Hi Pastor John!
I was thinking about the email Michelle wrote about God caring about what we watch on TV. Jesus let me know how much He cares about what we expose ourselves to. At one time I would sit down in the evenings and watch TV with Jerry. After a few months I realized how this was making me feel. I listened to my CDs throughout the day and studied OT material after work but in the evenings I left to sit through worldly junk. Then I went to sleep with that being the last thoughts for the day. Jesus very gently began to prick my heart about what I was exposing myself to. Even the ” clean ” shows are nothing but noise and distraction.
When I made the choice to curl up with the Bible verses the TV, everything changed. Those good feelings came back. I felt connected to Jesus again. I was thinking about this tonight, and Jesus gave me a thought.
Exposing yourself to what this world has to offer is like going to a place to eat that serves food laced with poison. You may be able to eat a little here and a little there, and just feel a little sick from it, but if you eat that poison everyday, you are going to die. Eating God’s food is so important.
I remember when I was seeking the holy Ghost, searching through different sites on the internet. I saw the cult article. Jesus put it in my heart not to read that article. I am so thankful for that. Jesus cares what we eat and what we expose ourselves to. I love these lessons from Jesus.
