Keeping the Heart | John Flavel | Christian Audiobook

~ Audiobook Description ~
The heart of man is his worst part before it is regenerated, and the best part afterward. It is the seat of principles, and the fountain of actions.
The greatest difficulty in conversion is to win the heart to God. The greatest difficulty after conversion is to keep the heart with God. Direction and help in this great work are the scope of the text wherein we have:
* An exhortation: Keep thy heart with all diligence.
* The reason or motive enforcing it: For out of it are the issues of life.
In the exhortation we'll consider:
* The matter of the duty.
* The manner of performing it.
For out of it [the heart] are the issues of life. In other words, the heart is the source of all vital operations; it is the origin of both good and evil, just as the spring in a watch that sets all the wheels in motion. The heart is the treasury, the hand and tongue are but the shops. The heart contrives, and the members execute: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh (Luke 6:45).

To guard your heart...now I have a deeper understanding of what that entails. Thank you so much!

You are very welcome. May the Lord be praised!

[@bkp1283]

Life is Hard. Keep the hart with GOD . stay on the narrow gate. Its not an easy road. But our savior is with us.

[@jeremiahzeiset]

You're right, keeping our heart right is not always easy. There are so many distractions and enemies. But, it is worth it. Like you said, the savior is with us. Who can be against us if He is for us!

[@anthonystroman8407]

Besides the Bible says that the way of the transgression is hard.

[@ronnywhite5602]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Aneko Press. I have been in constant physical, debilitating pain for 34 years. Unrelenting physical pain keeps me drained emotionally and mentally. In addition, life brings daily struggles. Sermons and books to help Christians cope with constant pain are almost non-existient. Christians rally around us initially, but if we are not healed, they drift away. A preacher came to my house and prayed for me to be healed and told me that God could not get glory out of my life unless I was healed!! WHAT???? Even in my pain God is conforming me into His image. Did the preacher not understand that? I know God loves me and I cling to Him. The pain I've been through brings me closer to Him. I've memorized hundreds of scriptures. When we're sick and hurting, our minds become a battlefield for satan. Struggling to remain close to God doesn't just come naturally when our defenses are drained. We must renew out tired, exhausted minds everyday. It's wonderful to have this anointed audio reading to come along side me for encouragement and as a validation for what I already know from private study of the scripture. By the way, I'm 72 years old. It will not be many years before I see Jesus face to face. Many times a day I remind myself that, and as a child of God, the best is yet to come....that's not a defense mechanism...it's reality!! Again, Ameko Press, you will never know the blessing your books are!!

[@Anekopress]

Thank you for your comment, Ronny. It sounds like you have the right perspective regarding giving God the glory and praise He deserves, no matter what we may experience here on earth. I trust you will be more than sufficiently rewarded for your faith in heaven, as well as here on earth. For us, it is a blessing knowing that our work is for the comfort and encouragement of our fellow believers in Christ. Keep looking to Him!

Mother of sorrows 👑 Pray for us 🙏 Let the joy of God be within your heart(s) forever and always- Amen☝️✝️🙏

[@jeremiahzeiset]

@@lhetzel101 According to scripture, we should pray ourselves, in faith, rather than asking the deceased to pray for us.

Here on you tube is two sermons “The real gospel” by dan mohler and “Manifesting Christ” by curry blake ….i’m a first response chaplain and a minister throughout prisons and rv parks…and “where ever” now that i think about it!I believe you would enjoy hearing both of those men discuss their journey with the Lord,it is many years of hard core trials and pain that lead to these talks!Gnight,in brother love from Bastrop,Tx Brent

[@ZennyReacts]

Inspiring testimony Ronny. May God bless and keep you in the name of Jesus Christ

[@mrsh2610]

That was so wonderful. Thank you so much for these books in audio. I am a busy mother of little ones, and I cannot sit down to read a book very often, but I can listen to books as I fold the laundry and some other duties during certain times of the day. Just such a sweet blessing from the Lord. Thank you all who are involved, for your labor unto the Lord, very much appreciated.

[@Anekopress]

So glad these audiobooks are a blessing to you. May the Lord be praised!

Im amazed at the people who listens to so many Christian Audiobooks. Do you know Much is given Much is required. The more knowledge you know concerning Gods word the more you will be required to live it. Thats why when we all face God with all the knowledge there is today just on youtube there will be no excuse for our ignorance on the day of Judgment. If youre not going to live what you know concerning Gods word you would be better off not to know it.

[@richardsnodgrass66]

I am obsessed

[@richardsnodgrass66]

I am obsessed with knowing God Jesus and the holy Spirit and I want to know all of him both now and all eternity

[@CharlesOmar]

Choosing not to know the truth so you can go on sinning is not the answer. For living a sinful life is evidence of a lack of growth and lack of the Holy Spirit. A heart that seeks God grows in wisdom.

[@remyfanggidae3277]

On the other hand, Hosea 4: 6 says that the people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..

Please explain these verses. Isaiah 7:14 Isaiah 9:6 Isaiah 11:2 Isaiah 29:18 Psalm 22:6 Zechariah 12:10 Zechariah 10:4 Psalm 16:8 These are just a few of the more than 100 prophetic verses in the Old Testament written about Jesus Christ and think about it why would we lie about it knowing God would hold us accountable?
