Review – John 8:31, 32
Hebrews 3:12, 13
Steps to a hardened heart
Intimacy with God starts to slip.
Deception gets an entrance.
Personal disciplines begin to weaken.
Isolation from spiritual accountability creeps in.
Distance develops.
Patterns of wrong thinking and inferior choices grow stronger.
An evil heart is developing …. Sensitivity to sin is lost, and we are becoming
hardened against the very heart of God!
Remember, a loss of intimacy with God is the root of all our internal brokenness.
What do I do to start rebuilding intimacy with God?
Recognize …. Repent …. Reinvest in Rebuilding (intimacy with God; relationships
with others)
Hebrews 3:14 – Hebrews 4:11
Striving in our own abilities vs partnering with God Who has the ability and the end result
under His control!!
