Prov. 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.

Prov. 4:23 力の限り、 見張って、 あなたの心を見守れ。
　いのちの泉はこれからわく。

We’re told in Proverbs to protect our hearts. When the Bible talks about heart it can have various meanings. Remember we’re a three part being. We are a spirit, we have a soul, and we live in a body.  

Here in Proverbs we see heart is not our physical heart (body) but it is our spirit and soul. Also remember our soul is made up of our mind, will, and emotions. So what are we to protect with all diligence?

We are to protect our souls. That means what we think, how we feel, and what we desire. One preacher made it clear to us at a ministers conference one January. He said, protect yourself from what you watch, what you listen to, and letting your feelings go out of control. 

Protect the entrances to your eyes, yours, and your other senses. 

Rev. 3:15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.

Rev. 3:16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Rev. 3:15 「わたしは、 あなたの行いを知っている。 あなたは、 冷たくもなく、 熱くもない。 わたしはむしろ、 あなたが冷たいか、 熱いかであってほしい。

Rev. 3:16 このように、 あなたはなまぬるく、 熱くも冷たくもないので、 わたしの口からあなたを吐き出そう。

Rev. 3:12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.

Rev. 3:12 勝利を得る者を、 わたしの神の聖所の柱としよう。 彼はもはや決して外に出て行くことはない。 わたしは彼の上にわたしの神の御名と、 わたしの神の都、 すなわち、 わたしの神のもとを出て天から下って来る新しいエルサレムの名と、 わたしの新しい名とを書きしるす。

God wants us to be overcomers. 

We saw three people die prematurely that didn’t need to. They believed it was Gods will. That’s flat out at wrong. 

Wrong believing and no Bible faith could kill you. We should refuse to lose to sin, sickness, and disease. Overcome by the power and name of Jesus!

Rev. 2:7  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’

Rev. 2:7 耳のある者は御霊が諸教会に言われることを聞きなさい。 勝利を得る者に、 わたしは神のパラダイスにあるいのちの木の実を食べさせよう。 」』

Jesus has called us to win, not lose. We’re not supposed to get beat up. We’re supposed to overcome. How do we overcome?  By strong faith built by knowing Gods Word. 

Reading on…

Rev. 2:26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—

Rev. 2:26 勝利を得る者、 また最後までわたしのわざを守る者には、 諸国の民を支配する権威を与えよう。

Rev. 1:3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

Jude 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

Jude 20 しかし、 愛する人々よ。 あなたがたは、 自分の持っている最も聖い信仰の上に自分自身を築き上げ、 聖霊によって祈り、

Praying in the Holy Spirit is the most powerful praying you can do. You’re not limited to your words and understanding. You are praying in the unlimited languages of heaven and earth. You’re praying in a language you don’t know or understand.
