Your Spirit & Your Heart
Week 3 : Foundations
Because God is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad,
and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.
-Psalm 16:8-9
Homework:
Fortress bricks
Begin making a comprehensive, detailed list of all those in your lifetime who have been glad that you exist. (Don’t forget God!) We will be using this list to help build a certain kind of fortress in your heart, so be thorough. Keep the list handy, and let your spirit & the Holy Spirit pop people into your mind all the time. Include “small” things, like the checkout person you smiled at, or the waitress that you gave an extra tip to, the elderly person you held the door for, etc. It can include people who have already gone to heaven, like grandparents. They are very glad that you exist!
Here is this week’s downloadable blessing:
Extra blessings from previous classes:
The terrain of your heart is providing the emotional soundtrack to everything in your life. It can affect your decisions, relationships, and faith. It can make the difference between hope and despair.
This week’s powerpoint:
Spirit Prompts: Bless Prophet to be filled with the knowledge that God created Prophet specifically to have certain special attributes. Ask the Lord to saturate Prophet with the knowledge that God was always there, and that Prophet has never been abandoned or forsaken. Bless Prophet to be filled up with the security of God’s love and favor, and to release that knowledge into the rest of the spirit.
I pray that God, who gives peace, will make you completely holy. And may your spirit, soul, and body be kept healthy and faultless until our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
-I Thess 5:23
