BEWARE OF THE EVIL HEART!

RAINBOW: REMINDER OF GOD'S PROMISE



It is sad to say I can encounter
evil everywhere. Some of the 
T.V. shows spew evil actions and
words like it is no big deal. I do
know better, so I am selective. 
I avoid T.V. shows and books with witchcraft, sorcery, and excessive
violence.  All my Adversary needs 
is a crack in the door.

 The Bible also warns me not to
have an evil heart. Of course,
an evil heart leads to sin and 
evil actions. 

Here are some scriptures that
I studied about this subject:

 

LIFE LESSON: 

 AVOID AN EVIL HEART: SEEK THE LORD

GENESIS  6:5

Then the Lord saw that the wickedness 
of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

GENESIS  8:21

And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma.
Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will
never again curse the ground for man’s
sake, although the imagination of man’s
heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.

LEVITICUS  19:17

‘You shall not hate your brother in 
your heart. You shall surely rebuke 
your neighbor, and not bear sin 
because of him.

DEUTERONOMY 15:9


Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the Lord against you, and it become sin among you.
2 CHRONICLES 12:14



And he did evil, because he did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore ...

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now ...

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to u...
