The human heart is a delicate control center. Thoughts, words, and actions derive from the heart. Chaos can ensue or peace can rule in the seat of our hearts. Whether a life is led by peace or controlled by destruction, the path is ultimately determined by which authority one submits unto. The false reality is that people often try to convince themselves that they are completely independent, and everything they do is a result of their own will power. The truth is that we are influenced every single moment, from very simple tasks to meditated thoughts. Influence will either come from above or below, and the fruit that is produced from the heart will determine who has the seat of your heart. So, the questions remain: Who do you need to kick out? Who do you need to inv1.ite in? A demonic/fleshly presence will do nothing but cause chaos, problems, confusion, and sin that leads to death. This will not only affect you from within, but everything else that you associate with outside of yourself. The presence of the Holy Spirit will bring power, life, joy, peace, and so much more. Even if everything that is happening around you may be chaos, you can still have that inner peace because of the Holy Spirit who has taken residence within your heart. Protect your heart at all cost, for even the whole entire world was once destroyed because of the heart of man.

“Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So, the LORD said “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.””- Genesis 6:5-7 (NKJV)

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”-Galatians 5:22-23(NKJV)
“Then I will give them one heart, and I Iwill put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgements and do them; and they shall be My people and I will be their God.”- Ezekiel 11:19-20 (NKJV
