Speaker: Apostle Marla Lyon Eash Service from February 11, 2024 How to Align Your Whole Heart with God’s Will It’s All About the Heart – LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD – Apostle Marla Lyon Eash
Core Spiritual Concepts
The heart is the central hub where thoughts, passions, desires, appetites, affections, and everything converge, as emphasized in Mark 12:30.
The soul, rooted in Hebrew meaning, represents individuality and houses emotions, desires, appetites, and affections. The mind is the seat of understanding, thoughts, knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom, where one’s perceptions coalesce.
Practical Application of Faith
Strength or might encompasses one’s abilities, actions, power, and deeds, representing the physical manifestation of faith.
The Shema, the Jewish moral code based on Deuteronomy 6, requires twice-daily recitation of loving God with all aspects of one’s being.
Jesus distilled the greatest commandment into loving God and loving people, transcending the Pharisees’ rule-based morality.
Spiritual Growth and Transformation
Jesus’ metaphor of one grain of wheat dying to produce a greater harvest illustrates the necessity of detaching from worldly life to find true, eternal fulfillment.
Faith extends beyond belief to encompass a relationship with God as creator, ruler, provider, and savior, exemplified by the woman with the issue of blood who fastened herself to Jesus.
