6th Day: Yes sir, heart!

The Holy Scriptures were written by forty people, some of whom were kings, princes, poets, philosophers, prophets, statesmen, a doctor, a tax collector and a lawyer.

They were all from different social classes, and while some had received the best education of that time, others were uneducated fishermen.

The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, with a few passages in Aramaic. The New Testament was originally written in Greek, which was the common language of that age.

The Bible had various authors from different social classes with different levels of education who lived at different times in history—the entire Bible was written over a period of approximately 1600 years, between 1500 BC and 100 AD—and yet it does not contradict itself at any time. This is because it has only One Author, One Mind and One Spirit of God, who inspired His authors and servants.

The Bible is God speaking to the human mind, speaking through man, as a man and in favor of man. However it is always God speaking.

And because He has a great concern for the human race, He says:
"Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3.15

It is extremely important to note, in our meditation of the Bible, that the Holy Spirit urges us to constantly keep pure faith in mind.

A faith that is exempt from emotion,exempt from illusion, exempt from fanaticism, that is, exempt from the five human senses. But it is not exempt from trials, because they are what make us grow, mature and develop in our faith.

Like a sixth sense, supernatural faith is given to those who are born of the Spirit, enabling them to overcome the world and hold on to the eternal salvation of their souls.

"...For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcomes the world: our faith." I John 5.4

In the same way that our physical ears are proof of words being spoken and our taste buds are proof of what we are eating, our spiritual ears are proof of the good Word of God that nourishes the supernatural faith that overcomes all doubt.

Spiritual ears are sensitive to the voice of God, and resistant to the voice of the heart.

Unfortunately, virtually all who call themselves Christian have been taken prisoner by the emotions of their hearts.
But this is no surprise, they only want Jesus to be their Savior—their hearts are already their Lord.
