Take Heed

Take Heed: intent earnest contemplation. Behold, beware, look, perceive, regard.
 
Take heed to the word of God
 
Psa 119:9   Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
 
Prov 4:14  Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
Prov 4:15  Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Prov 4:16  For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
Prov 4:17  For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
Prov 4:18  But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Prov 4:19  The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
Prov 4:20  My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Prov 4:21  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
Prov 4:22  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
Prov 4:23  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Take heed to sound doctrine
 
1 Tim 4:16  Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
 
2 Tim 4:2  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
 
1 Tim 6:12  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
 
Rom 16:17  Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
 
 
Take heed to your ministry
 
Col 4:17  And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
 
1 Cor 3:23  And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
1 Cor 4:1  Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1 Cor 4:2  Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

 
Eph 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Eph 4:14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Eph 4:16  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
 
1 Tim 4:14  Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

 
Take heed and lead by example

1 Cor 8:9  But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
 
Gal 5:13  For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Gal 5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 
2 Tim 2:1  Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Tim 2:2  And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2 Tim 2:3  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2 Tim 2:4  No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
beware of temptation

1 Cor 10:12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1 Cor 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 Cor 10:14  Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
 
1 Cor 9:27  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
 
1 Cor 8:2  And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
1 Cor 8:3  But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

Take heed, lest ye fall into unbelief
 
Heb 3:12  Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

 
Heb 2:1  Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
Heb 2:2  For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
Heb 2:3  How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Heb 2:4  God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

 
Jer 7:24  But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

 
Jer 17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jer 17:10  I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
 
Psa 139:23  Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Psa 139:24  And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

This is a cycle, the devil and the world seeks to pull you down. Go back to the beginning and follow God. Recommit your life to the Lord and be an overcomer.
 
1 John 5:4  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1 John 5:5  Who is he thatovercometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:6  This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
1 John 5:7  For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
 
Be renewed in your Spirit.
 
Rom 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
 
Titus 3:5  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
