Let me tell you something, our enemy wants to take every bit of what has been stored up by our fathers and mothers in the faith.

Everything.

And the more we show it off and take credit for it, the more we are set up for captivity.

We are living in a day when we are seeing one occasion after another of exploiting God to give ourselves credit. Here's what we're learning.

I'm asking you to have open Luke chapter 6 verse 45.

I want to read it to you again.

A good person. Now remember from our previous

lesson what we're talking about when we say good, it is that which emanates from God. It is that

which is reflective of God. God is the one in whom all goodness resides. He is goodness.

And so whatever is good in gospel terms means it is drawn or it is in

the image reflective of God. A good person produces good out of the good stored up in his heart.

In other words, our hearts will always be productive. Does anybody get that with me? Always, you have a productive

heart. I have a productive heart. The question becomes, what is my heart producing? Because my heart

is productive. Is everybody on that page? And so a good person produces good out of the good

stored up in his heart. An evil person produces evil out of the good stored up in his heart. An evil person produces evil

out of the evil stored up in his heart, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

Our state of mind, which is involved in this whole idea of the heart, because as a man thinks

in his heart, so is he. So it's a thinking heart because it's representing everything

that is in our inner man that rationalizes, that praises, that worships, that perceives, that learns,

that feels all of those things, the base of our personality, all of those things, that our state

of mind is a direct result of our store in heart.

Our state of mind is a direct result of our store in heart.
