It starts from the top to the bottom. First mind, second eyes, third
tonque, forth heart, and last the body language. Yeshua.
It is never safe to
trust the guidance of life to tastes, inclinations, or to anything but clear
reason, set in motion by calm will, and acting under the approbation of ‘the
Lord Chief Justice, Conscience.’
The power and the habit of sternly saying ‘No’ to the whole crowd of tempters
is always the main secret of a noble life. ‘He that hath no rule over his own
spirit is like a city broken down and without walls.’
Proverbs 4:23–26 instructs believers to, “above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.” When Solomon refers to guarding the heart, he really means the inner core of a person, the thoughts, feelings, desires, will, and choices that make that person who he/she is. The Bible tells us that our thoughts often dictate who we become (Proverbs 23:7;27:19). The mind of a man reflects who he really is, not simply his actions or words. That is why God examines the heart of a man, not simply his outward appearance and what he appears to be (1 Samuel 16:7).
Just as there are many diseases and disorders that can affect the physical heart, there are many ailments of the spiritual heart that can impair growth and development as a believer. Atherosclerosis is a hardening of the arteries due to accumulated cholesterol plaques and scarring in the artery walls. Hardening of the spiritual heart can also occur. Hardening of the heart occurs when we are presented with God’s truth, and we refuse to acknowledge or accept it.
If you reach to certain degrees in wickedness then your conscience cannot carry that burdan anymore. Consequently you start denying the moral values and following to that you deny God in order to compansate for the guilty feelings. But that is the way which takes you to eternal darkness.
