DAY 37:

“The Condition of Your Heart Determines Your Perception!

God teaches everyone about the Kingdom, but He seals the revelation in parables from those that do not have the right heart, so they do not understand what He is saying. They have eyes, but can’t see.. their hearts make them blind to God. 

“Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not,” (Jeremiah 5:21).

Jesus does not waste His time with hardhearted people. He does not give mysteries or cast pearls before arrogant and religious people, who will turn around and fight Him, like the religious leaders did during His earthly ministry.

“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you,” (Matthew 7:6).

I was always shocked when people that I taught and ministered to for years, would suddenly betray and walk away, until the day the Lord revealed to me that their hearts were hardened from the beginning. Hardhearted people always question the process.. “I just don’t understand this…” “I’m struggling with that…” “I need to repent for attacking you in this area..” These people betray when personal correction takes place. I saw this happen with a young man who followed my ministry for 3 years. He despised the process that God was taking him through, betrayed, and lost everything that God blessed him with, through my life and ministry. 

It is very sad to see people who are too arrogant to see the condition and perception of the evil in their heart. Religion can’t circumcise your heart, in fact, many times it adds to its hardness. Fully surrendering your heart to God is the only way for Him to circumcise it!! We must diligently work on our hearts, otherwise, we forfeit our faith and break rank with the Lord..!”
