The Unoffendable HeartSample

The third chamber in your heart is the chamber of confidence. Whoever you put the most confidence in becomes the greatest source of your confidence, and the loudest voice in your heart is the one that you believe the most. The loudest voice in your heart is your own. What is it saying? Because it’s absolutely vital this chamber be healed and whole. So where does your confidence lie? Put your confidence in yourself, and you’ll only fail yourself when you return to that vice you’re so desperately trying to quit. Put your confidence in another human being, you'll only be set up for a letdown when they reveal how messed up and broken they really are. Put your confidence and Jesus and you’ll be on a sure foundation (1 Corinthians 3:11).

Pride and arrogance will indicate disease in your chamber of confidence. It will indicate a lack of identity because some of the most arrogant people you will ever meet actually have no idea who they are. Peter was not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knew where his identity lay! When Jesus asked Peter who He was, Peter replied, “the Son of God;” and when others left Jesus, Peter knew there was no other place to go because Jesus is the source of it all! But the others weren’t there for the real Jesus. They were there for the platform! God will always go into the epicenter of your heart to where your true motives lie and give you a crossroads where you get to choose (John 6:67-68)!

A healed, whole chamber of confidence is one that knows its identity and walks in obedience to it. People around you will be checking you and the decisions you make in your life. Is your confidence in Jesus? Do you have an unoffendable heart? When you know your identity you walk in obedience. In the Kingdom of Heaven obedience equals advancement because faith not tested cannot be trusted (1 Peter 1:7)! God is looking for those who will stay the course even if those around them question or don’t get it.

Action step: Keep digging into your identity. Post reminders around you to remind you where your true identity lies.
