Recap

Last week we started a discussion on A HOME FOR CHRIST. We established that our private place in the Home, is our room. We are careful and cautious of whom or what we allow into it. We likened our heart/mind to our room and we also discussed how Jesus would like to come in to dwell  in, and own this room (our heart). Revelation 3 v 20

Today we shall continue in this discussion of making our Hearts A home For Christ by discussing – ‘Deep secret place of our hearts’

Deep Secrets

1.  What does the phrase ‘deep secret’ mean to you? Tell me

2.  Do you have secrets? Your desires and fantasies? dont tell me, just think about those things  for a minute

3.  Who would you normally tell your secrets?   Only your soulmates, parents, besties?

Introduction

Today I want you to know that every human being has a deep part of their heart where they keep very personal thoughts. You have yours and I have mine!

This place in our heart is filled with only those memories and thoughts that we hold dear to us. We guard it carefully not to let such place be accessed by strangers. 

For example, In my heart, I think about my personal desires, like my wishes and dreams for the future. Now do you have yours? Reflect on it. Are you willing to share any one with me? Please go ahead.

Today’s message is very simple, I want you to ask yourself if such place can be taken over by the Lord Jesus. Are you willing to let him take hold of the secret place in your heart? If you do, Jesus can make his word to find place in every part of your heart and make your life beautiful and worthy of serving the Lord, in righteousness.

Fun Activity.

Draw one object that reflects what you have in the deep secret part of your heart. You can label the drawing if you want. Sketch out anything randomly, to show one thing you crave and desire so much, that you hold dear as a secret in your heart.

Is it your dream car, game, toys or dress?

Is it what you want to become in the future, like your dream profession?

Whatever it is, please draw an object that represent it, and write something short under it to make me understand.

Parents: please let the child draw anything, no matter how childish or amateurish the drawing it, dont take it for granted. Allow for self expression in this part. thank you!

Discussion 
Now I want you to know that there is nothing hidden to God. He can see every deep part of our mind where keep our desires and thought.

Read Hebrews 4 v 12 GNT

The word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet, to where joints and marrow come together. It judges the desires and thoughts of the heart

Today I want to encourage you to fill your heart's desires, thoughts, fantasies and cravings with the love of Christ.
