Guard Your Heart: Lessons from Nehemiah 11 with Dr. Theresa M Bell

Episode Overview

  • Guarding your heart is crucial to protect yourself from negative influences.
  • Studying the Bible independently helps in discerning the truth amidst various translations.
  • Love is a choice and should not be based on coercion or manipulation.
  • Be discerning about the company you keep and the voices you listen to.
  • Toxic influences can lead you astray from God's path; choose your company wisely.
Guard your heart begins with us getting in the word first before we sit here and listen to anybody coming with the word at us. We got to study to show our own self-approved and make sure these people are telling us the truth.
Ever wondered how to protect your heart from life's many challenges? In this episode of Resilient Truths, Dr. Theresa M Bell tackles the vital subject of guarding your heart, inspired by Nehemiah 11. She kicks off by highlighting the differences in Bible translations and why it's crucial to study the scripture yourself. This isn't just about reading words; it's about understanding the deeper truths that can guide your life. Dr.
Bell dives into the dangers of allowing self-righteous individuals into your life. These are people who are more interested in their own gain than in genuine relationships. According to her, love is a choice, not something that can be forced or manipulated. Allowing toxic influences can wreak havoc on your spirit and your life. She warns against 'pimps'—those who exploit others for their own benefit—and stresses the importance of being selective about who you let into your inner circle.
Through personal stories and biblical references, Dr. Bell offers practical advice on how to keep your heart and spirit safe from negative influences. She emphasizes that God listens to the desires of our hearts, not just the words we say out loud. The enemy can only use what is known against you, so it's essential to guard your innermost thoughts and feelings.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual life and make wiser choices about their relationships. Dr. Bell's insights are both enlightening and practical, offering a roadmap for living a life that's true to God's teachings while protecting yourself from harm.
