If you don’t check your heart, it will hinder your relationship with the Lord.
We must love the Lord God with all our heart.
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ (Matthew 22:37)
Somethings wrong when you don’t want to pray, worship or get into the word of God.
Speak who you are in Christ and there will be deliverance.
