We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy–meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:8)
As the saying goes....Practice makes Perfect!Soooo what exactly are you practicing?
The things we so callously take for granted in our comings and goings.
These things go hand and hand with the Law Of Attraction.
What we put out is what we will have returned to us.
But what we practice we will become. If we practice fear–being afraid of what life could bring our way; or what may happen to our children at this point in history; or what if we go under financially; or what if my child who is learning to drive has a wreck on the freeway; etc., then we will become even more fearful and frozen in our ability to trust God.
If we practice criticism of others, complaining and seeing others with a judgmental attitude, we will become even more harsh and critical, unloving and self-centered.
If we practice living in guilt and inadequacy, we will become small in our own minds and not enjoy God’s grace and unconditional love.
Whatever we water in the souls of our hearts will certainly grow. And if we water these “weeds” in the garden of our souls, they will certainly take over and devastate the crops of faith, love, thankfulness, grace, joy.
And if we practice these attitudes of “sin”, our children will certainly follow our lead and become immature in the same areas of our own lives. What we sow, we will indeed reap, in our lives and in theirs.
So what's being watered in your soul? What do you practice?
Do you know that you feed your spirit just as you feed your body?
The Music we listen to, the Television and Movies we watch.
The conversations we choose to take part in
And many of us just chuck this up to entertainment.
Thinking it doesn't affect us.
So how does God see the things that we view in our quest for amusement? Consider what Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:21: “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.” We cannot say “I am Christ’s” and then say “What I feed my spirit upon is unconnected with my faith in Christ.” There is a reason why Paul also declares that “a little leaven leavens the whole lump.” (Galatians 5:9) Jesus compares this to our lives. You can't include a little sin in your life without affecting your whole soul. He warned His disciples that they couldn't be a little bit hypocritical. Any hypocrisy (not practicing what they preached) would make then unreliable and sinful. In 1 Corinthians, Paul says that the church had to rid itself of unrepentant sinners, because the sin would spread and affect the whole church. When we allow these unacceptable notions to be filtered into our consciousness, we draw farther away from the Father. The Holy Spirit and evil spirits cannot coexist.
Guard your hearing
Be careful what you're listening
Guard your seeing
Be careful what you're looking at
Guard your speaking
Be careful what you're saying
Simply Put Let Go of Your Natural Thinking and Embrace Your Righteous Mind!
ByTheWay......"Stop entertaining folk and addressing their issues, the fact is you have moved up and are living in truth and cannot entertain the falsehood of their lives!Wherever truth stands it diminishes falsehood
All for the latest Gossip but not for the Gospel!
A person who doesn't see the need to change to become closer with God is a dangerous person and when they go down, they will take you down with them!"
