Guard your Heart

Day 348- Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life- Proverbs 4:23 In the book of Jeremiah, we are told that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Who can know it but God? The revelation around this is the heart is a faulty mechanism and God says we don't even know our own heart...only Him.

The realization that we don't know our own hearts has been very profound for me. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to speak into the life of a young woman and advised her to guard her heart. She really didn't understand and with much compassion I attempted to enlighten her on its meaning.

Today, I came face to face with the fact that “guard your heart” shows up even in some of our business relationships. Because we women are emotional creatures sometimes our feelings get in the way in business. Allowing emotions to overrule sound business judgment can leave you feeling like a victim. Yet, people can only do what you allow them to do to you.

We had a great strategic planning meeting today with the Board of Directors and staff of Positive Growth. It was the culmination of many weeks of thoughtful dialogue and vision for the next three years. I'm truly blessed to be able to serve along side the Founder, Joseph Arnold and his wonderful wife Rose.

When you are close to walking into your destiny everything imaginable will try to come against you. Most of the time you’ll find it comes from those closest to you. I choose to take authority and declare my season of frustration and failure is over. I now walk in a season of success and prosperity. Old things have passed away; all things have become new.

Anything or anyone assigned to undermine, frustrate, hinder, or hurt me, I command to be moved out of my sphere of influence in Jesus’ name.

I have a fresh excitement, a fresh mind, and a fresh anointing that is uncontaminated and uncompromised.
