Heart Sentinel: Cultivating Your Inner Garden

Lovely! Stand at attention! Your diligence in:

Guarding Your Heart

is required for you to fulfill your God given assignment. Promptly establish your security measures!

I am reminded of how when I moved into my new command center, The Billionaire Bubble. God quickly moved on me to establish:

Security Measures

It was on me so strong – nearly to the point of obsession! I let the spirit flow without quenching or unnecessary questioning -> I moved into action. Security measures that I never thought I would take were quickly established in my life.

This looked like:

Proverbs 91 scripture and prayers on my doors and windows
Outdoor Security Camera
Indoor Security Camera System
Weapons of various kinds
Security warning stickers & signage
Flashlights of various kinds

The above was secured to support my self defense training – I highly recommend you be trained as well so you can live empowered. All of this was done to protect what is important in the physical; myself, those under my mantle of protection, and my command center.

There is wisdom in protecting ourselves in the natural, but let us not forget to:

Guard Our Hearts

in the spiritual. Just like our home represents our heart in the physical, our inner being represents our heart in the spiritual. Let’s not be negligent!

In God’s Word, The Bible, it is written:

“Above all else, guard your heart, for it determines the course of your life.” Proverbs 4:23

We cannot just let anything into our realm, doing so is poor stewardship. All that we do springs out of our inner being, our heart, let’s protect it and keep it clean. Let’s prioritize allowing God’s Word to continually cleanse us. Our inner garden will flourish when it is nourished in God’s presence free of the muck and yuck that the world offers.

“I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.” John 15:5

Guard your heart by protecting what you allow in your personal world. Have healthy boundaries and protect all your consumption gates – regularly partnering with the Holy Spirit to remove the weeds that pop up.

“And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” Isaiah 58:11

Access these entry points for breaches:

What am I listening to? (music, podcasts, conversations)

What am I eating? (God’s Food or Processed Man Made Counterfeits)

What am I watching? (TV, movies, social media)

What am I doing with my hands? (actions, interactions)

What am I speaking? What am I consuming (food, drink, information)?

Set out to establish a creative, yet securely structured life, that brings God glory in each of those zones!

The gates of hell shall not prevail with your security detail in place.

“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16: 18-19
