God Look Within The Heart Analysis
God looks within the heart because He is looking for men fit to be kings in His Kingdom. God does not care what you look like on the outside, and most people would agree. You can be the most beautiful person on the outside and the most rotten on the inside. Looking good on the outside is not what matters, but what is going on the inside does matter. God wants to know what is at the center of your being, your heart. God is looking for a heart that possesses wisdom, knowledge, love, obedience, and a heart that is loyal and tender to Him.
When God looks at our heart and that is what we will be judged on. Then it is there too we must look when we are looking upon our brethren. We must not judge our brethren that can only come from God. We must

He loves us for no other reason than He is love. He created us to have a relationship with Him, to be intimate with Him. But sometimes we can find our hearts going astray, taking a wrong direction in our lives, and away from His Love. And all the while we go through the circumstances trying to find the answers and we find ourselves trying to find His love again. He doesn’t walk away, we walk away. God’s love for mankind is intended to transform man’s natural state of being to a spiritual state of being so that He can restore our relationship with …show more content…
He will chip away at our hearts and take away what is not of Him. In this process our hearts will began to change and have the right attitude. We will eventually through our brokenness be brought to repentance, beginning to be more submissive to God, and finding our answers to get out of our brokenness. If we become stubborn and rebellious when we are in a circumstance or situations we are not as submissive to God and we will find it a lot harder to find our answers that we need to get out of those circumstances or situations.
In any circumstance we must open up our hearts to God. The minute a circumstance arises we must allow for God to search our hearts, circumcise it and cleanse it out because we all know that only the pure in heart can see God. We must be held accountable for what we hold in our heart good or bad and upon submission allow for God to put in there what He wants and to take out what is not of Him. We must allow for God to come in and restore what needs to be restored. We should never be resistant in doing

    The Bondage Breaker written by Neil T. Anderson is about reaching spiritual freedom by overcoming negative thoughts, irrational feelings, and habitual sins. Each section allows the reader to start their journey towards freedom through the sins that are covering their lives. Many people have faulty perceptions of bondage and what keeps Christians in that bondage. Anderson (2007) takes the stand on having integration of psychology and spirituality. “There is no inner conflict which is not psychological, because there is never a time when your mind, emotions, and will are not involved” (Anderson, 2000, p. 21). One of the steps Anderson discusses is knowing that a person has the right to be free. Changing your emotions and thoughts to the truth of God is needed in order to break the bondage of sin. A person should know that they are a child of God and a friend of Christ (Anderson, 2000). He will allow us to break through if we can win the battle of our mind from Satan by focusing on Romans 12:1-2, which states, “do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Renewing your mind and relying on God can be done through continuous prayer. “Prayer is the primary weapon in combating spiritual blindness” (Anderson, 2000, p. 103).…

    Christians should not give into the world when times get tough or reject the true God like Mr. By-Ends and his friends in Pilgrim’s Progress did. Believers that are non-devoted and fall into the worldly ways were never fully saved in the first place. If a Christian truly puts their faith in Christ, then they would want to change. When a believer gets saved God casts a more aware conviction on your conscience. Many Christians believe that if they repent once when you convert than they are good to go, sadly this theory is indeed wrong. Repentance is an ongoing task for a believer’s life, which God gifted us with through free grace. The beloved book Westminster Confession of Faith stats “The act of God’s free grace in Christ; yet it is of such necessity to all sinners, that none may except pardon without it.” (Chap. XV Sect. 3). All humans are born with this sinful nature, which we cannot escape unless we repent to God. It is very important to note that emotional breakdowns are not repentance. Repentance is motivation by conviction to turn away from sin. If you keep rejecting the motivation by conviction that God gives you, you will become hard hearted. Since the dawn of time Christians have hated the way guilt feels from God, most of the time they will quit believing the Truth because of this. In Pilgrim’s Progress Hope talks about the dangers of this type of backsliding saying “Guilt, and to meditate Terror, are grievous to them; they like not to see their misery before they come into it…” (Pg.…

    In the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Hurston utilizes the theme of nature not only for the means of symbolism or imagery, but in order to convey Janie’s developing perception of the world around her. In the beginning of the story, Janie seems to illustrate the mindset of a typical young girl who withholds dreams pertaining to love and marriage, still untouched from the harsh realities that are integrated amongst the various gifts of life. Throughout the story, Hurston uses the different depictions of nature to convey the convergence of the beauty of life’s fairing with the anguish that stems from the death and destruction it brings, in order to portray how this mergence allowed Janie to completely transform from a naïve girl dreaming of love, to a woman who understands the importance of her own self worth.…

    I often feel like Paul when he wrote in Romans 7:15 “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do”. I feel that I wake with the best intentions every day to do well, and please God. Yet, it doesn’t take long before I catch myself thinking or doing something that conflict with my intentions. In particular there is a relationship that conflicts with my beliefs. I spent a number of years justifying why I needed this friendship. Essentially, I was attempting to reduce my dissonance. I was lonely, no one appreciated me, and I convinced myself that this person did appreciate me. After a few years my eyes began to open about this individual, God removed the blinders from eyes and I really began to see who they were. The relationship with this person does not bring anything good into my world, and mostly I feel uncomfortable about it. Yet although I have tried to distance myself from this unhealthy person, I usually find myself being pulled back in. This in turn makes me feel bad about myself. There is an internal battle that I am fighting every day and I do find myself finding ways to justify, or explain why I can’t completely cut this person out of my life. Therefore attempting to create a way to rationalize the way I feel, and to ultimately feel better about myself. I am attempting to reduce dissonance by reducing my contact with this individual. I have realized…

    It is through our knowledge and revelation of God that we find out who He is and what He expects of each of us. In scripture we find God revealing himself to us. We find that our disobedience separates us from God, makes us afraid of God, make us want distance between us and God. But God who desires fellowship always reaches out to humanity. The Bible has plenty of examples that speak to this fact such as, "Your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear" (Isaiah 59:2).…

    The approach to spiritual discernment that I most closely relate to is the Practitioners of the Relationship-Formation Approach. The factors listed are the fundamental elements that I rely on for practically every decision. I believe that God gives us wisdom. The scriptures tell us to ask for wisdom and He will give it to us. It has been my personal experience that when I have taken the time to ask God for wisdom and waited on Him, He has directed my path. When I have done that, I have also received an inner sense of peace. I believe that the ultimate guide for us to follow as Christians is to parallel his character and ethics. It is my opinion that too many of us rely on factors that detract us from what God purposed for us, like how we should look or appear or what pleases others. Not judging the consistency of our decisions with the character of Christ opens the door to hypocrisy. I personally give my best effort to not be hypocritical. The two other decision making factors that are very important to me are considering the natural gifts and talents that God gave me and acknowledging how those gifts correlate with the needs of those around me. We are called to love God, love one another and serve the world.…

    Each and every one of us, whether it is strong or weak, has some type of relationship with the body of Christ. This is because each one of us has some type of relationship with God. What is very important is to make that relationship stronger. God created each and every one of us in his image. God has a plan for each and every one of us. No matter what, God is always there for us until the end of time, so we do not want to disappoint him. Some ways in which we can strengthen our relationship with God are to go to Church every Sunday, "talk" with him more often. I know myself, that it isn 't always easy to find time to fit God into our busy schedules. For me, I go to the youth group at my church as often as I can and every night right before I fall to sleep, I pray to God, thanking him for the things that I have and asking for guidance. Even though God doesn 't talk back to us in words per say, he talks back to us through things that he does. Remember, actions speak louder than words. If we pray and believe that we are a good person, but go out and murder people, which speaks louder, the praying, or…
