LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY FRIEND

Nothing quite grips your heart like a letter from a friend who’s been confronted with a tragic report.

That’s exactly what happened to my wife and myself when we received a letter from our friend, Bev. In reading the letter, we discovered our friend had contracted cancer, and she was asking for funding to help in her fight. She had elected to enter her battle naturally, but the facilities were expensive. After my wife prayed, we agreed to help her in her quest financially.

Some time went by and it “hit” me that a key to Bev’s recovery was the missing ingredient I call “heart beliefs”.

According to the writer of Proverbs, “Above all else, guard your heart for out of it comes the issues of life.”

This verse says “above all else…”

Born again, spirit-filled believer, I can’t tell you anything more important than this…above all else.

The single most important thing is to guard and protect your heart. You must protect what gets into your heart. Why? Because what you believe in your heart determines the “issues” in your life. This word “issues” in Hebrew means “outgoings, outcomes, or boundaries”. The boundaries of your life are determined by your heart beliefs. Your boundaries are not the results of your race, education, what your Momma or Daddy said, or what side of the tracks you were born on…unless they get into your heart.

Your heart beliefs are either established by default or created on purpose. Heart beliefs are the result of impactful information + emotion + repetition.

So, what do I mean by default? Let’s go through an example. Perhaps, a significant person in your life yells at you and declares, “You’ll never amount to anything!” The occurrence solicits so much emotion that you “receive” it as “true”. That’s where the impact on your heart starts. Once that occurs, your reticular activating system (recognition system) in your brain begins to look for experiences to reinforce this “truth”. These similar situations reinforce this “truth” in your life until it becomes a heart belief.

The truth is that you’ll never rise above the image you have of yourself in your heart. You have some momentary breakthrough, but usually not to the dimension of a significant, perpetual breakthrough.

That being true, you can also target and create new heart beliefs on purpose.

It’s the same formula: impactful information + emotion + repetition = heart beliefs.

I realized this was Bev’s key to her healing.

I sent her a Barrier Buster’s CD on healing. Its design is to create impactful information + emotion + repetition. Most psychologists will tell you to create new habits or beliefs takes at least 21 days (Maxwell Waite) and possibly 30, 60, or 90 days depending on certain circumstances.

Biblical meditation is the key to this. If you can meditate on your desired belief using the keys below over a period of time, it will create new neural pathways in your brain and new heart beliefs as a result.

To create new neural pathways in your brain through Biblical meditation, here are some keys:

• Frequency – meditate day and night as established in Joshua 1:8
• Duration – meditate from several seconds to several minutes
• Vividness – meditate on a clear and detailed image
• Intensity – meditate on the emotion as if it were already happening

The Barrier Buster CD is geared to do this, so I put it in Bev’s hands. She responded to me several times to tell me how much she was enjoying them, and that she was listening to them 2-3 times per day.

About two months later, I was teaching at a small conference and I looked out to see her sitting in the audience. I stopped mid-sentence and exclaimed, “Bev, what are you doing here?”

She proclaimed, “I left a doctor recently, who declared me cancer-free, and I just wanted to tell everyone here that it’s not only true, but it works.”

The answer to Bev’s sickness was heart beliefs. She changed her heart beliefs and literally changed her life.

Whatever your struggle, your answer starts with heart beliefs.
