gash is made, blood fills the gash, then your body makes a protective secretion. Then a scab develops, while the cells underneath the scab regenerate. It heals itself. When that scab is ready to come off, what is underneath? New skin. What is that saying? We allow gashes to become open of issues of our lives from before, from the past, then they become infected. What happens to infected things on your body? They begins to cause damage to everything that is next to it. So the opening where you had a gash, it was a nice cut, but when you being to pick it and infect it, it turns dark, because its killing the cells around it. Those new cells are sensitive. So because they are new, now they are damaged. So what do the new damaged cells do? Damage the cells next to it. You’ve seen a bushel of apples, with a rotten one in the middle of the bunch. Its like the sin in our lives. That sin sits inside you, and damages you from the inside out. Thoughts, dreams; all those things are a process of that sin nature, which brings about destruction to every memory in your mind. Desires affect things in your life. When you desire to do something, it begins to make room by effecting things in your thoughts. It brings about a change in your thoughts, a change and a process. What does that mean? Well, you being to make room and allowances for that desire. I need that desire, but the desire says I have to change the mind of inspiration, of hope. Guess what happens? The desire sets an atmosphere for it to exist. Its just like being in a relationship with someone. You want it so bad, so you set aside your own morals, sensibilities, and all emotional feelings telling you to stop. You push that aside because the desire has made room enough so you can meet the desire of that desire. Things that you would normally question “Is it right,” you’ll find justification for it to be right. Is it an emotion that you created? We give in and desire makes us do one other thing: give up. When we give up, we do whatever we want to do. We operate under the laws of desire. It may not be desire, it may be anger or hatred, we operate under the laws of that things.

It is an import thing to know that we can’t allow situations to fester inside of us. This is notorious of women, and I’m not picking on women. Women who fall in love have a tenancy not to let go. And if something happens that breaks up that relationship, then they want to know why. They bug the source that ended the relationship. If this isn’t done, it festers in them, because it was something unfulfilled. So when it comes to another relationship, what is the first thing that will come out of them? The hurt pain and anguish and that thing that festered in them. Then they wonder why the new relationship doesn’t work. Because you have allowed the other to fester and change who you are. In order for you to grow as you’re body was designed, you have to let go. “But its hard to let go, I can’t let go! There is a big question mark in my head.” When they meet the source of the break up, they say why? Why did you? You start to examine yourself. Is my head too big, is it my shape, is it my face? We begin to question our outer appearance, then when it still isn’t fulfilled we don’t change. We halt our growth mentally, and when we do this we don’t grow physically. Sometimes it leads to death, over a situation that happened years ago. That is why our policy is to forgive yourself, so you can grow again. There is another little demon that sneaks in called “settle.” I’ll settle for this, or that, if I can’t get this. I know I’m not at this level to get this, so I’ll settle for that. You need not to prove to anyone, give a conclusion to anyone, even to yourself about situations gone bad in your life. It happens. The main thing is you were designed to constantly be growing, to constantly change. Your mind has held your physical life back.  Now you have stress, eating disorders, high blood pressure, abuse to who you are. You think less of what you are, that you aren’t worthy of anybody. We have allowed these things to halt us in our growth. If you don’t grow and mature and begin to blossom at the level you are suppose to, then you’re slowly dying. Most people settle. God says that we are kings  and queens, but we keep hoboing, hoboing our way to salvation? Why? Becuase the thing that was festering has destroyed your nerves, brought unsurety to you life in every aspect of your life. God doesn’t want us to be an unsure individuals, He has designed you to be sure.

