The devotional on The Spoken Word Church website for today is a very important message!
Screen Doubters
Screen doors prevent obnoxious insects from entering your home. You must assertively screen out people who are carriers of the virus of doubt and unbelief.
Boldly protect your ears and life from absorbing talk that does not edify and build.
"But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men." (Matthew 16:23)
"A little leaven leaventh the whole lump." (Galatians 5:9)
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. KJV
"Keep" here is the Hebrew word "natsar", which means: to guard, to protect, to maintain, to watch, to preserve, to guard from dangers. Our heart is the combination of our spirit and soul. The spirit of a born again believer has been remade in the image of God and is perfect! The soul consists of the mind, the emotions and the will. When we continually keep our mind renewed with the Word of God, then our mind will agree with our spirit and we will make wise choices. If we do not meditate on the Word of God , then our minds are not renewed and we will have the tendency to agree with the whims of the flesh rather than the Word of God! SO, the exhortation to keep, or guard our hearts is so that we can make wise choices that will result in Godly blessing in our lives! Screen out the thoughts, ideas and suggestions of the enemy (his weapons) and reject them! Refuse to think on them, but replace them with the Word of God! NOW you can make those wise decisions! AMEN!

Shalom in Him!
