When we observe the vibrancy of all living things in the earth we are informed of how our Lord wants us to live.   

Specifically, the most beautiful, the most powerful, the most productive and flourishing of His living creations are witnesses to His love for and expectation of Abundant Life.   

Life issues from the heart.   

If there is little or no life in the heart there is little or no life manifested in our bodies.   

And the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Gen 6:5 Our Lord created humanity for us to be His children - to be like Him.      We exist at His pleasure.      The people at the time of the flood had completely disconnected from the Lord and His purpose for them.      The Lord destroyed that generation because they were filthy, dishonourable and irreversably aligned with satan.      The elites of this world (who control the Seven Mountains of influence) are in the same state of corruption as during Noah's day.     They too will be destroyed.      The Lord saved Noah and his family while He destroyed everyone else.      When Jesus returns He will do the same thing.     He will catch all believers, dead and living, up to Him in the air.     Then He will destroy the unbelievers and their monuments with the Word Of His Mouth.      And just as there was a new beginning for the world under Noah, there will be a new Millennial Kingdom under our Lord Jesus Christ.

O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things?     for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Mat 12:34 A generation is the set of all people of a particular age group.      Jesus is saying that virtually all the people He was talking to were vipers - cold-blooded snakes only interested in filling their guts.      They were evil and it was impossible for them to speak the Truth.     Their hears were evil and so their speech was evil.      In order for these words the Lord spoke not to apply to us, we must repent and change our minds, our thinking, to that of our Lord Jesus Christ.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Luk 6:45 The Lord is good and anyone who aspires to be good must be filled with the Lord the Holy Spirit.     He it is that manifests good in us.     Phi 2:13 Our hearts must be transformed by the power of the Word and the Holy Spirit.

And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 2Ch 19:9

This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yes, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. Ecc 9:3

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Ecc 8:11

That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of the Lord, and of the Father, and of Christ; Col 2:2 Paul wants to impart to them greater understanding of the love and riches that are to the believer by virtue of the indwelling Holy Spirit - the Mystery Of God.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Heb 10:22 A true heart is an honest, open, informed heart that rests in the Word Of The Lord.     It reflects a Pure Conscience.     Whereas, an Evil Conscience is one which condemns us by denying the total, perfect efficacy of Christ's shed blood.      We ought to draw near to the Lord because that is what He wants and made possible for us.      It is what we were created for and it is how we experience Eternal Life and Abundant Life.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Holy Spirit; Eph 5:18 One of the fruit of the Spirit is temperance (self control).     Excess is to be avoided in all things but especially in those things which cloud our minds and subject us to Satan's influence.      Being drunk is being under the influence.     Being sober is being clear headed.     Alcohol and drugs are not the only things that can bring one under the influence of Satan, The Mystery Of God, the Mystery Of Christ is accomplish as we are filled with the Holy Spirit and serve Christ in His power The Holy Spirit IS Eternal Life.     Receiving Him is receiving Eternal Life.     Apart from Him there is only death.      When Jesus talked about giving us life and life more abundantly, He was talking about giving us His Holy Spirit Joh 10:10.
