My Heart Is Established

Eagle Mountain International Church • March 24, 2022

I believe you are strong in The LORD, and in the power of His might. Your faith is growing phenomenally. Your love is increasing, and your heart is becoming established in God’s WORD. 


The stronger we are in faith and the more established we become, the easier it is to receive from God. We can forgive others, stand on God’s WORD, exercise our authority, control our flesh, remove mountains in our way, resist the devil, and overcome unstable and strange times. The more we exercise our faith muscles, the greater the results. 


Let’s believe together over all the seed you have sown into God’s kingdom. Release your faith by saying out loud, “I have given to the work of God’s kingdom. According to Mark 10:29-30, and Genesis 26:12-14, I believe I receive the hundredfold return NOW, IN THIS TIME! Isaac sowed in famine and received a hundredfold the same year. The LORD BLESSED and increased him. I am BLESSED, and increasing. Luke 6:38 says, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” I claim this by faith, in the mighty Name of Jesus. I believe this because I am rooted, grounded, anchored and established in God’s WORD.” 


In order to thrive during these chaotic times, our hearts must be established. Our words, thoughts and actions must be rooted in what God has already declared about us in His WORD. 


Psalm 112 is a profile of the believer with an established heart. Verse 1 tells us that this person honors The LORD and “delighteth greatly” in His WORD. Those are two major keys which lead to the establishing of our hearts. Verses 2-5 give us the astounding results: “His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be BLESSED. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.” 


When it comes to the challenges of life, the person with the established heart and a strong faith cannot be shaken by anything! Look at verses 6-8: “Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance [of his covenant with God]. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in The LORD. HIS HEART IS ESTABLISHED, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.” 


The person with an established heart is so anchored in God’s WORD that no storm of life can shake him or her, no matter how violent. A perfect example of this is found in Luke 6:47-48: “Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.” 


That is the only way to live! When believers become established in who they are in Christ, nothing can stop, slow or hold them back. There are no limitations for those who hear The WORD and determine to be doers of it. 


The Apostle Paul was a man firmly established in God’s WORD. Time after time, he experienced hardship and persecution. He was beaten, stoned, shipwrecked and left for dead. He experienced the perils of waters, robbers, countrymen, heathen, city, wilderness and false brethren—all which he called “light afflictions.” This man of God could not be stopped! He became so established in God’s WORD that, in spite of all he faced, he kept pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 


In Acts 20:24, he said, “But none of these things move me.” In Romans 8:37, he said,“In all these things, we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” In 2 Corinthians 2:14, he said, “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.” 


Paul was rooted, grounded, anchored and established in The WORD. We must be, as well.


In Colossians 2:6-7 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition), Paul strongly encouraged the believers about becoming established in their faith. Let this be a mandate to us all: “As you have therefore received Christ, [even] Jesus The LORD, [so] walk (regulate your lives and conduct yourselves) in union with and conformity to Him. Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed
and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving.” 


Remember, our faith has unlimited growth potential. It is developed by receiving Jesus as the Developer of our faith, then by giving The WORD first place and final authority, and by feeding, meditating and acting on The WORD. 


Declare this out loud: “I make the quality decision to walk by faith and not by sight. My faith is growing exceedingly, producing results and getting stronger every day. My faith is the victory that overcomes everything in the world order. My heart is rooted, grounded and established in The WORD of God.” 

We Have Victory in Jesus!

Jesus is Kind – Not Nice! – Ps. Al Velez

By Matthew Fortier • August 31, 2026
Biblical word definitions in the Greek and in Hebrew often reveal different intended descriptions than what we translate in our own English language definitions. One example of that is believing that kindness reflects niceness or niceties in the Bible and attaching that description to the character of Jesus. The problem with that is that there is no scripture identifying Jesus as nice but instead – kind. Kindness in the Greek is the word “chrestos” which is defined as: fit for use and virtuous. “Or do you not presume on the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance” Romans 2:4 ESV The kindness of God has a goal: to develop you, transform you, correct you and empower you. Kindness teaches but niceness appeases. If Jesus wanted to be nice, He would have calmed the storm before He asked Peter to step out of the boat and walk on the water. Instead, it was the kindness of Jesus extending His hand to Peter for the purpose of developing his faith during the storm. “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8 ESV We can see here that justice and humility are grouped with kindness. Being nice can subvert justice from a place of not getting involved but kindness demands action for the greater good. Please see the men’s breakfast video and Ps. Al’s teaching attached below and let’s be men that operate in the kindness of God! 7 Holy Habits (disciplines) to grow into Mature Manhood Increase your daily intake of God’s Word. Starting your day in the Word. Guard your heart, especially against offense. Increase your prayer life, praying intentionally rather than routinely. Keep your heart sensitive to the Holy Spirit through obedience to the Word and His promptings. Choose godly wisdom over neutral or emotionally-driven options. Practice fasting as a regular spiritual discipline. Look for opportunities to serve, disciple, and mentor others.

7 Habits of Highly Effective Men of God

By Matthew Fortier • July 22, 2026
“The chaos of the end times will require the spiritual focus of disciplined men” -Ps. Al Men, during our March Men’s Breakfast we discussed the need to increase good godly habits in order to grow as men of God so that we will better hear Him and take on His image. “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” Proverbs 25:28 ESV Developing a disciplined life requires us to not just stop doing unfruitful things but also filling those voids with doing things that edify and mature you in Christ. 7 Holy Habits (disciplines) to grow into Mature Manhood Increase your daily intake of God’s Word. Starting your day in the Word. Guard your heart, especially against offense. Increase your prayer life, praying intentionally rather than routinely. Keep your heart sensitive to the Holy Spirit through obedience to the Word and His promptings. Choose godly wisdom over neutral or emotionally-driven options. Practice fasting as a regular spiritual discipline. Look for opportunities to serve, disciple, and mentor others. Please see the Men’s Breakfast video and teaching notes attached and get ready to step into a new dimension with God! Prayer and confession over 2026 – The Year of the Big Fix!
