23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
Amplified Bible Chapter 4
23 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life
New Living Translation (Chapter 4)
23 Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.
If someone were to say, hey talk to me about dating and marriage, this would not be the first scripture I turn too, yet this is where the spirit led my wife to start. and as I read it, I was in complete agreeance.
The question becomes, how do you guard your heart?
well first what is it to guard? To secure against injury, loss or attack; to protect; to defend; to keep in safety.
We guard our hearts by protecting and defending the words try to enter.
anything that can reach your heart will be what grows forth into the scene you live through.
28 Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls.
This shows a person who did not guard their heart.
“I Just had to hit up my sneaky link” that means you had no self control and therefore anything can enter spirits, lust, children out wedlock, STD
At this point you don’t get to decide what happens in your life. the enemy will have free access to your heart because you have no guard
You have to watch the words that enter your heart. via the senses
All input we receive from our senses are interpreted to words from our soul and deposited to the heart

And his clothes not be burned?
9 How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
10 With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
11 Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.
The New King James Version Chapter 5
11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.
You have to watch your fellowship!
New Living Translation Psalm 119
14 I have rejoiced in your laws
as much as in riches.
find someone that values the same treasure.
the treasure I saw in Candace was not her beauty, not her body, not her status, it was her love for God and her actions that backed it up! treasure something that cant change, that’s His Word
The Word of God is meant to be lived and just read
