Day 15
Here are the next 3 verses to pray over for 20 minutes:
Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Proverbs 1:7 ESV The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Isaiah 5:22 ESV Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
Consider working often to have control over your phone and devices. Sin is like an old horror movie. Some small vapor comes out of something and it gets bigger, and bigger, and more powerful as every moment goes by. Next thing you know it is killing everyone. That is exactly what the Bible says about sin. It leads to death.
What does “death” mean in regards to our phones/TV’s, and devices?”
Wrong looking leads to wrong thoughts which warps and starts to kill our ability to love. #1 To love God. #2 To love others. We must kill our love for sin, or sin will kill our love for God.
Second, bad thoughts kill our peace. When I was trapped in sin I hated going to bed. In bed, I fully remembered what a mess I had made of my life. In bed, I realized that I had put up a wall a mile high between me and God. In bed, I was frustrated and unhappy with my life… I knew I was going done a dark, bad path.
Third, bad actions kill our gentleness. I just thought, “I am a tough guy.” I was harsh, forceful, and uncaring. In the midst of bad habits, I did not care about anyone or anything. God wants pretty much the opposite of that.
Fourth, wrong looking and thoughts stop goodness. How is it that such a low percentage of churchgoers try to find their purpose so that they will help others? Because, they are staring at satans temptations on their phones constantly. That action stops goodness, and promotes bad habits. Consider praying:
“Father, help me to turn instantly from lust.”
“Father, help me to turn instantly from thoughts of _____.”
I have declared World War III on thoughts of ______(Place your main habit in the blank).
When a bad thought/image hits I might say:
#1 “No, then I say, Praise the Lord.”
#2 “Father, help me to turn from ___.” I often pray this in advance if I am watching TV.
#3 Should I be doing this activity, should I be doing a healthier activity.
#4 This will lead to destruction. It is time to run from it.
Fifth, bad thoughts/looking kills our ability to have temperance. Every time you do one of the above 4 things when a wrong image or thought hits, you build temperance. Every time you sit and stare at the image, or sit and think about the bad thought, temperance weakens.
Sixth, sin leads to sin. Fight all sin and declare WW III on your main habit.
Finally, consider putting a list of what sin kills, into your phone. Then look at that list every time you look at the wrong thing, or think about the wrong thing.
Finally, complete all the daily steps listed on day one.
