***Note: As I was waiting on the Lord, I asked Him what He wanted to speak to me about today, and this is what I heard:
My dear one, as you rest and abide in Me you are refreshed and restored each day. For as you live in this world you are constantly bombarded with sinful things all around you, on TV, in stores, at parks, people walking around half naked, smells coming out of restaurants, etc. For your eyes and ears are gates. You must be vigilant to stand at the gate and be a watchman. For when your eyes see something it leaves an imprint, a stain on you that must be washed away. When you see something and you do not look away quickly, the stains become deeper and leave a stronger imprint. It is good to limit your TV viewing. It is good to limit your shopping. It is good to look away quickly when you see people dressed so immodestly and sexually suggestive. I know it can be hard not to see these things, but, when you do, do not allow yourself to linger in your gaze, look away quickly, and repent immediately for gazing on the wickedness of the flesh, then I will wash away the filthiness from your viewing, and whisk away any lustful spirits that may try to attach themselves to you. It is good to limit your shopping, for in so doing you deny the spirit of greed and selfish desires from prospering inside of you. Pay attention to the smells coming from the restaurants, for they are filled with spirits of gluttony. Pay attention to what you are hearing, do not allow your conversations to go into gossip or slander in any form, if it does, disengage from the conversation, and or change the subject or simply walk away. Do not speak evil of another, even if you know they are doing evil. Be quick to repent of any sin you may do, as I chasten and remind you of something not pleasing to Me, repent, for in so doing you shall keep yourself clean and flourishing in Me.
Selah.
