We must know what is acceptable in order to protect our hearts and minds. Our minds and hearts can be impacted by light or darkness in today's culture. There is a constant battle that influences the way we think and feel. Only when we know the different aspects of our mental and emotional condition will we be able to win the battle. Without God's help no one will be able on their own to resist the attack. Luke 22:31-32, The Lord told Peter that prayer was needed in order for his faith not to fail. One of our responsibilities is to be careful how our minds and hearts are being influenced. This takes a commitment on our part.
Our barrier breaker is to resist temptation and draw closer to God through prayer. We must stand strong in the areas where God shows us we are weak. We can choose to do the right thing by surrendering our whole life to God. Do not be entrapped in a destructive behavior that will send you spiraling out of control and result in loss of hope. Here are some Barrier Breakers to help you overcome your situation.
1. Resist by guarding what you see. "The eyes are the windows of our soul". The enemy of our soul blinds us.
2. Listen to the small still voice. Do not allow the noise of the world to drown it out.
3. Ask God for wisdom. Ask others that have overcome similar situations.
4. Turn away; run from wrong influences. Jeremiah 36:3
5. We are in a spiritual warfare. Recognize it for what it is. Eph 6:12
6. Prayer is a powerful weapon that destroys the negative strongholds on our minds.
7. Keep up the faith. Psalms 107:20-22
Do not be discouraged, but rather be a "prisoner of HOPE". Instead of being chained to fear, and hopelessness let Hope feed your mind and heart. Look in God's word for the answer to any question and doubt you are facing.
Phil 4:8 talks about the things we are to think about. Remember there is nothing to hard for God. Jerm. 32:17. Call upon His name that is above all names, He will answer you. May you have courage to confront your problems and put on the mind of Christ. Resist the attacks against your mind and heart. Romans 12:1-2.
Is there any kind of pollution in your heart and mind? Turn away from it, do not be drawn into it-refuse to give in to it. Change the channel in your mind and heart. You will find much better reception in God's presence.
Be careful eyes what you see
Ask "is this good or bad for me"?
Be careful ears what you hear, does it cause fear?
Be careful hands what you touch, is the price to pay to much?
Be careful feet where you go, Jesus leads the way for you to know.
Be careful what you think and be careful heart what you feel
Do not say I am not hurting anyone, What's the big deal?
Is it Right In His sight?
