Decisions are made with the heart, not the head. Whether it was your last purchase of a house, car, clothing or selecting the spouse you fell in love with, your heart made the decision, and your brain made the justification. The head rationalizes what the heart has already decided.
Neuroscience bears this out too: research into emotional processing has consistently demonstrated that patients who lose access to the emotional centers of their brain become incapable of making decisions, even when full rational capacity is intact.
Hearts Make Decisions
Hearts make decisions — but the implications depend entirely on the framework you bring to it. New thought philosophy hears “the heart decides” and concludes that the heart is simply the subconscious mind, a programmable mechanism that can be loaded with the right imagery, affirmations, and identity cues in order to produce desired outcomes. The practitioner becomes the programmer. Persuasion becomes a form of inner-game software installation. It produces inauthentic people disconnected from their own hearts. The burnout is tragic in the long run.
We’re taking a different position. The heart is not a subconscious mechanism — it is the place where Father’s Living Word lands and takes root. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” The heart is the wellspring of a person’s life, the deep place where God deposits identity, story, and purpose before any of it surfaces in conscious awareness. When a person senses that something is “right for them,” it can be because the Father has already been speaking that direction to their heart — and they are hearing it. Learning to discern the difference between flesh and spirit is maturity, easy.
- The deepest and most enduring motivation is not our personal desires or dreams.
- It’s sharing the purpose in Father’s heart that is also written in our heart.
- It’s being integral with myself; God’s handiwork created in Christ to do His works in His power as sons and daughters of the King of kings.
Learning to Listen
The critical implication for sons is this: the most powerful thing you can do in any conversation is not to engineer the other person’s heart through technique, but to hear from the Father about what he is already saying to their heart — and then mirror it back to them. That is what Jesus modeled. He did not manipulate. He saw people. He named what was already in them. He called Nathanael before Philip found him. He told the woman at the well everything she had ever done. He looked at Simon and saw Peter.
Sons who ascend to the Council and bring Living Words back to the earth are doing the same thing — not programming the heart but echoing what Holy Spirit is already speaking into it.
Sons do not engineer the heart. They hear from the Father about what he is already saying to someone’s heart — and mirror it back. People feel seen and loved. Our words confirm what they already hear from Holy Spirit.
Here’s How
Seven practical ways to put heart in your business that follow are a framework for doing exactly that — speaking to the heart from the Council, in the context of identity, story, and purpose, so that the person in front of you moves from confusion to clarity about who God made them to be and what he is inviting them into.
Summary
The Living Words you hear can be binned into Identity, Story, Purpose, Strategy, Tactics, Counsel, Courage, Clarity, and Culture “because” they come from Father, Jesus and the 7 Spirits (the Council). This is the inner game of sharing Living Words. And it flows directly from the Council framework in the graphic below: sons who ascend and align — who have had the nine conversations with Father, Jesus, and the Seven Spirits of God (Rev 1:4, 3:1, 4:5, 5:6) — bring back Living Words that speak to hearts. Those words, spoken into the hearts of the people, are not sales techniques. They are the work of Reformation — one person, one conversation, one council-informed Living Word at a time.
The heart does not need to be programmed. It needs to hear what the Father has already been saying. Sons who ascend carry that word. Their job is to be faithful enough to deliver it.
