Mans problem is a heart problem. Not a mind problem. The heart is exceedingly wicked. Who can know it? Only God knows the heart of a man. God looks upon the heart. Not upon the outer man.
In ancient times people believed that the spirit of man, consciousness, was seated in the organ of the heart. We now know that consciousness, our term for the spirit, is seated in the organ of the brain. With this in mind you can now know that whenever scripture is speaking about what is going on in the heart, they are referring to what is going on in the brain where everything, thoughts, dreams, hopes, beliefs, emotions, - everything- is perceived..
The heart only pumps blood and may be affected for good or bad by whats going on in the brain, but nothing is perceived in the organ of the heart. It is not possible for a heart to be exceedingly wicked, but the mind of man can be...
This is but one of the many things that causes you to stumble into error in thought and belief...
Your problem is indeed a problem of the mind.
