THE HEART THAT PLEASES GOD

1 Samuel 13:14 But now your kingdom shall not endure. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart.
heart, which the Lord has appointed to be prince over his people, because you have not kept the
that Jehová commanded you.

DO YOU WANT TO BE A PERSON WHO IS IN LINE WITH GOD'S OWN HEART?

Is the desire of your heart to please God?

When we set out to be men according to the heart of GOD, we can count on the GRACE that we
empowers and strengthens us at all times.
Grace is a gift from God; it is the gift of his merciful and undeserved mercy.
The word 'grace' comes from the Greek (charis); the equivalent of 'charis' in Hebrew is the noun 'hen' which denotes
the idea of 'favor or benevolence'.
Grace could be defined as the special presence of God. It is the intervention that God has in us,
when we are oppressed; it is the unmerited favor that God places. Through it, God works; that is why
that Paul says that his grace was given in Christ Jesus.

One of the sources that God provides us to guide us as men according to his heart is his
POWERFUL WORD.
The Word of God is a source that nurtures growth in our lives.
It is important to know why the WORD OF GOD has such an effect.
It is the best source for learning the ways of the LORD.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for
to instruct in righteousness, so that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The Bible claims to be true.It isthat which conforms to or adheres to the truth. Complete, accurate, updated,
provable and understandable.

The truth is something forever anchored in the nature of God. He is the GOD of Truth Isaiah 65:16; He
but the truth (Psalm 51:6) Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. John 17:17. I am the way, and the
truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

Psalms 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
simple. We can trust that the Bible will provide us with correct instruction.

3. The Bible claims to be ALIVE,

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword; it penetrates
until it parts the soul and the spirit, the joints and the marrow, and discerns the thoughts and intentions of
heart.
His eternal Word is alive, and therefore life.

Jesus said that the Spirit gives life and that the flesh profits nothing. His Word is spirit and is life. John 6:63

The life of the Word of God is in the Spirit; if it did not have the backing of the Spirit of God, it would lack power.

His powerful Word is effective (Greek–Energues). It is operative or dynamic; it acts loaded with all divine energy.
and it fulfills the purpose for which God has sent it. 'So will my word that goes out from my mouth; it will not return to me'
empty, but will do what I want, and will prosper in that for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).

His wise Word is sharp, or cutting, more than a two-edged sword (Greek - Makhaira). It is like a scalpel of
surgeon and is destined to heal. When the Word of God is unleashed, it reaches the most intimate part of being
human, healing the most secret wounds of the soul or spirit and acting like a philosophical scalpel. The fact that it is of two
Filos (Greek–Distomos) literally means 'of two mouths,' penetrating very deeply into being reaching as far as the
joints and the marrow, discerning the most hidden thoughts and the intentions of the heart.

The Bible is the only book that can bring wisdom to your life, hope for your family, and the projection of a
eternal glory. The Christian can achieve spiritual maturity if he exercises himself in the study of His Word.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE THIRSTY TO KNOW MORE OF GOD THROUGH HIS WORD.

Just as the THIRST experienced in the desert, so should be the THIRST for eagerly desiring the WORD.
OF GOD.

Psalms 42:1-2 As the deer pants for the streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; when shall I come, and appear before God?

The Lord somehow wants to communicate with us, He always wants to teach us, instruct us, give us
wisdom shows us something in its word.- He is going to use any circumstance, an object, person, an animal,
etc., or something else, to reveal to us what he wants us to learn.

It is interesting how God used the difficult circumstances that David went through, a man after His own heart, and those of
an animal, in this case: a doe.

As the deer cries out for the streams of water,

Why does the servant roar? What is the problem?

Because he has a DESIRE, fervent, impossible to endure.

HE IS THIRSTY—and there is a latent danger: HIS SWEAT.

When a deer is seen bellowing, it is because it is in need of water.

It is an animal with the agility to walk through the mountains, its difficulty is not falling, but having a deep thirst.
the deer does it from its guts, its moan is internal, it comes from the depths of its stomach,
needs to be quenched in the waters of the deep void it feels.

The deer has two enemies:

the first one is external, the wolves and the lions that are hunting it to eat it, but that could be solved with
the agility to walk in the mountains;

but the second problem is not external, it is internal, the internal enemy is your sweat, your scent, and the only way
to cleanse itself of its deer stench is by submerging in the depths of water, because the only way that the wolf
and the lion can continue hunting its prey, it is because of the smell.