Philippians 3:11-16

If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

“forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before…” Things in your life that have caused you to fail, that have caused you to be critical, judgmental of yourself. Forget these things. Your body understands changes, but you don’t. You body understands when its time to change, but you don’t. But the Word of God is trying to tell you to forget about those things, and move on. Looking for those things that are before you. Its what’s behind you that is pulling you back to the past; pain, hurt, anguish. Forget these things and press toward the things in front. What would happen if you eat and eat and never expel what you eat? You’ll die. John Wayne had at least of 100 pounds of fecal matter, undigested in his body. If you don’t get rid of the poison in you, you will die. Medically speaking, if a person is brain dead, then everything else is dead. Are you hearing me? If you hold onto the mess long enough, it will kill you! It poisons your whole system. That is why if you hold onto stress in your head, it poisons your blood, your heart to the point where your body says that it can’t deal with it anymore. What is in the past is in the past. Its time for us to move to the future. Its time for us to move to the future. Stay out the past. Christ can’t use you if you’re constantly living in the past. Everything you see is judged by the past. Satan brings up the past, going before the Lord Jesus and accuses you, on a regular basis. Don’t give him something to fight with. Let him not want to run before the Lord. You want him to run to the Lord and say “stop that child from interfering in what I’m doing!” Remember one thing, forgetting those things behind you. Its nothing in front of you, its what behind you that smells. How would people look if they had their butts in front of them? Or if your head was turned backward, you’ll smell everything. Everything Satan says about you, may have been true at one point, but that is when you were that person. I’m not the same as I was 5 mins ago. Every cell has been revived, restored inside, constantly. So why do I refuse to change, and just stay the same? Why do we hold people to that? You remember what you did, how you were. 

Are you going to let your past become your future? We don’t even realize that all the things that are in our past that we don’t let go of, have become our future. That is why when you see relationships when they break up, do they talk about what could have been or what has been? They always talk about what was. They’ll get with someone else and argue and fuss about what the other person did to them. That thing that festers inside of you and begins to affect your common reason, and your reason has now become a settled reason. Forgetting those things that are in the past; behind me, and reaching for those things in front of me. God has said that you are more than a conqueror. Greater is He that is in you than he that’s in the world. When demons posses you, they only posses your body to scare everyone around. Demons can’t possess your soul. They can’t touch anything that doesn’t belong to them. It has been bought with the Blood of Christ. Your body is just a shell that can be inhabited. You can do one thing to your body. You can destroy it. How do you destroy it? By letting the past become your future. When you neglect who you are, you get sinful sores all over you. When those things mature and become ripe, they destroy you. Then you’re no go for any thing.

God said He came to bring you life and that more abundantly. How can you have an abundant life, if you’re constantly pulling us your mess? You’ll be in your home alone, and all of a sudden a song comes a long and takes you back to a moment in the past. You are now living in that moment. You have just been pulled away to your past. Then you go about your day thinking about that moment. Then satan who sees your actions knows that you are thinking on that. Then, he has so-and-so call you, so-and-so who did you wrong. The whole while you’re talking to them, you are agitated, and all they wanted was to say please forgive me. The Bible says we’re not ignorant of Satan’s devices. Its nothing new, because its what we went through, because he can bind us to the things we’ve already gone through. You are designed for change.

Romans 12:1-4

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

The world tries to hold you to something that was, could have been; if you only had. Christ tells us to forget about that, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Your body was designed for change. Brain cells are dying by the millions in your life, but other cells are being prepared. Those brain cells that you had when you were thinking one way are gone. Why keep impregnating the new brain cells you have with the bad things from the old brain cells. The only way that transformation will take place is to get new patterns in your life. If you do A, B, and C you’ll always get D. What happens if you say you’ll start at G, or do X, Y, Z? You’ll get different results. The Lord wants us to change; get rid of the old man, and begin to do something different. If you continue with the same pattern, you’ll always get the same results. Sin + Sin = Sin. Anger+Anger=Anger. Math also works for good things. Love+Love=Love.

Oneness of thought is order, but confusion of thought is disorder. Oneness in the body is health and life, confusion in the body is unhealthy and death. Which one do you choose? Life or death. Christ came to give us life, and that more abundantly. If Christ chooses life and oneness, why can’t we?

John 10:1-8

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
