Guard Your Heart: Mental Health and Total Well-being

In the process of surviving the mindless and ludicrous rat race, we lose our very self. The devil has blinded our minds to allow the fallen world to define our identity with insignificant temporal things such that we completely lost sight of the much more significant things of eternal value – 2 Corinthians 4:4, 18.

We are unwittingly wasting the present by regretting the past and worrying about the future. Elohim did not mean for us to have such a miserable life.

The devil attacks restfulness. 

This concept was illustrated in the first ever battle fought by ancient Israel against Amalek in Rephidim when they departed from Egypt – Exodus 17:8-14.

The fundamental meaning of a doctrine or concept is found the first time it is mentioned in the Bible. This is the Principle of First Mention. The first mention of a concept in the Bible is the simplest and presented in an easy-to-understand fashion. More complex doctrinal concepts are then developed from this basic foundation. 

“There’s a kind of rush, all over the world to bite.

All over the world you can hear the sighs of sorrowful plight.

You know what I mean.

So listen very carefully get closer now and

you will see what I mean

So stressed till you’re steamed!”

From studying the account of the first battle of ancient Israel, we find our Lord Jesus hidden in those passage of scriptures. As we behold the beauty and perfection of the person of Jesus in the Bible, we will be encouraged while waiting on the Lord to manifest the wonderful blessings He has died to give us. It is the cure for worry and anxiety.

We can participate in the present moment and not be pounded by the regrets of the past or pressurized by uncertainties of the future. Let’s flow with the rhythm of grace – Matthew 11:28-30, The Message.

This book is about the paramount importance of guarding the heart and how to focus on the one thing needful for both mental health and total well-being.
