[Sermon Note] Developing the Hidden Man of the Heart

1 Peter 3:3-4

Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

Inside the heart of hidden man

We are safe and protected by all kinds of harm in the heart of God

Today we are looking at the word heart

1 Samuel 16:7 KJV

But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

God looks at our heart

Before we are born again, our heart is wicked

Jeremiah 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Jeremiah 31:33

But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;

After those days, saith the LORD,

I will put my law in their inward parts,

and write it in their hearts;

and will be their God,

and they shall be my people.

People had to look at the law and follow the law before Christ died for us.

Heart spirit soul and body connect

We can now serve God, ℓσνє God, fellowship with God from our heart

We will desire the same desire of God in the new creation

Ezekiel 36:26

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

HEART

Inner man

The middle part

The midst of spirit soul and body

This heart is the centre of our whole being.

A new spirit and a renewed heart

Spirit is like the wind. The wind blow we can’t see but we can see the effect of wind

Spirit is the breath of heaven

Inside this spirit has courage, patience. The spirit will depart at death and go to heaven to be with Jesus forever

Spirit is eternal.

Energy of life

Within our Body-

Spirit

Soul

Spirit and soul is inside this body

Heart

The main part related to the inner life is neither the spirit nor the soul but the HEART.

The heart links and connects our soul

The relationship between us and God does not depend primarily on our spirit or our soul but on our heart

The heart is neither the spirit nor the soul, nor is it separate from the spirit or the soul.

The heart is a composition of the 3 parts of the soul and one of the functions of the spirit: the MIND, WILL and EMOTION plus the CONSCIENCE.

The heart is almost a composition of the spirit and the soul, but not exactly.

We start our relationship with God first from the heart.

The heart controls these things, so the heart is the guard to the being.

Romans 10:10

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Is the heart that believes

The heart now can believe

When we believe Jesus the Son of God who died for us, we believe with our heart

The spirit becomes born again

Kardia – heart

The heart also can think

The heart has thoughts and passion

The heart is where the passion, desires, appetites, affections

When we say we ℓσνє food, people, it is from our hearts

The seat of the intelligence is from our heart

Is the link between the spirit, the new born again.

The HEART is like an Entrance to fellowship with God

To enter into a building, we need to go through an entrance

For God to get into us, He first go through our hearts

Once the heart believes, it is like an entrance

Now God can come into our whole being

Ezekiel 36:26

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

At our conversion, He gave us a new heart

Before He can touch our spirit, He touches our hearts first

God deals with the heart

God deals with the mind

The heart- 4 parts: the mind, will, emotion, and conscience.

Matthew 4:17

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Repentance – change of mind

Changing the mind from sinner to Jesus has come, and He made me a son in Christ. No more worthless

At the point of receiving the Lord, the first thing is to repent.

Change this mind

When we ask someone if he or she wanna receive Jesus, it is important to share the gospel

2 Corinthians 4:4

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

The god of this age has blinded not the will, emotion, or conscience but the thoughts, the mind

The devil blinded the people mind

The blinding starts from mind

2 Corinthians 4:5

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

The whole conversion starts from mind

Conversion is not about saying the sinners prayers

The person has to believe from the heart

Conversion only God knows.

No one can see. Only God can see the heart. The inward

The Lord can touch the heart

The connection to the mind and the spirit

The light goes into the heart

2 Corinthians 4:6

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Example

Camera

Lens – mind

Film – heart

The object person before the camera – Christ

Light – God

The light from the figure (Christ) comes to the film (our heart) first through the lens (our mind)

Cover over the lens – satan

The satan needs to be removed. He lies to the mind.

The power is in the gospel

The one who removed cover from the lens is gospel

The light goes into our film which is the heart

The moment you believe, righteousness is imparted into you

The new spirit becomes born again

Now you can fellowship with God

There is a part of the heart

How we respond how we relate to man

This heart can make decision

This heart activate all the affections, compassions. We make decision from this heart which is the link to the spirit and the soul

Luke 6:45

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Between the spirit and the soul is the heart

The treasure will come out from this heart. From the passion. From the affection

The good man – the spirit

Treasure of the heart

Link the spirit with the soul and we can express ourselves

The heart is part of the spirit man but not fully

Conscience is part of the heart

ℓσνє needs to be expressed

Express from the heart

Everything deposited into the new spirit man will flow out through the heart

Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart with all diligence,

For out of it spring the issues of life.

A spring !

There is something we need to really guard is our hearts

Issues – flow out

Good things inside, will flow out good

Flow life

Whatever comes out is life

Guard our affection

Guard our desires

God sees David as man after His heart

That time they did not have a new spirit. But they had hearts. God sees their hearts

God looked into their hearts and chose them

David took care of God’s creation sheep

He fought with the lion to protect the sheep

The heart is desire and passion of God

Now we can have compassion

Before we are born again, our compassion is low

Romans 5:5

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

The life of Jesus

Chay – means green, flowing, new life

Zoe life that God gives us in Christ Jesus

Water us refreshes us

Full of life

Proverbs 4:23 MSG

Keep vigilant watch over your heart;

that’s where life starts.

this is where life starts

Proverbs 4:23 TPT

So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are.

Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life.

Worship – kissing Jesus

He loves us the most in this life

No one would ℓσνє us like Jesus

He is the Only One who never leave us nor forsake us

Guard your heart

Protect your heart

Feed our spirit

Take care and don’t let our heart affected

The spirit man is hidden inside this heart

The life of God

Wellspring of life

Jesus came and take away our sins

When you speak you ℓσνє them from the heart

Jesus has soft heart but not run down by people.

The peaceful and the quiet meek spirit

The spirit the heart the soul and the mind

Everything God has, will flow from His heart to ours

The meek and gentle spirit

We are drawn to Jesus bedside of His spirit
