2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.<\/p>\n

Welcome to part 5 of this series. We hope you\u2019re enjoying it so far.<\/p>\n

As we are learning how to guard our hearts, we have talked about wolves in sheep\u2019s clothing, testing the spirits, false teachers, studying God\u2019s word, and more.<\/p>\n

Today, let\u2019s touch a bit more on studying God\u2019s word, and then we will move on to a couple other things.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s word gives us everything we need.<\/p>\n

It teaches us how to understand God, how to recognize various kinds of spirits, how to do warfare against those spirits and how to discern different spirits.<\/p>\n

Without discernment, we will not be able to recognize false teachings.<\/p>\n

Discernment comes by way of God\u2019s word, the Holy Spirit and our willingness to hear God\u2019s Spirit as He speaks and reveals things to us.<\/p>\n

This brings us to our next topic; Prayer.<\/p>\n

Prayer is also a big part of guarding our hearts.<\/p>\n

It is through prayer that we hear God more clearly. This is why it\u2019s important for us to understand that prayer is not just about us taking our needs to God. It is also about us listening for His voice.<\/p>\n

If we are listening for His voice, He will reveal things to us that we might not otherwise see or understand. These things often won\u2019t just be what God\u2019s word has already told us or shown us.<\/p>\n

Because God\u2019s Spirit is alive, He will frequently reveal things to us that are current, not just things in the past that God\u2019s word has taught us.<\/p>\n

These things will never contradict God\u2019s word but will reinforce<\/em> it, even showing us how to apply it to current situations or circumstances. And by doing this, we learn what it is that God is showing us to guard our hearts from.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s wrap this up tomorrow.<\/p>\n
