The LORD says, “Tend your heart like a Garden.

Keep it weeded and in good order.

Make it beautiful, a place I delight to walk in with you.

Keep out anything that will distract you from Me.

Cultivate the soil of your heart that when I sow the seed of My Word into your life, you may bear much fruit for Me, fruit that will last.

You will reap a harvest thirty, sixty, a hundredfold of what was sown.

Your harvest will be an offering, holy and pleasing to Me.”

Please see related Scripture: Matthew 13:23, Proverbs 4:23, John 15:16, Romans 12:1, Matthew 12:43-45

Please also see the previous HKP Word, “Examine Yourselves: There are Tares Among the Wheat“

I have noticed how several of the Words I have been given, refer to dealing with these weeds of sin that germinate from seed. They start small as tiny seedlings, but grow fast if left unchecked.

They’re not the usual messages about glaringly obvious sinfulness and immorality either.

It’s seemingly “less serious” things, like gloating and self-congratulations when prophecies come to pass, instead of mourning with the tender heart of The LORD who wept for the Jerusalem that bayed for His blood;

• ignoring the log in our eye but complaining about the speck in others’ eyes, which is hypocrisy;
• being so devoted to a cause we ignore what’s wrong with it, which is hypocrisy and idolatry as well;
• prejudice concealed as justified concern, which is hatred and deception;
• valuing our own worldview and opinion over God’s, which is pride and idolatry;
• being controlling and praying prayers to bend situations and people to your will, which is witchcraft;
• saying we’re doing something for God that is actually more about our own will, which is witchcraft and deception;
• speaking and gossiping and complaining, adding to the seemingly unending stream of needless words, commentary and speculation that is the lifeblood of ALL media outlets instead of speaking truth and life or being silent and still before God, which is disobedience as well as most of the sins already mentioned.

The list goes on……

What’s especially interesting is how much of this grows out of a desire to do God’s Will, to bring Him Glory and change society for the better, yet along the way those good intentions are distorted and go against His Will.

The spirit is willing but the flesh isn’t just weak, it willfully decides to “go off on a tangent” by itself and “mortgages its house and business” to “purchase a super-yacht” that it then tires of and “abandons it to pirates”.
