HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHECK THE CONDITION OF YOUR HEART IN REGARD TO THE THINGS OF GOD?
HERE ARE 3 IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF TO MAKE SURE YOU’RE DOING ALL YOU CAN TO KEEP YOUR HEART PURE:
1.
WHAT ARE MY READING & HEARING THE WORD OF GOD HABITS?
Limiting our intake of worldly wisdom is important for keeping our hearts clean. The Word of God ideally should be the bulk of what we are meditating on, but in order for that to happen it has to be the bulk of what we are consuming.

2.
AM I PRAYING ENOUGH?
Having an active daily PRAYER LIFE (an individual's private practice of prayer) is an effective way to maintain a heart free from evil. Incorporate prayer into our daily routine by doing it whenever we have moments of quiet or downtime.

3.
AM I STILL DOING ANY OF THE THINGS THAT DEFILE ME?
Coming to the conclusion or resolution not to defile yourself is one of the best decisions you could make in your journey to having a heart that pleases God. Our decision to live a life that is pleasing to God will always be a key factor in us not doing the things that we should not do. To stick with this decision we must also decide to be led by the Spirit so that we will not fulfill the desires of our flesh (or heart.
