You need a new heart if your feelings are not right. You really have to ask God to change your heart and to ask him to take those feelings away. There are some things that you don’t need to be liking.
Proverbs 8:13 – You know how people are based on their comfortableness with the world. Some people are o.k. when people cuss around them. When recently have you asked God to clean your heart out.
The true test is when someone gets angry and how they respond after that. Some people are more worried about being fake then asking God to change their heart so they don’t do things that are not consistent with the word. You should want to delight in the things that God wants you to delight in. You should ask God to change your heart to feel the way that you want me to feel.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. These are the people that will really be saved. People will actually admit that their heart is not right which is really problematic.
Proverbs 21:3-10 You have to be right and not just do church things. You can’t cover up sin. Verse 5- you got to think through things so be patient. Verse 7- someone who is wicked is like an unruly child- they just don’t want to do right. Verse 8- When someone is not doing right it does not make sense. Verse 9- You don’t want to be a brawling wife or contentious wife. Verse 10- You can’t trust people who think about themselves.
What kind of heart do you want to have?
