5 Divine Agreements: Keeping Your Heart Pure in a Dark World 🏀✝️
1. The World's Game Plan 🌎
The world is set up for you to idolize and treasure this world. It will do all it can to finesse you into losing your pivot and developing a heart that is full and motivated by the world and not God.
When you stand on business and don't conform to the cultures and customs of this world, you become an enemy of the world, and the world will come for you - attempt to distract you, cancel you, bury you, isolate you and shame you.
2. Choose Your Light 💡
When you let the world influence you to chase its treasures (money, fame, clout, fitting in), you fill yourself with darkness. When that occurs, the Holy Spirit - light cannot enter and guide you, comfort you, speak to you and heal you from the heart break that this dark world is guaranteed to provide.
3. One Team Only 🙏
You gotta pick a side - You can't worship the True God while enslaved to the god of money, fame, popularity, being liked, being exalted and worshipped, or whatever your god of choice is.
4. Full Surrender 🔑
To see beyond this world's darkness and recognize His light, you must give God your whole heart - no holding back.
5. Spirit vs. Flesh 💪
When your flesh takes over, it will lead you to crave and desire things that lead to darkness.
Scripture Gems 📖
Matthew 6:21-23 (TPT) "For your heart will always pursue what you esteem as your treasure. The eyes of your spirit allow revelation-light to enter into your being. If your heart is unclouded, the light floods in! But if your eyes are focused on money, the light cannot penetrate and darkness takes its place. How profound will be the darkness within you if the light of truth cannot enter!"
Proverbs 8:5 "Listen to me and you will be prudent and wise. For even the foolish and wise and feeble can receive an understanding heart that will change their inner-being."
Matthew 5:8 "What bliss you experience when your heart is pure! For your eyes will open and see more of God!"
Matthew 5:8 (MSG) "You are blessed when you get your inside world - your mind and your heart - put right. Then you can see God in the outside world."
Matthew 13:11-15 (MSG) "You've been given insight into God's kingdom. You know how it works. Not everybody has this gift, this insight; it hasn't been given to them. Whenever someone has a ready heart for this, the insights and understandings flow freely. But if there is no readiness, any trace of receptivity soon disappears."
Matthew 13:15-17 (MSG) "I don't want Isaiah's forecast repeated all over again: Your ears are open but you don't hear a thing. Your eyes are awake but you don't see a thing. The people are stupid! They stick their fingers in their ears so they won't have to listen; They screw their eyes shut so they won't have to look, so they won't have to deal with me face-to-face and let me heal them.
But you have God-blessed eyes—eyes that see! And God-blessed ears—ears that hear! A lot of people, prophets and humble believers among them, would have given anything to see what you are seeing, to hear what you are hearing, but never had the chance."
John 8:12 "I am the light of the world whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life."
