The Exchanged Life: Heart Failure

Heart Failure - why do we have it?

Luke 21:26

JESUS put it this way, (and this is the way HE showed me, one morning).

Ever heard of "heart failure"?

Who hasn't been hurt in their lives because of heart failure lurking and striking family members?

We've been studying in our Home Fellowship lately about how 'fear and anger' are the actual roots of every disease and disaster in the world, and in our lives.

Here is one of the biggest - Heart Failure.

So, where does it come from? Why do some of us have it?
Is it diet? Is it exercise (or the lack of it, or too much of it?).
Is it our heredity?

That all may give us clues, but JESUS already told us.
Man and medicine can only go so far - to the body, or the mind, but never get to the Spirit of /in a man.

Luke 21:26 JESUS told us plainly..."Men's heart fail them out of fear".
Where does 'Heart Failure' come from?

Fear....

Fear causes 'heart failure'.

So, if JESUS gave us the warning and the trouble, did HE give us the answer too?

Sure!
JESUS HIMSELF is our answer! You already know the answer!

Here it is:

"HIS perfect (complete) LOVE casts out all fear." 1 John 4:8

Start trusting HIS LOVE for you, and as you enter the Kingdom of LOVE, that fear will be gone.
You can live your life, without fear. It is a lie, it is "False Expectation Appearing Real"

Rest in HIS LOVE, no matter what life throws at you.

A few of my favourite quotes:

Most of these quotes the LORD has given to me over the years, unless otherwise noted.

1) The Exchanged Life: JESUS took all that I deserved so that I can receive all that JESUS deserved! -eric

2) The Cross is the Great Exchange (all of me, sin and curse) for (all of JESUS, righeteousness and blessings). Note: that is why the Cross looks like a 't' or a crossing, where two connect or meet. -eric