A MAN who in the midst of his crisis must cry out from the depths to ask God to pour out upon
his life the depth of His water, not a little water, but a river that floods and carries away all the fragrance of
fear, dread, doubt, discouragement and fill with the scent of the presence that saves from every enemy, and smell the presence of the
Spirit.

Do you have a longing for God and His Word?

God has provided us with his HOLY SPIRIT to be led to that desire to long to be satisfied by his holy
WORD. With the Holy Scriptures and the Word, God gives us these tools to grow spiritually.

Therefore, it is important to spend more time with God and His Word, where we can express to God our
desire to be renewed and strengthened to grow in spirit.

GOD wants to listen to a heart eager to grow, committing to dedicating time to His WORD.

It is said that JUAN WESLEY made a pact with GOD every year, expressing his desire to grow. As this desire grew
It will lead him to be a man after God's heart eager to fulfill His WORD.

supernatural. Create a reading schedule of the Bible to study and meditate on the Word of God. It has to
be a daily delight for your life.

SIGNS THAT SHOULD BE EVIDENT IN A MAN ACCORDING TO THE HEART OF GOD

1. A heart that obeys: It is definitive that we know the will of GOD and obey it, in order to
It is key that we know the WORD OF GOD.

Obedience leads to success Joshua 1:8

For God, obedience is more significant than sacrifices. 1 Samuel 5:22, Luke 8:21
Answering, he said to them: My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.

It is an imperative duty Acts 5:29 Responding, Peter and the apostles said: It is necessary to obey God
before men.

CHRIST gave us an example of obedience. What prevailed in HIM was to do the will of GOD.

Luke 22:42 saying: Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.

2. A heart that prays. In the WORD OF GOD we find that the men who desired GOD were
men of prayer, which made them different from other men, and God DISPLAYED IN THEM HIS
PRESENCE, HIS GLORY AND HIS POWER. CHRIST showed us that prayer is the way that leads us to
growth and spiritual maturity, and the development of what GOD has given us.

ABRAHAM: He distinguished his life through Prayer, although he did not have knowledge like ours, wherever
He would go and arrive, raising an altar to GOD, symbolizing his communion with GOD.

GEN 12:7-8 I build an altar to GOD in SHECHEM

GEN. 12:8 I built an altar to God in BETHEL, and I called on the name of the Lord.

He returned from Egypt to Bethel and invoked God.

From Bethel to Hebron, he raised an altar.

 He offered a burnt offering to the Lord in place of Isaac.

WHAT IS NEEDED TO DEVELOP A VIGOROUS PRAYER LIFE:

Time: Determine what time we can raise an altar to God. It must be a time.
where there is a greater disposition to pray and greater peace.
Place: It is important to designate a place of stillness.

Mr. Jesus dedicated time to pray to the FATHER asking for strength and direction for his life. Mark 1:35
Rising very early, while it was still very dark, he went out and went to a deserted place, and there he prayed.

God calls us to develop a lifestyle of constant prayer. We must pray with intensity at all times,
everywhere, in any environment, this is a brand that carries as a hallmark the man according to the Heart of
God.

A Heart that Praises. The man who has experienced the love of God, His Forgiveness and has seen His Power
acting, he is not afraid to express with words and in a permanent and open manner his gratitude to God. The praise
It springs from a grateful heart. We must not forget what God has done for us.

2 These are the last words of David.

David son of Jesse said, said that man who was lifted on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet
Singer of Israel: The Spirit of the Lord has spoken by me, and His word has been in my tongue. A man
according to the Heart of God, is tender with his God.

Psalm 34:1

4. A Heart that ADORES. The act of meditating on the Word of God and spending time in His presence
God, develop a sensitivity to exalt God. Worship develops in intimacy.

A heart that serves. The Lord Jesus Christ is our supreme example of service, He shows us
MODEL OF BEING A SERVANT.

The Lord Jesus said of Himself: The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve. Matthew 20:28

Let us desire a serving heart. Philippians 2:3-8

Do nothing out of rivalry or vain conceit; rather, in humility value others above yourselves.
superior to himself;

4not looking out for one's own interests only, but each one also for the interests of others.

5So, have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

6who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

7but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
