Given
someone were to do an internet search of "Heart of Stone and Jews"
someone may be able to find a lot of valid information very quickly from
a variety of sources. Christian sources, Jewish source, Professors,
and other news sources. Having a Heart of Stone may be a particular
spiritual condition with cause and effect to it. Talmudic Jews have
been said to have hearts of stone, and do mean things to gentiles. In
the media, someone with a Heart of Stone, like the Rolling Stones song,
"Heart of Stone," may be someone who behaves as a love'em and leave'em
type. He may be a self-centered seeker of pleasure. He may not care
about love or marriage. Harvey Weinstein was a married man. He used
his position of authority in such a way as to pressure women who were
not his wife towards being with him. Harvey Weinstein may of had a
Heart of Stone.
I
will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove
from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. (Ezekiel
36:26)
For this people's heart has
become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have
closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with
their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal
them.' (Matthew 13:15)
Testimony:
As
a 29 year old man, I was calloused. Not just my heart. I had been
through some rough things in my late 20's, and I was a calloused man. I
wasn't a tough guy. I was a callused man. I received a calling from
God. I worked to grow in Faith. I developed a close relationship with
him. June 2014, at the age of 30, I suddenly felt like a was a New
Born Child. Having been calloused, I was hardened against certain
stimuli. Watching certain movies or Youtube videos, I was hardened
against various stimuli like violence or whatever. Suddenly, one day,
due to my relationship with God, I felt like I was a child. Stimuli
that I had previously been hardened against would effect me like I was
an innocent and starting over. To get into the Kingdom of Heaven
someone has to be like a Child.
Prior
to my calling, I was aware of Don Cheadle as Captain Planet. I
thought it was funny. After my calling, based on my experiences, I
saw something else with it. One day God challenged me to create a
"Captain Planet" for him. I didn't really understand what it all
meant at the time, but having a new born innocent spirit as a 30 year
old man, it hit me just right, and helped build me up.
Don Cheadle is Captain Planet.

The
above may have been created around June - July 2014. At the same
time, God had been shepherding me to be a Bridegroom. In the Bible,
Jesus is a Bridegroom looking for a Bride. Given you internet search
"Jesus is the Bridegroom" you may find many articles very quickly about
it, and a Bible concordance. I was not Jesus. I had lived like a
Prodigal Son for a few years. God was pushing to be a Bridegroom. I
would pick up my iphone4, and I started deleting out any females that I
was not interested in marrying, and did not have a strictly
professional relationship with in someway. Given they were in my
phone, and I belied or knew there could be something that wasn't
leading to marriage, or there were there for the wrong reason, I
deleted their numbers. I worked to marry about six females from my
past that summer, one at a time, like a was "Black Jesus"
Everlast. I would put all my hope, love and future into each one. I
was working for God full time. That was my job. God may have told me
about their number, as in former partners, and showed me ugly things
about them. I would get to the point where I found they were playing
games with me, God would show me their true hearts, and/or it just
wasn't going to work out. I would kick them out of my heart.
Have
you ever heard the terms "She got her hooks into him." Given a young
man meets a pretty woman, and after a few days he thinks about her a
lot or likes her, she got some hooks into someone. Given she likes
him, she works to get more hooks into him until they marry? With old
girl friends or people someone knew, they may have in their
subconscious, some of those hooks. They may not think about it. They
may have been married to someone else for many years. There may be
some hooks or emotional attachments there. In a man's heart, given he
was in sin or hook up culture, there may be lingering hooks he doesn't
know about or think about. Over the process of working to marry six
females from my past, I found that I had things lingering in my heart.
I worked to kick them out. How? I don't care. I don't care about
them. They are not my responsibility. They may live or die. I don't
care.
Circumcision of The Heart.
Bible
Verses:And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the
heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and
with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. (Deuteronomy 30:6)
No,
a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is
circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such
a person's praise is not from other people, but from God. (Romans
2:29)
At one point
growing in Faith, and having a relationship with God, it felt like what
I had felt below the belt, on some level, went up into my heart.
Before I may of had a callused heart like there was something around
it. Afterwards I was more aware of my heart in a way that brings
greater meaning and understanding to The Word of God. This happened
around Spring 2014 or so, but as I worked through being a Bridegroom, I
found my heart had been wrapped around a few females from my past.
Given
someone were to research people with "Hearts on Fire for Christ" or
"Sacred Heart" in the Catholic Church, they may be able to find people,
Saints, with valid testimony of having cause and effect, and
circumcision of the heart.
Question: Did that mean you stopped feeling things below the belt?
No.
God is love. I became more aware of his love. God is Holy and Separate from sin.
A
man walks by a woman on the street. What does he think about? There
is nothing wrong with appreciating beauty. Is a woman in God's plan
for someone? A man may be aware of these things, and he doesn't allow
his mind to drift other places. He has God's Fatherly Love, and he
would like Good things for people.
Christian Mysticism
A
Mystic may be someone experiencing cause and effect with the
Spiritual. Carl Jung has been called a mystic for his work. Part of
spiritual warfare is a war of word and a war of ideas.
We
demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against
the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it
obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5)
What
spirit is someone of? Jesus cast out spirits. Your Body is a temple.
The Spirit of God dwells in a man. A Christian Mystic is
experiencing God Almighty and has a relationship with him.
The
song "Blurred Lines" with Robin Thicke is an example of spiritual
warfare and mysticism. The song has interesting words and imagery that
works in a particular way. Someone promoting sin, and lust, may need
there to be blurred lines so that he may feel confident in going into
his sin. Me may be an egotist. As an egotist, he needs social
acceptance of his peers, so he needs them in sin as well? He doesn't
want look "not cool" or "not hip." Robin Thicke sings about being blind
and deaf in sin. Given someone is lusting, they may be in a Spiritual
Blindness. In Matthew 13:15, having a calloused heart is tied to
blindness and not hearing.
Man meets girl on Match.com.
They go out for a few dates. The man has been in sin, and has been
depressed. He may be blind and deaf. He likes said girl. He really
would like a partner or a wife. He also would like to believe that she
has not had very many partners, or dated much. He is kind of curious
about her history, but he really doesn't care to know. In said man's
head, he creates an image or construct of how he believes, or would like
this girl to be. He has a false image of her. She may be able to
give him all kinds of hints and clues about who she really is, and about
her past, given she was in a lot of sin. It goes in one ear and out
the other? Her trying to give him some hints doesn't compute. He is
blind and deaf. There are a lot of spiritual elements to this, and
other things. Robin Thicke in "Blurred Lines" was working to create
Blindness and Deafness, and lead others into self-centered pleasure
seeking sin in a form of Mysticism. What spirit was Robin Thicke of?
Men
should seek God with their Heart and Soul. Men who love Jesus Christ,
love Truth. Given someone really gets into Bible concepts, and how
they work, they have proof of God. There are people who have had proof
of God, and chosen something else. They are knowledgeable deceivers,
or false shepherds in the Bible.
