Hey, this is Stephen Ferdick. I'm the pastor of Elevation Church, and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank you for joining us today.

Hope this inspires you. Hope it builds your faith. Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message.

I shared a teaching with our staff a couple weeks ago.

What was it?

About two months ago.

And I came in and taught this teaching called Three Habits of a Healthy Heart, and several

of them said, you need to share that with the church.

And I couldn't find a good weekend to share it because of all of the scheduling.

And well, when I realized we would have

to postpone our series for a week, I thought, this is the time, this is the window for me to

share this with you. So I want to teach you a little bit today. You may be seated. Thank you for

your enthusiasm in God's presence today. This teaching is going to require your full attention.

And I don't just mean with your mind, I mean your emotional attention.

And kind of while I get set up here to teach you today, three habits of a healthy heart.

How many, no real lasting change has to happen in your heart?

Talk to me, please. I said, how many no real lasting change has to happen in your heart?

You can't just be in your behavior.

You really have to fundamentally change your belief.

And that's kind of what the psalmist is talking about in Psalm 119, verse 112.

There aren't many chapters in the Bible that have 112 verses.

I think Psalm 119 is on record as the longest chapter

in the Bible. It's constructed grammatically in a specific way that we won't go into in this class. I kind of want to teach a little bit today if that's all right.
