Clean living

I read today and find the necessity for continual cleansing. We as a fleshly people need to continually be cleansed. I think of our tongue as a continual roadblock when we butt up against the realms of life. I know that in an instant if I’m not entirely focused on Christ I can get off track and find myself blocking my own cleansing and the blessings that God has for me. 

Proverbs 18:21 - Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

And who are you feeding?

Are you coming alongside the enemy and agreeing with death over your life or are you coming into agreement with our Heavenly Father and giving life to your life. We can fall into this realm of worldly living that’s as death upon our lives or we can dive headlong into a spiritually filled life fulfilling walk in all we do kinda life. I wish to be blessed in all I do and all I put my hands too. I don’t wanna get caught off guard into idolatrous thinking or living as Israel did over and over and over again and again. If we don’t focus on God in all we do we will be lied to cheated on and fellowshiped with from the world instead of growing In Our understanding of our Lord and Savior. 

Matthew 12:34 - Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Where is your focus? Where is your heart at currently? Right Now are you living a fully focused life on Christ in all you do or are you allowing the world to dictate your thoughts and desires. We all tend to get caught off guard from time to time, but what is the longing feeling in your heart? Is it Jesus or is it something of the world? 

As I read this Bible reading today and all the measurements of the temple described in Ezekiel I see all that Israel went through for their cleansing. Thank you Jesus we don’t have to worry about that. Jesus took that from us and placed himself in the fires of sacrifice for each and everyone of us as individuals. For His sacrifice I find that I wish to know Him more so in turn I must live in Him more, monthly, weekly, hourly, even minute by minute or second by second at times. My focus must be on Him not the worldly idols of today.

Father help me to steer clear of idols of the world today and focus entirely on you. Help to keep me cleansed and open to your continual leading. In the humble amazing wonderful precious grace filled mercy encountering name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen!
