The heart is very deceitful, unstable, evil and extremely dangerous! Letting your heart guide you is like trying to cross and eight lane highway during rush hour traffic while wearing a blindfold. Your heart is leading you straight into the path of problems and destruction. Your heart is like a cup of coffee, it starts out burning hot and eventually it gets cold, it can burn you and then leave you cold. Our hearts fuels the flames of our fleshly desires, causing us to make irrational decisions, causing us major problems and eventually destruction.
Our heart blinds us from the real truth, of the consequences of our actions/decisions, covers up obvious problems, disguises the bad by portraying it to be something good, and blindly leads to failure and disappointment.
No matter how much we think our heart is full of love, it is also evil. That sounds contradicting but it is true. The Bible is full of God's Words warning us of our evil heart and the wrong way our heart will lead us. Our hearts are wicked and deceitful, beyond cure, and there is nothing we as humans can do to cure or repair our evil hearts.
Stop and think of all the decisions made by our hearts and look at the problems and disaster it led us into. We cannot trust our feelings, emotions or the desires of our heart to guide us in the right direction for our life. These are feelings and desires of the flesh, which are deceiving and evil, that will lead us down the wrong road into hardship and problems. We all want to follow our hearts but we must NOT do that because our heart is evil, deceitful, and full of fleshly desires, with NO regards to the damage it causes us in our life.
When our heart leads/guides us to commit any act against the will of God, such as theft, adultery, slander, gossip, lust, abuse, etc., then we know that is the evil in our heart leading us down the wrong road. Our hearts being deceitful above all things, is why you cannot trust it to lead/guide you in life. The tugging of the heart or the strong desire you have could be the evil fleshly heart urging you to make an ungodly decision.
God warns us, in the last days, that more and more people will follow their own evil fleshly desires, their own ungodly ways, and their instincts into destruction and hell, just as so many are doing today.
While the world and the little voice in your head/heart tells you to follow your heart, God warns you not to listen to either, because that is the way of evil and to destruction.
We do not have to be in the dark or wander aimlessly and blindly through life, not knowing which way to go or how to trust we are making the right decisions. God gave us His Book of instructions, "The Bible full of His Word", to compare our heart's desires with His will for us and our lives, so we can know that we are not making the wrong decisions and going down the wrong road. He tells us to follow Him and obey His Word, and not our deceitful hearts.
There is NO indication in the Scriptures that tells us to let our feelings, desires or our heart lead/guide us. We can only know that we are going down the right road or making the right decisions, if we know God's Word and His instructions for our lives, and follow them. Trust in His Word and let it be your guide for making the right decision and going down the right road in life.
Our hearts cannot be cured or repaired from the evil fleshly deceit, but there is a way to get a heart transplant for a new heart. Only God can give you a NEW heart, one you can trust in, one that hears and follows God's Word!!!
Jer. 17:9, The heart is deceitful above all things, and beyond cure.
Matt. 15:19, For out of the heart comes evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immortality, theft, false testimony, slander...
Ezek. 36:26, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you...
DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR HEART'
FOLLOW GOD!!!
