When you awake in the morning, what are you presenting to your heart, mind, and flesh first. Are you waking up and turning on the news or are You waking up giving God thanks, reading His Word, and praying to Him first.
We have to start awaking our Spirits to and with the Word of God. We have to remember that we have gates that lead to our soul. We have our eye gates, ear gates, and even fleshly gates that are activated by what we touch and feel. So we need to be aware of the fact that it matters what we watch and what we listen to. It matters what we allow our hands to touch. It matters what we allow to enter into the door of our hearts. We can’t go about life thinking it’s okay to see, listen, and do just anything because it is not.
So when you wake up in the morning, seek God first. Don’t leave room for the enemy to enter into your thoughts. Cast down everything that is exalting itself against the knowledge of God. Don’t turn on the news before you pray. Pray first and if there is something on the news that needs to be prayed about, pray again. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. If you are listening to music, listen to music that sings about God’s goodness, grace, love, and mercy. Don’t fill your Spirit with lyrics that lead to lust, killing, and an unhealthy lifestyle.
We have to make sure that we are putting God first in all that we do. So start today by detoxifying your life. You have to abstain from those things that are toxic to you and the life and lifestyle that God wants you to have. When something is toxic, it brings about disease in your body. Don’t allow the toxins of the world to cause your life to have “dis - ease”. God wants you to live “at - ease” in Him.
