HAVE YOU PACKED YOUR WEAPONS OF WARFARE AGAINST THE ATTACKS OF YOUR ADVERSARY? ALWAYS BE PREPARED. PACK WELL MY FRIENDS. SAFE JOURNEY AHEAD!

A JOURNEY TO SUCCESS- 2018

Part 3

Purification

3      We have to keep ourselves from  contaminants after we have cleansed ourselves. The only way to remain in a state of holiness is to draw near to God and He, in turn, will draw near to us. We are to ask Him for His strength and His power to sustain us for the journey ahead.' The Joy of the Lord is our strength,' according to Nehemiah 8:10. All we need to do is to ask and we will receive.

Meditate on these Scriptures as you make preparations for your journey.

 

2. Corinthians 7:1

'We must remove everything from our lives[a] that contaminates body and spirit, and continue to complete the development of holiness within us' (TPT).

Ps. 51:2, 10

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin...(v.10) create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

1 Corinthians 7:1

Let me cleanse myself from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (Thank You, Father, for Your mercies and grace).

Words are very powerful and we have to monitor and keep track of our thoughts. Even if you slip up and have a negative thought I admonish you not to verbalize it aloud. This is very important to your success.

Ephesians 4:29

'Don’t let any foul words come out of your mouth. Only say what is helpful when it is needed for building up the community so that it benefits those who hear what you say.'(CEB).

4      You may have heard that the 'battle is in the mind'; that's true because everything happens in our minds. When you look around in our world today at the pandemic of evil you are witnessing the thoughts of evil perpetrated by the Adversary and acted upon . Even children are affected. Hence, the influx of bullying on the playground and in our schools. Crimes acted out by children who would grow up to be adults and the cycle of evil will continue unless we guard our thoughts and our minds. We need to let our children know who they belong to and be vigilant in prayer, seeking God for our children's protection from the Evil one. We must guard our minds with the help of Our Divine Protector, Jesus Christ.


God Speed, safe navigating!
