#530 - Joseph Prince - Hesed Wisdom To Live Skillfully - Highlights

The sword in the Bible is a picture of the Word of God. The Word of God is a sword that divideth asunder soul and spirit. No doctor can do that. And of the joints and marrow none is physical, physical and spiritual; and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. It brings out even the thoughts and intents of the heart. The gospel can reach that deep. It can purify. It can touch. It can heal. It can cut away what is not necessary. Amen? And it can even create a miracle in those areas.

It's more important to go for the heart than for the brain. Many at times you reason with people. You talk to them. You reason with them. That's a problem. You're reasoning with them. When they tell you, "I don't believe that". They can quote to you this scientist, that scientist, and what the scientist say, that scientist says. And of course we can also bring our creation scientist as well, but the thing is this. It's brain to brain. Jesus always goes for the heart.

People want to borrow money, always tell yourself, "Am I willing to lose this money"? Don't tell the person, okay? But in your heart, "Am I willing to lose this money"? If you're not willing to lose that money, don't lend. It will destroy relationships. It's not worth it. If you're not willing to, just say, "I love you, and I treasure our friendship. That's why I won't be lending you because I treasure our friendship".

For God so loved the world that he gave. He gave his only begotten Son, and some of us slap his hand and say, "I don't need it. I can save myself. I'm good enough. I'm not a sinner. I'm not bad. I'm not that bad". We slap his hand. But God so loved the world that he gave. "Therefore doth my Father love me because I lay down my life".
