“Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out”

(Proverbs 20:5)

Truly, God has insight into our hearts (its intents, desires, joys and sorrows), and there comes a time in our lives when God grants us the understanding to draw from it what are needed and not needed for our walk with Him. The foundation of this book started with my own deliverance and in the process God has instructed that it be shared. It is for this reason that I consider myself the co-author and the Lord the author. Luke 8:15 says “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.” During our life on earth many seeds are sown in our hearts from our good and bad experiences. However, it is our Savior‘s desire for us to not preserve the negative seeds, such as anger, hate, and unforgiveness. Instead, He wants us after having learned the truth of His word, to retain it in our hearts so that our hearts may produce a crop that is pleasing to Him.
