Hardness Of Heart

The Crisis: People who are in rebellion are not the only ones with hard hearts. The dictionary defines hard when it applies to matters of the heart as being “cold; insensitive; callous; unfeeling; unyielding.” This malady has stricken every Christian in some area of their life. This is what keeps us from hearing the voice of the Lord and being led by Him in our everyday lives.

The Cause: The condition of our hearts is determined by what we focus our attention on. It doesn’t matter what we know, it’s what we think on that controls whether our hearts are hard or soft (Proverbs 23:7) Once this is understood, this same law that will sensitize us towards God can be used to harden us towards the devil.

The Cure: The Cure for a hardened heart is a total commitment to keep our minds stayed on the Lord. This teaching will give you one of the clearest understandings of the relationship between faith and unbelief that you have ever had.
