Above all else, guard your heart!

SUMMARY: In Judges 7, God tests Gideon's army of 32,000 men by taking them to the waters. Those who drink eagerly and on their knees are dismissed, and only 300 men who drink with their hands are chosen to go to war. This test reveals who is mission-hearted, self-controlled, and up to the task. God always tests us in the small actions of our lives, as they reveal our character and temperament. We must be prepared and have a heart that conforms to what God wants and needs. We should seek excellence in how we serve the Lord and be careful who we associate with, as it will determine our destiny. We must obey the Lord and escape with our life, living what God says.
God tests the hearts of men and women to see who is committed to the mission, who is self-controlled, and who is only interested in their own needs. The actions of a person reveal their character and temperament, and God is always watching. It is important to have a heart that pleases God and to let Him shape our personality, psychology, and heart. God cares more about the heart than anything else, and He blesses those who have a perfect heart towards Him. We must continually remember that God is always watching and looking for passionate servants of excellence.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of guarding one's heart as it is the driving force of life, and everything flows from it. God is always looking for people with a passionate and excellent heart for Him, and He wants to bless and prosper them. The speaker advises guarding the heart from pride, grudges, envy, hate, lust, impurity, and hypocrisy. He urges the congregation to pray for their pastors and leaders and desires to be pleasing to God. The sermon ends with a prayer to form each person according to God's desire and a clean heart.

Let's go to Judges chapter 7, the Holy word of God, Judges, before reading this passage I just want to put myself in context, it is about the ministry of Gideon, God calls Gideon to free his people from oppression, from a nation much more Stronger than they, the Midianites who have oppressed Israel for a long time, the Hebrews complain to God, repent of their sins, God decides to free them
, and raises up a man named Gideon, He gives instructions, and before he takes them to war, with the group of men who have promised to go to war with him, God decides that he has to do something to clear things up and clearly define who is going to go with him, and who don't So the battle is before them and it is very imminent, they are going to go to war, so this is the context, there are thirty-two thousand men, thirty-two thousand men who have offered to go to war with Gideon, before a much much larger army.
