Day 24 “Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us.” – Ephesians 3:20 Do you ever feel...
“Do not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”
– Romans 12:2
1 Peter 5:8 & 9 (AMPC)
8 Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring {in fierce hunger}, seeking someone to seize upon and devour.
9 Withstand him; be firm in faith {against his onset—rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined}, knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world.
John 16:33 (AMPC)
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have {perfect} peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer {take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted}! For I have overcome the world. {I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.}
It’s time for every believer to tune in to the frequencies of Heaven by guarding your ears, your heart (spirit man), and the eye gates of your soul (mind, will and emotions) by processing and filtering out all excessive baggage of sin, which has nothing to do with the things of the Spirit of God.
Gossiping, idle talk, sowing discord and confusion, reality shows, movies, or music videos that promote violence and/or sexual immorality, are things we as believers need to stay away from indulging in.
More than ever before, we need to guard our eyes, ears, heart, and mind from all these ungodly activities, because Satan only needs a small gateway to enter: to corrupt our heart, mind and spirit, and get us out of the Will of God.
It may seem harmless to watch and listen to ungodly music and videos, but Satan is cunning and sneaky and this is an effective way to continue to distract, corrupt, and contaminate the minds of young people. God needs your full attention in these changing times, so make no mistake, you are here now in this lifetime because God made you for these times!
In the presence of God, allow Him to open your eyes, ears and heart to the free flow of revelation, wisdom and knowledge that is flowing directly from the Holy Spirit of God as you pray and read God’s Word.
Confession for today: “In the Name of Jesus, I ask you Holy Spirit to show me anything that displeases You. I ask You to forgive me for anything my eyes have looked upon that was ungodly. I repent now of anything that my ear gates have listened to or my eye gates have seen that is worldly. Cleanse my eye gates and my ear gates with the Blood of Jesus. Anoint my eyes and ears to receive only from you now, and thank you Jesus for setting me free.”
