1. God should be number one in your life, He should be the first person you talk to in the morning. When you put God as your first priority in life everything will begin to align up.
Bible Verse:
Luke 4:8
Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'”
2. Being careful of what you watch on television.
Bible Verse:
Luke 11:34-36
“Our minds dwell on the things that occupy our time”
Being a single woman it gets lonely and hard. And sometimes when we get lonely we run to T.V and began to put on a romantic film. And for a moment it gets comfortable and that movie begins to fill that void of loneliness for a second. But later on at night, it starts to pop up again in your mind. Now your flesh is rising up and spirit is going down because you haven’t fed it with the word. And you’re looking for some company. (pick up your phone) Who can I text (Hey stranger) Now you’re looking for a “cuddle buddy” or a “Netflix and chill buddy”.
3. The Music your listen to
Bible verse:
Colossians 3:2
“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things”
The devil was a part of the worship in heaven “however, his pride got to him”. What I’m trying to explain is why, when you’re sad you play a sad song and when you’re mad you listen to an angry song, and when you’re in love you play a love song and etc. Back then you just had the music and not including the music videos. Now, kids, these days are now attracted to what they see on T.V “I want the money drugs and the girls.” I believe the devil is the master of the airwave. He knows how to get to your emotion, you’re so caught up in your emotion that you lose focus on God. What are you listening to???
4.Your Friends (keeping good and positive company)
Bible Verse:
1 Corinthians 15:33
“Do Not be misled, Bad company corrupts good character”
Your friends are the example of what you believe and represent. Can I just say that this is a true fact? The people that are a part of your circle plays a big role in life. When I was in High School I had a friend, she was a horrible example I realize everything she says, I would start saying it. It got to the point where people started to say I look like her. People I didn’t know started to think I was rude like her.
5. Your Prayer Life
Bible Verse:
Keep watch and pray so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!” Matthew 26:41
It’s impossible for God to purify our minds if we or not hanging out with Him on a regular basis. I can testify to this!!!
How can you fight against temptation, sexual desire, and an unstable mind if you’re just filling it with the world and not the word of God, You can’t fight fire with fire!!!
6. “Being confident (especially in what you stand for)
Bible Verse:
Jeremiah 17:7
“But Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.”
You can’t stand for anything if you’re not confident in it. How are you going to tell me about Jesus if you’re not sure about him yourself? How can you preach about purity if you’re not confident enough about living an honorable life for Christ? Be bold in Christ Queens!!!!
Love,
