PROVERBS 3:5
HEART AND SOUL
A favorite verse of mine is Proverbs 3:5 which says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
When you trust God implicitly, He will see you “through” whatever challenges life presents. But from where does that “trust” come? It comes from your heart. And what does it mean “from your heart?” It means from your “spirit.”
Why does it also say that you should not trust (lean unto) your own “understanding”? Our “natural understanding” comes from our soul, and not from our spirit. We are made a trinity as is God in whose “image” we are made; we are body, soul, and spirit.
Our spirit is our “knower.” Our soul is our “thinker.” Our spirit is the “fuel” from which our soul and our body operate. A sinner in his state of depravity “acts out” and lives in foolishness in God’s eyes because he is trusting in the communications from his depraved spirit (heart). Proverbs 28:26 says, “He that trusteth in his own heart (spirit) is a fool.”
When we are born again through Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit changes our human spirit from its depraved condition into “newness” which is now in harmony with the Spirit of God. We are given “the spirit of wisdom (understanding)” from Jesus (Isaiah 11:1-2). Yes, indeed, it says in Proverbs 2:6, “For the LORD giveth wisdom.” Wisdom is equated with understanding, so our trust in the LORD gives us understanding from our spirit to our soul. In this way we attain the peace which Christ gives in knowing that God will see us through.
When we choose to lean upon (trust) our own understanding, it is reasoning that comes from our soul, not from the spirit. Our soul is the part of us that thinks, reasons things out, studies circumstances upon which we act, contains all our emotions, and the choices we willfully make. When it is our “own” understanding, we make many mistakes, misinterpret what we see, and trust in our own thoughts and “wisdom.”
When we trust in the LORD, our human spirit by the influence of Holy Spirit, conveys to our soul (thoughts, reasonings) the more perfect knowledge (understanding) of God.
Even a born-again Christian can often make the mistake of trusting his own reasoning. When we trust in the LORD in all matters, the influence of Holy Spirit communicates the “thoughts” into our mind (soul). Yes, the human “mind” is a function of the soul. We need to “listen” and trust our spirit as given us by God, because when we truly trust Him in all things, it is Holy Spirit who will speak to our soul (mind, thoughts, reasoning, emotions). That is the manner of “wisdom and understanding.” If your “heart” (spirit) is not right, neither will your soul (understanding) be right.

GRACE
The word “grace” can have many different meanings. Some people pray before a meal and call it “grace”. Other use the word for someone that is not clumsy, they are “graceful”. It also is given if you are late on a debt and can’t pay right away. You are given “grace” until you can meet the obligation.
The word grace in the Greek is “charis.” It is defined as the divine influence upon the heart and its reflection in the life including acceptable, benefit, favor, gift, liberality, pleasure, and thank(s) worthy. Many simply say it is God’s unlimited favor.
Grace is a gift. It cannot be earned. It comes from God and is imparted to us that have fallen short of the glory of God when we receive salvation. Without this grace, we would have a future without God. Because of this gift of grace (that we do not deserve because of our sin) we are reconciled to Almighty God and given the gift of eternal life.
We should never take this gift lightly. It cost Jesus everything to bestow this gift upon us. Thus, we should bestow it on others too. When loved ones, friends, and even those in ministry fail, we must give them the “grace” to be forgiven.
Grace is a gift that must be shared. Don’t bottle it up. Let it flow out of you into others and bring this “gift” of “grace to those that truly need it.

From a reader in Virginia:
"Your simple explanation of the gospel was spot on, Helen. If only preachers and ministers would just present it this way I think more would come to understand it and be drawn to the gospel and salvation by God's good grace. It doesn't have to be confusing and mysterious. Thank you and God bless you for the work you do.

4-5-2021
I encourage each of you to continue looking to our Lord Jesus Christ for your supply, your strength and your peace. Never lose sight of the great truth that God and God alone will forever be your strong tower and you can run to Him and not be afraid even in the evil days that are now coming on our land. Just look around you and you’ll see that like never before many good people are becoming more fearful, more lonely, more depressed and at times more confused as things become crazier as the days go by. You can rest assured as evil, violence and perversion escalates all around us...That the very peace, power and presence of God will rise up. For greater is He our Saviour and our Lord than all the demonic hoards of hell that are so rampant in the world today. Oh, but in the midst of it all let’s join together and say...”Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” (Psalms 20:7 ) God bless each of you; And remember to always keep your eyes on Jesus and your faith in Him

Prophetic Word
Helen Sanders
You would call me a man of sorrows, and indeed I am saith the Lord. I have many sorrows. I had sorrows as I walked among my people and saw their hearts turn away from me, and again I have sorrows as I see throngs and multitudes that have drawn themselves away from me and are going after the things of this world. I grieve and I sorrow over a world that would have nothing to do with their creator. I am grieved and see their end. Would there be one that would stand in the gap and make a difference? Would there be one that would take what my word says and used it wisely and bring an end-time harvest? Would there be one that would take the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God, and use it to defeat the enemy of their souls? Would there be one saith the Lord? I have looked with my eye, and see a few in a remnant, those that have held fast to the promises of my word, and stand strong in my might, yet there are few. There are few saith the Lord that would take the time to come into my presence and be filled up with the essence of myself. There are few that would take the time saith the Lord, and it is sorrowful. Oh that my children would draw away from the things of the world, and come and sit at my feet, in an intimate quite time with me to learn what the lover of their soul would have to say, but they are not, saith the Lord. Would you be the one? Would you be the one that hears the voice of the lover of their soul and come away with me? I would cause you to hear and cause you to ride on the high places saith the Lord. I would cause you to see and know the plans
