The Heart of the Matter


Matthew 12:35
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

• Everything we deal with is an issue with the “heart”
• In order to have outside growth
• You need to have inside growth first
• Inward growth is not something that happens overnight
• There must be a change in your mindset
• If you want it on the outside
• You have to put it on the inside


Romans 12:2
2And 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.

• That’s why we focus on the renewing of the mind


Proverbs 16:9
9A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directed his steps.

• The heart is a key factor when dealing with either spirit or soul
• A man’s heart determines a man’s way
• We need to help others with heart transplants.


Jeremiah 17:5, 9-10
5Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusted in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked who can know it? 10 I 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.
