out of your sight, keep them within your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find
them and health to a man's whole body.
Proverbs 4:20-23 New International Version (NIV)

of your sight, keep them within your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to ones whole body. 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you
do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:20-22 Living Bible (TLB)
20

Listen, son of mine, to what I say. Listen carefully. 21 Keep these thoughts ever in
mind; let them penetrate deep within your heart, 22 for they will mean real life for you
and radiant health.
We have another heart that is the center of our spiritual being. The Scriptures say,
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole
spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1
Thessalonian 5:23). A human being is a spirit that has a soul and lives in a physical
body. The sense in which I use the term heart in this book is principally the spirit, but
it also includes the spirits interactions and connections with the soulwhich is the
moral seat of humanity and consists of the mind, the will, and the emotions. The
Foundation of Our Being and Character The word heart appears hundreds of times in
the Scriptures. In the Old Testament, the words most often translated heart are the
related Hebrew terms lebab (H3824) and leb (H3820). Lebab means the heart as the
most interior organ, and this term is also used in the same sense as leb. Leb means the
heart; also used figuratively very widely for the feelings, the will and even the intellect.
So, figuratively, these terms refer to the inner being of humansour very core,
including our feelings, desires, will, and intellect. In the New Testament, the main word
translated heart is kardia, which, in a figurative sense, indicates the thoughts or
feelings (mind). Our heart is our true self, and it is the catalyst for our desires, motives,
intentions, and actions. A desire is a strong wish: a wish for something or to do
something. A motive is something (as a need or desire) that causes a person to act. An
intention is the thing that you plan to do or achieve: an aim or purpose. Another term

the Bible uses to refer to the heart, or spirit, is inner man: That [God] would grant
you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His
Spirit in the inner man (Ephesians 3:16). Again, the heart is the core, or identity, of the
human being. It is the most complex, sacred, and intimate part of a personthe
foundation of his whole being and character, from which his desires, designs, purposes,
will, thoughts, and attitudes originate. Accordingly, the condition of our heart will be the
condition of our life. The state of our spiritual heart affects all aspects of our daily
living. Every spiritual, mental, and emotional matterand many physical onesis
rooted in the heart.
Exodus 15:26
26 He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is
right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not
bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who
heals you."

Matthew 8:5-17
5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6
"Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering." 7 Jesus

said to him, "I will go and heal him." 8 The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to
have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9
For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and
he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does
it." 10 When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, "I tell
you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that
many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom
will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth." 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it
would." And his servant was healed at that very hour. 14 When Jesus came into Peter's
house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her
hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him. 16 When
evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out
the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken
through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases."

your suffering."

43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no
one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and
immediately her bleeding stopped. 45 "Who touched me?" Jesus asked. When they all
denied it, Peter said, "Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you." 46 But
Jesus said, "Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me." 47 Then
the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet.
In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had
been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go
in peace."
Luke 8:49-56

synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," he said. "Don't bother the teacher any more."
50 Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be
healed." 51 When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him
except Peter, John and James, and the child's father and mother. 52 Meanwhile, all the
people were wailing and mourning for her. "Stop wailing," Jesus said. "She is not dead
but asleep." 53 They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by
the hand and said, "My child, get up!" 55 Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up.
Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat. 56 Her parents were astonished, but
he ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
