HARDENED HEARTS

Dear One,

You will find hardened hearts where you find reliance upon religious laws rather than reliance upon My Spirit.
Religious hearts will be hardened to the plight of other people, always professing that others are sinful and deserve their troubled station in life. Mercy flies out the door when a religiously hardened heart enters a person.
A physical result happens also to the person with a religiously hardened heart. The person will eventually have clogged arteries because of the buildup of hard materials leading to the heart.
If you will keep yourself free from the false doctrine of justification by following religious laws, you will keep yourself from having a hardened heart and you will not have the physical, mental and spiritual results of it. There are always residual effects of the condition of a person's heart, either good or bad.
A hard heart is a Spirit-less-heart, one that has a loss of mercy and love for other people who do not follow certain religious laws. Very often the people who do not follow certain religious laws have more mercy and love than religious people.
Pride rules a hard heart, pride in one's own righteousness. A hard heart often spurs a stiff neck; ergo, stiff necked people.
Remember that mercy, goodness and kindness replaced judgment and condemnation when Jesus rose from the dead and sent My Holy Spirit to live in everyone who would receive Him.
The presence of mercy and love are the measurement of My presence in the life of a person.
Religious laws create judgment and condemnation.
My Spirit creates mercy and love in the life of a person.
Protect your heart, for out of it flows the issues of life.
Love, God
