5F's Podcast with Marvin Smith 4

When a Man Stops Guarding His Heartwe continue our series on the Life of David we will learn that David is not perfect and neither are we. God is not looking for a life of perfection but He is looking for a heart that is set on Him. David's son Solomon wrote a book called Proverbs. In there he says, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” -Proverbs 4:23 The greatest battle that you and I will ever face is not on the outside of us, but it is the battle that takes place in our heart. When a man stops guarding his heart we are uncertain how far from God we can wonder and what our minds will conceive. David has: Been Anointed as KingDefeated GoliathSurvived Saul Hunting HimRuled the Souther Kingdom of Judah for 7.5 yearsUnited Israel's Divided KingdomEstablished JerusalemExperienced God's Favor.This is a stunning resume. This is the resume of one who seems to be great in might and self disciplined in spirit. Yet David's Greatest battle was not against a giant, It was a battle against himself.

Today we come to the tragic moment of the death of mighty men. Israel is at war against the Philistines and the Philistines are pushing hard against them. The Philistines begin to win the war and Israel's men of war begin to run.Saul and his sons are in the battle and they are on the run too. The Philistines understand that if you can kill the leader the army will more than likely lose all hope.A Biblical Principle that we can learn from this is that when the Shepherd is lost the sheep will scatter.King Saul was the Shepherd, but when he was killed the men began to flee from their positions of war. When we leave a territory of our life or of our heart empty know this that the enemy will come and take that territory and claim it as his own. 

The Jealous King and the Actions of the Person in Pursuit of GodWhen Jealousy rises in the heart of a person there is no imagination as to how far that jealousy can cause a person to go. King Saul raged with Jealousy and destroyed himself, his family, and the kingdom. When a person pursues God with their whole heart there is not way that our imagination can dream of how far God could take them. We get to choose the heart we want as people of God. Choose wisely for it could cause your personal destruction or godly direction.

In this series of messages we will see how God shapes a person for the calling that God has for anyone's life. We will learn the art of patience through the process and restoration in the failures. We all have giants in our life and when we learn to run towards them and slay them in the name of the Lord there is victory over sin, self and Satan.

In today's episode we are going to talk about how You have been created on purpose with a purpose! The gifts, talents and character traits that God has given to you are yours to help you in your purpose. The circumstances you've endured can reveal a lot about what you're designed to do. The things that have happened to you are preparation for your purposeful future. Your presence here on earth is proof that you are necessary. You have value, you have an assignment, and you have a purpose. #marvinsmith4 #purpose #influencer #influence #fyp #foryourpage #infuencer

We need to remember, "we are not trying to raise good children, but we are raising great adults." As our family grows and one day goes I hope that they want to come back home and enjoy the family still. As we walk through the different stages of life that our children are in we will see what it is that we need to be instilling into our family members.

When you figure out your why you will be in it for the long haul. Often times I talk to teenagers and adults and their why has a definitive deadline. You need to figure out a why that doesn't have a timeframe so that you are always able to continue to press forward the mark that God has for you. In today's episode of the 5F's podcast we are going to be looking at Wholistic Living. How we can't separate our lives into compartments and expect the 5F's (faith, family, friendships, finances, and fitness) to connect properly.

Today we will be looking in at the Mindset of the Healthy. I believe that 80-90% of your health journey starts in your head and it is crucial to get your mindset right in order to get your fitness journey going in the direction that would lead to a healthy lifestyle. The goal in this podcast is to get you to believe that you are worth being healthy. To get you to see the value of your health in your mind or heart so that you will begin to see yourself as a healthy person. #Marvinsmith4 #exercise #godfirst #motivation #commitment #health #leadership #strength #fitness #motivation #loseweight #jesussaves #Healthylifestyle #faith #results #Family #friendships #Finances #discipline
