Maybe I have misunderstood the point, But when I read this, "My friend, once you are saved, you have a brand new heart (Ezekiel 36:26), and you can trust the promptings of your heart because God dwells in you and He leads you from within. And don’t worry because His promptings will never contradict His Word. It will lead you to good success." it implies that because one has been saved they can now trust the promptings of the heart. In fact it does say that does it not? However whether it is written in a misleading way or my way of reading it is wrong you have clarified that that was not the intended meaning and I accept that. Thank you for your time.
You're welcome It's very wonderful that we can know and not worry because the Holy Spirit's promptings will never contradict His Word. The point being made is the comparison of a Christian who was taught to always identify his heart as deceitful and desperately wicked vs the Christian who is taught that his heart is new and can be trusted since it is of God and has the Holy Spirit inside.
Over the last few years I've sat under the teaching of Christians who have a faith in the goodness of God and His desire to bless us and show us His ways that are always good and satisfying. That Jesus has paid for all the blessings and favor we have from God. That His love for us will be a working part of our lives here and now as well as later in heaven. That He is our Good Shepherd Who will give us all the things we need and lead us just as the Bible says in Psalm 23.
Psalm 23
A Psalm of David.
[SUP]1 [/SUP]The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.
[SUP]
2 [/SUP]He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still
and restful waters.
[SUP]
3 [/SUP]He refreshes
and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.
[SUP]
4 [/SUP]Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear
or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.
[SUP]
5 [/SUP]You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with [SUP][
a][/SUP]oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
[SUP]
6 [/SUP]Surely
or only goodness, mercy,
and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.
Today I work at believing what the Bible says by faith regardless of what the world and my circumstances are screaming. That is what I've come to know as the good fight of faith. We are supposed to be engaged in this fight every day. It is interesting to note that Psalm 23 is traditionally said at funerals when it is really for us now while we are here on earth.
