God's Word . . . Don't JUST think it, or memorize it, or do it . . . Put it into your whole being!​

​

You will probably ask, "How?!" Let's study this area of guarding your heart.

​

Proverbs 4:23 commands believers to "guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life," identifying the heart as the central source of spiritual and moral decision-making.  In the Bible, many refer to the "heart" as referring to the mind, will, and inner self.  So how do you know where that is and how to discern what is there? 

 

At LifeRegeneration we see the being as consisting of three main parts - the spirit, soul, and body.  Further we divide the soul into two parts - the mind and the heart (emotions). The "heart" is not your mind, or why would God tell us multiple times to believe with our whole mind and our whole heart; they are obviously two different things.  

 

The heart is the seat of your emotions, and your feelings will most likely reveal it, but it is revealed through your thoughts and actions, i.e. "from it flow the springs of life," i.e. it affects how you think and how you act and what you do. 

 

Guarding it involves protecting one's thoughts, motives, desires, and emotions from corrupting influences.  This is totally different from what some Christians wrongly assume requires stuffing your emotions so you can push forward the "right" actions.  

​

Practical application of this verse involves guarding thoughts, protecting influences, and dealing with your emotions and subconscious thoughts (versus just practicing self-control) to ensure that actions flow from a heart aligned with spiritual truth.  

 

This requires vigilance similar to ancient watchmen, using a Bible-trained conscience to identify and reject negative or sinful input.  Ah, conscience!  Another aspect to be aware of.

  • We have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. 

  • Studies in academia show these to be different and that the subconscious mind believes all that has been placed there.  What?!  Yes, even faulty information and imaginary information that has been put there, some true and some false. 

  • The subconscious mind will trump the conscious mind, which is where your "buttons" come from and they can be pushed even though you know in your mind that something makes no sense or is not true.  You react to what is there versus being able to respond appropriately many times.  Consider Paul when he said, 

 

"I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity . . . "  in other words . . . "For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing." - Romans 7:23f 

​​

Back to finding out how to GUARD YOUR HEART.  

 

At LifeRegeneration guarding your heart is one of the seven (7) basics we use where your perception and understanding will change your health for the better and allow you to override the defaults in this world.  Amazing but true!

​

- Your heart is the inner you, not just your speech or thoughts

- There is a battle going on for our hearts, so we must guard them.

- We must guard our heart daily – every single day!

 

HEART = the inner man

GUARD = to keep watch over

​

Peruse the page on this web site titled, "Whole Heart Whole Mind" on the main tab for the Jubilee Options Introduction.  

​

In making sure you know how to guard your heart, let's look at the Life Manual again, and consider these observations and warnings:

​

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?" - Jeremiah 17:9

​

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." - Proverbs 4:23 NIV

​

". . . the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:7

​

AND here is a huge point, right in our face!  Paul describes it perfectly:

​

"I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity . . . "  in other words . . . "For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing." - Romans 7:23f  ​

​

“And now, [your name] what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good?"
♡ Deuteronomy 10:12-13

Notice, that God does not require this for Him or His goals. He requires this FOR YOUR GOOD! 

​

At LifeRegeneration we teach you how to find and recognize heart issues that need to be dealt with by bringing them out of the subconscious into "the light" where you can recognize them and admit you have those traps, sins, weaknesses, negative things that have been driving your mind and also affecting your physical body.  Your part in, "guarding your heart," is to be willing to open yourself up to facing what is there in your heart.  

​

Why do I say this?  Because if you do not want to expose yourself to this process, then it will often not work.  It is shown that if a person goes to a medical doctor and doesn't believe that the doc can help them, guess what?  You got it, they will not respond as wanted to any treatment.  Chiropractors and other therapists will agree with this.  If you think something will not work, then it most likely won't.  Just two examples, read the, "Food for Thought," tab on the LifeRegeneration Home page.  What you believe affects you greatly!  

​

So, let's take a huge step and be open to making the heart shifts you find are needed by using the Jubilee Options Trapped Emotions Chart and some tools we teach to make it easier to spot areas you will want to release.  Go ahead, you can do it!  

​

AND be aware that a complete heart shift includes releasing the lies and replacing them with truth from the Jubilee Options Chart and even better from the Life Manual - The Bible.  ​​​​​

​

To add a Heart Shift:

 

  • Find a heart issue in the Trapped Emotions Chart either by just perusing it and using your intuition, or if uncertain, then use the kinesiology tool. 

  • In my office I use rounds of LRMT Tapping or roll a Nikken magna roller, rolling from the top of spine to the bottom, or from the forehead over your head to the base of your neck, 3 or more times - intention and focus are prime here.  If desired you can use prayer, releasing the issue to God.

  • rate any trapped/negative emotion between 1 and 10 (10 being intense)

  • breathe deep (4:6 ratio) and relax.  If you yawn, that's excellent.  

  • drink some water

  • rate again after LRMT and prayer and repeat if still above a 4

  • When the intensity comes down to a one or zero, choose a Jubilee Option and repeat the procedure until the intensity comes up to a 9 or 10.
